Hello, I'm Absol Master. Pleased to meet you all.
So yes, I came here mainly because of the slow rate of posting in FanFiction, and also because the people there have become far too fierce. I'm hoping to start afresh here, though I'll probably be reposting my old fanfics. I hope the community here is more friendly than the one I got to know at FanFiction.
I've seen a bit already—I saw a really long fifty-something chapter story called Infinence, and Within//Without: Two Worlds, which is being updated pretty fast. I also saw your contest notice—and might join. If someone could give me a bit of an intro to this place, that'd be great.
Um...I hope that no one minds me making my introduction like this, and I hope that this message isn't considered inappropriate for this forum.
Alright, since this forum for fanfiction, I'll put in a poem here. Enjoy :D

Close your eyes now, child,
For the rest of the world is asleep.
Listen to the starlight, whispering through the windows
And think not of the pain that cripples you.
Think not of the decades that pave your road to eternity.
Imprisoned you may be
Here beyond a thousand crystal walls,
Beyond the dirge of oblivion.
But please don’t hide your face, dear child!
Brush your tears away—your sorrow makes my heart heavy.
No matter how the world darkens
How cold the night has grown
Don’t hide your face from it, dearest one.
I will watch you, I promise—
Whispering my own song in your ears
So you may not hear the song of the shadows.
::::
How long has it been, since we tasted the sunlight?
All I hear are the siren songs of the dying
And their empty prayers.
But beyond the shadows that fall, the rivers that die,
Swear that you will not forget my love.
I swear I will not forget yours.
::::
Burden not your heart now—let sleep take you to into its arms of solace.
I will stay awake in your place; I will be your heartbeat.
Promise you will sleep.
Promise you will smile for me, let go of all your pain—
And I promise I will let go of mine.
Imprisoned you may be, dear child—
Imprisoned by forgetfulness, by tears, by midnight.
But as long as I am here with you,
As long as you remember the meaning of love,
Your soul will always be free…
::::
The song that the clock sings to the big blue monster. Check Alishar’s pic if you don’t know what I mean.
I actually have an entire (self-fabricated) story about how Alishar came into existence—but that’s another story, literally. This is like a tie-in.
Well, that's it. Thanks :D
