Don't you ever feel the need to know a bit about the person you see hanging around the forum, whether it be bypassing or chatting? Well, here's the introduction thread.

I'm Ana, 13, live in London. I'm a forgetful, music loving, have waaay too much time on my hands girl 8D

FIRST POST!! :)

I'm Sao, or Cass, or Wave, whatever you like, and I'm seventeen, too nice for my own good, and completely music obsessed. Particularly at this moment with AFI and Blaqk Audio, but I have an intense love for Skillet that will never die, as well as a current love of Three Days Grace. Oh, and I talk about rowing a lot because I love rowing and it's my life. XD

...Yeah. I'm getting towards the end of my school year, because I'm the Australian Private Schoolgirl. I keep wacky hours and spell things differently. ;) I can sometimes be a little out there, and sometimes I come across like I'm missing half my brain, but I'm smarter than I sound. I love making friends, and it'll be great to see you all, returning FP members and new people, if we ever get any. :)

Welcome to the Fireplace Alliance. :)

Hey,

I'm Felinae Silvestris, known also as Eminems, Emi, Em, Crazyvet and various variations there-in. I'm a Cats fan and vet student, with a love for twisting my favourite characters and no qualms talking about blood, faeces or removing testicles. ;) I'm Scottish, and drink way too much, although I've stopped smoking ^_^. Former FP member of about six to eight months, lurked for a while before then. Any former FP member can contact me by PM, email or homing pigeon.

That's all I've got to say at the moment, but if there's more later, I will add it. *waves* Hi all.

I'm SkyeGavin.

I live in the middle of nowhere in Australia.

I'm Mini, a 20-year-old manga buff from India.

Sporking badfics is one of my passions; I indulged in quite a lot of sporking at the FP and I hope to continue it here. :D

Hello I'm The Shadow Syndicate. Former FP poster for about two years now. I'm a nice enough guy that enjoys reading, writing and video games. I have a proud Irish-American ancestry. At least I think it's proud? I pretty much revolve around the computer, electronics and sometimes nature 24/7. My ideas for fanfiction border on the absurd and harmless insanity. I am a Roman Catholic and try to do right.

I freaking love the 60's music. Give me Beetles or Beach Boysad I will crank up that stereo.

Hi everyone.

Hi, I'm Yasona Black. I'm a nineteen-year-old New Yorker in my junior year of college. I also have two part-time jobs so my computer time is extremely random. I love The Dresden Dolls (punk cabaret), have a weakness for Hot Topic clothes and angst/hurt/comfort fanfiction. I love writing and hope to get involved in the world of editing. Or somehow receive enough money to do the job called "writing for a living".

Hi y'all!

HAI EVERYONE! *falls upon forum regulars with shrieks of joy* Well, you all probably know me, I'm Gema and I'm thirteen and I'm from Chicago. I think I was the only one who actaully cried when I learned that the FP was closing up shop, but I could be wrong. I have a ridiculous amount of fannons, all of which I track and follow obsessively. Bye! *waves*

I'm still avatarjk137, I'm still Floridian, I'm now 18 and a college freshman, I'm majoring in English in hopes of becoming a published fiction author down the road, I'm a guy, and I am bigheaded in the most literal sense of the way.

Speaker here! I am Donuts! Nitwit! Jedi! V!h rather random sometimes...

Kill All Jonas Brother Fanfics!

My name is PandemoniumAngel, and I was new around the FP before it closed. I tried my hand at sporking a little, but mostly I laugh at other people's sporkings. I hope to be a political cartoonist once I've graduated from college.

I am Casa. I am pwnsome. XD

Nothing really interesting to report, I am seventeen and obssessed with Twilight, South Park, the Clique and Avatar. I am major history geek so if anyone needs to know anything about European history, especially if it has to do with WWII, I am the person to talk to.

Oh yeah, I'd like to be a mod too. *nods*

My name is Faith. *waves* Mostly everyone knows me, I think.

Can I be a mod?

Howdy! I'm Lavender Cat, or Lavender or LC. Whatever floats your respective boat. I'm gonna miss the old Fireplace dearly, but at least we have this new forum so I can still chat with all of those super people I came across, along with any newbies that come along! It's going to take work, but I know the Fireplace Alliance will be just as great as the original ^-^.

A little about myself: I'm a seventeen-year-old psychopath, a slash hound, a sucker for baby animals, a lover of the cliched "happy ending", and a random singer of songs and reciter of movie dialouge.

My name is RumQueen; you may call me that, RQ, Rum, Queenie, Megan ... anything that's obvious. I also have another account, iSparrow, that you might see me on every so often when I'm too lazy to log into this one.

I'm pretty bad with introductions. I don't know what's important and what isn't. I guess I'll just say what matters.

Writing is not my anti-drug; it's just something that I do. I still have yet to figure out why, but I'm getting there. My fanfiction works focus mainly on Pirates of the Caribbean, Harry Potter, and Yu-Gi-Oh. Odd combination. I know.

I'm open to random conversations and ranting. And PMs. If you liked something that I said on a forum, if you think I'm an idiot, if you saw a funny commercial on TV that you want to share with someone, feel free to talk to me.

I am presently grieving tremendously over the loss of my former residence, the Fireplace. I'm still in denial, actually. So if I start talking about that lovely forum in present-tense instead of past-, or something along those lines, just remind me gently about how F/R pretty much unintentionally broke my heart, and I will be fine. Albeit sobbing ridiculously for the next ten minutes until I find some fanfiction smut to distract me.

Ciao. (x

Hi, this is Terri. Still in shock over the shutting down of the F/P. I come from Singapore, and am thus usually only around when few people are here. Well, during school days, that is. I'm more of a reader than a writer, but I do have high standards when it comes to written works.

I take Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, and Economics, of which I only like one subject, which is Biology. But if anyone does need help, I'll look into it in the Homework Helpline.

I'm a hardcore Muse fan. No one is allowed to say anything degoratory about them in my presence. They are the best alternative/new progressive band I have ever known. Matthew Bellamy is a genius, and anyone who has not heard of them should go to Youtube and listen to them now!

I'm also quite the Warhammer 40K figurines fan, come to think of it now. My brother got me into it.

Hm. Can't think of anything else to add. Will probably edit in the future.

** currently listening to Easily by Muse**

(Copied from the sadly dead F/P)

Hello, I'm MJ-Skywalker. Most people here call me MJ. A few have figured out from random Star Wars knowledge that Mara is my name. (Kudos to those folks.) I do prefer Mara. To some, I am Carmen. To a friend of mine, I'm Mary Jane Watson. (Don't ask.) Only if your surname is Palpatine do you call me your servant. I am somewhat a newbie; my first post was to enter the OC challenge.

You can usually find me wandering around a fandom related to a Johnny Depp film (especially Pirates of the Caribbean), Harry Potter (there is a lot of crap to wade through there, though...), a Marvel comic (Iron Man's the best, shortly followed by Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four), or Twilight (...again, much too much crap to wade through there).

I LOVE challenges. I've been known to throw down some challenges, myself. (I've even been known to throw down some challenges /to/ myself, but we won't go there.)

I don't like people who think they're entitled to get something for nothing. I work hard in what I do and I believe that everyone else should, too. That's just how I am. I'm a perfectionist and, to some degree, obsessive compulsive. I am used to doing my best and succeeding. These are traits you must learn to put up with if you'd like to put up with me.

My lovely twin here, whom I affectionately call twin-mah-twin, is Dimitrius. Dimi, to most of us. She's my evil twin, I think. :) Cass is my most amazing beta, who puts up with me for laughs I'm sure. RumQueen is the most loveliest sweetest girl you could ever meet. I throw random quotes of my writing at her and ask her to fix them. xD Well, okay, she's been known to throw some at me, but whatever. And last but certainly not least, my most wonderful consultant on all things Pirates of the Caribbean (especially a certain "yummy Commodore") is the great Piewacket. She is AMAZING. The end.

Hi!

I used to post on the Fireplace, may it rest in peace, and now I guess I’ll post over here. I don’t know if any of you remember me, but I posted over there sporadically. My name is Tersa. You might see me wandering around the WOW threads here occasionally when I see something WOW worthy.

~Tersa

I'm Annette. I live in Scotland, but I'm German by birth. I am a school teacher, so be afraid, teenagers, be very afraid! Mwahahaha!

I am married with two children, aged three and four-and-a-half.

Me: Crim.

Yes, Please: Both Fuchsia City Gym Leaders (♥), Pokemon in general, pot roast sandwiches, HP laptops, staying up until the wee hours of the night, yandere!anything, money.

FUCK NO: Scene kids, white trash, odd numbers, Bidoof and Bibarel, most legendary Pokemon, mosquitoes, fish, when toilets make a scary flushing noise, any guy outside this forum, today's teens and their shitty morals.

Heya, folks. The name's Crim, and, as I type this, I'm one of the three mods of this lovely little forum. With my rather... quirky personality and my rambling posts, I have won the hearts of even the most cold-hearted and callous members here (read: Mex), but I'm pretty easy to get along with and I avoid fighting/animosity like the plague. If it somehow isn't painfully obvious already, my current fandom is Pokemon, which has exacted its revenge on me, in terms of obsession, after I forgot it existed for like, 10 years. |D; Other things I enjoy include writing, drawing, ceramics, English, cold cloudy and windy days, buying cute socks, and generally being awesome. :D

Hope you enjoy your stay here! ♥

Most of you should know me by now. I'm EclipseIllusion obviously. I am more famously know as one of the few "Sane Jonas Brothers fans". I think that's about it about me.

My name's Mex, and I have balls of steel.

Hi hi!

I was a fairly new FPerian, so sad that it shut down...

Anywho, I'm Jewles, yes that's my real name, and I'm just getting into College. You guys probably won't see a lot of me around here, but I'll drop in every now and again.

My name is Mo, I'm occasionally a pathological liar, and I've been told I'm amazingly awesome.

That is all.

I am Viv, Blackie, Rabid, Buttercup, RAB, or FBF. Buttercup, RAB, and FBF are my nicknames from certain people here, and they know who they are, so if you're not one of them, then please call me Viv or Rabid, as Blackie is my old nickname, and only a few FPers from the old Fireplace still call me that, like Master Mex, or Mexicano27. :D

I've been a poster on the original Fireplace since November 4, 2007. I'm not as frequent a poster on here as I was on there, but I do lurk and watch for trouble, and I interfere if I see fit, despite not being a mod. I don't really like fights.

Um, I'm obviously obsessed with ballet, and I like dancing. I started high school on August 18, 2009, and am still adjusting to the size of my school, lockers, and PE lockers, so while I'm not really a frequent poster, don't expect me to be on except for the weekends and after 4:00 PM, site time, as I do reside in the Great Land of In-N-Out.

I'm one of the younger members of the FP/FPA. Even though I've been on FF.Net for roughly three years, I've only "just" turned old enough to actually have an account on this website. :P But yeah.

And, um, I like huggles. So I give basically everyone e-huggles. Even Master Mex, despite his dislike for them.

So, what else? I play runescape, and I have a dragoncave account. I check my facebook a lot because I like to play Mafia Wars. I listen to Emilie Autumn and Frank Sinatra, and I like Singin' in the Rain (1952) and some other movies. So yuppers, that's me in a nutshell. Hope to see you around!

In the original Fireplace, I was simply referred to as "Debatra".

As a result of one of my first posts, I was named Douche-Interpreter(D-I) by the man himself. Basically, I translate Troll to English.

A fierce, loyal Fireplacian I am.

I am Mel. Most of you know me, those that don't will have the chance to form an opinion when they meet me.

I am Memo, a member of The Domain. I highly respect you guys, and I want to see the day where you take your rightful place among the top three forums again (above the LFE at the very least.)

I am Blur.

I like pie. =D

Hi, it's Rowena. I'm very sad. :(

The damndest things always happen while I'm asleep.

Anyway, the basic rundown goes like this. I'm a thirtysomething mother of one daughter, I write primarily X-Men: The Movie stories or stories that cross over with that fandom, though my stories are peppered with comic book and even some cartoon canon references as well. I'm engaged to the love of my life, known around these parts as Mary Sue's Assassin (or MSA for short) and we have a beautiful puppy named Osis who keeps us on our toes. Although "puppy" is only accurate for a couple more weeks, as he was born in late October, so we designated Halloween as his birthday. ;) I work third shift at an answering service, so my "day" usually begins between 4-8pm and ends some time between 10am and noon. I'm helpful to those who are open to suggestions and genuinely want the help, but I don't suffer fools gladly and I have no problem telling people what I think of them in very colorful terms. ;)

And please, call me Ro. ;)

I'm Kyota. I hate writing bios about myself, I'm a grammar freak, and I'm a T/Der through and through. (:

Quirinus-Romulus here. Internet buddies call me Ani, and I've gone by that nickname ever since '03 when I first started cruisin' the net. Texas has been my home for the entire 19 years of my quiet and rather boring life. Uh. . . . I am a girl, a sophomore in college, love to write, have way too much time on my hands, and am very odd. Right now I'm a Transformers fanatic, and on the side I fangirl over Spider-Man, Iron Man, Destination Truth and Ghost Hunters (TAPS).

I rarely posted back at the Fireplace. I lurked most of the time. And while lurking, I found that the people hanging there were actually pretty awesome. Maybe I'll spend more time posting here than lurking around. Maybe. Lurking can be fun.

Hai gaiz!

...Okay, that's my lolspeak for the day.

I'm Asta, always have been, always will be. Except on MSN. Zeus only knows what I'll be on there after Halloween (Currently, I'm Jack Skellington there. :B) I've been on the internet since I was 11; I'm 16 now, so I'm pretty twisted, though I've yet to touch 4Chan, so I'm not too bad, just yet. I write for a lot of fandoms (Teen Titans, Kingdom Hearts, Kirby, Mario, etc. etc...) and I will continue to do so for quite some time. I have had 3 different co-authors, and I'm still looking for more. XD

I'm witty, goofy, sarcastic, intelligent, and any thing else that could happen, depending on which of my deities is smiling on me today. :D

Hi new people. :)

I'm Whispy. Also called RENThead at various occasions. ;)

Random facts about yours truly: I'm a Christian. I'm 16 and a girl. I can put my feet behind my neck while sitting down on the ground. I'm a brown belt in tang-soo do. I can't play Guitar Hero for the life of me. I love RENT, Wicked, LOTR, and MORE. I want to be a therapist when I grow up (Pie is my HERO ;D) and I enjoy listening to music and singing....though some people, (namely my brother) don't enjoy it as much as I do. xD I adore writing, and I hope to write a novel when I grow up (a novel writing therapist, that's wickidy wack). I'm slightly insane, have a nonverbal LD and ADD, fall asleep listening/watching RENT on my portable DVD player on my night stand, have a crush on Adam Pascal, Anthony Rapp and Christian Bale with the burning intensity of a thousand suns. I painted my nails blue in honor of Angel. My friend is part of the first ammature theater group to buy rights to perform RENT. I moo in public at times. My friend has danced on a table singing La Vie Boheme at lunch in her school.

Hey, by the way, all you guys posting here don't seem to be coming into the chat thread. I swear, we won't bite you. Come on! Talk to us. :) (We'll restrain Crimsy and San. ;))

Trousers is in the house!

Basically anything you remember from the last forum you can place here about me.

I'm Yorkie. :) I love Wicked, Kristin Chenoweth, and Pushing Daisies. I also have a problem of over-using smilies... I've been told that I have problems, that I'm odd, and that I'm a stalker... All from my English teacher. XD I mention her a lot, yeah...

I write teh humor. I love anyone who loves Wicked or Cheno. :P

14. Chinese-American. Obsessed with Death Note.

Mimi. =D

My pen-name is (obviously) madd.junkie, but you can call me Nique. I'm fifteen, but I'll be sixteen in November. I'm African American and I haven't written in damn near a year. I'm mostly in the anime section, but occasionally I'll wander into TV Shows (House, Supernatural, Scrubs mostly) or Cartoons (South Park, Grim and Evil, and Metalocalype)

Nice to meet you all.

O HAI. I can has grieving over The Fireplace nao, yes.

My name is Nina/blaqksilence and I don't really change my penname. I am 19 and highly obsessive. My anime fandoms are mainly Death Note, Code Geass and Gravitation, but there are loads of other series I like, obviously. I also love Torchwood, but usually fear venturing into the fanfic.

Music is one thing I could never live without. My favourite bands/artists are uh, listed in my profile somewhere. I'm currently venturing further into j-music, courtesy of Kamijo because LOLMYHERO ♥

Most of my life is spent on LJ, because I fail like that :D

Shit, I came in so late XD.

I'm Beth, a hyperactive fifteen-year-old living on a teensy Asian island where nerds dominate and people have no life after twelve-hour schooldays and holidays spent on tutoring and AP classes. Which I am not a part of because of going to a bilingual school for a decade and therefore turning into a zhai nuie who spends all her time chatting with random people online. As you may have noticed, I tend to talk in run-on sentences a lot. I can speak fluent English, Chinese and Chinglish, if that interests anyone XD.

I've got three socks (this is one, by the way... I usually sign on with another one). Current fandoms: South Park and Beyblade. Both of which are pretty dead.

I've got a LJ if anyone's interested.

Hello...I had an unpleasant discovery waiting for me when I returned to the Internet this morning, and proceeded to wander through quite a few forums until I found this one. This is what I get for not being attentive, I suppose.

I'm a beta reader who is usually only vaguely helpful and will be getting even less so very soon (NaNoWriMo ftw)...eh, I suppose I'll post this in the Beta thread after all.

Anyway, this penname was originally (and still is) an archive name. I search FFnet for good-quality fiction and archive it in my Favorites and C2. It more recently became a contest name as well...now if I could only get inspired to write again...:/

...Well, that was a lot of info none of you probably wanted to know about. ~_~

EDIT: Oh yeah, I should probably mention that I'm a 22-year old lady university student who's obsessed with anime and video games. Yet I'm a bio major.

I'm Dartigen, a 15-year-old insomniac high school student who likes making and editing videos, playing World of Warcraft, watching YouTube and doing her IT homework.Also I like music (loud), movies (the more gore and action, the better), writing and online shopping.

I also came here from the original Fireplace.

Hi guys, call me Wendy. It's my given name.

I'm married to Richard, and work as a post room clerk for an insurance company. I write mostly LOTR/Silm and Harry Potter stories, but I have been known to come out of my comfort zone from time to time. Favourite music is Eighties pop, though I do like other kinds as well. As for movies and TV, I like horror, Sci Fi and, would you believe - cartoons. I know! Pixar PWNs. Comedies include My Name Is Earl and Pushing Daisies.

There's a lot going on ATM, so I might not pop in very often, but I'll always be there for FP friends, so if you need me, PM me.

My pen-name is Grasping Dreams, and I like to change my pen-name and avatar much more than necessary. One could say that I like change.

I have many nick-names that I'm sure you'll pick up on, because I'm too lazy to list them all.

I'm currently in college and about to get my Associate's degree. After that, I'm off to do other things. Maybe work on my career...a lot.

I like things that "go boom", hunting, fishing, playing computer games, reading, strategy games (especially chess), and a few other things I'm sure you'll learn if you get to know me.

I learned of the FP closing a few days ago, but first got around to coming here now.

Anyway, I'm mostly known as Ari, but any other variation of my penname is also acceptable. A few FP members have some nicknames for me as well, and as an old joke from the FP, I also answer to any form of Sailor Mars.

I'm 16 and have a current obsession with Death Note. I also attend a public high school in the middle of nowhere....yeah.

Well, I guess that's all for the time being. If anyone wants to know anything else about me, just ask. =)

The name's Loz or Streak and I'm a fifteen-year-old Sydneysider from Australia.

I mostly post at T/D, and used to have sporadic posts/appearances at the F/P.

Annnd I absolutely hate writing these things.

My name is san.

Hey guys, I'm tina and I'm a very snarky teen from New Jersey (that's America). I write for PotC quite a lot and spend far too much time on forums and not enough writing!
