Hi there, everyone. I figured I should say hi and introduce myself. I'm Katie (or Thumper), and I'm the author of the Corona Squadron stories shown above. TF pointed me over to this site and these boards, and here I am. I just got Rebellion in the mail today (*happy*), and the timing couldn't have been better with a three-day holiday weekend here in the U.S. You'll be seeing more of me on the boards now as I try to figure this game out. I'll be the first to admit that I'm clueless about capital ships, but I'm hoping Rebellion will help me with that or at the very least give me a basis to ask halfway-intelligent questions about them. Once that happens, I can go back and fix all the capital ship stuff in my stories, so if you read them, just smile and nod for now when you get to those parts. In the meantime, today I posted a new revision of one of my stories ("How to Handle Yourself"). It's the same story that was posted there previously, I just tried to make it smoother, more descriptive and easier to read. If you're interested in seeing the newer version, it's available on the website, or you can PM me for the file. If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions for improvement with any part of any of these stories, I'm more than happy to hear them. PM, e-mail, carrier pigeon...I don't care. Actually, my cat might like the carrier pigeon option... I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you, as well as learning all about this big, new, mysterious world of SW:R. -Thumper
