    This was the best title I could come up with.

    I have no idea how to start this thread, introductions aren't my strong suit I'm thinking of hiring a ghost writer to write this for me.

    I normally write fantasy style fiction with your sword and sorcery and explosions complete with the occasional cliche (fire breathing dragon, one ring to rule them all etc.) and lately I've become interested in writing something on spirituality which should be fun.

    So I hope to read some interesting stories by the members here and being a general niusance with my "when's the next chapter going to be ready?"

    Thanks for reading-

    Hi Simon. Welcome to WF.
    Have a cookie, someone's spreading the word that they're poisoned, but they're really not.

    Welcome to WF Simon! I'm never good with introductions either. Most of the time I don't get replies (with a few exceptions).

    And if the cookies ARE poisoned just let me know by keeling over or something. I can bake new ones!

    I'll eat them anyway, probably give me something to write about.
    I normally start off my introductions with an explosion or a battle as they do in the movies but that doesn't seem to work here.

    I dunno, I reckon that would have been a great start. I haven't written an introduction yet - maybe I should ...

    Hi, welcome, go blow something up/fight/eat a poisoned cookie. I look forward to reading your prose...

    Hello there, Simon. It's good to have you aboard...

    Now we're best pals you can help me steal these cookies everyone is going on about!

    Allow me to beta-test them for you.

    EDIT: Drats... my SO has informed me that if I intend going on a diving holiday with her this Christmas, biscuits are off the menu...

    Welcome! I've only been a member on this site for two days, but it's awesome! You're really going to enjoy it here. There's a lot of variety in the writing and unique voices. I'm currently sampling the many genres here, and finding it's quite fun. You'll love it.
