...well, I'm back.

I registered here years ago after the forum I spent most of my time on died (RIP irreality: you were more than I deserved). That forum was all about science and art and the occult, and I really loved it even though I was often a sock puppeteer and troll.

Anyway, I came to this forum because I was wanting to meet people of a creative bend, and of course I love Mr. (Master?) Ligotti's work a great deal. After signing up, I realized rather quickly that I wasn't ready to really work on my fiction in anyway beyond personal therapy, and that my membership here wasn't going to be of much benefit to its denizens. Very simply, I wasn't sure of what I had to offer, so I figured I'd better keep it to myself until I'd looked it over really well and knocked the worst of the dross from whatever "it" is.

So I did that...

Over the last month or so I've seen my personal creative drives flare in a way that I can only describe as miraculous, and my output is increasing in the most wonderful of ways. I don't know if this forum is thriving these days (its a bit on the labyrithian side...which reminds me that I ought to apologize if I'm posting this in the wrong area...I promise I looked around first), but I'm hoping there are some weird fiction scribes with hard-ons for the Western esoteric traditon running around here. If there are, I hope to provide and receive support as we endevour to manifest some combination of lingustic symbols into meaningful arrangements, with or without an intention or purpose.
 
"'Crummy little town' does not even begin to describe this desolate burg."

...well, maybe not exactly. The quote just instantly popped to mind with the mention of ghost town.
 
Everywhere I turn curtains ripple and window blinds reseal themselves with abrupt flickers, little gestures to remind me I am being observed. By whom or what, I have suspicions that slide toward hazy uncertainty the more they are considered.

Thank you folks for acknowledging me there: even though I'm relatively certain I don't exist, it still makes me a little uncomfortable to see it confirmed. :)

While I have you on the horn, do you know if there is there a preferred place to post original work for review/critiquing? Or any active groups that enjoy that sort of thing?
 
Thanks G.S. Carnivals! Are you aware of any active critiquing groups in this community? My astro chart says I do better in group efforts. ;-)

Also, for anyone interested, my profile has a link to my blog (ugh, now he wants us to read his blog?). Its devoted to my efforts toward creating and publishing fiction. So its sort of a running notification on failure and hardheadedness. Its on the contact tab. It says this: A thin place
