Nice!

Even though you are technically spamming the forum, we will let it slide... j/k

There could be a separate forum part where people could post all sorts of contests and stuff. I think its useful. Great to know someone knows about ToD enough to come here and let us know if we would want to take part and benefit.

Good idea!

shrike522: do you have anything to do with Chaosium? or are you just spreading the news of this?

Are any of you surprised I am submitting something for this? I like the idea for a section to help us with our pieces. I will probably do mine sometime soon.

Why would we be suprised? You write.. its a writing contest.. etc..

What do you mean about a 'section' to help with your pieces? On ToD?

Lagwolf · Post by **Lagwolf** » Fri Jan 21, 2005 5:29 pm

Yes...I would like ToD to help with this endeavor.

I may be misunderstanding. Isn't your 'featured writer' page a section to help with your pieces? Or did you mean something for this contest specifically?

First off in answer to your question... I wish. I am in no way affiliated with Chaosium. I have been a lurker on your site for quite a while now and have enjoyed much interesting Mythos news and sites you have brought to my attention especially Tales of Plush Cthulhu and Cute Abominations. I decided to join up the other day and was just excited to bring you news you might not have heard to pay you back for all the wonderful info you have given me.Perhaps in my zeal I phrased it incorrectly(I should have used a question) but I was quite miffed when I was accused of spamming your site. It is Mythos news after all and I am not promoting a CD or a book for goodness sake. I want to be your friend as we share the same interests.
I have been an HPL and the Mythos circle of writers fan for many years now and I feel I have interesting and esoteric knowledge to share with the group. I enjoy COC and keep up with the online sites. I play MYTHOS CCG online. I like the new card game from FF. I have two copies of Arkham Horror and in a fit of madness once painted minatures of all the monsters to use in the game. I am really looking forward to Dark Corners of the Earth.
I Think DAGON is a great film. Let's face it I am a Mythos Freak and would be grateful if you would wecome into your group instead of publicly chastizing me for an unintentioned bunder. WHAT DO YOU SAY?

I don't have any problems with that

shrike552, this is what I said:

The "j/k" means just kidding. I was perfectly fine with your post, and even appreciated it. I am always glad when we have a new member here at the forum as well! I am glad you like the site.

So everything is cool!

The Sage of Wales is taking a trip back to Arkham, which is a good thing cause his author mate got a PhD at Mistakatonic.
