Am wandering around the site and repeatedly pressing the back arrow every time I get lost (not a big problem tho - I quite like being lost). Just wanted to say hello and that I'm stupidly excited about being here (am not cool, don't care).

So get stuck in. You'll see that the more you put in, the more you get out. You'll learn a lot here.

Welcome to the Colony!
Thank you. I’ve just finished a middle grade fantasy book that is a reworking of an old, classic tale. Have farmed it out to some 8-10 year olds to give it a trial run while I work on the sequel.Welcome aboard @Vagabond Heart
I’m always telling people to read it, but my friends - who tend towards reading the same authors that they feel comfortable with - fondly ignore me. Also, could never get my book group to consider Pratchett. Must be me.I noticed you like The Great Gatsby ... I only re-read it last week. It's just out-of-this-world good
Thank you

Pratchett is amazing! I haven't read nearly as many as I should, but my reading is trying to keep up with what's current.
Hello, @Vagabond Heart – hope you're finding your way around and beginning to feel at home. Yes, Pratchett is definitely a favourite. As it Gaiman – and so many others. There are lots of fantasy writers on Litopia. I'm sure you'll find lots of like-minded souls here. Welcome!
