Simply put, this forum is a place where I will be putting copies of my stories online. If you wish to read them, however, you must become a "Reader" as opposed to a mere "Member". :lol:

To become a Reader, I must get to know you a little bit. Just because I'm irreversibly paranoid about my precious works (and I mean works) being stolen. Still, since I write them for a release from the stress of life and to make people both smile and think, I shouldn't hide the stories from all public view!

The paranoia insists that I at least have some vague knowledge of who is reading my precious works, however. Joining the forum as a member is a great step in the right direction!

One can always join the forum and stay a mere Member--though I don't see the point in it myself. But this can be a good place to meet other writers and glean from the experience of that. Most members, I expect, will probably just be here waiting to become Readers. Oo...
