Hello, I'm new. I'm not in tune to the world so someone tell me what's going on. (You know, like, for the overall site. Jerry's really helped though)

Well I"ll see what I can tell you. First of all welcome, by all means pull up a comfy chair. Bart would invite you to have some tea, which is nice, but a cold pop or better yet a latte will do. The biscuits are always fresh, as are the cookies for us Yanks.

The members of this site span the globe. We come from many different backgrounds and age groups. We all love Harry Potter. We all praise our wonderful hostess, Imogen and her fabulous writings. She has graciously invited other talented authors to share her space which has been known to turn pink from time to time. It is here on the boards that we get to know one another, offer advice, listen, vent, gently tease, share new discoveries and ideas and above all procrastinate , all in a friendly, respectful and polite manner.

As for what's going on, well I'd suggest reading through the threads and you will catch on in no time. As for who we all are I would direct you to scan through this thread and read our profiles. Many of us have written them at some time or another.

Once again welcome. Don't hesitate to PM me if you have questions or just want to chat. Be patient for replies. I sometimes get busy at home.

Glad you've joined us,
Hershey
