Human, not spambot! Please don't delete me again.

Sorry!

We get about 100 bots registering each day, most of which never post but do all sorts of other nasty stuff (like fill their profile with porn/malware links), so we can't examine on a case-by-case basis - every morning I just delete all the accounts that were created the previous day and didn't post (spambots that post are blasted a lot faster). Now that you've posted, though, your account is safe forever

Hello! I've been listening for about three years now, and my ever-mounting desire to get my literary discussion on lead me here.

I'm a big fan of horror, so Pseudopod was my first. Once the mutations were complete and my horrible, gnashing hunger could not be sated, I devoured Podcastle and Escape Pod.

Dramatics aside, I enjoy writing, even if I rarely finish my scrawlings. Since the stories featured on the assorted podcasts are nearly always a source of inspiration, I figure that the clever people that discuss them might help with my writer's block.

Hi Everyone,

I’m new here and looking forward to some great stories.

Thanks!

Hello,
I've been listening to Escape Pod on and off for several years, but it was word of the flash fiction contest the drew me here.

Eanor · **Reply #406 on:** September 14, 2012, 01:17:52 PM

Hey everybody,

I found PodCastle just about a month ago and since then have been listening to at least one story a day (and often more). Thank you for all this wonderful work!

Thought I'd sign up now to maybe join in some of the discussions.

Bdoomed · **Reply #407 on:** September 15, 2012, 03:33:50 AM

Welcome Ettan, rharryw, and Eanor! Make yourselves at home!

Hi, folks. My name is David and I'm an author/writing tutor living in the San Francisco Bay Area. Just earned my BA in English with an option in Creative Writing and ready to dive into the writing business. Found this site today and thought it would be fun to join. Glad to be here!

Hello -

Here's my first post to say hi and to keep myself from being deleted. I've been listening to Escape Pod and Pod Castle for a while (I've got a long commute) and been very much enjoying the stories.

And I just sent in my submission for the flash contest... my first submission of anything anywhere, woo hoo!

Talia · **Reply #410 on:** September 15, 2012, 07:18:18 PM

Welcome everyone. Always glad to see new "faces" popping in.

Greetings Escape Artists

This is Nomdepod's human mediator urging you not to annhialiate this novel account. What it lacks in humanity it makes up for in, eh $:-\$ , anonymity.

JDoug · **Reply #412 on:** September 18, 2012, 10:57:37 PM

Listen to Escape Pod on my way to and from work and love every pod cast. Guess that makes me a fan!

DeepBlueJoy · **Reply #413 on:** September 21, 2012, 09:08:33 PM

Hi there... I'm a brand new member... not much to say except that I like to read and like to write and I'm pretty eclectic about both.

Peace,

Blue

Hi all. Longtime lurker, first-time poster. Thought it was time finally to get off my duff and enter the fray. Have worked as a professional reader, writer and teacher. Excelsior!

Bdoomed · **Reply #415 on:** September 23, 2012, 05:31:57 AM

Welcome new peoples!

I love seeing new faces!

Hello,
I'm new here, just wanted to say Hi!
Thanks,
Carrie

lowky · **Reply #417 on:** October 02, 2012, 06:36:23 PM

Not new but it's been close to 3 years since I was on here. Probably biggest fan of Pseudopod, but also like escape pod, and to a lesser extent podcastle. Sorry it's been so long, lets see, in 2010 my computer (laptop) got stolen. Wasn't until mid 2011 that I was able to afford a replacement, and didn't have home internet, so...

Glad to be back, thinking of making an attempt at NaNoWriMo, but don't have real idea on what i want to write (which doesn't bode well for winning, but it's the attempt that counts, cause gets me writing again.)

Bdoomed · **Reply #418 on:** October 03, 2012, 07:50:33 AM

Holy wow, you've been gone for a LONG time, sir! Welcome back!

lowky · **Reply #419 on:** October 04, 2012, 10:11:55 PM

thanks

Hello! I'm a relatively new listener to Escape Pod, suddenly feeling the need to join the forum and post an opinion. Lovely to be here!

Piet · **Reply #421 on:** October 13, 2012, 12:32:56 AM

Hello EA world.

After having read some of the episode comments, it is evident that a variety of perspectives and thoughtful discussion add a lot to the listening/reading experience.

RowanBristol · **Reply #422 on:** October 13, 2012, 02:05:14 PM

Good Morning from Chicago!

I've been listening to the podcast for years, and felt it was time to be just a scootch more active. I think like everyone else in the world, I'm a writer and podcaster, and former storyteller at RenFaire. I love the shows, I love the magic, and I hope to play more in this forum.

lowky · **Reply #423 on:** October 13, 2012, 03:05:05 PM

Welcome Ed and RowanBristol and Carlos Ferreira

Moiralyn · **Reply #424 on:** October 16, 2012, 04:05:24 AM

Allo

I'm posting because I would like to vote on your flash fiction contest and I was told you needed to post a little hello first. I will peruse the rest of the site as soon as I can
