After a few technical glitches, I've finally gotten around to introducing myself to Gatchamania! (I haven't figured out if it's Galactor or that darned Zark that's to blame.) I've already inflicted myself on several of you via Gatchfanfic (nice to see you've recovered well!) I watched BotP as a kid, and I'd heard a little bit about the original Gatchaman a few years later, but I didn't think anything about it until I started collecting dvd's a couple years ago. A lot of my non-Gatch writings have appeared in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction (in case you're interested.)

Welcome ElectricWhite. Nice to see you join us here. Either Zark or Galactor could be to blame - or they might be working together. You are another published author !!! So nice to be able to meet you. I have read, and commented on, several of your stories at Gatchafanfic. I look forward to seeing more of your work. Please join any of the conversations, in any thread.

Welcome, EW! So glad you made it over here! Enjoy your stay!

Welcome to the madness EW! As for safe - nah. Never safe here. Pull up a chair - don't mind the dead goons. We clean them up at the end of each day, but they DO tend to pile up.

It's great to see you here, Electric White! I've certainly enjoyed your stories on gatchfanfic! You'll find many of us here who came into Gatchaman through BOTP.

Hello. Welcome to the group.

Welcome to the madness, I will have to pop over and have a read of some of your stories to jog my memory.

It's great that you've finally managed to join us here EW, I love your fics on gatchfanfic. No need to be shy, feel free to jump in any time you feel you have something to contribute, but it certainly helps if you are slightly mad to begin with!!!!

Hi EW!!!! Welcome!!!! It's great to have you here! Although this will seem like repeating what others have said already, I loooove your fics and I'm looking forward to reading your contributions to the challenges here (no pressure there, just saying...)

Welcome, ElectricWhite!

A warm , Electric White! It's so nice to have you here! Please do join in the conversations and, when possible, delight us more with your extraordinary writing talent!

Thanks for all the warm welcomes! It's going to be a little while before I'm jumping in as frequently as we'd all like -- I'm still learning my way around and catching up with everything!

Don't worry, we'll be able to help you catch up. If you have any questions, just let us know!

Thanks, TJ! Right now I'm getting caught up with your Thursday posts. Now, if I could just stop fainting whenever I read too many at once. . .

LOL, I hope that's a good thing! Normally it isn't a positive sign when people faint...

Well, the way I see it, either I just can't handle too much of a good thing, or 12 years of schooling at Our Lady of Perpetual Guilt Trips has been rearing it's ugly head! But I'm not about to let either one stop me!!!

Well, by entering the Rubber Room, you agree to be 'subjected' to such things.... So really, it's all your fault...

Oops. . . did I just let a little bit of my masochistic self show?

Don't worry, we won't tell....

EW, welcome! And think of it this way: We masochists perform a civil service; without us, the sadist would have to find unwilling victims.

Hi ElectricWhite! I saw your name pop up a couple of times on Gatchfanfic and I'm happy to see that you've made your way over here too! This is an awesome site ... enjoy your wanderings in it and hope to see you around the threads!

That made me think of a conversation I once heard -- MASOCHIST: Hit me! SADIST: No.

Why does that sound like the relationship between Katse and X?
