Hello! I've been wanting to join this forum for while now. I'm so glad I finally managed to do it. I'm actually a little nervous. I don't usually put myself out there on the internet, so I'm also a little scared, and I'm a little confused about what I can or can't do on this forum. I'm also a little person. But please, nobody joke about it, I've been handed the short end of the stick too many times because of my height. (That was my terrible attempt at pun about being short)
I think all of you guys are really cool, and I love your fanfics! I cant' write that well... yet. I really enjoy writing, but I get super shy when showing my work to other people, so I feel like I'm a little short on feedback. (That was another short pun)
Bye? Au revoir? I really don't know how to end this. I've hardly ever sent anything online publicly before. (And I feel like there's something wrong with the wording of that sentence. Maybe there isn't anything wrong, but I feel like there is anyway. Did I mention I'm a grammar freak?) DoctorPeggy

Hello DoctorPeggy, Taliya here, and welcome to the forum!
There's no need to be shy here, as we're all pretty open and accepting of everyone and everything. Poirot's a fun place to be, and here we do nothing but encourage each other to become better writers (and perhaps better people in RL as well). Fire off a question, and someone is sure to answer you. Don't be shy about asking for help or clarification. ^.^
Again, welcome!
P.S. - We might be barking, but we don't bite [hard]. ^.~

Thanks! Ohmygosh, I'm actually replying to something on an online forum! (I don't even have a YouTube account. Go figure.) I've read lot of your fanfics, they're really cool! I really hope I'll end up posting some of my writing on this forum at some point, because I think the people here are really cool! (How can you like detective Conan and not be cool?) Schoolwork often gets the better of me though, so I don't know if I'll be able to. But I really want to. I think I might be rambling. I do that a lot. Ha. Also, I'm trying to learn Japanese. (This is me trying to put information about myself out there so I can feel less nervous. If I've done it once, I don't have to worry about being afraid to do it again) I've noticed I write a lot when I'm saying stuff. I talk a lot in real life, too. DoctorPeggy

Hey there! Sorry for the late welcome. Real life has been beating me up lately, so I haven't been able to be around much these past two weeks.
Anyway. Welcome to the forum! We're so pleased to have you. I'm Mikau the moderator. I hope you have fun here. I'm personally a super socially awkward individual, and I've found this place to be very friendly and accepting, so I hope you do as well. If you ever have a question, feel free to ask. No need to be nervous since everyone around here is really nice. Once again, welcome!
P.S.: I couldn't help noticing your profile pic of the boa constrictor digesting the elephant. Do you like The Little Prince? I love that book! I have it in four languages! ^o^

Hello! Here's a super late greeting to you. Quincy here! Hope you're enjoying your stay so far. I'm sorry I can't greet you a bit earlier (I should have but I can never find time to even write something down lately so...) Yoroshiku!*obligatory waving Heiji*

Oh! Hello! I feel like I've done a bajillion things on this forum int he past half an hour (I haven't really, but this is more than I've ever done on the internet before), so I'm going to keep going till I lose my nerve, or lose steam (20% to go). Or till I start getting nervous again. Thanks a lot for taking the time to say hi! I've been stalking *cough* I mean, looking at stuff on this forum a while before joining. And, yes I do like the little prince, although I haven't read much of it yet. I have it in both English and French, but I've promised myself not to read it in English till I've managed to get through the original version, nut I'm a little stuck, 'cause I'm still learning French. Also I'm a language enthusiast, so I'm a fan now that you've told me you have it in four languages. (Oh crap, I'm second guessing my word choice. It's going to go downhill from here. I'll probably hide in my shell till I have to post a another fic here.) Oh, Heiji is probably my favorite character. So yay! Yoroshikuonegaishimasu! DoctorPeggy
