Hello

[Dubrichius]

Well, I suppose that it's customary to include a little bit about myself in the introduction thread, so here goes.

I'm just a simple near-twenty year old guy who's been reading various fanfiction stories for almost three years, and made a few rather pitiful (in my opinion at least) attempts to write them too. I tend to be a rather shy and quiet person, both on the web and in real life, so you probably won't hear much from me. I've read stories based on Bubblegum Crisis, Knights of the Old Republic, Ranma 1/2, Evangelion, Love Hina, Harry Potter, and the Legend of Zelda series.

While I don't think too highly about my writing skills, I would like to get better, because one of my aspirations is to be a moderately successful novelist. So if anyone can offer any little tidbits or pieces of advice, it'd be hugely appreciated.

Well then let me be the first to welcome you to the wretched hive of scum and villainy (a.k.a. the Fukufics forum)

[Screwball]

Greetings. Come in, ist down, make yourself ocmfortable, and don't mind the furnace I'm heating in order to dispose of your blasted corpse... Uh, you didn't hear that last bit, okay?

First off, welcome to the forums.

I'm just a simple near-twenty year old guy who's been reading various fanfiction stories for almost three years, and made a few rather pitiful (in my opinion at least) attempts to write them too. I tend to be a rather shy and quiet person, both on the web and in real life, so you probably won't hear much from me.

Good, Ranma's in there, now all we need to do is get you to cross it over....KOTOR is a possibility I've had in my head, especially amnesiac Revan isn't just Revan.....or, Ranma is Revan's alternate personality.

While I don't think too highly about my writing skills, I would like to get better, because one of my aspirations is to be a moderately successful novelist. So if anyone can offer any little tidbits or pieces of advice, it'd be hugely appreciated.

Hmm.....probably best if you stay away from Spamville, then.

[Draconis Stelanaris]

Welcome, and good luck with your writing.

If you wish to keep your sanity, you best avoid Spamville. Great place, but a little bit like one of those beasties from Lovecraft... Rather hard on the old sanity.

Welcome to Fukufics, Dubrichius!

Larry (or some one else) will come along with a link to the site's rules and Bliss will likely come along with the Spamville "rules" later (I'm to lazy to do it right now).

Always remember: when entering Spamville leave your sanity (and wallet) at the door because if you don't the Mazoku will probably steal them.

Have fun!

what would the Mazoku need money for?

what would the Mazoku need money for?

He's just a kleptomaniac.

*whacks lazy camk4evr*

Don't leave the newbies hang by promising them rules then depriving them of those because you're lazy!!

Right... Rules... Here's a link to the site's rules (if you haven't read them already):
http://www.fukufics.com/viewtopic.php?t=351

And here are the standard Spamville rules (more like guidelines):

1. watch out for Mazoku and Succubi --- Himitsu in particular
2. Never accept a weapon from Screws
3. Never get between any two people when they're arguing especially don't get in between Neko-chan and Himitsu when their 'arguing'
4. Always carry weapons... big, powerful and lots of it
5. Sanity is optional. Leave it at the door.
6. Acey's place is probably one of the only safehouses in Spamville besides the It's Saturday Night
7. Watch out for random splashes of water... you're likely going to get cursed... oh don't get stabbed by Zombies, or accept anything costume related from perky catgirls (that's me =^_^=)
8. Don't get blasted, if you do get blasted make sure you blast them back ^^... yeah it's a new rule
9. Bring weapons.
10. Be careful when treading in Spamville, it's a madhouse
11. Did I mention the weapons?
12. Paranoia is the best route to safety ^^
13. Be careful of deities, and robots
14. Be careful of Legozilla
15. N2 mines hurt, orbital lances hurt more.
16. Kill the Spore. ^~
17. Feed the Succubus (Okonomiyaki)<-- You owe me for this Valk
18. Enjoy the atmosphere, but don't get in between a fight between the Brotherhood and the succubi
19. School is a very dangerous place, well the students are...
20. Don't accept weapons from Screws, or anybody else for that matter, they have a tendency to how should I put this....malfunction and explode at inoppurtune times...except for Camk.... they blow up when you want them to.
21. Overkill is an unknown term. So is collateral damage.
22. Random Plug: Don't forget to stop by at the 'Guess the Movie Thread' located under 'Other'.
23. Be wary of convoluted familial relationships and devious daughters of Mazoku ( I'm looking at you Shades-chan)
24. Watch out, you might end up getting cursed and engaged...
25. Random Plug: If you've seen those Animated-Avvies, then you should talk to Cybses (Cyber_Skaarj), he does excellent work, and I'm sure if you ask nicely and he isn't too busy, he'd make one for you too *grins* and Cybses being the multi-talented person that he is can also make animated banners as well... go here for more information. *grins*
26. Don't forget the other sites, like Dante's (Calling all Succubus thread), the Arena (Lightning's Arena), and the Schools *grins*.... if you dare. Oh and visit WarG's Curse and Go and the Lab *grins* Nothing bad will happen I promise *crosses fingers behind my back*
27. Most importantly have fun and enjoy yourself

Reading that I suppose you could determine for yourself if you should stay away from Spamville. It would be best for your sanity I suppose.

Anyways... Welcome to the forums, enjoy yourself, and make sure we enjoy your company

[Rei-chan]

Welcome to the boards and I hope you enjoy yourself.
