Hello, uh. . . it seems like an introductory post is encouraged? I'm not entirely sure what I should write in it, but it seems like some people don't write anything at all, so perhaps just saying "hi" is enough?

I was very excited to discover that there was an entire forum dedicated to the topic of this wonderful, disgustingly underappreciated series, and even if I don't end up contributing much to the community I would like to be able to participate if and where I can. (Seriously, I don't know anyone else who has ever read these books even though I recommend them to every person I meet and this fact drives me absolutely nuts.)

If there is anything I have done wrong, please do not hesitate to scold me for my mistake and I will do my best to fix it. I have read over the forum regulations and I don't think I've violated anything, but. . . there's no such thing as too cautious?

Other than that, if there is anything else you would like to know about me, please feel free to ask, and I will gladly answer. Thank you for allowing me into such a long-sought community, and I hope we have a great time drooling over Jonathan Stroud's masterpiece together!

Hey, chill. We're pretty relaxed around here, and are highly unlikely to eat you even if you do screw up.
Welcome to the site! Please partake of the obligatory welcome cookies.

There are obligatory welcome cookies?! Thank you!! ^^ Um. . . well, that's good to know, I suppose. Thank you for such a kind welcome!

(Also, you have the greatest emoticon selection I have ever seen. Naming this one "Nathaniel" is a hilarious tangent! xD )

That one's actually named after one of the staff, rather than the character himself. The same goes for the Gladstone smiley, . I had one named after me, but at some point it disappeared. This is unsurprising, as it was one of the ninja smileys. Something like .

Hey welcome. Nice intro of yourself.

Hmm why is Sent so overwhelming warm?

Are you... showing off my comedic skills to the new person? :blink:

You are a ninja, Sentynel? :O

The comic was pretty funny, but I feel like I'm missing something from it? ^^;

Yes. Yes I am.

That meme is a reference to one of the characters in CSI: Miami, Horatio Caine.

Also, welcome newbling. We don't bite, only nibble ;D

*gapes*

Horatio comes from a long line of crime solvers.

I am so very lost, but the spirit of the conversation is quite humorous. xD;;; The comics are very cute, also. Thank you, all, for the warm reception!

*whispers* Quick everyone, lock the door.

Dontcha worry, attempts to traumatize are normal. :D

Guys, where's the glugoomahoopandotden?

^You're expected to recite that right on the spot when we tell you to. From memory. As well as the first hundred digits of pi.

:P

Welcome! And I suggest you go through some of the older posts. You will then realize how cool and relaxed (when it comes to rules and regulations) we are. Or wait...don't. You will learn along the way.

Belated welcome, Scarabsi!! (we need to find a nickname).
Horatio is Epic!!
