lol *Hugs*  I like you arleady - ok, i'll try to get you going here - i'm already impressed by your posts.  We've recently started something called a mentoring program to bring new people into the fold, answer questions, make sure they are a good fit, and part of it is starting a small introductory thread so that we can get a good idea of your general maturity, writing style, etc - and i wanted to get you started here... if you'd like, we could post the scene that of Mr Collins and Miss Lizzie that you outlined in your intro, or, if you prefer something else, that would be fine as well - it's your choice and whatever you feel comfy with is fine.<br/><br/>It will just be a short scene, perhaps 2 or 3 posts each, to get a feel for your writing.  Let me know what you'd like to do and i'll start a thread for you and send you the link as soon as it is ready.  I think, technically, this is just supposed to be for our post, but i tend to do things the way i do them, and everyone else can just deal with it *laughs*
