Hullo!
....
......
Now what do I do?
Erm. Okay, well. I'm a fan of fanfiction, specifically yaoi (shamefully so), although I do enjoy a well written het. My favorite genre is FF7 (duh), and favorite most beloved character would be.. have to be.. Cloud. As much as I'd love to say Zack (I'm gonna marry him someday >>), it's always Cloud I come back to. :3
I've been reading fanfiction for about a year now, and perused through hundreds and hundreds of stories. I've written, erm, well one really. One and a half, maybe. A crossover my mind became obsessed with for a couple of months before I was forced to put it on paper (so to speak) (It got nominated here! :O ). I'd plug in a link to it if I could but I don't know if that's allowed? Shameless plugging?
I love discussing stories with other people, though. Especially discussing the FF7 fandom in general, and then -especially- regarding mechanics and characterization and all things technical. Kind of silly for me to say when I admit I haven't ever beaten the game and haven't played it in so long that I can't remember anything about it and all my information comes from extensive research on my own part. *takes a breather*
Hm. My second favorite fandom would have to be... KH, with FF8 following closely behind. I never really played through the KH games, but with my mind as Cloud-centric as ever I can't help but be drawn to them (even if he is a minor character). FF8 on the other hand was my one first true love in the world of Final Fantasy and RPG games, and although now I can understand why everyone says FF7 is better, FF8 and Squall still hold a special place in my heart. :3
Wow, I've rambled! So.. Hi, everyone. :) Looking forward to meeting new people!

YAOI! *coughs* Don't be ashamed of liking it on GA, we're a welcoming bunch and quite a few of us love it to. I, for one, mainly read yaoi though I do love a good het. Yes I do. Anyway, I'm Jeanne the resident Sparkle Fairy and soul consuming muffin maker. I'm not a baker, I just provide them! As for shameless plugs, I think all of us have done it once or twice

Or I will make Genesis burn your pants too! *sorry about randomness but you should totally check out the rp boards if you are interested* *hands cookies* Thank you for not being scared away by this ridiculous welcome. Have fun. ~ Shagi Wow, people say hello already! :) That makes me feel so happy and mushy inside! Hee. ...Who's pants did Genesis already burn? :( Please don't let him burn my pants, they are floofy pajama pants and I love them so! RP boards, huh? ...Maybe. :o I'd feel so sheepish, I bet. Not that I haven't RP'd before just.. ..Iunno, still sheepish. ^^; And no, not frightened at all! Ecstatic, random hyperness in healthy doses is great for everyone! Thank you so much for the welcoming, er, welcome! :DDD Well hi! A very warm welcome to the GA and from the sounds of things, we're gonna like you :) Hehe, don't be afraid to ask any questions and I hope you have a lotta fun here. See you around! Thank you so much! ^^ And I will be certain to voice any questions I may have. I'm much too cautious to do anything without being assured. :) I hope I can fit in nicely here, sounds like it! YAOI! *coughs* Don't be ashamed of liking it on GA, we're a welcoming bunch and quite a few of us love it to. I, for one, mainly read yaoi though I do love a good het. Yes I do. Anyway, I'm Jeanne the resident Sparkle Fairy and soul consuming muffin maker. I'm not a baker, I just provide them! As for shameless plugs, I think all of us have done it once or twice ;) << *coughs with you, shifty eyes* >> I'm so shameful. xD Please don't consume my soul. I like it. :) Hee. Although, I do enjoy me some muffins. Particularly blueberry. Mmm. Blueberries.. I decided to just put the thingy on my profile thing. ^^ That way it's not shameless plugging on my part, just happenstance I mentioned things and people looked for them.. >> Hee. I'm so devious! Thanks so much for welcoming me! :3 Can't wait until I get out of the awkward welcome stage and into the regular 'hey how ya doin''. :D Mod Edit: posts merged. Hit modify post instead of mulit posting, kay?Oops! Sorry, thank you so much for fixing that for me! Will do! ^^;

Why is he burning their pants?! ....Nevermind. That's a loaded question in a forum like this. Baw haw haw! And no, not frightened. Though a little hesitant. ^^; Why is Shagi hyper if Shagi is not normally hyper? I suffered a bout of unexplained hyperness the other day; I think I scared someone with it. Hee! OH MY MOTHER OF MANA! You like blueberry muffins too?! You are my new bestest friend m'kay? I love blueberry muffins and now I'm craving them but I won't have any for another few weeks DD: Also, Soul Consuming Muffins come in blueberry. :D :D Why yes I do! Warm, fluffy, freshly-baked blueberry muffins! Mmm, I can just smell them now! And okay, new bestest friends are always fun! Hee. I am sorry that you won't be having any for another few weeks. ;_; Although I have to admit I am not sorry for having a box waiting to be made downstairs. >> Mmmmm, maybe I shall be having some this evening, baw haw haw! Hee. Hello, and welcome to our little crazy corner of the web! Hello! Thank you for welcoming me. :) Doesn't seem that bad here, think I might stay. Hee. ^^ Well, howdy! Come mosey on up and stay awhile. :D Let's mosey! I love it. I think I will stay for a bit. Thank you so much! :) P.S. Does anyone know how to quote other posts in a reply thread more efficiently than what I've been doin'? ^^; Which is opening new window, hitting quote, copying and pasting it in this window, repeat. Share the secret?

Nope ^^
And yes, bestest friends! I shan't begrudge you your blueberry muffins for I believe it's rude to do such a thing as I acquire the delicacy so sporadically. I love them though... warm. Toasty. Muffins... mmm...
Hehe...

Heh, sadly Stray (I can call you that, right?) that's pretty much the only way to do it. As far as I know.
Still, glad you seem to be liking the place!

You could just do what I do and write your post in a seperate word document before copy-and-pasting it into the reply box...
