Hello Everyone! LB here. I just wanted to introduce myself to everyone and let you all know why I am here. First, I am a fully obsessed BotP fan and most recently a Gatcha fan. I have not thought about my favorite 70's tv show for well over 25 years. The images of G-Force and the Fiery Phoenix were well hidden away deep in my cerebellum. Then, one day, I accidently stumbled upon a BotP site by accident and something in me re-awakened. For the last 3 months, I have been obsessively scouring the internet for everything Gatchaman and BotP related. This is how I stumbled upon Fanfic for the very time and I feel like I have walked into a wonderful new world. I have searched high and low for Fanfic and felt that I had run out of resources, but then, I thankfully found this site! Phew! I hadn't realized there were so many out there like me...boy do I feel relieved! Anyway, I have written some of my own Fanfic. My favorites are the angst pieces about Ken and Jun (Mark and Princess) Mark was my very first crush ( blushes). His boy scout image had me from hello. Now, that I am a little bit older though, and like most, I am drawn to the ''bad boy image''. Joe / Jason seems to be growing on me more and more.... In any case, I just want to say that I am so happy to be here! Hello to you all!

Hello. The Ken-Joe change seems to be very likely amongst female Botp-Gatch fans. Interesting. *scribbles in official-looking notebook* Please feel free to post your fanfics on the site. We love reading them. I'm glad to be the first to welcome you! Yay! Watch out for the new-member frisking team, though they seem to be scattered after the new site update. They'll be back, though. Just be careful, and you should be ok. Anyways, here's your welcome bouquet:

Thank You Elvin Ruler for the warm welcome... * accepts lovely flowers, puts them in vase. Shooes Kitty away from trying to snack on them * I would love to share my Fanfic with everyone. I guess it's only fair. Warning: I am very new at it and have only attempted Songfic. Several angst songs have inspired me to write about Ken and Jun. Frisking Team? * glances around nervously * Thanks for the warning. Again happy to be here!

The only way to get better is to have people read your stuff. People here are very nice to newbies, don't worry. ^_^ Hope you enjoy your stay so much that you do like me and ignore all of the stuff you really need to be doing and just post on the internet in long, complicated sentences with little to no punctuation. *evilimu* 'Scuse me. Just a little tired. Should be doing homework...oh well. ^_^ Who needs college? Anyways, welcome again.

Hello! Lolabella! Welcome to join us! You know, by reading your first self-introduction post, I can almost see myself of a year ago. I'm maybe a bit luckier that I almost found the original "Gatchamania" right away back then. We have so much in common (well, except for my steadfast obsession with the Eagle all the time!) Be sure to go through everything (exp. the IF in the old forum) and don't be surprised to find yourself become addicated to all the excitements here. And, also, BE VERY VERY CAREFUL, you might lose your sanity very soon, just like I did. And... You have your own fanfics? How wonderful! Do share them with us, PLEASE! Mei

Im not one of the frisking commitee, Im, um, not very good at it, having claws and feathers and feathermites. I have a lot of fic, `somewhere` they were on the old site, which seems to have dissapeared. Whats the point of me writing fic if your going to lose them, Cep??

If you go to the portal screen you'll see a link to old forums on the left, Tengu, which seems to still have everything in it. Hola Lola!

Hello Lolabella! *frisk frisk* Glad to see a new face! I'm new beleive it or not hehe, oo she has kitties!! Yay! I think you'll fit right in .......*wonders where Imi is*

Stop...Stop CEP! * gasps for air* I am very ticklish! * Waves to everyone* Thanks all for the Welcome! It means alot! Mei: thanks for hug. Yes we do have much in common...as well as The Eagle...in my hobbies, I listed 'daydreaming about Ken'. Luv him! Tengu: Would love to read your fic! Tried to access it on the LeFanfics site, but I was never emailed the password. Meridianday: Buenas Dias! Huge fan I am! To all, I will tighten up my Fanfic and post the first one ( hopefully this afternoon). I hope I can learn alot from all of you great writers. BTW, where do I post? Boss is gone today! Lots of time to read and write! Hee! I am already addicted to the site? Is there a cure? Do I really want one?

is it the fanfic forum? I can't remember, oh well nm I eagerly await your fic *frisks more*

Ooh, where's the writer's block gone?

none on the lefanfic as yet, I am having password trouble. Ill repost on the writers block. do you want the clean ones first or the...?

The writers block.....err...its where its always been

Which is...where? I can't find it. Ack!

Eh...uh......found it.

*giggles evily*.......oh....err.....*ahem*.... yes always

*stares at Cep* You just put that there didn't you? I just managed to check right before and right after. Or am I going insane? Er...more insane... Naughty, naughty, shouldn't make Elvin go crazier. Have to teach you a lesson, now don't we? Edited because I can't spell thwak. >.<

owwy owwy owwy.........

That'll learn ya.

From Tengu

do you want the clean ones first or the...?

Since I am feeling frisky ( must be all that frisking) ... hows about the non-clean ones?

Speaking of unclean fics, where would the Rubber Room be these days? Not that I'm, um, you know, looking on purpose or anything. Just, ahem, curious, you know, that's all....

It was one of two forums that I didn't end up transferring cos of erm..........I dunno. *awaits retribution*

Hello Lolabella! Great to have you on board! Tengu--we always want your naughty fics. You're one of the few that shares my nasty thoughts--and writes them down! Cep--please, take down the bittorrents forum and put up the rubber room in its place. It was meant to be password protected to keep sensitive people from viewing the adult material. It's up to you what type of security you might want to add to it. For me, all I've ever asked is that members post warnings (ie. "Includes violence, heter/homosexual relationships, etc) if they're posting any fictions that have it. But in the Rubber Room--anything goes. Katse

*gasp* KA-atse... Think of the *children*! What happens if they manage to stumble across this forum and *read* this stuff? Won't their young, innocent mindsets be scarred for life? Shame, Katse, shame. Heh, just kidding. Seriously, if someone doesn't have the brains to realize that, with the warnings on the fic outside of the Rubber Room and everything, they don't want to read that stuff because it offends them, then they're stupid. Period. As far as *inside* the Rubber Room, well, we know though they must secretly enjoy reading it, they want to spout off on how wrong it is. Kind of like all of the parents who bought all the Pokemon stuff so they could burn it, not realizing that Nintendo was still getting a profit. Duh. Hello, if people don't like reading it, then they shouldn't choose to read it. *gasp* What a concept!

stumbles into this thread, rubbing eyes and looking somewhat grumpy. its rather obvious that lyon has just woken up and has not had her first cup of coffee. hola lola .. grin, yeah, i just hadda say it. i sort of found gatch the same way you did which argues that its not such an uncommon thing. surfing the net, zigged when should have zagged and got sucked into the quicksand. admit first off that Ken / Jun (Mark / Princess) is not MY favorite combination but can save that argument for another year when i wake up. don't wanna terrify anybody on first acquaintance if i can help it. so ... welcome. all the old fics and IFs (interactive fictions) are archived on the old site - if you have a few days you want to lose, can always go searching through the writer/artist threads archived there.

Speak of the long nosed winged devil...I have posted one of my very nastiest.... (gives her worst smile) Katse, this is one of my older stories, I trust you have seen it? To the Writers Block, gang!

Oooh. *runs off to the Writers Block* I wanna see, I wanna see!

*Rings up the hospital to see if Elvin is recovering after viewing the fic.* Smirk...Only the truly wicked minded and strong willed possessing one heck of a severely twisted sense of humour can appreciate Tengu's genius.. Tengu should have warned ya...LOL! Ah...speaking of warnings.. Ello...ello..ello? What have we here ?..another Jun fan?..A Mark/ Princess fanatic eh? Dayum Im a sucker for green eyes.. *Dips Lolabella and grinwinks* Yep youve come to the right place..allow me to show you to the Frisking Room where you can be somehow cured of your swoonfaints over Mark..Mark Mark.... *locks Frisking Room door and proceeds " Dekeninising " Lolabella* It will be a delight to open your eyes to other BOTP couplings.. . Enjoy your stay Lola.. hey.. you can make it your mission to try and influence many to the charm and beauty of Mark/Prin romances.. Now wheres that Rubber Room again? Evil EVIL Grin.. hehe..

Eh, it was a *little* odd for me, but I found it humorous (ooh...big words...). What were you trying to write with that one word? It turned into a smiley. Hmm...your smiley usage may be too small, thus your posts are transforming them. Better be careful, or the aliens will get you.

Goddamn highjacking smilie! *fiddles* ah thats better

I can live quite happily without smilies they are a pain in that anatomical part that features so prominently on the Bird Go! site, its easier without them.

What was that? S-smilies are...b-b-bad? This...this can't be. All I live for...is...is a lie? No! It's...it's not true! Tell me it isn't true! *sniff* I'm gonna use smilies anyway!

*walks along the stage reaching the mike, smiling at the audience while holding a sealed envelope..* Ladies and Gentlemen, we now have reached the most anticipated moment of tonight, The Smilie Grammy Award for Emoticon Excellence.. The Nominees are : < at this point Tengu interrupts proceedings, waving a "Ban Smilies..they are evil " banner..there is a small commotion as bouncers swoop on tengu, dragging her kicking and screaming out of the packed theatre > *coughs tapping microphone assuming professional smile again..** Im sorry for the technical glitch...The Nominees are: Firebird for her constant Use of Smilies and in finding the rare ones.. Cep for his award winning short story in smilie form .. and Elvin, for expressing herself in every post since registering via smilies..and taking the time to find even the rare ones.. And the winner is..... *leans closer to microphone..booming out with a smile..* ELVIN.!!! *camera pans to frozen smiles on Ceps and Firebirds faces as Tengu screams in outrage then cuts to Elvin.......*

lyon obligingly starts humming the theme to Miss America, hands Elvin a bouquet of geraniums and dandelions, wraps a rhinestone-and-sequin studded belt around her head, thrusts a Moon Kaleioscope Rod in her hands (batteries removed so that the thing doesn't go off prematurely) and thrusts her down the walkway. go baby, go!

*sniff* I'm so happy! *ahem* First of all, I'd like to thank the academy Second, I'd *love* to thank all of my ADORING fans here at the board. I love you all! Thank You! Thank you! You really love me! You really LOVE me! *tears up*

*picks up Elvin from the Floor after Sally Field upsides the poor elf with her own Grammy ..* I think you should have gone with the Madonna / Britney Spears Kiss instead of that acceptance speech.. Would have at least given Lolla something to capture on camera.. either that or wear a dress made from American express cards!.. LOL

*Members gasp as Elvin has a Wardrobe Malfunction* *snickers* Got in on camera for you Imi!

*sits smiling innocently* Now I wonder how that happened?

Er...complete accident. I did not plan that at all, even though I was seen rehearsing it. Honest, it wasn't supposed to go that far. Guess no Super Bowl half-time show for me, eh?

*Buffy tiptoes around in the background unnoticed taking photos like the perv she is. When she is clear of the insanity on stage, she hides her camera in her trench coat and grins at Lolabella* Hi! Welcome! So glad you are here! Please feel free to partake and share! Smooch!

Rehearsals and a little help from an Imicondor maybe?
