Hello all, I'm another new guy
« on: May 27, 2010, 07:47:34 PM »
Why, hello there! I always find this point awkward, the point I decide to join a forum and start posting there. What if I say something wrong? What if this post is in the wrong place? It's a strange paranoia, of causing minor annoyance to a group of anonymous people. I suppose I subconsciously yearn for acceptance from everywhich place. But I'm rambling. Oh yes, that's another thing I do, I ramble.

So, I suppose this is indeed a standard introduction fare, and what a time I picked to sign up! Night before my Physics GCSE! Anyway, again with the rambling. SO! I'm a Doctor Who fan, as I am a fan of many other things, but being a Doctor Who fan, I stumbled onto the Virtual Season 4 scripts. A friend suggested I write a fan Doctor Who series for him to act and film, and I told him the idea was ridiculous and he shouldn't suggest it again, because he doesn't even have a camera. Or any money. Or acting skills.

But that ridiculous suggestion did inspire me to make a few googles to see what crazy things like that people had done, and I found this place, read through the VS4 scripts and liked them greatly. I then came here, to sign up, to see what else is created here and read more entertaining scripts. Obviously, I enjoy writing too, but haven't really created much of my ideas. The odd chapter and unfinished fanfic. The closest I've got to a coherent storyline is in music.

But yes, I'm rambling. Also, my number filled User Name is cause I chose that persona over the internet when I was 12, and it was my school email. Yeah. I'm called Jackson, though. It's an easier name. Did I mention I have a GCSE tomorrow? I should probably stop now and actually prepare.

I hope to stay well, and enjoy my time here. I'm sure over the half term, I'll read lots of scripts here, and get acquainted with the forums. A-Bye!

And good look on the GCSE tomorrow!

...Good lord it was eight years ago I took my Physics GCSE paper. *faints*

Welcome to the forums, Jackson :) Plenty more amazing shows for you to read, including the Doctor Who serials posted here.

And Matt lies, I'm a puppy.

 :welcome:, mate!

Feel free to dive right in! (but, y'know, after your exam, naturally!)

So yeah, get stuck in, post all over the place, read some of the fantastic scripts we have to offer (as a recommendation, I suggest anything by Adam Scott) and generally have fun!

Plus, we have a rabid Who fanbase on here, which I'm one of the main members of, so join in the debates in the specific threads...

Oh, and don't worry about rambling. You haven't seen or heard some of us when we get started. And yes, I do speak for myself...

Welcome aboard Jackson, try not to make eye contact and if someone charges you just play dead and say a little prayer. on a personal note, as executive producer on VS4 I'm happy you enjoyed it and may nudge you here where there's a pilot to a new Who project I've got going *looks around* what? I can plug! Good luck with the GCSE tomorrow, God knows I hated those bloody things.

Oh, awesome. I'm totally reading this instead of revising.

And it doesn't have Matt Smith! Great news! God knows I hate him.

You shouldn't be. Just be thankful we stopped the old practice of welcoming new members by breaking out the mushrooms, strapping on the goatskull headgear, sacrificing a few infants and dancing naked.

We don't do that any more? Bugger. Anyone want to help me take some things back to a maternity ward? Then I'm going to need my stomach pumped and someone's going to have to do something about these griffins flying around my room.

Such as the Causcasian Shepherd Dog?



Awww!!! Isn't it adorable?

Let's have a look at a couple of pictures where a fully grown adult is growling, ready to attack.
