Can't figure out the last time I logged, but wow! I love what you've done with the place! Looking at the Interactive Fics it seems somehow the entire board been drafted onto the Team and have their own adventures now, everyone has hot, smexy new avatars and so many new faces . . . . . . big hugs to those I know and have missed and warm hellos to the ppl I don't know yet but hope to . . . . . . now where do I sign up to get a uniform and some hand to hand combat training with the Eagle?

Hey gogirl Here's the thread for the birdstyle avatars: http://www.gatchamania.net/thread.php?threadid=2875&sid= To join the IF, read through the character thread and the bios so that you know who we are and insert your own here: http://www.gatchamania.net/thread.php?threadid=2954&sid= You may want to take a day or two or so to read through the at least the latest on the IF. Green has it all on word docx if that is easier for you to read. Feel free to jump in with us.

Hi! I guess it's a welcome back! You kiss and cuddle Thunderbird for your uniform. He'll need to know your bird designation and uniform preferences. He hasn't been around a lot, either... You come up with a bio with your girl's background and special skills - we've got a separate thread for those. Not sure where that one went to... Then you get 'found' by someone and drafted. Not as hard as it sounds. Especially when the teams are about to swing into operation. If it helps, I have the entire IF file saved onto a flash drive. I can e-mail it to you so you don't have to flick through all the pages. A word of warning though - it's up to 1558 pages on a Word document... I also have the other bios on USB too, so let me know what you want and it'll be on its way! I do believe the Recon team still has places open, as does Rescue and Intervention. Everyone is welcome to jump aboard! But be warned - it is way too addictive to be good for you!

Now that is too true! I'm sitting here sipping margaritas and sewing, and every few minutes I'm clicking refresh to see what new update there is. Not sure how many more will come before bedtime. I think Garnet and SJ have gone to bed already. Becky's in Indianapolis for the weekend, luck girl! Maddy seems to have disappeared at the moment. Askura and FB aren't up yet most likely. So it's just Green and I at the moment. Damn, I need to get a life.

Thanks ladies for pointing me in the right direction!! There is lots and lots to read in that IF . . . and the sidebars, and the OOC . . . wow! So prolific! Might need to take you up on the offer of the word doc! I know all about gatchamaniacs sucking you in and getting you obsessively involved in things you never dreamed you would do . . . I barely managed to escape last time! I'm off to bed but will dream of birdstyle and a good way to entice Thunderbird . . . nice to meet you both

Maddy's off writing, I can assure you... Damn, that woman is talented *sigh* I currently have nothing... And I'm not sending my girl out without a chaperone.... Too many Rigans on base for her sanity. I'm just sitting here, hitting refresh and catching up on Facebook.... Damn thing is way too addictive...

same here and good night. As for enticing Thunderbird, just leave a nice note and a few hugs for him in the thread and if he doesn't get back in a week or so, send him a PM.

Mads is writing! Oh, goody, something to look forward to! Hopefully, I can stay up for it. If not it will be something nice for waking up with.

Well, I can't guarantee she's writing right now, but it's more than likely. She disappears and then BAM, she's back with something delicious! Nice to met you too, Gogirl!

Maddy has just finished writing and has posted. Nice to see you back GoGirl! If you PM Thunderbird, he'll get things underway for you. Green - you're on Facebook??? Please, please, please, PM me with how to find you so I can add you as a friend!! Then you'll also get Amethyst, SJ, Springie, Ste, Firebird and a number of the rest of us too!!

Maddy, your timing is just impeccable! That was hilarous, my sides still hurt... PM will be on it's way ASAP

nuff said

I'm rather proud of the timing myself!! As for writing - I usually have the outlines of a post floating around in my head at most times - sometimes they come off, sometimes they don't! GoGirl - we're about to go on a mission to rescue some girls, so it's likeley that if you want to join in, your gal could be one of the ones we rescue??

I guess I should say welcome back, GoGirl, but since I'm new, I'll say welcome instead. Yes, the IF is VERY addicting. I never sleep well the night before the Indy 500 and it took all my restraint not to get up during the night and see what everyone was up to. I'm off to catch up before a run off to a race-day party. I'll miss most of the fun today, but I'll probably catch up tonight or in the morning.

Hi Maddy Oooh yes yes yes! Write me in!!!! I better read faster . . . lots to get through on that epic IF . . . oh, and I guess I need a back story . . . ! My quiet holiday weekend just got busy!

And I will point out that GoGirl just posted another incredible chapter to her Breathe fic on ff.net... It blew me away! Literally! The Swan likes her explosives... Great to see you back here, GoGirl!

Welcome back, GoGirl!!! So glad that you're able to join us again! We've missed you!!!

I missed my Jersey-Soul-Sister and the Mistress of Smut!! RL has been kicking me, but summer is here and lots of time for fun and hanging out TJ thanks for the sweet words about my latest fic endeavors . . . I am still very shy about these things.

I can understand your feeling shy, but it really is a wonderful story!

Welcome back, GoGirl! It's so nice to hear from you again!!! You've been missed such a lot!!

ITA! Welcome back, GoGirl! Your latest chapter of Breathe is wonderful! I've been looking forward to an update! And you wrote that battle scene very well! I was on the edge of my seat!

thanks gatchmarie! it's good to be home and see everyone, springie thanks for your kind comments . . .! I was on the edge of my seat wondering what to do with them myself . . . thank goodness for SJ_SwanJun or we might all still be wondering

SJ does seem to be a perpetrator of repute..... If you do decide to IF with us, you'll find her ebilness apparent.

It's great to see you here again, Gogirl!

Gogirl! Its fanatastic to see you back here again.

Oh my ... are my ears burning?! LOL!! Hey GG ... Welcome the hell back, girl!! Have missed you muchly!! Oh, Breathe ... how I do so love that gorgeous piece of work!! I was just thinking this week how much I wanted more of that. And I get a mention for helping out?! SQUUUUUUEAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLL!!! Oh please, please, please, join our IF fun!! Don't listen to Mads ... I am not ebil at all. I am a good good good girl with no ebilness in me at all... Said as she plots the latest mischief -- this time against both Ame and BJ ... setting it up ... setting it up ... And I am NOT singing "In the Navy" ... :grin: Welcome back baby girl!!

Oh, SJ, the least you could be doing if you setting us up that way is sing the Marine hymn. Green, can my girl borrow a few of your knives? They are easier to conceal than my bat and sling.

Well, she's not got as many as she usually carries, what being overseas and off base and all, but you can take your pick of about twenty... Gogirl, did you want the IF file sent your way?

Howdy girls Great to see you all! Green, I would love the word copy of the IF . . thank you so much. SJ I adore you for all you do for me - from entertaining me with you wonderful fics to beta-reading my dribble and making it presentable and every smutty, bad girl thing in between
