Hello, fellow Inklings, Pip here. Lately, as you probably might have noticed, there have been some things going on in our community of writers that have caused heartache, flaring tempers and some adjustments that not everyone was happy about. Things have somewhat settled down now, but I come to you with an announcement. Our dear Jack Lewis is currently unable to have acess to the internet, and in the meanwhile Jane Austen has taken her place as commander and leader. I know some of you may not like me very much for the havoc I began with the expression of some things I was going through; I ask humble forgiveness, I love you guys all so very much! Thus, to "redeem" myself and to show my apology in a more helpful manner, Jane and Jack agreed that I could become one of the commanders for the Inklings. This means that I will help oversee the conduct in the chat box, try and help anyone who wants to become a new member, and answer any questions you might have about the way Inklings works. I will do my best to handle this responsibility with patience and skill. You may all be thinking "Oh great, now the Dungeon and tyranny and miserable times ahead!" But no, dear Reader, R.K. will have no part in this leadership role. Rest easy about that.

That said, I would like to post some guidelines. These aren't rules, but ways you can make this new position for me effective. If you have a problem or if someone has offended you, please don't start ranting and raving in public, like on chatzy. PM me and I'll help you work it out. Jane (dixiefiddler) is also always there if you need help. I'm trying, though, to make it easier on her because she's helping Jack, so think of my position as one of a little less equality than Jack's, her being the creator of the Inks. You can reach me by email or PM, whichever you're more comfortable with, with questions and concerns. I pledge to do my best in helping you.

May God bless you all, and may He guide your hand with His pen!
