A Very Timid Hello

[PastMember]

Hello to everyone!  

My name is Maria, but mostly I am called Mina.  I am just lurking around right now.  Ainsley and I correspond via email and she told me that I would really enjoy Triad.  There are some very good stories on the site indeed.  Such an intricate set up that you have!  

I am not sure about joining in just yet, but I received a very nice welcoming email from Vix (thank you again) and she told me that I should come and introduce myself.  It has been a very long time since I have read the books and there is much information on your website.  Perhaps when I have read more I might think about creating someone.  One concern that I have is time.  I probably only have about 30 minutes per day for this activity and some days I might not be able to write at all.  Do you think that would be enough time to write for a character?

[Eimi]

Hi Mina!  Welcome!  I hope you'll enjoy lurking, and hopefully one of these days we can draw you in to writing as well!

And sure, 30 minutes a day is enough for at least one persona!  You can write as much (or as little) as you have time for!

[Mikel]

Welcome to our little asylum.

I am sure Vix can teach you all you need to know about lurking.

Hi Mina!  Welcome to Triad Weyrs.

I would say that a regular (or almost regular) 30 minutes a day would be plenty; better than hours a day for a week then two weeks of nothing!  Some of our writers don't reply to coposts on weekends, for instance, and that doesn't seem to hurt.

There's no penalty for trying it out and later having to make the decision that it's not working.

[Vix]

I'm glad to see you here, Mina!

If you want to test the waters and see 1) If you like writing Pern and 2) If you have enough time, we can involve you in an NPC post. The character will probably be a family member of a member's persona, and you can try it out, writing in-character, and if you copost (write with another player), you can also get immediate feedback on how you're doing and have any questions answered. I'll gladly help you with this!

Welcome to the club, Mina!

[Ainsley]

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so glad that you decided to check it out Mina!  I really think you'll love it!  It's really not hard at all to get started and everyone is very helpful!  Once you're ready you know you can count on me for coposts!

I know you want to....

[Dana]

Welcome, welcome Mina!  :D

[Bree]

Helllooooo! No need to be timid... I don't think we're THAT scary! :D Probably...

But I'm glad you're lurking! Vix is an expert lurker *cough* so she'll take good care of you. :D

[Vix]

Hey! I lurked for a while. Really.

[Paula]

Welcome Mina! Nice to have you here. Lurking or not.

[Vix]

Just so that I can keep this straight in my head: is it pronounced "My-na" or "Mee-na"?

[Patrick]

Welcome Mina.  Its nice to meet you.  And just so you have an idea of how much you can get done in 30 minutes.  One day I typed a history paper, replied to at least ten coposts, updated my Deviant Art Account with three entries, did my math homework OFF the computer and ate dinner.  Now I'm also very good at multitasking, but I got that done in about 30 minutes.  I should probably mention that I also had about three power drinks and eight cups of coffee, so I was WIRED!!!

Again Welcome!

Or Min-na :laughing5:
