This was a message I sent to Reaper; the first person to welcome me on this site. I decided to keep the message, as it's meant for everyone who reads it as well. View table of contents...

You know Reaper, I think I really need to thank you. From your end of the world, it may only seem a hello, but from mine, that simple hello actually made me look at this community. And to be honest? I'm in love. All of you folks seem so... Real. I find that often, many writers come off as completely fake to me, just replications of others, trying to find fame and fortune. Here, I feel like people are searching for something deeper, like I have always been. What is it some ask? I think it's all right here. Just, something real. I suppose it's odd really, to think the whole of society is just an illusion, but most times, that's just how I see it. This, right here, all these writings, folks talking to eachother with such understanding and connection, this is reality. I'm really glad to have come upon this place in it's random twist of fate, and I'm really glad you were the first person to welcome me in this newfound utopia. Thank you.

Thank you dearly for the warm welcome. I honestly look forward to sticking around here, and continuing to delve into the stories and tales so many have to offer. It's also nice to learn a bit about the person controlling the hands that type such wonderful creations. Though, we don't seem to have a white picket fence.

“Mr. Sandman bring me dream… make him the cutest that I’ve ever seen…” Sorry! I love that song! :P Welcome Sandman! And thank you for all of your wonderful comments thus far. As you have guessed Reaper has a special place in all our hearts, especially mine! I’m so glad you’ve joined us – we are like one big family… laughing, crying, sharing, encouraging – all the elements a good family should have! I can’t wait to read your writings! Until then Adieu!

I bring dreams to all the good little boys and girls. Most of the adults too, though it seems these days the older we get, the less we dream. A sad thing really. Thank you for the welcome, and the comments on your work are well deserved. This is a wonderful family. I've already begun sharing in many emotions with all of you, and it's a wonderful feeling indeed. Yes, until then, Bonne Nuit.

Haha! I replied to this in the wrong way. Suppose I'm still a bit tired. The one right below this is meant for you. Excuse me while I give myself a nice wake-up smack across the face! Ha!

You can say anything! Perhaps mention your thoughts on the world? Possibly muse of the workings of the universe? Maybe- Wait... You meant in reference to this. Ah yes, no, not too much else. Thank you much for the warm welcome, I'm glad to be here. Looking forward to seeing more of your work Alek92, you're doing well from what I've seen.
