Just thought I'd pop on and say HI! whilst I familiarise myself with the boards. Bit about me, been a long time scifi/fantasy fan in so many different genres. I have very fond memories about the BotP incarnation of Gatchaman, that were all brought back to the surface when I found the Gatchaman page on the Imagi website when I was reading about the new TMNT film they released. My favourite is Ryu/Tiny, mostly because he gets to fly the God Phoenix, and also because I am most like him physically lol! Outside of watching so many different films/tv shows, reading so many books, I love to write as well, done some SW fanfics previously, written some original fantasy, edited some friends work as well. Might even drift into the Gatchaman fanfic world once I've re-discovered it. I'm going back through Gatchaman from the beginning again to bring myself back up to speed.

Hiya Jairen. Welcome to the boards! Feel free to plod around and join in on any conversations going on. Post some links to your fics. We're all slathering monsters for fic work and you'll no doubt end up with a couple of fans. Again, welcome. SJ

Well hello Jairen. Let me be the first to welcome another Owl fan. It sounds like you are showing up at just the right time. In a week or so we are going to be starting to have discussions about each episode, starting from the beginning of Gatch. Feel free to add any interesting facts you discover while renewing your interest.

Welcome Jairen to this site. It's a fun place to be, and I can't wait to have a chance to read any fanfic, but especially Gatch related.

Welcome Jairen and I like your avatar and another Owl for ClD (Clouddancer) to play with on her birthday. I would like to invite you to the Rubb......I mean Reception Room. Don't worry, it's safe in there and you can't hurt yourself as the walls are made of rubber. I have also notice that you are slightly older than me, as I was born in August 72. Another 20something. Welcome again mate and oh by the way, us Eagles have HUGE tabs, so just ask for your posion at Snack J.

*waves* Yay, I knew you'd have to join us at some point. Believe me people, if / when Jairen gets his owl costume sorted, it will be the most convincing Ryu ever!

Hi Jairen and welcome to the boards! Oooo... it's great to see another Owl fan..

Welcome Jairen! Nice to have you here!

Greetings, Jairen! It's nice to meet you!

It's great to see you here, Jairen! We always enjoy welcoming new people to the world of Gatch. Or to be more correct, people like you who knew one of the Gatchaman incarnations in their childhoods, and then rediscovered it later on! I think most of us here fall into that category, and the largest contingent seems to be people who grew up watching BOTP. (and yes, I fall into that category) We love all kinds of fanfic and fanart, so whatever goodness you decide to share will be much appreciated! Welcome to the board!

Thank you for the wonderful, warm welcome, I can see I'm going to be right a home here

What's this I hear about an Owl costume???

Owl costume. Qucik get the camera.

Well, I just have to welcome our new Owl with an Owl! Glad to have you here, Jairen!

Nice to meet you here, Jairen. Welcome to the board,

I'm in talks with a friend of mine to have an Owl helmet made, and then to potentially make an entire costume. If I'm honest, I kind of waiting for the images to arrive from the new film (not sure spandex would suit me lol) and to build it around that, though I like the armoured version of Ryu in the avatar that I have. You should get Veritas to post a picture of her Berg Katse costume.

Welcome Jairen!

She did! It's in the cosplay section.

Yep and she did a wonderful job. Jairen. Can't wait to view any pics of your Owl costume along the way, that is if you feel like posting them.

Hi Jairen!!! Writing is addictive isn't it... Well you're in the right place to find fanfic writters and Gatchaman/BOTP fans. Hang around, come into the Snack J for a while and I'll buy a round or two... And look out for Clouddancer she's our fluffy white Owl... I'm sure she'll love to meet another Owl fan!
