Just a bit of a quick hello. Last week, I followed a link in someone's sig from newsarama and wound up here. Snooped around for the weekend (like any decent stalker would) and have to say my interest was piqued. I call myself a writer, so I was a bit impressed by this lil community you guys have set up here. Then the work week called and I let it slip past a bit. I came back this weekend when something I had seen here rehit the memory. I wanted to try drawing (the art here must've triggered some sort of "paper envy"), but have never given it a shot. So long story short (too late) - armed with a Dodson WW cover for ref, a #2 pencil, a sheet of printer paper, and the "Dr Dread technique" (posted in a thread in another forum here) I made my first "drawing" yesterday. Now, it's not what I would call a good "drawing" (hence the quote marks) but it is a start. I had to join up after that, hoping to add a bit of something to this great looking site here. I did go looking last weekend for other sites like this. And what I found were pleeeenty of places that may be cool and all, but they didn't quite strike me like this here DC2. Looks like I'll be hanging around for a bit.

Welcome aboard! Glad to have you and can't wait to see what you come up with. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. Also feel free to browse the site out in the open cause there's no reason to act shy around here!
It is reassuring to know that our little family here is still the best fanfic site on the web! What? Thats what I got from what was said!

Welcome aboard, Heelmark!
Can't wait to see the pic (you really can't go wrong with the "DrDread Technique") and/or to read your work (I think we should have some titles opening soon somewhere).
Feel free to make yourself at home at the DC2!

do you mark for heels or is the name coincidently the same as wrestling terminology?

Wow, responses. I'll try to be quick so's ya don't have to sit through some essay here. And while I haven't gotten too deep in the reading yet, this is the best fanfic site I've seen just from the set-up and the artwork. Much better than a list of random, unconnected stories. The art, the continuity, and the way you have titles fixed up makes this place look more....hmmm real (?) somehow. *thumbs up* Welcome! You'll find this is a place for fanfic and art done right! Well, there goes my shot. Welcome aboard, Heelmark! Can't wait to see the pic (you really can't go wrong with the "DrDread Technique") and/or to read your work (I think we should have some titles opening soon somewhere). Feel free to make yourself at home at the DC2! You asked for it. But if your eyes go to bleeding or the head hurts from it, blame foos. If you don't have a foos here, get one. It helps when the blaming starts. I just have to figure out how to do that without a scanner. hmmm Maybe if I take a pic with my phone and load that? I'll see how that works. do you mark for heels or is the name coincidently the same as wrestling terminology? Y'know, you're the first one to notice that outside of a PW board. I'm feeling better here already. I would like to try writing something here. Just have a lil roadblock in the way. See, I've always been a marvel boy. *ducks* But I know there are some great characters here that I'd like to try my hand at. Hopefully I'll be able to turn out something decent without screwing things up too badly. I'll hit up something short to see what happens and then toss a few pitches and go from there. Are there any characters needing something done with them right away? Thanks for the welcomes and whotchas gang. Maybe I'll be able to add something good. At least I know I'll enjoy my stay.

And I'm having a bit of trouble getting my av in here. Any suggestions? Well, it should be simply a question of setting your avatar to that picture on your modify profile page. Anyway, I've done it for you and it seems to work. Welcome to the site, by the way.

Welcome to the DC2 Universe.
I'm glad you were able to scavenge some tips from my random ramblings. Good luck with the drawings, and keep practicing.
