Welcome to the fantasy forums! Thanks for introducing yourself, too.
There are a lot more posts in the other forums (this one is pretty new, actually).
We go through phases, it seems. Sometimes people post a lot, and other times people don't post at all. We're getting more members, though, and more lurkers every time. A lot of them just have busy lives for the moment, I think (such as Aquarius and Bloodstone).
Anyway, don't fret, though. If you post stuff you'll probably get responses. If you don't, just keep waiting—or, if it's been long enough you can bump it to remind us you're still waiting. I probably respond to at least 80% of posts—so it's nice when I see other other people responding, too (it does happen). Perhaps you could help out and respond to some yourself! :)
I like alternate universes. What do you mean by that, exactly, though? Do you mean ones remarkably similar to ours, or just different universes with humans and such?
