Hi everyone!

One thing I couldn't help but notice lately is the fact that the number of new members keeps going up (and yes, the data geek in me checked - growing at a faster rate than any time since September, though not by a lot).

So, for all you new members out there, I'm curious. Are you:

* New to LuRe (and if so, how did you discover them and how much of the storyline have you watched)?
* An ATWT fan from before the show ended, but just finding LuRe/this site now (and if so, why now?)
* A long-time lurker who's just joining/delurking?
* None of the above?

And are you US-based or overseas? I'll volunteer that I'm a 40-something American living in the UK, who watched ATWT (and GL) for 20-30 years. The L&R story caught my eye in recaps and I started watching on YT and was hooked (or "LuRed in" as the case may be).

At any rate - welcome! It's a great community you've joined. :grouphug

Just thought I'd jump in here, just saw this!

I'm kind of new on this board, I'd been lurking for a couple of months but I just had to comment on some of the amazing fic here recently.

I randomly found Luke and Noah a year ago while looking up QAF stuff. Watched all of their story on Youtube (some parts were pretty painful, though). I'd follow Luke and Noah kind of randomly, I'd jump onto LukeVanFan's channel just see what was happening when I had time, but they were pretty boring for a while, so I'd see what was happening every two weeks (the whole blindness thing was pretty overkill for their relationship, I had no idea why they even wanted to be together by that point). I got interested when Reid was introduced though-I just loved his character from the get-go. And loved loved loved the chemistry between Luke and Reid. I never watched ATWT, I'd just watch on YT for Nuke and then LuRe. Jumped onto AnthonyLangford's channel to watch LuRe clips later though! A little more welcoming there.

Can't remember how I found this site-maybe from the Gays of Daytime Proboards, or AfterElton?

My name shows where I'm from!

Great supportive forum here. Really enjoying it.

Welcome fellow Canucks - better late than never. Going back to ATWT for the LuRe SL has been both a curse and a blessing. Sometimes I wished I never went back and followed through with the SL - it was just too painful. But, this place has been amazing and the fanfics helped erase the terrible ending for LuRe (let alone how they just destroyed a show that was once great). Anyways, I have never really cared for N. Hated Luke with him (there has to be chemistry, and they never had it IMO). Luke with Kevin (yes), Luke with Brian (yes), Luke with Reid (yes, lastly and forever).
