Wow. An online love that succeeded. Wonderful romance.

Originally from PA-Dutch country - (hence the profile flag), but I'm all over the place.

I'm on Active Duty for now, but I'm a Guardsman. And I've been FReeping for some time before deciding on a name - it just fits.

But, I'd rather jump in with the Hobbit Hole. I like writing, and have done a lot of short stories. I'm told I write in a "Tolkienesque" style - which i take as high praise!

A writer and a soldier! Well this is a special occasion! We should break out a bottle of the old wineyards, I think we have a few bottles left!

Many here fancy themselves as writers, Jen and Rosie and a few others are writing in a NaNoWammy thing maybe they'll tell you about... It has something to do with writing a bunch of crap. Every year they spend the month of November doing that. ;~D

You like writing! Cool. A new victim - er, member, of my special bug-list. Every November I convince as many of my fellow hobbit hole dwellers as are stupid enough to take me up on it, to participate in National Novel Writing Month - nanowrimo.org - and write a 50,000 word story in a month. Some of us are in the middle of that right now.

What sort of stories do you write? Fantasy?

Good Evening All and a Good Evening to you, sir. Plenty of room here. Come as often as you like and stay as long as you are able.

That is a 'vey' cool graphic on your home page.

I've taken the liberty of pinging the other low-lander.
