Hello @miles101 and Welcome to Hive.

It is a pleasure to meet you. We only accept stories in the Ink Well. However, I was so impressed with your eloquent introduction that I upvoted you from my personal account. I will reblog your post so that it appears on my feed. This way you may have more visibility with this introduction.

Here is a link to our Manifesto, which will give you a good idea of the rules here, and the culture at Ink Well.

I look forward to reading your stories.
