Hello everyone. I'm new here so I thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Caroline McKenna, I'm 16 and I live near Chicago. I've been watching reruns of Lois and Clark as often as I can for the past two years. You see, it airs at 7AM where I am, and the bus comes at like 7:25 so i rarely get to watch a whole episode.  Although, I will admit to being "sick" so I can finish an episode. I am fairly new to the world of L&C fanfic as well. I have written fanfic for another fandom, but as of now not for L&C. I definitely want to start. Looking forward to getting to know you all and to reading some great fic! Caroline   (Calvin is sooo cool!)
You've gotta be original, because if you're like someone else, what do they need you for?

Although, I will admit to being "sick" so I can finish an episode. Hahaha. That's great.  I'm Jen, hmm what to say about myself. So hard to form logical sentences after midnight LOL. Anywho, I'm 19, and I live in the land of the nothing along the Gulf Coast in Alabama. I guess the most exciting thing we have around here is the hurricane. Ooh look forward to reading some GR-R-EAT fic! Have you found your way over to the Arhive? Jen

hi caroline. nice to meet you. welcome to the boards.  i'm paul. i'm a friendly helpful wierdo nerd who sometimes goes to MIT. i'll be turning 25 in a couple of weeks. as for l&c, you know that now that they've switched TNT to TBS, they're showing 2 eps a day? one 7-8 and one 8-9. personally, rather than missing the bus or whatever, i'd suggest taping them. have the vcr record both eps for you, and watch them after school. anyway, have fun, enjoy reading, and good luck writing. oh, and i agree. calvin (and his alter ego, spaceman spiff) is really cool. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.stopstart.fsnet.co.uk/Gif/CHCalv.gif) Paul
When in doubt, think about penguins. It probably won't help, but at least it'll be fun.

Hi Caroline  I'm Anna, I'm 21, I live in Seattle, and Jen is right: it is hard to form coherent sentances after midnight.  I'm really glad that you've gotten hooked on the show and found all of us. Good luck getting started with fanfic; I can't wait to see what you come up with.  ~Anna

Hey Caroline, Welcome to the boards. I'm Annie and I'm in Chapel Hill, NC where I'm a senior at UNC. It's not just past midnight for me here - it's past 4am. <G> This is what happens when I get hooked into coversation with other FoLCs (our acronym for fans of lois and clark) who are also night owls. I'm glad you wandered here, if you're looking for LnC fanfic, you've definitely come to the right place. If you want to read fanfic as it's being written, check out the fanfic and fanfic challenge folders. If you want recommendations for stories that have already been archived ( www.lcfanfic.com) or advice on writing your own fanfic, check out fanfic related. Everything else should be pretty self explanatory. We're a friendly bunch, and we're always excited to meet new people, especially younger fans who are discovering the show for the first time. Annie

You'll fit in well here, Caroline. Hope you enjoy catching up with all the fanfic and that you'll soon be posting some of your own, too! Have fun! LabRat

Welcome, Caroline!
I'm Irene, and I'm old! (Okay, not that old at 43, but when I was 15, I thought that was ancient.)
We have a lot of fun here, and we hope that you will, also.
Take care,
Irene

Nice to meet you, Caroline Irene stole my line about being old so I'll just say I'm thirty-something and leave it at that! But one of the cool things about FOLCdom is that age is fairly irrelevant; I've got friends from 20 to 60 Anyway, have fun! PJ

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! I really appreciate it, it makes a big difference between posting or lurking. I've been reading LnC fic for a little while now, and here, I'm recognizing all the writers! It's like meeting celebrities! Whoo! Caroline

I just wanted to throw in my welcome, too. It's always great to see a new face. Just as introduction, I'm Karen, one of the techie types around, and all-around weird person. And I'm not commenting on ages. :p

Hey Caroline, and welcome!! I'm Kaethel, I'm 24 years old (and about this, well, what Jill said ), and I'm French. I hope you're going to start posting your fanfics soon! We always love getting new authors around here; just remember the cardinal rule: once you start sharing your stories with us, we can get greedy and demand more stories and never let you get back to lurkdom.

Welcome, Caroline! I'm actually a relative newbie myself... but the newness wears off quickly. I'm Rivka, age 29 -- which I believe makes me an ice age relic, but not quite as old as dirt.
Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you, like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says, "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly.
