Hello. I'm the newest Newbie.

This is my first PBEM experience, so be gentle. I've been a fan of Anne McCaffrey since college (the late 80's). My mother actually gave me Dragonflight and I've been hooked ever since. I have submitted to adopt Supaka as my first persona since I have never participated in anything like this before. Anyone with any advice, tips, or co-post ideas, please help! And if I do anything stupid, please forgive my ignorance and clue me in!

Hey Vanessa! Welcome! No worries! You'll find lots of help and fit right in

Greetings, Vanessa -- and welcome!
As soon as your adoption of Supaka has been approved, you'll receive plenty of offers for coposts from all of us who write at the Dolphin Hall. In fact, I'm offering up any or all of mine whenever you'd like!

Welcome Vanessa!!!!

its a madhouse here, but we're all friendly and welcoming. Anyone will help you settle right in!

Where in Texas? I'm a Texan to my fingertips. The only thing not Texan about me is my address. Dangit!

:sign6: Ummm... Clancey, did you break into my response and try to turn me into a Texan?

Welcome, welcome! :D

Welcome Vanessa! Don't worry, we don't bite (we just swallow you whole. You will never get rid of us, :banned: ask Vix.)
I have sona in dolphin hall if you need posts and I've also written Supaka's NPC-husband.

Well, my older brother lived in Austin for a while, and my neighbor's from Austin... So doesn't that make me a Texan by association?

Not that being a Texan isn't a great thing, but I think should clear up any misunderstaing and say that I am a:

Olympian-Spokanite-Ellensburgian-Seattlite-Washingtonian-American refugee in Japan ;)

That should make things much clearer!

I'm in Longview. Moved here when I was 8 (mama married a Texan). Went to A&M at College Station, then UTMB in Galveston. Lived in Houston for 4 yrs as well. When I got ready to have a family I realized Longview was the best place in the world to grow up!

Glad to know you!...All of you.

And thanks for the warm welcome. :occasion5: Cheers!

Clear as mud, thanks!

By the way, I was born in Japan! My father was in the navy. My family lived at the naval base in Yokosuka for 4 years. My older sisters remember it, but we came home right after I was born. I'd like to visit someday, though.

Eimi · September 21, 2007, 09:28:47 AM

Well, I just mean I lived in Olympia, Spokane, Ellensburg, and kinda Seattle, all in WA state ;)

Yokosuka is the base just outside Yokohama, isn't it? I've a had a few friends who dated Yokosuka boys ;)

QuoteYokosuka is the base just outside Yokohama, isn't it? I've a had a few friends who dated Yokosuka boys

Yes, south of Yokohama. Right on the peninsula. So are those Yokosuka boys cute? Hmmm. I AM the only one of 5 girls with Brown eyes. :silent:

WHOOP!!!!!!!!!!!!! AN AGGIE!

I graduated in '99 from A&M, but I should've been class of '95 (OOPS).

I'm so stoked to have another Aggie on the site! Of course, then you blew it by going to UTMB. LOL.

We're practically neighbors Vanessa. I lived in Tyler for almost 4 years right before I came up here. I've got a really good friend that lives in Longview too

I was born in Orange, Texas and lived in Texas all my life except for a few years in Michigan, 1 blissful year in Colorado, and then the last 5 years in Illinois. Ick.
