Scoot over... that's right. We get to make room for another new gang member.
A big howdy do to rachel_74_1!
Tell us a little about yourself: I know you're a writer - hope you'll join us in our monthly challenges. Are you a Heyesian or a Kidette?

I'm a Kidette, but not exactly immune to the charms of either. I had written in other fandoms, however my last story before my recent forays was 15 years ago, but two handsome cowboys broke the drought.

Howdy!
Long time lurker, but I finally decided to take the plunge and join you. I have to admit I am a little in awe: so many of my ASJ heroes are members here. I consider myself more a reader than a writer, but I have written a few stories and even posted some of them. The one about Coffee, the dog, seemed to be well-liked.
I am a dyed-in-the-wool dimple slut. Heyes completely stole my heart with that oh-so-careful look around the boxcar door towards the un-exploded safe in the pilot, and he has never given it back.
What else to say? I am not an English native speaker. And before moving to the UK a number of years ago and accidentally stumbling across ASJ on the telly one day, I had almost convinced myself that Heyes and the Kid had been imaginary childhood friends. I had never encountered anyone who was a fan or even remembered them... So I am truly grateful to all of you for providing this haven (wrong metaphor) hideout and keeping the boys alive.
Cheers
Gan Ainm

Long time, no see, ey. ;-)
Looks like I managed to scoot in just ahead of you.

Awesome Sauce - new members are always welcome and it looks like we've hit the jackpot with this newest bunch!
I'm glad y'all decided to join in the fun. This site is a great place to relax, play, read, write and comment on stories.
Since it seems I've fallen a bit behind the welcome wagon, I'm going to say Howdy to the last 5 of you on the list, even though you, Nightwalker and Dan Kerr, are pretty well-known already, but I want to make it official
Nightwalker Gan Ainm Gemhenry Dan Kerr rachel_74_1!
Nightwalker: I've enjoyed your writing and you're always ready to comment on a story - perfect combination! You've been a very welcome addition to the gang.
Dan Kerr: Congratz on writing your first challenge! I look forward to reading more. I've long been a fan of reading your comments, especially on my own work. You have such great insight and just seem to know the words to make a writer feel as if they have just written a Pulitzer Prize Winning story! I once shared with Penski that I wanted to print out and frame your comments, just so I could stand there and admire them on my wall! If I never ever get an award, I'll always have YOUR wonderful comments to cherish.
Gan Ainm: Lurking is totally fine, but I'm glad you've decided to become a full-fledged member and look forward to you maybe trying your hand at a challenge in the near future
Gemhenry: I'm looking forward to 'meeting' and getting to know you as you join in the fun.
rachel_74_1!: I'm glad to hear that Heyes and Kid helped bring your writing drought to an end - I'm hoping you'll share a new story with us very soon.

Right now I am a reader however I hope to start writing. I have always made up stories just never really put them on paper. I guess you could say I am a Heyes girl. Just discovered fan fiction a couple of years ago and I really enjoy it. Looking forward to reading stories on this site.

I was a reader with zero intention of writing since English wasn't a favorite subject nor did I get good grades in it. The February 2008 challenge prompt got me thinking what I would write about and I got an idea that wouldn't leave me until I wrote it down. With encouragement, I nervously posted it. I was hooked and only missed 5-6 challenges since then. Folks are helpful and willing to beta-read or proofread before posting. Jump in... the water is pleasant!

Hi. Thanks for the welcome. Actually I'm both. I like to read stories that others have written and I also like to write my own. I'm working on a couple right now and hopefully I'll get them finished some time soon. I'm a Heyes girl, too. So, most of what I write tends to focus on him.

I don't get over to this site as often as I'd like, and have missed a lot of new members, so Howdyto everyone. Glad there are so many people out there interested in reading/writing fiction.

Welcome to all the new members, there's quite a group that I have missed during my hiatus. Glad you all joined! To those of you who write, I'm hoping to read some challenges from each of you. To those of you, who are readers/lurkers. I was a lurker for a long time before I finally wrote a challenge to see if I could write something other from long ago school. The members are very encouraging and supportive so don't be shy.

I don't know if I am doing this in the right place. I have been a reader for years. I am a Kidette, but you gotta' love em both. I love reading all of the stories that you ladies post.
