    Hey..

    It's odd, but based on my own personality I thought I would feel more like Rainbow Dash while joining this community, but now that I'm here, and always felt a certain discomfort for fandom in general, I feel a lot more like Fluttershy.

    I like music, and the only instrument I can play is my own voice. I don't think it's that bad a voice either. I'm also a big fan of video games and a lot of media in general. I feel video games are just starting to gain recognition as a form of artistic storytelling, and I'm proud to be a part of that process.

    I have never been part of a fandom before, and the few times I've come close, the hardcore fans always made me feel embarrassed enough to deny it... So this is a first for me.

    Again, I feel a bit shy, so please bear with me as I try to come into my own in this. I'll try my best to be the best I can be.

    Hey there, Storm Bolt! Love the name, by the way. Welcome to Everypony. Don't worry about the shyness part. I can totally relate to that. I'm exactly the same way. Based on what you've said so far though, I think you'll fit in just fine. Feel free to take your time and ease yourself into the fandom at your own pace. Once again, welcome, and I hope you enjoy your stay with us! :)

    Well howdy there Storm Bolt! Welcome to the herd! The name's HarleyCyn - but you can call me Harley! I hope you have a great time here at the Everypony forums, and I do hope you stop by the EPR chat room every once in a while! And I'm totally a Rainbow Dash/Pinkie Pie hybrid. Rainbow Pie? Pinkie Dash? I still don't know what to call that hybrid! Anyway, we'll help you come into your own! :D All you have to do is totally be yourself! ^_____^ We love new peoples!

    *offers a cupcake of magical friendship* ^_^ Welcome again!

    Hey, welcome to Everypony!

    You're spot on, this is a friendly, loving and understanding community, and I promise everyone here looks forward to hearing from you.
    I understand what you mean about the hardcore fans of a fandom making you embarrassed, I've been there a few times myself. But here, everyone is so welcoming, so I doubt any problems like that will pop up.
    I share your opinon on video games too, about them being a mode of artistic story telling. But hey, there's probably loads more you have in common with other bronies here too!

    Hopefully, you'll have no issues calling yourself brony after coming here. You'll be wearing pony shirts in public in no time at all!

    So don't be shy, be yourself, and most of all, have fun!

    Hi. Welcome to the site and community. Indeed, as people above me stated, it's pretty welcoming and friendly here, so you needn't worry. Though I can also relate with you on the shyness, I too am quite shy. But just ease into it and I'm sure it'll become easier for you to open up and such. :) And I can agree with you on some video games being a mode of artistic storytelling. Though I can find something artistic in a lot of things. XD Here, have a welcome muffin! I hope you enjoy it here with us and I hope to see you around more. :smile:

    There is absolutely nothing wrong about being like Fluttershy, Storm. I am very much like you, having never really joined a fan base, but this one is so unique that it's almost miraculous. I can assure you that you'll never meet a more decent, friendly, and even loving group of people here (even if we are all insane), so there's no need to be worried about fitting in because you already do. I'm quite looking forward to hanging out with you, so stick around and just be your pony-loving self! *hands out welcome cupcake*
