Greetings from Scotland.

New girl here. I'm advised that this is where I say hello.

So, hello! Be gently with me while I get used to it.

Welcome. Great name.

Hi Helen

I'm in NoCal and pleased to connect

Hey Oral, another from NorCal here.

 

[filthytrancendence]

Welcome to the mad house. A few of us bite, but not that hard. You get used to it.

Welcome. Greetings from the USA.

I spent some of my honeymoon in your fair country as well, some time ago. I thoroughly enjoyed it, although I was occasionally nonplussed by the locals' evident effort to convince me that English was a foreign language.

 

[THBGato]

Welcome. Listen to Penny, she gave great advice.

One of my favorite bands. I particularly like their songs Shouting At Clouds, Kids These Days, and My New Porsche.

 

[LilyBright]

Welcome, new here myself!

 

[Helen_Highwater]

Greetings and salutations.

I'm sure I'm not the only one curious as to what brought you here; I'm assuming you're writing your own stories?

This is definitely the place to hangout and ask questions, and nevermind certain types who might get annoyed you ask the same questions everyone else does lol.

we're here to help if we can.

I write stories, yes. Some of them for my own purposes. Personal porn as it were. I also write straight stories for general consumption. But I thought there might be interest in some of the naughtier ones. We shall see.

 

[BobbyBrandt]

Welcome. You'll find a lot of friendly advice here, so don't hesitate to ask for anything. We were all new here at one time.

Hi from the deep south..
Er well, the Cotswolds...
Although I know Glasgow and Edinburgh very well...
looking forward to reading something from you !

Helen,

Hi from the American Southeast. I've been to Ireland but haven't made it into the UK yet. It's on our "to do soon" list.

Some good advice has already been shared but use the forum search function if you have specific questions; you can find a lot more answers and advice. When that doesn't work, ask here on the AH board and someone will likely be able to help.

Good luck with your stories,

SC

Got a lot of messages to reply to, but since this afternoon I've been saddened and numbed by the death of Brian Wilson. A huge loss.

Lots of those messages are lovely but I think I should nip one thing in the bud quickly. I'm here to read and write and hopefully make friends, but I am spoken for and I'm not looking elsewhere for a sexual relationship of any kind!

 

[Helen_Highwater]

Welcome. Listen to Penny, she gave great advice.

You too are spoken well of!

Yep. That's Lit for ya.

It's really discouraging. We're generally okay in here, I hope.

Hello from the US! Welcome to the strangest place on the internet.

I love scotch! Just poured myself two fingers of Glenmorangie Quinta Ruben. Hard day at work. lol

Yeah, bit of advice if you write any monster stories, if someone messages you to talk about your story and also mentions that they're cuddling with their dog while doing so. Your story is not what they wanna talk about, do not respond.

Welcome!

(Frantically skimming emergency manual for what to do in the event of the coming of Helen Highwater...)

Carry on!

 

[Helen_Highwater]

Well, if you get too forward in your messages you'll get to feel the full icy blast of Helen's scorn!

But that should be easy enough to avoid, shouldn't it?

 

[Actingup]

Welcome!

I'm humiliated to admit I only... just... NOW made the connection about how clever the username is.

Nicely done, Helen. Full marks.

Greetings!
Use the search box in Authors Hangout for ANYTHING. Editing, use of quotations, handling hate mail, writing styles, writers block or bouncing an idea off the collective wisdom here. I get a Spay Side and have that while perusing topics in AH.

It's a fun group.

Okay, I know I changed your greeting, but that seems more appropriate for Lit don't you think? Any way hello and welcome to the Monkey house.
