Question /Sigh- Introduction

Soo ...

Since Kristen posted somewhere she'd like people to de-lurk and introduce themselves, she even posted a questionnaire somewhere ...

Oh, here it is!

Let us know how long you've been following the WA Universe, what your favorite stories are, which characters you want to see more of, and how you came to be a WA fan.

Sooo, I was working my way through the nearly three hundred stories Morpheus has written and posted to other sites, when I noticed that the newest two stories he'd posted where a) very good, b) stories I quite liked and c) had this weird disclaimer on them proclaiming them "Fan Fiction" of Whateley Universe stories. Intrigued I did a Google search and found the Crystal Hall site and started reading, this would have been about around the middle of 2014.

You can also blame Morpheus for me starting to write, I've written (all obviously unpublished) outlines for stories in his Changling Chronicles world (including how I imagine the physics of Elves and Elven Magic works), a rather long sequal to his Demons and Angels story, four nearly book length stories set in my own world after the first two chapters of his Val Kyre sparked my imagination, and then finally I started writing 'Micro-Scenes' for Whateley, all covering 'unwritten' parts of the storyline, like the Noodle Incident, Radio Active Condor Girl, and then the 'Hank's Grief' ones that Elrod was so great in inviting me and working with me to turn into a proper Canon Story (thank's for that Elrod, and you know 80% of the words people read were yours, even if I did write most of the first attemp, it's your words that raised it to a level fit for cannon, so thank you.)

Meh, I believe that's enough backstory about how I got here, enjoy the site people, join me in saying nice things to Kirstin, Warren and the other Admins, Authors and moderators making such a nice place for us.

Thank you Canon Cabel and your assistant Elves of the Internet for entertaining us and letting us hang around in your sandbox and play

Well, I assumed they where yours and doing something meaningful down there, if your saying they are not I'll have to get a little more forceful about thier inappropriate touching.

Nice to be able to post here and say hi to you, Phoenix. And you give yourself too little credit, even before it was made into a full canon story your micro-scenes with Hank had me tearing up. You and Elrod both did a great job and I for one would love to see such a collaboration again in the future. You write Hank excellently and if anyone was brought on as his official author, it would have to be you.
