This is the area for our newbies, a place to introduce themselves and to ask silly and intelligent questions alike.
The Official Chairman of Heartfelt Welcomes, dear newbies, is gentle Claidham. If anyone here will be friendly towards you, it's him.
Ok, just kidding.
Welcome to the board!

To Dirjj and others looking for out-of-print gems:

Try www.addall.com - they search a lot of used-book sources, with good success. I have used them to locate and buy two old sf/fantasy collections in good condition, one from the early 40's (Wollheim's first) and one from the 50's (Best of Fritz Leiber). Anything more recent should be duck soup.

Ah, at last I find the proper place to introduce myself. I've been lurking for the last couple weeks, but the insanity of Bobity (which I stumbled into after a reading a reference on another thread) finally convinced me of the wisdom of joining such a crew of well . . . words fail me. And so I decided to introduce myself. I will now lollop over to the readers page and give a more complete account of myself.

Welcome Aerian. Claidhaim, who chairs our Welcome Committee, will be along shortly with a gift basket. Do you like blackberries? The correct answer is "yes". They're sort of the featured fruit at this message board.

Hello Aerian! I won't give you my thoughts on the "fruit of the message board" just let me say that I dislike blackberries.

We never garnered enough funds for the boo....er, fruit baskets, but we did have some nice towels around here someplace.... I think they are being used as wall hangings in a shack at the Neck, or maybe blankets. So, sorry, no gifts for you today.....Wait! Here's a nice peach for you to welcome you to our crazy little hole in cyberspace.

No Blackberries for Aerian? Strange? I would give you some chocolate, but kay stole it all, so my warm welcome will have to do. :-)

I knew that Norwegian was trouble, but chocolate theft!?! He plumbs new depths as we speak.

Claid, I just wanted to give you a heads-up that we're nearing the end of this topic. As Chairman of the Welcome Committee, you are naturally entrusted with the creation of the next one :)

BTW, did you submit your operating budget for calendar year 2000? I mean for welcome baskets and other gifts???

I am pleased that so many have joined us here in our little piece of heaven. Welcome all newcomers . As you will no doubt find out, we are truly mezmerized by this series and will discuss and argue just about everything in the books, or hinted at in the books, or what we think might have been hinted at in the books. We are all a bit unstable when it comes to this series, so don't take anything we say personally. Some of us have been here since the inception of the message board (Back on Dragonstone) and have heard what we think are all the theories. Yet, we are still amazed at the new ones.

Welcome one and all.

On to the next........
