Hello. I have registered on this site with the intention of furthering my own writing skills, and purveying the works of other authors. Before you comment on any of my stories or contact me in any way, let me make some things perfectly clear to all of you. I have not arrived here to view "internet speak" or "emoticons". There are thousands of other places on the web where I could do so if I so intended. I do not, however, and have came here with that in mind. If anyone comments on a piece of writing of mine, I will expect them to use the exact same literary dignity as they would in a story of their own. We are, after all, writers and nothing less.
