Done that. I just got off a seven-month course of drugs that caused me to become super-depressed, so they're just now starting to wear off.
I actually had a lack of confidence until I started having people read my stuff. I've gotten good reviews, so far.

I've kind of got a severe lack of confidence and didn't think I would actually write enough to bother. Turns out, I was relatively justified (I've only finished one mission) but that'll probably change once the antidepressants start working... and that was probably more information than you wanted.

I won't worry. Besides, I've got ODST to keep me occupied.
And my co-author yelling at me to write more of my story.
Why so long?

Of course, I was on the Board a year before I bothered to get Permission, so maybe I shouldn't be talking.

Generally, I try to think of this website as a forum full of pages which use html, since thinking of it as a forum puts my head into BB format. *grin*

Or if you consider that animal cruelty, have some Anti-Lustin Warscythes instead! You won't regret it.

No reason why not, I think, if you're planning to apply for Permission in a month. Most of us take a long time to get around to things that are already on our kill lists, anyway.

This is great! I'm one of the Order of the Sphinx. ^^
I'm also in the process of re-reading the Harry Potter books right now--just about to get onto Half-Blood Prince, actually. ^^
I wish I knew the FMA manga, but I've only seen the anime. At least it was fan-subbed, not the Cartoon Network dub. {= P I look forward to the story, though.
It's great to see you around again. \o/

The PPC was formed.
What follows in that link is a random Marine with an OOC Spartan and a just as OOC Doctor.
Not only did the writing style, grammar, and punctuation (or lack thereof) send my mind for a loop trying to figure out exactly what was going on, but the OOC Spartan (who happens to be one of my favorites, mind) and Doctor makes me want to stab a sharp object in to someone's eye. And I'm not a great judge of this (not yet anyway), but I think someone in this story is a Sue. I just haven't figured out who.
If I ever get Permission, which I sincerely hope I do, I would love to do a PPC mission of this.

There are people I remember around! This makes me feel less old. Huzzah.
Yeah, I really hate to leave things unfinished, so I figure if I can do right by HFA, I might then be motivated to explore some other fandoms without thinking, "you should really finish HFA".

I don't watch a super-lot of anime, so I feel pretty good picking and choosing the dubs that are good. And I'm excited that the dubcast is coming back for Brotherhood, they were good the first time around.

His name is actually Jonathan Thomas Meriweather, but Mudge the otter can't pronounce it and calls him Jon-Tom.

And speaking as someone who also has an OFU hanging over her head (three years and only ten chapters published? Bad me!) it's so awesome to see you coming back and starting it up again - gives us all hope!

Go read the main TVTropes.org page, it'll help you get a lot of injokes in fandom-type circles.
"Culling of the Fold" might be useful for an assassination, but beyond that I can think of no practical use for any Decemberists songs unless one finds oneself in dire need of an 1800s hooker (well, Mudge could probably find a use for one) or a giant ship-eating whale. Why are all my favourite songs depressing or violent? No wonder I had so many emotional problems in my teen years. Nine Inch Nails is pretty useless too. I could probably eventually find a song for any situation, but what impresses me about Jon-Tom is that he does it WITHOUT the benefit of a lyrics website with a search engine.
