I suppose there’s no sense putting off til tomorrow what you can plant today, as my Gaffer would say. I’m not very good with fancy words. I’m hoping you’ll not be taking any offense at my saying so, but I’d much rather be tending to the flowers on Bagshot Row than standing here in front of so many fine folk. But Mr. Frodo said I should introduce ( Read more... )

A warm (belated) welcome to Ilse, Emily, Daniel hey, feel free to drop by my hut anytime..., Draco JAILBAIT, Mercutio! Modern term that comes in very handy!, Philippe (are you really related to Raoul? Oh dear), Peter, Hazel, Basil, Maturin, Obi Wan (my, what an interesting name!

Hello everyone... I am Daniel Molloy, from Anne Rice's series of Vampire Novels. I was once reporter boy extrodinaire, but now I am a creature of the night like those I once interviewed. Unfortunately I do not see any of my kind here, but I do hope I will find some drinking buddies in this collection of interesting people. Perhaps some of you will ( Read more... )

*@!%&* You people are all so confusing and frustrating and grrr..... I don't know what else! If my friends Crabbe and Goyle my father certain other people were here you would all not dare to be treating me in this way!

I am Basil Hallward, of Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray. I am, in fact, the painter of the title picture, a fact that I've come to regret greatly.

As I have died and lost my muse, I spend most of my time making sad attempts at painting and feeling sorry for myself because a certain someone that I all but professed ( Read more... )

Good day to you. My name is Maturin. If you have heard of me at all it is doubtless in connexion with my particular friend Captain Aubrey; a gentleman and I use the word in its loosest sense calling himself O'Brian has taken the liberty of recording our joint adventures in twenty-one volumes of detail, no less.

Hello, friends. I'm Maurice Hall, of "Maurice", by Forster. I've a certain proclivity for buggery, as you may know. I'm a perfect gentleman despite this however--educated at prep school, then at Cambridge. I'm living proof that happiness *can* be yours, however hard you try to get away from it. Now talk.

I'm called Marlowe. My first name's Philip, but nobody seems to pay any attention to that. I think I may be dead now, though the details are fuzzy. Figured I'd stop in and introduce myself to the rest of you... whatever you are.

I'm a private investigator. I'm cheap, but I'm honest. Lot of good that's ever done me. My manners are bad, but if you ( Read more... )
