Please allow me to introduce myself...

[Ellion]

Hello folks, I'm new here. Was looking for a way to practice my writing, and I found that I really can't keep a blog, a journal, a writers notebook, or anything else really. I'm hoping this website will help provide me with incentive!

To tell you a little about myself: I'm a 22 (soon to be 23!) year old from Pennsylvania. I recently graduated with a BSE in English, and I'm currently looking for teaching jobs. In addition to allowing me an outlet for writing, I'm seeking a way to escape the crippling depression of job searching. In all seriousness, I've always had an interest in fantasy novels, games, and roleplay, and this really just seems like a great place for me to hang out. Despite having my degree in English, I don't consider myself to be a great writer by any means. I just want to keep improving, and I'm excited for you all to help me with that :)

I look forward to getting to know everyone and creating wonderful tales of swords and sorcery!

Welcome! You have 24 hours until I invite you to join one of my two powergroups! : D

[Luned]

Welcome to the site, Ellion! Don't hesitate to drop a line if you have any questions or need help getting started. Althanas can be a bit daunting at times for new people, but we're all very friendly! How did you hear of us?

[Otto]

Hello, Ellion. Make yourself at home :)

[BlackAndBlueEyes]

Pay no mind to Sei's threats, Ellion. Know that The Bandit Brotherhood is the only power group worth joining!

And welcome to Althanas!

[Silence Sei]

Says the guy whose character is considering MizBiz : P

[Zook Murnig]

Jesus, guys. You act like yours are the only Power Groups around. If someone would go ahead and approve the re-registration of the Order of the Golden Dawn, he'd have a real option.

[Silence Sei]

......BaBE, can we proceed to laugh at Zook?

[Hu]

Hello Ellion.

Welcome to Althanas, and all the wonder and strangeness that entails!

Congratulations on graduating, it's nice to see more graduates here writing away in our twilight years, hehe.

[Ellion]

Appreciate all the warm welcomes folks! To answer an earlier question, I had a friend who used to frequent this site, but I'm not entirely sure what handle he used.

[BlackAndBlueEyes]

Hmm..

Yes, Sei, I think we shall.

*guffaw*

[Silence Sei]

What a joke! Much like the Golden Dawn!

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[Pepita]

welcome aboard. : )

[BlackAndBlueEyes]

Sei, don't you mean the Golden Yawn?

AAHAHAHAHAROFLCOPTERLOLLERSKATES

[Zook Murnig]

Is this a welcome thread still? Because I'm not sure anymore.

As a fellow English major, welcome to Althanas, Ellion.
