*throws sparkles*

[Laranja]

gaze at my glorious sparkles

Hello hello! I'm brand spanking new and I should be working on my research paper that's a big chunk of my grade :'D
I'm from the Philippines, so my timezone is not exactly in sync with probably most (if not all) of you, but nevertheless I hope that I can be friends with all of you and stuff~

Err what else.
Uh, I draw. And I write.
I also like to game, but I'm only limited to DS games + a few Wii games.
I'm in college. And I'm taking up Literature as my major. And uh I'm in first year. It's already pretty hectic XD
I own a cat. A Persian cat. An anti-social, regal-looking cat.

I've been to adoptable sites and forums since I was in 7th grade, but I've been into virtual pet sites (with my first being Neopets) since I was in 1st Grade XD I've also been into RPing when I joined in forums and stuff, so I'm rather experienced in it. Around that time, I also got into writing fanfiction, but lately I haven't been writing much and am more into drawing now. It's not exactly the best though. I'll be posting some of my doodles later :'3

Feel free to ask anything or if you want to chat, ahah.

Hello nice to meet you! I'm sure the others will be on soon to welcome you and tell you more about the site (I would but I think the others would tell you it better as they have been on longer   )

[ZeldaWolf]

Heyo Laranja, welcome onto MnF! *gives bone crushing hug* I'm Zelda (the Grand) and I bid you good tidings as you explore. Misty will be around to throw an official party soon but its great to see a new member round. Take heed, this hangout reaches deep within and exploits your inner fluffiness, so be prepared.

[TLOSpyrogirl]

*glomps* Welcome to the forum~ We're having an event some time today, should be up by the time you read this. Misty is chronically late but she's not THAT late. Usually. xD misty-n-friends.proboards.com/thread/642/jabber-box?page=87&scrollTo=63864 This is usually where we chat and it'll be your main source of dirshe (which you can use to buy pups during sales, but this upcoming event is a raffle I believe, so you don't have to worry about that now xD), plus you can get to know everyone!

It's 2 in the morning there? That means you're 15 hours ahead of Misty. So whenever she says an event is at a certain time, just add 15 hours to it. You don't have to worry if you'll be asleep by then though, since most events last for a week or more. xD Most of us are in the US and around EST time zone. xD

What fandoms do you write for? My main one is Spyro but I sometimes write for one or two others. Well not anymore since I'm super lazy, but I'm trying to get back into it... xD I draw too (love your style by the way, ermager so kawaii >w<) but I'm not very good at it. xD

Welcome to Misty n' Friends Laranja!

It's great to welcome you to the forums! As you probably know I'm the admin! You can call me Heather, and the co-admin and mascot is Misty! She should be here by now, but she said she was just going to bring the coo-

Misty: *tumbles in* HAAAAI! *glomps* I'm Misty! I brought cookies for everyone! *hands cookies to all*

Welcome to MnF! It's great to have you! If you have any questions just ask me or one of the members. Hope you have fun here! :3

[Marsh]

Cooookkkkkiiiieeeeessss! *snatches one from Misty and noms on it* Thankies Misty! *looks up and sees stranger*

Well hello there, the name's Marshy... and it's a pleasure to make your aquaintance. I'd be happy to answer any questions but really, Misty is the person (well... puppy) for that. I hope that you settle in okay, but it shouldn't be too hard - we're all friendly round here!

[Wolfie]

*dances around in the sparkles* Ooohh... shiny.

I'm Wolfie! I've been here since last summer, but I was also here before that. I left for a little while and then came back, but now I'm here to stay! I think you'll like it here!
*melts onto the floor* I just remembered I was going to make a big help topic for the newbies, but I never got around to it... I guess that's something I should work on! *flies away on my imaginary wings*

[Laranja]

Hello! Nice to meet you too! :'D I really like your avatar, it's very pretty ^w^

> ZeldaWolf
*gets hugged* Choking, not breathing :U
Great to meet you, Zelda. And I think I am prepared, I have been writing fluff for years. Or well, I suppose it depends on the fluff.
But I live on it. It's my life's blood U: I cannot live without it.

*gets glomped while still in Zelda's arms*
I'll be checking out that thread in a while, then~ Right now I'm on a break before my next class since college schedules are pretty free when it comes to breaks and whatnot hehe.
And yes, during the time you posted, it was 2am, so I was asleep XD

I used to write for several fandoms including Pokemon, Bakugan, Dinosaur King, and a couple others. My old fanfiction account should still be there for people to read but I don't usually link that to others now because the stuff there are old and bad ;w; I haven't played the Spyro games so unfortunately I am rather unfamiliar with it, but I have played several others, I suppose? XD And thanks ;w;

*gets glomped again by Misty after just getting out of the hugs from Zelda and Spyro*
Hello hello~ Nice to meet you, Heather! (and Misty-) *takes a cookie*
My mom bakes, actually. She hasn't made cookies in a while, but recently she made some carrot cupcakes that I sometimes bring to school. XD

Thank you! I hope that I have fun here too~

//I can't stop looking at the gif in your sig omg
Thanks for the welcome :'D I think I can get along here just fine (I hope) - though I suppose my timezone may be a bit of a problem since hardly anyone is online when I come in XD

EDIT: Oops, missed someone!
> Wolfie
Great to meet you :'3 I think there was already a newbie guide around here or am I mistaken? My memory isn't the best, really. Nevertheless, I'm sure you can get around to that guide at some point haha XD Wings are awesome~

[TLOSpyrogirl]

I haven't heard of the others but I luffs me some Pokemon. I only own one game and I'm a n00b but I still love it. xD I know the feeling with bad fanfiction since I joined the site when I was 12... I keep having to rewrite all my stories because I look back and I just want to facepalm. xD

[Laranja]

Pokemon forever <3
I've written a lot of fanfiction of Pokemon and love it to bits. My first console was a DS lite so the first game I got for it was Pokemon Diamond XD I only played two games before that which was Ruby and Crystal, but after Diamond I've been following the franchise closely until X/Y came out, to which I cannot play it at the moment because I don't have a 3DS *sobs*

I started writing fanfiction when I was 13. It was terrible *facedesk* I have rewritten my stories a few times, but usually I end up losing the motivation to rewrite them fully. I also never really finish my stories either, leaving them in like cliffhangers XD There was a time where I decided to check back on my stories last year, I believe? After leaving it for 2 years that is (the last time I updated was 2012) and I get really surprised when people still review my stories and ask where I've been. //feels guilty

[TLOSpyrogirl]

I had Emerald when I was a kd, but technically my cousin owned it so I wasn't allowed to delete the file. I literally spent hours fighting zigzagoons until I had to give it back and then did it again. xD I have Y. It's really cool. You should get a 3DS if you can. xD

Ditto... and I just go on unannounced hiatus for years. xD Aw, no one really asked me unless they were my friends. xD

[Laranja]

Ohh I see. Zigzagoons are adorable, I remember the time when I actually trained one and got it to evolve into a Linoone - he kept on picking up a lot of Nuggets for me ahue. Man, you're lucky that you managed to get Y ;n; I really want to try both X/Y and ORAS...

It's funny, really, one of the stories I wrote ended up being pretty popular because for some reason a lot of people want to read fanfiction for this specific character but there aren't a lot of them for him. In FFnet, as I recall, there are only 3 pages for that specific character, I believe? So it's pretty easy to dig up my old story XD And it was really weird that when I went into college I actually met an upperclassman that read my story and it was like omg wow I actually met one of my readers randomly wut.

My friends are writers now but I never show them my fanfiction, so they never ask about it XD

[TLOSpyrogirl]

Zigzagoons evolve? o-o Yeah like I said, still a n00b... xD I've had a 3DS for a few years now, so. xD I feel kind of left out on the remakes because they did Ruby and Sapphire and not Emerald. xD

Wow... I only got a story with over 100 reviews a few months ago, and it was after several years. I don't expect to ever meet anyone that's read it. xD Aww. All my friends are either from fanfiction or they don't care about reading. xD

[Laranja]

Ruby and Sapphire is kind of the same as Emerald save for a few minor details, so playing it shouldn't make you feel left out too much, from what I recall XD
And yeah they evolve hehe. They're pretty cute :U

Same same, I'm pretty sure I barely reach the 100 mark with most of my stories. I think only one or two have ever gotten than high? And it's been years since I last checked XD I have a friend who's my blockmate that happens to be really into writing CharacterxReader stories in deviantArt, though I can't say I super enjoy reading them since for one thing, I'm not that into the Hetalia fandom and I'm not that big of a fan of those kinds of story types either XD

[Brownie]

Oh noes! I'm late for the party! xD

*Ahem* Hai! I'm Brownie. :3 Welcome to the site! Technically I did make a Newbie Help Topic, but it's really out-dated so...Until I update it, perhaps it isn't the best guide to follow. :'d

[Laranja]

It's alright, I think there are still cookies left for you~ *hands you a cookie*
Nice to meet you, by the way! I saw some of your art in the other board and it's really awesome :'D

[Brownie]

Yay! *Munches on cookie*

Thanks! It's kind of old, though. But I'm planning on starting a graphic novel sometime soon, so you'll be able to see my recent art there. xD

[Laranja]

Oh that's cool! I never have the patience to be able to make a graphic novel XD Unfortunately college is also keeping me rather busy, with all the deadlines coming up and whatnot. I wish you the best of luck in your graphic novel :'D

[Brownie]

Thanks! Yeah, graphic novels suck up a lot of time. x3 But I'll make it a point to finish it, no matter how long it takes! *super-hero pose*

[Laranja]

*poses with you*
In my case I'm just trying my best to do as much as I can for my research paper. I'm still lacking some things that I'd need to find in my campus library tomorrow, but I hope to be able to finish at least more than half of what I should be submitting today. It's rather frustrating and tedious though </3

[Brownie]

Then you probably have more of an excuse to do a superhero pose than me. xD I hope you get it done soon!

[Laranja]

Ah well, I got most of it down but I still have a ways to go before I finish it. Deadline is midnight today </3 I still need to find one more book for my sources...

[Brownie]

Meep! *Closes laptop* No MnF for you until you get that finished! xD

[Laranja]

No :U *stays put in MnF while going through a book about Global Poverty*

[Brownie]

Ooh. *Looks over shoulder to see but quickly looses interest*
