STEPHEN FRY

*Waving* Hello from Long Beach, CA.

Hello everyone!
I joined this forum quite a while ago but have so far just been lurking. I am a Canadian university student studying English and creative writing. I am a huge fan of Stephen Fry and am now completely addicted to watching QI clips on YouTube (it's really becoming quite a problem ) I joined this site for some inspiration and writing/life advice, because university appears to have sucked all creativity out of me and I find myself, despite my best efforts, completely unable to write. This isn't a situation I'm enjoying being in, and I hope that being part of a great community like this will help pull me out of my rut. Nice to meet you all and hope to see you around

Hello everyone. Samuel in Texas, here. I was first introduced to three (now) favorites in the BBC "Jeeves and Wooster" series, and I am glad to say I am still a fan of Mr. Fry, Laurie, and Wodehouse. I write online fiction (as a hobby) and go to school (psychology major). I, too, derive a great deal of enjoyment from listening to Mr. Fry in anything he has ever done, partly because I am something of an Anglophile, but also because as an intelligent gay man I am glad to see there is another one out there. (Yes, I know there are probably many intelligent gay men out there, but I've only met two of them in my entire life, and I'm 39!). Anyway, it has occurred to me that we are probably serving in some capacity as enablers for the aggrandizement of Mr. Fry's hubris, so I shall make it short. Anyway, I am glad to see I am certainly not alone (not like that was ever a concern, I assure you), and I will be checking the forums occasionally to see what new conversations are being made and hopefully get involved in.

My name is Jay. I live in the NYC area. Until recently, I never heard of Mr. Fry. I have been watching some of his stuff on youtube, and can't get enough. I figured it would be interesting, and fun, to "hang out" in this forum and broaden my horizons.

Hi All,
I'm not quite sure when I recognised Stephen Fry as fellow traveller but I like to think that it was when he announced he preferred Thomas Hardy's poems to his novels. I thought I was the only person in the universe who felt that way.

My English secondary & tertiary education inflicted a series of Hardy novels on me (Mayor of Casterbridge, Return of the Native, Tess and Jude). I cringe as I recall the tragedy hinging on finding a piece of paper on a path (Return) and the absolute wearisome blackness of Jude.

Anyway, looking forward to catching up with some news about Stephen Fry and to communicate with others who enjoy sharing this world with him.

PS Or perhaps it was his appreciation of Alistair Sim....

I've just realised I've started posting incoherent drivel without introducing myself first. How rude.
Hi, I'm Jananals. I'm at Uni in Tasmania, hoping one day to be a neuroscientific researcher. I enjoy knowing stuff about things. Hence, QI is well and truely my poison. But I also love Kingdom, Jeeves and Wooster, Blackadder, Last Chance to see, and all other Stephen Fry related entertainment.
I feel kinda barge-inesque posting already. If anyone agrees, please tell me to calm the fudgcicles down. I wanna meet awesome people, not annoy them.

Nice to see so many new people (and one returning person) posting. Hope you all find your way around the forum and enjoy it.
Pookah, you must have read The Fry Chronicles. I loved reading about Stephen in University.
Welcome Kay114. I don't personally have the clock, but I think several people on the forum have it and like it. I understand he also soothes you to sleep as well?
Jananals, not barging in at all. We love enthusiasm, and I am sure you aren't talking drivel. Neuroscientific research, wow! Good luck.
Hi ScarletCorvus, I don't think I was here when you were here, but welcome back. Hope you feel at home.
