Title: Hello! :)
Post by: Howellfan on April 29, 2010, 11:05:36 PM

Just joined and wanted to say hi. :) I'm 29( wonders if that makes him a bit of an old timer around here. :P ), real name's Joel. I'd actually consider myself more 'furrish' than furry - don't have a fursonna or anything, but on the other hand I've found I've always tended to like stories( David Brinn's 'Uplift' series, Dean Koontz's 'Watcher's', etc. ) with 'anthro' themes more often than other stories. Also dabbled with a couple stories, which I'll be posting. ( *Looks at smiley icons* Um, there was something in news about being able to change smiley themes, right? Right? :P )

So, how's everyone doing? :)

Welcome.

You can change the species of your smileys by going to Profile in the menu bar at the top of the site, then going to Look and Layout Prefences in the menu on the left, then change the smiley set. There are cats, wolves, foxes (which are the default), and dragons.

Thanks for the welcome( and the help, admin. :) )

HIm good, thanks. Except, could somebody help me figure out how to stop my post in the writing section from being automatically merged? Wouldn't be a big problem except that it once it reaches 2,000 character's I'm basically locked out! 8O Help!

Plan to be around - posting what little I've written, if nothing else. :P Glad to meet y'all. :)

You mean while posting multiple writings in the same thread?

Yes - I did a test post( just 'test, test', and it still merged, so how do I post, say, four chapters at once? Help much appreciated. *meep* :)

Well posts are set to automatically merge to prevent double posting. Post as much as you can in one post... If necessary, you can make a separate thread for the rest, and ask me to merge the threads together when you're done.

ShadoBrand Candy (1x Original)
Candy made by Mina herself using XS level magic, intermingles darkness and light mana, and compressing it, all in a in a spiffy box. This candy has been the downfall of many a warrior, and long time human users are prone to candy cancer. Only truly strong warriors (Lazguz or otherwise) can eat this candy without ill effects. Comes in 5 diffrent flavors, but  is always inhumanly sweet.
