Hi all,
Here is the e-mail I propose to send to our list of recruits from other boards/sites.
I'll probably do something different for those from the RKMB.
Anyhoo, what do you all think? Should I add something else, leave other stuff out???
Ta!
Brit

<Insert name of poster here - inoph> is going about their daily business, when suddenly a portal opens above them.
<inoph> hears a yell of distress....
Agggghhhhh!!!!!!
...and looks up to see a body hurtling towards him/her.
<inoph>: Eek!
<inoph> side steps out of the way, just as the hurtling body falls out of the portal and lands in a heap on the ground.
*thud*Man on ground: oof.
<inoph>: Are you OK?
Man: [slowly getting to his feet] Yes... ow... thankyou... eek... everything's... ooo.... under.... ah.... control...
<inoph>: Oh good. I'll see you later then.
Man: Wait <inoph>!
<inoph>: Hey! How do you know my name? Who are you anyway?
Man: How do you do, allow me to introduce myself. I am Britannica - the Superhero Librarian...
<inoph>: Hey, if it's about that overdue book...
Britannica: No. No. I'm not here for that.
<inoph>: Phew...
Britannica: I represent a team of heroes called the JLR...
<inoph>: The JLR!?! Huh?
Britannica: The Justice League Reality. We handle the real cases no other superhero team will touch. Mail masters of Mayhem and their Evil US Postal Worker-type Minions, Giant Paper Golems, evil doppelgangers, psychotic bunnies, unruly narrators, teammates gone mad. You know how it is...
<inoph>: Uh... yeah... sure...
Britannica: Anyhoo, I have travelled from my message board, the Rob Kamphausen Message Board, to speak to you. I've been following your exploits...
<inoph>: You've been stalking me!?!
Britannica: No! No.... well maybe... just a little... okay, yes. But it's OK, I'm married!
<inoph>: And that makes it better, you pervert?
Britannica: Look this isn't what you think. A few of our members have disappeared. And a few more aren't returning our calls. My teammates and I have seen your work and think it's great. So I've come to ask you if you would be interested in becoming a member of the JLR?
<inoph>: So now you're spaming me!
Britannica: Look, take these...
Britannica hands <inoph> several weighty tomes...
<inoph>: [reading the titles]
JLR: In the beginning... (A.K.A.: Can I Be In The Justice League, Too? -- From the DC Comic Message Board)The Justice League Reality - Message Board JLR: The Convention Adventure JLR War (unfinished, but we're getting there... honest)
JLR: The Wedding (Britannica's solo adventure, featuring the JLR) (work in progress)
JLR vs the CSF! (current storyline of choice)
Britannica: These are records of our exploits. Have a read through them, if you like what you see and think you're up to the challenge, leave a message on our
JLR Talk Thread and we'll arrange to pick you up.
Britannica uses his Information Gateway Ability to open another portal.
Britannica: Anyhoo, got to run. Hope to hear from you soon! Ta!
Britannica steps into the portal, quickly popping his head back out...
Britannica: Oh, and just one more thing... While the JLR are a PG group (just the occasional cuss or intimate situation), some areas of the
RKMB do contain adult content, so if you are easily offended or underage, I do not recommend you come over. Ta again!
And with that Britannica is gone.
<inoph>: Hey, what about the dental program!?!
