Meeting places

[Nikolai the Lynx]

Nikolai is an average 26 year old, he has a few good friends and nice family. He has a Facebook account and is a member on a few forums. Nikolai enjoys writing and has an account on DeviantART.


Nikolai was checking his DeviantWATCH messages like he did everyday, making sure he was up to date on his favourite artist's and writer's latest uploads.


Over the past three weeks Nikolai had been regularly noting one of his favourite artists. Nikolai had been commenting on her uploads for months, as he really admired her style.


Nikolai found himself reading through her latest message a few times, checking he hadn't missed anything before he clicked reply. He paused for a moment thinking to himself, going over what he was going to write.


The Lynx let out a sigh and began typing out his reply, while going over it in his head.


"I really love your art and we seem to have a lot in common. I think we get along quite well and I consider you a friend. I was wondering if you would like to meet up a sometime?" Nikolai's mouse hovered over the 'send' button, "Ah what the heck." He mumbled to himself as he slammed his finger down on the mouse button. "It is done now."

Nikolai almost fell off his chair when he read the reply. He took a few minutes to analyse the message, and smiled to himself.

The Lynx thought for a moment and began typing out his slightly excited reply. "I can't believe you agreed to it. I am so happy you want to. When would we be looking at planning this?" Nikolai was smiling wildly when he sent it, and for the rest of the day he was in a state of child like giddiness.
