    We've reinstated the staff position of "Mentor" and Jinxi is the first to get suckered promoted.

    Nick has also joined the staff as "Fiction Moderator".

    Welcome to the staff, both.

    Thanks very much all! I'm happy to return to the Tavern (as long as no one's touched the whiskey I left there).

    I take my coffee with two spoons of sugar and 1 1/2 of cream.

    I'm liking the colourful list of the members shown.

    Yes candid, it's looking very bright and spring like. I like purple, good choice.

    Yeah, I love the purple. It's appealing -- comforting, even. Reminds me of flowers and crayons and supernovae.

    Congrats Jinxi and Nick. More pretty colours for me to giggle at . . . hehe, colours.

    So, what is the role of a mentor exactly? I'm curious.

    An experienced and trusted adviser, so it says in the Oxford Dictionary. I'm not sure I qualify, but will do my best. I like the purple name, too, and, please, come not to me for advice on goblins or wizards or vampires or elves; commas, by all means.

    Does the role of mentor involve hanging about in the Introduce Yourself forum and saying 'Hi' to everyone, a bit like a posh receptionist with too white teeth and perfect hair, though who has dreadful breath from the crafty cigarette breaks he/she takes whilst the boss isn't looking, 'cause I'm not sure I'll get the tea stains off my teeth.
