Hi, I'm new!

Hello everyone. For more than a year now, I've been coming on these boards as an unregistered guest, checking the Expanded Universe board for the latest news on upcoming releases, and spending loads of time thoroughly exploring the fanfic areas. Then, just recently, I decided that I was missing out on all the fun and finally registered. I'm very excited about my new account and can't wait to start sharing my thoughts.

Also, I have a quick question (forgive me if this isn't the right place for it). For some unknown reason, I cannot view regular drop-down menus on websites, due to a problem with my computer. How big of an issue will that be on these boards? Thanks in advance.

Hey, there Philomena! Welcome to the JC. You've lurked around here for a whole year? That's quite impressive! The pull of the JC is strong, however, so it's not surprising you finally registered to join in the fun!

As for your computer issue, you may be inconvenienced here and there by not being able to access the selection of colors for text or something like that, but otherwise, you'll be fine. You can definitely manage around here without coloring your text and whatnot.

What kind of fanfic are you into? There's a whole lot of that around, so you've got a lot to choose from.

Shoot me a PM if you need help finding something or just want to chat!

Thanks for the warm welcome, Trika.

I'm glad to hear the lack of drop-down menus won't be a big problem. I've accustomed to getting by without them by now, and I'm sure that I'll be able to figure out most of the drop-down features eventually.

As for fanfic, I spend most of my time on the Beyond the Saga board... generally reading mushy, fluffy, romantic stories. Or stories with lots of emotional drama. I haven't yet decided if I'm going to contribute any fanfic myself. I know next to nothing about all the "details" in the GFFA (like droids and all the different species) that would make the atmosphere more credible. I'll probably just hang around the fanfic area for a while until I'm more comfortable with my abilities.

 

Ah ha, you are just like me in a way. I was a lurker before I joined (but not for a whole year! ) as well. Although I don't read as many things in the Beyond boards, the fanfiction areas are some of my favorite places on here.

You don't really need all that much knowledge to write something credible, all you really need is wookieepedia.

Anyways, welcome to the insanity, if you need help with anything, feel free to PM me, or Trika.

Hi, I'm old!

I never use the drop-down menus. You can click the links in the header for the menu of JC Forums. When you find boards you like, add them to your favorites.

 

Welcome. At first also me has been lurking here only.

 

Wow, such a friendly board! Thanks for the welcomes, I really appreciate it.
