Welcome New Members!

Welcome Niekx! Delighted that you introduced yourself and came aboard. Have a fun ride here with all of us.

When looking for an original Avatar I searched on the internet and came across this site with three pages of an Alias Smith & Jones comic book by Colin Andrew.

In the 80s comic books or " strip boeken" as we call them here, were very popular and I owned a big collection back then (still do). These also include "Lucky Luke". I think once you have googled Luke, you get the idea....only with black hair....

And, thank you, Mr Andrew, for borrowing the Kid!

Wow, that is a really great avatar, Niekx! And by the way, welcome to the gang!

lovely new members! Always good to see new avatars!

Howdy, y'all!

Sorry to reply so late. I haven't had much time for fanfiction lately.

I joined up here mostly to keep an eye out for new stories, recs and that sort of thing. In the past I have written poetry and a little short fic in a couple of other fandoms, but my muse has been silent for a long while now. Maybe something here will spark it. You never know.

I, too, like Niekx's (how do you do the possessive form of that name?) avatar. And I thank everyone here (belatedly) for the warm welcome.

Wow! I just registered and I've been welcomed already! How friendly!

Hi Gringa! You're in Spain? How exciting. Hola and welcome

Howdy, Gringa! Welcome to the Gang!!

Hi Gringa and welcome to the gang.

Espero que vendrán y jugar con nosotros

Hey, welcome to the gang Gringa! We have quite the fun group here and we're all pretty easy going so feel free to jump right in.

HOWDY GRINGA!!! Welcome to the gang!

Holla, Gringa!

Welcome aboard

Thanks for the warm welcome to your group. I'm so impressed by how many of you speak Spanish. I've been reading the stories for a long time and eventually took the plunge. I'm glad I did.

We're glad you took the plunge, Gringa! So you're a native Spanish speaker? Your English is excellent! Spanish is the most common foreign language students learn in the US nowadays but I only know some words and phrases due to my work (teaching). Google Translate is great!

Gringa - Mi padre era la mitad Spansh y mitad Holandés. Por favor avíseme si puedo servir. I doubt you need it though!

Thanks for answering my question, Gringa! I'm sure you'll find that people here are very kind to and supportive of new writers. There are other members here for whom English is not their first language so you aren't alone (although it sounds like you grew up bilingually). It is definitely scary to click on that Send button the first time but also exhilarating! And it becomes addictive. If you would like someone to read over your story before you post it, there's a thread in the Writing Spot forum called Beta Readers Needed where you can ask for someone to help you. I look forward to reading something from you whenever you feel ready to post it!

Yes, I'm scared just at the thought! But I'll get it done. If I do need help I know where to ask and Silverkelpie seems very fluent enough to understand me. I knew this seemed a friendly forum.

Muchas gracias. Usted es muy amable
