Welcome to the forum, nice to have you here. Some of us like reading fanfic very much, just have a look at the threads. Hope to read one of yours sometime. 

Welcome to the forum! Creative minds are always well received around here 

Hi, warm welcome also from me, and good luck for your project regarding John! 

Oh, another writer. Welcome!

My heart, or at least the stainless steel valves that pass for it (metaphor) (I think) is warmed by your welcome.
My Trekkie nature was pinned to the original series; I gave it all I had, in longhand, and then I think I had children (checks Wikipedia); yes, I did (2 by the time Next Gen came out). So although I am literate in modern Trek, I'm not fluent. (But I know that was silly about D/data, Davina, and it  made me laugh.) And I haven't seen the new movie, although I am not opposed to it and I will probably be enticed into seeing it before I see the new one when it comes out which I will need to see because of BC.

Meanwhile I am looking forward to The Hobbit. Part of me thinks MF is too old and Bilbo should be roughly the same age as Frodo was, and part of me just likes MF so much I will try anything. And even if Peter Jackson was at times uncanonical in LotR, I can forgive a lot for the beauty of the movies. And poor Gollum. Only I am really not sure about the dwarves. Balin in my head is not funny-looking.

I am nerdishly excited at the idea of any motion-captured dragon and the identity of the actor of Smaug just makes me more so.

So you already know I can be pedantic and stubborn, but I try to behave in public.

I am Rhyolight in Archive of Our Own and Rhyolight04 in Fanfiction.net. I hadn't written any fic in years but ABC's Castle revived my inner fangirl. I thought i was going to get away free of Sherlockian plot bunnies but I am so delighted some of them have come to nibble my feet. I can't tell you what a wonderful world of canon and resources the internet is (obviously, you know) but it's still AMAZING t be able to find out what sort of pubs are easy walking distance from New Scotland Yard (though this information would not be of much use to me if I were still writing Star Trek), to be able to draw on the work of other people who have done the transcripts and so on. Although the generosity of fandom is not surprising at all it's still delightful.  The Sherlock fandom seems to me to be particularly charming and intelligent (no, really). So thank you, and I am looking forward to spending time here, because you have all been so nice.

I live outside of Concord, in Henniker, and I would love to get together with some Sherlock fans some time. I have friends who watch it but the fan thing seems rarer here than in Greater Boston, where I used to live.

Now I am going to go eat, and feel warmed, again, by your kindness.

Welcome from all the time ( ) sunny Brazil! You believe I've never watched Star Trek and The Lord of the Rings! But now I have a few reasons... Providing...

At least I think it will be. I'm an American woman who spent a few years in England in the late 1970's, and before that I wrote Str Trek and other fanfiction and my goodness things are better now that there's the internet. Not that I can get anything done in the real world, but it is wonderful to have fandom wherever one lives.

I just started wrting Sherlock fanfic and now I need data, so thank you all for being here.

I live in New Hampshire, too. Welcome! And good luck with your writing.

Hello and welcome, Rhyolight!

I'm a trekker since the early days of the original series. I also like Next Generation, but didn't care much for Deep Space 9 or Voyager. I'm looking forward to seeing BC in the newest ST movie when it comes out next May. Also looking forward to seeing MF in Hobbitt.

Just a side note...I have cousins living in Epping and Henniker. 

Hallo! With a forum like this, it is definitely harder to get things done and to stay focused.
