Another Newbie

[DavidBCoe]

Hi all,

 

My name is David B. Coe and I'm a fantasy author.  I've written nine fantasies to date (all for Tor Books), comprising the LonTobyn Chronicle, Winds of the Forelands, and my newest series, Blood of the Southlands.  I was invited here by "SamVimes" and I expect that I'll be spending most of my time at the Illuminators Org board. 

 

I'm very glad to be here, and I look forward to getting to know the Dragonmount Community.

 

Best,

 

David

Welcome to Dragonmount Dave, I've been looking forward to your visit. If you have any questions about the workings of this forum, don't hesitate to send me a private message or post your questions here.

[DavidBCoe]

Thanks, Barmacral!  I'll do that.

[Barmacral]

One question, you prefer David over Dave?

[DavidBCoe]

Thanks for asking.  Yes, I actually do prefer David.  Always have, though I can't explain why.  Just one of those things.  Not a big deal, but again, I appreciate the question.

[Barmacral]

Good to know, I thought I'd ask, just to play it safe. I'm cool like that. In fact I'm awesome like that, a bard would deafen an audience by merely speaking my name, I'm so amazing. But everyone knows that.

[Alys Kinch]

wow, hear the ego talk.

 

welcome to our site.

[Barmacral]

*Crushes Alys between his thumb and fore finger*

 

As agreed. No smiting.

[Alys Kinch]

wow, that was nice of you, barm. thanks for the considerations.

[DavidBCoe]

Hi Alys,

 

Thanks for the welcome.  I actually laughed aloud at Barmacral's last post, but it sounds like I shouldn't encourage him, eh?..... ;)

[Alys Kinch]

*laughs* we like to provoke him to make funnies for us. after all, he is our first line of defense.

 

you are welcome. feel free to come be creative in your spare time as well. we love to have fun around here. errr... not that i should mention the games and such. because you aren't supposed to be doing those. ever.

 

ps feel free to make slimacral's name more fun. i think we have a list of hundreds of mutations. :P just don't call him becky.

Welcome to DM!

 

I hope you have both a fruitful and enjoyable visit to the boards. :)

[Rufae]

Wow, I should check these boards more often....  :-[

 

Welcome David!

[DavidBCoe]

Thanks, Ata!

[DavidBCoe]

Thanks as well to Corki and Sam.  Sam, I'll look forward to seeing you at Illuminators Org!

[Eqwina]

As always I am a little late! Welcome! I am sorry I missed your grand entrance. If you have any questions that Barmacral can't answer (and I am sure there are a few ;) ) Let me know.

 

*curses the typos*

[DavidBCoe]

Thanks, Eqwina!  Good to be here.

[Cadsuane]

Psh. The only thing terribly impressive about Barm is his signature. And I made that, so really... *awaits transferrence of impressiveness to herself*  ;) ;D

 

Welcome David! I look forward to reading your interview thread. Not being a writer of any sort (I'm not sure that the occasional "off the cuff" limerick counts as writing), I probably won't post questions, but it's always interesting to hear from one of the people whose efforts tempt me to the point of double-stacked bookshelves.  :D

[DavidBCoe]

Thanks for the kind words, Cadsuane.  I hope you find the thread interesting.

[Dwynwen]

Welcome to DM, David!  Please feel free to send a PM if you have any questions about how things work around here.  We're very excited to have you with us!

[DavidBCoe]

Thank you, Dwynwen.  I'm excited to be here.  It seems like a very friendly, welcoming community.

*Notices some one new*

 

HIYA! And welcome,

 

*trys to stop,drop,and roll to get crickets off of him, fails and runs away screaming*

[DavidBCoe]

Um....Hi, Asrid....  So I need to watch for killer crickets.  Helpful safety tip.  Thanks!

[Raeyn]

I think that he's just trying to give fair warning that pretty much everyone here *is* insane... but it's usually in good fun ;)
