After a few comments to ¡ÁS¦Ó¡è§ñ§ÞieZ¡Á over in the proboards support section, I've finally joined. But I must confess, I'm not sure this is the right place for me. Y'all seem very friendly and interesting and interested, but you are also (mostly) the same ages as my children and I think I want a forum of folks closer to my age. Also, I write for a living, but with five kids, I am a freelancer who doesn't write too frequently. I might average two or three articles published in newspapers each month. Maybe a poem sees some on-line time here and there, but nothing much. So, let's see how this goes. Thanks for being open to others.

Huh. I cut-n-pasted the name of the person over in the proboards support with whom I was chatting. Guess the name is unusual and so didn't transfer. Maybe s/he'll reveal herself to us.

Well, I'm glad you could join us and I look forward to reading your work. The larger number of us are, indeed, younger. I feel that this generation has quite the number of writers, and I can't complain at all. We do have several older members, which is always a special treat! All our members are very mature and respectful, and I take a special delight in reading work that was written for an older audiance. Ever since I was about 12 years old, I've had an advanced reading level. In grade seven, I was reading (roughly) four to five Steven King books in a month. (This was because they were the only books my mother read, until the Wheel of Time series). So let me be the first to welcome you, and tell you I can't wait to read some of your work! Thank you for joining. Your Friendly Admin, Oats.

Welcome! I'm glad you decided to join us.
×Sτ¤ямieZ× would be the member you were speaking with. It's a coded name so copying and pasting won't work. Sorry for the trouble. I'm glad you changed your mind and I'm sure you'll like it here. As I told you before, there are many different age groups and it's mostly the writing that counts. And as Oats said, everyone here is very mature and respectful, so you have nothing to worry about.
Thanks for joining and enjoy your stay!
