"You can say that again," she told him.
"I have a...."

I've been a luker on these boards for years and love them! Between the wonderful writing and great discussions, there really should be no reason for me to lurk. I guess I'm in the same boat as Chocoholic. Just a little nervous. There are so many stories that I want to comment on that I just might start now! wow, I think I've been de-lurked  Circus Girl

I've got one question for you all... Lurk? Wazzat? Don't think I've lurked ever, except for maybe a month when I first joined the fic list... Melisma (going back to... not lurking, really, just taking a little RL break, here under her Rock)
Do, or do not. There is no try.

If the topics don't interest me too much, I won't have much to say about it. Besides, my job affects my posting greatly. When I'm busy, I usually only have time to skim through the boards. I'll surface every once in a while, then go quient. Also, my English sxcks. For a native English speaker, this post takes what? 30 seconds? For me, it takes 5 minutes. Scary, huh?  It's a great disadvantage to post longer (and more insightful) arguments. Most time I just go lazy and avoid the trouble posting.

Just dropping by Hey everyone, thought this would be a relevant thread to me. I'm not a lurker on the net in general, but I am a LNC fic lurker. As a writer from other fandoms I know feedback is appreciated, but I like just to sift through old stories and read at my own pace etc. Also, I feel bad if I comment on some stories and not those of others...thus I LNC fic lurk *I'll be watching you* KATE

 okay okay, I guess I will post my first message. I've been lurking around LnC boards for almost 2 years and never posted. It started out that I wanted to get to know the atmosphere before posting. Then I thought it would be weird to just start commenting all of the sudden. Once you get into the habit of lurking it is difficult to come out of your shell. Plus everyone seems to know each other so well. It's like in middle school. You want to be part of the "in crowd" but you sure as heck don't want to risk making a fool of yourself by initiating the conversation! Anna (who is finally going to post! )

Anna, I do know what you mean; I've certainly seen that on other boards. But hey, you've delurked and said hi; all you have to do to get to know us now is to chat with us! And you've taken that first step. Welcome!!! 
Just a fly-by! *waves*

Hey Anna, Nice to see you! I know what you mean, I was one of those lurkers until not so long ago, as you've probably seen! And I haven't looked back! Loriel (glad that Anna decided to join the )

Yup, always nice to welcome a new voice. What I'm curious to know is this: why register and then not say anything? I mean, you can read everything on the boards without having to register, so why bother? Oh - is it so that you can read the nfic board? That would make sense. Or is it just in case you think you might get the urge to post, and won't want to wait to be registered? Yvonne (who suspects she pretty much answered her own question )

Oh - is it so that you can read the nfic board? Well, this was true in my case . I was reading Zoom's boards for a couple of months without being registered, assuming that the stories being posted to nfic would eventually be archived. And since I had no plans to post, why bother to register? But then I discovered that not all stories were archived at annesplace, so I registered right away. It was over a year later before I finally delurked. KathyM

As with most people, it's just plain fear. I only de-lurked myself a few days ago after six months or so of lurking. I finally figured, why not say something?  BTW, my name's Roger.
