Hi! by Mechajin on 2012-05-09 01:17:00 UTC Reply

Hello there, everyone. I'm a newcomer to this board. I'm not really sure what to say other than "Hi!' and "I sometimes speak in Fangirl Japanese, please don't maim and/or smite me! D:" I guess I'll just slowly introduce myself through talking to you all. I find that's the best approach. :D

(P.S: If I slip up on grammar/spelling, do let me know. I don't run forum posts through a spellchecker, and Firefox's built in one is rubbish.) I look forward to talking to you all soon! :)

Have a shoebox of random items. At least one of them is guaranteed to be useful... probably.

Have some Swiss Chocolate and some Bleepka. They'll come in handy pretty soon.
Welcome! by firemagic on 2012-05-11 01:34:00 UTC Reply

Have some cookies. They contain Schrodinger's chips, so they may or may not have chocolate in them.

So, what're your fandoms? LoTR? Discworld? Video games, cartoons, film?

Hey, have you seen Nanoha or Madoka?

Re: And you already said your fandoms... by Mechajin on 2012-05-11 18:28:00 UTC Reply

@Fire: No, I have not. I'm not really a fan of Magical Girl stuff. (I'm sure I've heard that they are Magical Girl anime{'s?}} I also like discworld. Lots. So. Much. :D

@Dramatic:Ah, thanks for the Bleepka. I'm more of a fan of NM&NM's though, and also my own creation, Dr.Bleeper. Full of Caffiene, Sugar, AND Bleeprin!

Have a wizard hat, magic not included. So, what are your fandoms?

Fandoms by Mechajin on 2012-05-09 20:21:00 UTC Reply

I don't really write fanfiction for anything, but the works I enjoy are numerous. I like a lot of Anime/Manga, and most works by Square Enix end up in my games collection (which is numerous). I am also a big fan of the webcomic Homestuck, but there's a lot of other stuff besides that. Like Fire Emblem, and Hitchhiker'(?)s Guide To The Galaxy, And, And, And, Andandandand...

Welcome to the Board fellow newbie. Have a Tounge of Many Tounges. It's a plastic tounge that speaks most languges mostly fluently. That may help your clear up your fangirl Japanese. Also, what are your fandoms?

It's nice to meet you~ I don't want to ramble too much, so I'll just hand you this box of infinity and leave.

Have a cookie. Contains distilled Essence of History.
Warning: Essence of History causes uncontrollable searching for obscure historical facts. Like how Napoleon planned his battles in a sandbox.

@Data: I seem to be pre-empting you a lot. Maybe I' psychic? :P
Wait. Sue Blood?! Eeew, so glittery and saccharine!

It *is* good evening. And awh! Word of advice: Brotherhood is better.

Re: Yup. by Mechajin on 2012-05-09 18:37:00 UTC Reply

I'll keep that in mind! :)

Welcome! by Data Junkie on 2012-05-09 02:14:00 UTC Reply

Welcome and hello!

Because I'm terrible at coming up with gifts, I instead dispense advice: If you haven't already, you should check out our wiki. Especially the guides and FAQs. They'll give you a pretty good idea what we're about. Better than TvTropes, at least, which seems to be where most of the new people are coming from. Also, mocking is (in my case, at least) good-natured, and directly proportional to the amount of Otakuese used in my presence.

Now that that's out of the way, what're some of your fandoms? (And, if you're comfortable with answering it, what're your preferred pronouns?)
Thanks. :D by Mechajin on 2012-05-09 02:11:00 UTC Reply

Ooh, chocolate!

Okay. Question: What does the "K" rating on the claimed/unclaimed badfic lists on the wiki mean? I'm English, so I don't know much about American ratings. I'm assuming it means something like "Kiddie".

On ratings by Data Junkie on 2012-05-09 02:25:00 UTC Reply

Essentially. It means "appropriate for all ages."

K+, should you run into it, is roughly 12-14 or older, T is 16ish or older, and M is Mature Readers Only.

They are, in order, roughly analogous to the BBFC's "U", "12A"/"12", "15", and "18".

Thanks for the Welcome! by Mechajin on 2012-05-09 02:37:00 UTC Reply

@Data: Thanks for the welcome! I've already been 'round the wiki! But thanks for trying to give some advice! As for the gifts problem, why not try giving out bumper stickers?

Moving on to gender and fandoms: I'm a he. I didn't realize that I hadn't actually referred to myself as such! Fandom-Wise, I don't actually write any fanfiction, and the list of stuff I like is huge, but Homestuck and a lot of Square-Enix stuff is high on the list, so I guess you couod say those :P!

(P.S: I had actually found out about the ratings just before you posted, but thanks anyway :D)

Derp. Forgot a question by Data Junkie on 2012-05-09 02:45:00 UTC Reply

D'you write fanfiction of your own? If so, have you published it anywhere online?

D'you maybe write original fiction?

Re: ... Man, I failed hard at reading comprehension. by Mechajin on 2012-05-09 03:07:00 UTC Reply

I haven't written anything for a long time, I haven't had any inspiration. Up until stumbling upon this place, that is!

Re: Thanks for the Welcome! by Data Junkie on 2012-05-09 02:43:00 UTC Reply

Bumper stickers are someone else's thing. I may start giving out shots. Of Sue Blood. Not sure.

Um... by desdendelle on 2012-05-09 02:16:00 UTC Reply

It's the rating Fanfiction.net uses.
