Hard Facts Community

We have a lovely new member today, Anhvil, whom I'm pretty sure is from FF. net

S/he would be our first member from there (I think!) so gets a specially warm welcome. I hope you post, we are very friendly, just jump in any topic, or start one of your own if you would like

(Any newish members who didn't get a welcome like this, only just thought of it!

Welcome Anhvil So nice to have you here!

I actually think we have at least one other member from ff.net: Kuwpp

Ahhh I didn't realise Kuwpp was from FF !

Some do join and don't post, which is fine, sometimes people just like to lurk a bit, which they are welcome to do. But obviously it's nice if they want to join in!

Hi everyone ! I’m anhvil (she/her) and it’s nice to e-meet you all. Thank you so much for welcoming me and I am from ffnet, although I am just a lurker/reader there. North & South is one of my favourite novels of all time and I always love reading more about the dynamic of ODC Margaret and Mr. Thornton. It’s really nice to find a community where I could talk about them more.

Hello Anvhil! so glad to see you here! I agree with every word of what you said there. I love North and South so much.

We love READERS, nothing pleases us more than that there are people out there reading our stories, so you are very welcome

Welcome anhvil!
We're so pleased to have you! As Merry already said, we love readers! If you have any fanfic ideas you would like to see realised, feel free to share them anytime.
Us writers are always looking for inspiration.

Looking forward to discussing all things N&S with you!

Hello y’all! I stumbled here from AO3 and thought this community sounded delightful! I’m a reader/writer and hardcore North and South enthusiast. Lost my mojo the last 2 ish years due to world events and the nature of my job but as things settle down I’m looking for encouragement and inspiration! Hopefully I’m not intruding here, I just really adore N&S and anything slightly adjacent.

Hello everyone! I'm ElizaG1 on FFN and AO3. I've been a little disconnected from the fanfiction sites recently for many personal reasons, but I saw this community was started, and it seems like a nice place to connect full of many writers I have been admiring from afar! I do hope to read more of everyone's stories soon and connect with you all if you don't mind me!
Also excuse me while I try to remember how to use forum like this! It's a welcome throwback lol.

Welcome ElizaG1!!

So glad to see you here. I hope you enjoy the forum. We love our conversations. Please join in!

I've enjoyed your stories on AO3.

Welcome, ElizaG1. I'm NorthandSouthart in Twitter and Instagram. Glad to see you there. Enjoy our forum. Hope you'll like it!

Welcome ElizaG! It's so exciting always to see a new member!

Pitch in anywhere, or post a new topic if you have anything North and Southish you'd like to discuss with us eager fans!

TO ALL NEW Members - we have a lovely topic called 'Where are we all from' where, if you are so minded, you can name your country and area vaguely and post a pic of your lovely scenery, be it city or field. There are some GORGEOUS pics in there from various Millers! and we would love to see yours!
