Hello!

After 3 weeks of lurking around this place I decided to sign up.

"Chet Flash wuz here" on Neoboards got me here. At first I just read the origin on Chet Flash (yup, all those 317 messages) to get an idea what is Chet Flash and what I should take into account when writing an entry for NT (the very first one, yahoo!). Gradually I started to peek into other threads as well. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Anyway, from a long pause I'm trying to get back into writing as in a regular activity. And from a very long pause I'm back in Neopets with a new account. I guess with ages interests change, so I'm not so much interested in games as before. Now I hang around Neopian Writers on Neoboards, Neopian Times, Storytelling Contest and guild.
I write in English only about Neopian stuff. Usually those are short stories.
From what I've seen here, I assume that I'd be interested in reading other people stories and reviewing them (although not in grammatical aspect).

P.S. My apologies for such a long message. It's great to write without character limit. :3

Hello! =D We love lengthy messages around here, no need to apologize. Welcome to the forum, it's great to have you around! I look forward to getting to know you as part of the community. Feel free to ask any questions you have, or just jump in and have fun with us. ^_^

Lengthy messages are great! We're glad to have you, welcome to the NTWF~ (And as for reading back on the entire Chet Flash thread, wow. That is some most excellent dedication and I am mad impressed).

We're friendly people--free free to post around!

Writing is a great regular activity (and it has proven to be a good sanity break for *gestures to the entire world right now*(. Neopets writing is a great creative outlet and a lot of us here love it as well.

Welcome aboard! I see you have a Storytelling trophy, so I adjusted your lookup accordingly. Feel free to chat away, that's what we're all about.

Yup, it sure is. It's, I would say, the best way to sort your thoughts, understand emotions and relax. Even if it happens through characters. Also violence is wrong. So write it all down and no one gets hurt. ;)

Although, sometimes I think - what if I suddenly die without destroying all the written things that no one should ever see... O_o

Neopets are a refreshing topic to write about. A little step back from difficult themes about everyday worries and problems. It's even a small challenge to write in such a way that the story is suitable for any audience, both in terms of plot and characters. I'm pretty lazy about creating new characters, so I really appreciate that there are already so many characters and stories about them. All this inspires and creates good ground for new stories.

Hi Rasaiu! Welcome to the NTWF. ^^ Glad you decided to come out of lurking. We're not as active as we used to be, but we're still a friendly bunch with a good community, so don't be afraid to post and ask questions if you like. There's certainly plenty of encouragement to be found with your writings here for sure.

hey! welcome to the ntwf!

Hello there, glad to have you! :3 I hope you enjoy your time here, and if you have any questions about the forum, feel free to ask here!

Haha I'm similar in that my main interest in Neopets these days is the NT, maybe a couple other creative contests. Even moreso now that there are only a handful of games you can play on the site right now, it doesn't feel like there's much else to do anyway.

I look forward to reading your stories! :3

Hi, welcome to the NTWF! Great to have you here (and you're welcome, I had that Storytelling starter idea in the back of my mind since last week so I'm glad it got in this time around), and please, feel free to post around and talk and discuss, that's what this forum is for.

I also found my way back to Neopets - and the NT, and the competitions - last year and fell in love all over again with all of the above. They're the biggest reason I've decided to stay after leaving for a long time.
