hello dearest carol...welcome! Jeanmarie...Tamiviolet and Mark Cotterman are all members here as well. I must warn you though....The Soup which I also love and will always be a part of ...is very kind and "cleaner". This site allows artist freedom in the ultimate sense....so when is says adult content or explicit...it really means it and they will tear you apart at will I have learned. I will however give you some people to start with reading whom I'm sure you'll love as much as me......Nihad-I think currently he's under the title " Reno Tonight, Sacramento Tomorrow"=but he changes it like every day (very romantic artist),Caroline Bloom (so wonderful you will cry), Gandre(very eclectic), and Bubo (but be warned your heart may break)...those are just a few. I hope you will post here as well the diversity between the two site I am finding is providing great reading and personally improving my work....All the best to you and yours-Love Julie.
