I joined GA... In 2004. I was chasing DK's Dawn of Tears after having already read through Mists of Fate and starting to write a story of my own. Nifty was where I spent most my time in my teenage years, all the bubbling hornyness of puberty MADE me read that smut. And then I got hooked. Got my best friend hooked, hell I even got one of my straight co-workers hooked and we used to talk about books ALL the time at work.
Here I am, 18 years later, still coming to GA every few months to see if any of my favorite authors have come back, or to see if any new authors have put forward anything to rekindle my interests. I'm never disappointed, even if I have to use wayback machine to read some of the good oldies.
Thanks for making this place Myr
