Modly Side: Hmm...I think this is better suited for Professor Binn's Library. *moves*

Ah...why did I sign up as opposed to how I found this place...very good question.

*goes through reasons*

--Not the first reason, because I found the fanfics after I found the forums.
--Bored? Eh...maybe.
--No friend told me to come here, although I have told some of my friends to come here.
--The gallery wasn't even up yet when I joined.
--I was still extremely shy about my writing, so that's definitely not the reason.
--I can't draw worth a d***.

So, not using the "other" option, I guess I'd just have to say that I was a normal HP fan looking for a place to discuss my favorite ship. I had never joined a forum before, but I'm glad that I made this one my first, because it's been a blast and I love it here.

Seriously, there's no better place than PK.

I joined because I felt that with all the post-HBP gloom PK might need a crazy optimist-type person to help keep the faith. Plus I'd been wanting to join for months and I figured that this was as good a time as any.

Hehe. That's exactly backwards. I joined because of the fanfiction, and I found the forums later, which have taken a bigger foothold as of late. Anyway, I can't wait to see the results of this poll as it gets more mature.

And green eyes, you say you're from Canada's Venice. Is that P.E.I., by chance, or are you on the other side?

EDIT: Dumb tags. . . .

I chose "other" just because I don't really remember. I joined 2 years ago and I totally forgot I was even a member until about a month ago.. so yea.

[MDiezeL]

i signed up for portkey because of an essay i read in TLC which then lead me to the HHr vs HG forums here in Portkey. I think my first post here was in that forum section.

I chose 'Other,' so now, let me get started on this long-story-short.

Anyway, I was looking for a place to find some more fanfics, and I just kinda stumbled onto PK. That same day I went under 'Talk,' and found the forums. I kept going for the next couple of days, reading the theories, the challenges, the posts, and being the talkitive person I am, it was EXTREMELY hard for me to read and not join into the fun, and so the rest was history...

It took me a while to figure out how to join, (this is the first site I've joined, and I'm glad it's my first too, PK rocks!! ) but I eventually joined under the username, Harmony4ver, then, about a month later, I decided to have it changed to Elektra, since I always liked that name better than my real one, but someone already had that name, curses. So I came up with Panther, since I wanted something simple that held a special place in my heart. Panther becuz I said somewhere else on PK that I'd wanna be a panther animagus, and I've always liked Panthers, so, there you have it.

Then, just a few days ago, I registered in the fanfic section under Amber Eyz, and soon afterwards, sent my author application.

*Anxiously awaits e-mail from the ficmods*

So there is my PK story. Hmm, right now I'm at around 190 posts, and I only joined a month ago, huh.

Anyone else???

Heh, my reasons are the same as green eyes. I've been lurking and thinking of joining for awhile. Except I came in search of those optimistic people to make me feel better after HBP. Because I'm certainly not one of them.

I found out about this throught my friend and I think she got it of ff.net

[Disciple of Yorae]

I remember when i first got into fanfiction back in december. I have this frined, quite frankly she is a bit creepy. she writes her own fanfictions and does illustrations for them but that are all slash and yoai not to mention bondage. (*shudder* it was so difficult looking through her sketchbook because you never knew when you would see one effeminate man tied up while being touched by another effeminate man.) so she told me about fanfiction. since Harry Potter was my only real fandom i just read that.

i started noticing these people saying. "in response to a portkey challange" or "what so and so said on portkey was really true". i had absolutely no idea what they were talking about. it wasnt until someone actually said something like "go to portkey.org " it was because of Half blood prince but dont exactly remember what. i cruised the forums and read some fanfics but it was like a week or two after that when i finally joined so that i could respond to a post here on the forums.
