Subject heading doesn't just refer to these forums, but fandom in general.
Hiya, I'm PlastronCafe, though most people online call me Bing.

I've been a huge fan of the turtles going back to the early 90s. Got hooked on the original cartoon when a boyfriend of my older sister's left one of the VHS tapes in over at our place. It was pretty much all down hill from there.

While I love the original cartoon, I have to say that my heart belongs to the B&W Vol 1 Mirage books. Aside from going to TurtleCon in 92, I haven't had a whole lot of involvement with fandom. By the time I got the hang of the web in college Turtles was in its Image days, and I couldn't support my comics habit on Work Study paycheck.

It wasn't until a about five years ago that I found myself digging out my comics, and that was in order to play Raph over at a pan-fandom rpg. Now I'm back to my "down hill" days.

Anyway, real glad to be here.
If anyone needs me, I'll be over....*smokebomb*
