h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hello, I'm your friendly local <./>ACE</.> (Which stands for assistant community editor) the welcoming commitee for h2g2 . So, <./>Welcome</.>!
I'm a real person, not a machine, so I can help you and if you find that you have a question. For instance, if you want to know what to do with a piece of writing you've just cooked up, I'd be happy to help you with that. No question is too big or too small.

There are lots of things to do on h2g2. Try clicking on some of the links below to find your way around .

- Some of the talking forums around here include <./>AskH2G2</.>, <./>GamesRoom</.> and <./>MiscChat</.>. Stop by and join in the discussions if you fancy.

- Some of the slang thrown around the forums of this site can be rather confusing, but it's all defined at A754490

- If you need a general introduction, you can find it at <./>Dontpanic-tour</.> and A719840

- Browse the Edited Guide at <./>C889</.>. The Edited Guide is for non-fiction entries, which must fit into the Writing-Guidelines. That isn't to say they're boring though. There's a lot of humor in them and many of the entries are very interesting. Newer entries can be found on the <./>FrontPage</.> and at the <./>month</.> page.

- - If you want to help further our dream of a strong, interesting Guide by writing such an entry, please read over the Writing-Guidelines. When you're ready to submit an entry, let me know and I'll help you to the best of my abilities.

- If fiction or general creative writing are your field, then you'll find yourself at home at the h2g2 Alternative Writing Workshop - <./>RF5</.>. The h2g2 <./>UnderGuide</.> and other group collect quality entries from there to show them to the world.

- Another good place for the reading and writing of creative works is <./>ThePost</.>

If you have any questions, just click 'Reply' and I'll do my best to help you I'm fairly experienced around these parts, so there's a pretty good chance that I will at least be able to answer a question or ask someone 'in the know'. I hope, anyway.

Lastly, remember that the most important thing is to enjoy yourself.

hey jodan

thanks for sending me a welcome and help with the site - suddenly the screen found a human heart, and now I've got to follow the beat! -

haven't a clue what to do, but this site inspires one such as I (poet type, word painter - music as word, word as music etc) so I think I'll find my way - can I get back to you if I lose my ticket?

Of course
If you're a poet, artistic type, you may want to submit your stuff to the AWW <./>RF5</.>

I don't know who you are, but I feel pretty small
right now and if you can do anything to allay any of my fears then please let me know soon. DPN

dear unseenworrier

fears? hope I didn't bring on fears in you? I'm just a newcomer travelling backwards through this site (see my intro which I've written now) - I'm a nervy swervy poet, a wordpainter ...only learned computer six months ago, hope I can swim in h2g2 waters -

I love writing - fears? - the poetry of fears - I have been afraid every day of my fifty years, that's why I'm an artist - I live in quivering, magnificent fear of the awesome wonder of the great creative spirit which could eat me dead before breakfast if it wanted to, but I'll just keep writing poems to it -

just checked your writing - hope that's what we're supposed to do - wow - you are an interesting unseenworrier - so I'll go back to your writings when I have more time (I share my computer with one who does his work on it, so we have to fight for time ...)

please speak to me of your fears ....
