Here is where newbies can socialize, get to know each other, and spam to their hearts' content! Remember, this is the ONLY thread in the welcome forum where spamming is allowed! Also, be sure to check out the boards' rules before you start posting! Feel free to PM me with any questions! And I wonder how many more exclamatory sentences I can fit into this post!

Nobody wants to stand up first and grab the wonderful food in front of everybody. I was always among those people who finally stood up first and got to the food. Sooo, where are you from? (I know, of some people I already know, but nevertheless) I'm from Germany, a student and my friends tend to describe me as a little bit nuts. really doesn't know why Which pilot do you prefer the most? (very important question) I'm totally into Wedge.

Oh, you're so brave!! Thanks, Durell. You get a cookie.

I'm Spee, I'm 23, female, and live in the Washington, DC area. I'm a student going for my Phd in political science.

My favorite pilot is Hobbie

Insane Admin Group: High Command Posts: 6,442 Member No.: 4 Joined: 28-February 05	Don't I get a cookie? My fav is probably Wedge, although Wes is awfully fun to write. And I'm becoming very interested in writing Pash more... he's underused.

Commodore Group: Managers Posts: 5,120 Member No.: 86 Joined: 12-July 05	hmm, Hobbie. mumbles because she eats the cookie, is happy that it is a choclate-cookie I must admit, for a writer, he is a very challenging character and I like challenging characters. PHD? Is that a master or something? I study History, English and German-linguistics. (I can talk endlessly about language, although nobody is willling to listen.)

overwhelmed and dangerous Group: VIPs Posts: 4,441 Member No.: 8 Joined: 1-March 05	Nope, Myri. No cookie for you... In the US, here's how it goes. After high school you can go to college. A four-year degree is a Bachelors. Then you move on to grad school, where you can get a Masters (usually 2 years of study) or/and a Phd/doctorate (3-5 years study). When you get your doctorate, you can call yourself Doctor So-and-So. So, I am studying to become Dr. Spee! Ooo, history, German and English? Sounds like quite a challenge. I'm not very language-oriented, unfortunately. I can sort of speak Spanish.

Commodore Group: Managers Posts: 5,120 Member No.: 86 Joined: 12-July 05	yeah, Pash, Pash is wonderful. I wrote a story when I was 15, where I invented a little brother for Pash. And Wedge, well we certainly agree on this point. Doctor Spee? Huh, I'm impressed. And I'm thinking about learning Spanish at the Univeristy. But I will certainly learn norwegian. (I need that for History)

Jesina Dreis, CPA snrk My favorite pilot... um, don't have one... Wedge, Tycho, Wes, Hobbie, Pash are all pretty much equal in my book. And, actually, Elscol fascinates me a lot...

As for me, I'm going to have to say Wes. In the fast moving, serious universe of Star Wars, Wes proves that every day can be just like an episode of MAS*H. That, and he's simply a load of fun to write about.

King of Rick Rolls Group: Members Posts: 3,677 Member No.: 90 Joined: 14-July 05	I always thought that would make for an amusing crossover fic. I just can't see Wedge as Colonel Potter though... The thought of Wedge saying something like "Horse Hockey" makes me laugh hysterically. This post has been edited by LaneWinree on Jul 15 2005, 08:39 PM
