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

Greetings and Welcome to H2G2!

I'm Phoenix, one of the ACEs here on H2G2.com. I saw that you were new here, so I thought I'd stop by and make sure you know we're glad you're here.

Um, shooting me won't do very much, but you're free to try anyway. Bullets have a habit of evaporating by the time they reach my flames. Although, I've never found being sprayed with lead very pleasant. I prefer silver bullets, even though they're still not effective.

If you need any help finding anything, on the site or in the books, please feel free to ask. In the meantime, you might want to check out the following pages for more information on the site ......

Welcome to h2g2.com! You are most likely new here and find the site to be a bit huge and hard to get a handle on.

I wear a lot of different hats around the site, but one of my favourites is that of an ACE (Assistant Community Editor). The ACEs are a volunteer group which the site has asked to go around and greet newcomers and steer them toward a few of the places we feel should be highlighted.

This site is designed to become an interactive and updatable Guide to Life, the Universe and Everything (much like the fictional Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in Douglas Adams' books), the big difference is we're only seeking entries about good old planet Earth and its environs.

One of the first things you'll want to check out is the writing guidelines at http://www.h2g2.com/Writing-Guidelines These contain a wealth of ideas to get started writing Guide Entries of your very own.

Browsing the Edited Guide with the Search Engine can also be fun. I've been here for over a year and still do it from time to time - it's amazing what things people have written. One of my favourites is an amusing entry on "How To Pick Up A Porcupine - A Personal Perspective" at http://www.h2g2.com/A306361

Anyway, I hope that long rambling monologue was helpful! If you've got any questions, feel free to stop by my Personal Space at http://www.h2g2.com/U53353 and leave a message.

Hope to see you around the Guide soon! And welcome!!
