"pokes the mic" Testing, one two three.... · 9:52pm Sep 15th, 2013
Wow, this is my first time here; I feel both nervous and excited....not too mention a little bit disappointed.
Like I said in my bio, I've been trying to gather the courage and motivation to come onto this site, being a Pony-fan for forever, but I figured that I'd be content simply reading from it. And THEN I found Twisted Spectrum's ingenious series 'Five Score, Divided by Four'. I suck at math and yet I figured out the equation by the time the first story arc was over (there may have been a bit of a victory dance afterwards), which made me love it even more. It was so addicting that I wanted to be a part of it and so, once I'd created the first chapter of my own side-fic, I marched up to the FIMFic registry to sign up.
Problem is that my main email didn't seem to agree with the verification email and it took me three or four days to finally try something else (after checking everything out on my main homepage and deducing that I hadn't misspelled anything or hit any sort of filter that was blocking it). And so, here I am, ready to have some fun....and I just discover that there's a ban that I'd not known about in all the times I'd stopped by to check on the story - and its associated forum group - for updates. Which literally means that it popped up amidst the time I was having issues with the registry. I know that this probably sounds selfish (not too mention a bit petty and childish), but I feel...cheated, I guess is the right work.
That doesn't mean that I'm leaving, no way. I'm glad to finally be here, it just feels like I've been sucker-punched the minute I stepped through the door, is all. Gotta wonder if Friday the 13th had anything to do with it...
In any case, I'm not gonna let this get to me, maybe find a way to get around the issue. I won't let the discovery mess with the elation I feel of finally joining this wonderful site. See ya soon on the writing board...place ^^;;
