Well... I seem to have arrived with nothing bad happening thus far. It's early yet, I'll give it some time... *grins*Well, let's see.. something about myself... I've been a fan of Eyrie since my first faltering steps onto the net back in 1996. I can't remember what brought me to Undocumented Features initially, but whatever it was, I read a little bit, felt (pun intended, and I will hide after the post) hopelessly lost, and then moved to France, where my net access was somewhat restricted. However, on the few jaunts that I DID make, I discovered NXE.
And lost sleep.
I then REdsicovered UF.
And lost more sleep.
And it was good.
Eyrie has pretty much been my main point of fanfiction consumption for the last six years, and I have yet to be dissatisfied with ANYTHING produced. I'd be lying if I said that I thought it was ALL outstanding, but that merely comes from my inherent nit-picky sense. Pay it no mind, or feel free to correct me as necessary. I enjoy a good argument.
I've met Megazone twice, although I seriously doubt he remembers me. Both times at Anime Expo (99 and 01), and the second time I might have annoyed him a bit too far with requests for photos (which didn't come out, more's the bloody pity). Both times I was struck with how... tall he really was. Reading about it doesn't do the man justice. *grins nervously*
Lessee, what else? I'm a United States Marine, a fact that I hope won't upset anyone on here. If it does, well... why let it come between people with a common interest in good reading?
I listen to a broad variety of musics; my collection has been increasing exponentially since I started reading Symphony of the Sword. As if I needed anything ELSE to sink my limited fundage into. *grins*
I read voraciously, as evidenced by my continuing return to eyrie.net on a daily basis. Mostly sci-fi and fantasy, although historical fiction and, more recently, the alternate history stylings of Harry Turtledove have been known to captivate me for weeks at a time.
My mind flutters a bit... if any of my posts take on a rambling and disjointed form, it's not intentional, I assure you... merely me being me. Hope you'll bear with me, and I sincerely hope that I'll be able to contribute something worthwhile here!
Semper Fidelis,
Charon
