Welcome to the TMF!!! It`s great to have new people,especially people who will write stories! I`m sure you will enjoy yourself here as there is something for everyone.There are also plenty of friendly people,so don`t be shy!Enjoy your stay!
I wondered if someone would try to call me on that: the answer is yes. Because it was my first attempt at writing about an experience I'd had and because that experience was very special to me I found it easier to write in the third person. Sorry for the confusion - I should have made it clear.
