Yes, I've been gone from the board for a week and they go ahead and put up a whole page of stuff for me to catch up on...

So, yes- hello, welcome Danielle, have a fluffy velociraptor, enjoy your time at the PPC!

Have an exotic pet kakapo trained in assorted martial arts and yodeling Mozart!

Hi! Here, have an Infinite Notebook, lined, complete with urple covers and wilver binding!

-Aila

Hello, fellow Trekkie! Here, have a snowglobe, complete with a replica of the Trekverse starship of your choice.

What fandoms are you in? Do you prefer movies, books, TV shows, comics, manga/anime? Have a cookie.

I share almost all your fandoms, except for Star Wars. Which Star Trek series do you prefer?

And as for a newbie gift... have a toaster! It's polka-dotted in Suvian colors of your choice, and shoots pastries at high velocity!

Have a welcoming wibbly wobbly detector. It goes ding when there's stuff!

*tackle hug* Welcome! It's nice to meet you.

I'm also a shiny newbie here, having joined only two days ago. Let's stick together, ne? :)

Welcome to the Board! Have some of my world-famous hydrophobic water to commemorate the event. Monoatomic!

Have some BleepNerds for your welcome gift!

Greetings, new friend! Help yourself to the sack of venomous invertebrates. Don't worry; they don't bite!

Hi, Pauline here. I promise I'm usually on here a lot more than I am this week :)

Have some bleepolate ice cream as a welcome-to-the-board gift.

Have some lemming repellent, and welcome!

Welcome to the lovely Board! You'll find many here with the same fandoms, which is most wonderful. Now, for an appropriate gift... a large bottle of Bleeprin, because you're soon to witness horrors beyond imagination! (Beware the Circle of Lemmings!)

Well, it falls to me once again to show the ceremonial wiki link to another newbie. That leads to the Constitution in particular, which you should read, and the pages leading to all the spin-offs, as well as the Original Series, which you should at least take a look at if you haven't already.

Don't pay any attention if people make jokes about trying to eat you; it was a craze from the last few newbies that may or may not be dying down by now.

What are your fandoms, by the way? Most newbies say them in their introductory thread, to let people know what you like and let the Board regulars know what gifts you might appreciate.

Now, let's see, what do I have to give you? Let me look around for a minute... here you go! Take this jar of blue! No, not blue objects in a jar, just the color blue. You can use it to re-color things, to confuse and surprise others, and if you open the jar, the bright flash of light as the blue escapes could be useful for escaping enemy ambushes!

(I'd been planning on using the name Danielle for an Agent I was developing, but if I use it now, I might look like I'm copying your name. Hmm. Maybe I'm just being paranoid.)
