Welcome To Storybrooke!

I guess you could say this is really the doing of The Miller's Daughter, although The Queen is Dead might be to blame as well. But I suppose I'm getting ahead of myself.

"This" is the "Welcome to Storybrooke" blog (and I'm still surprised the name was available), run by myself and my significant other/collaborator, for discussing our thoughts, speculations, ideas (and other miscellany) about the abc show "Once Upon a Time".

It is a place not just to lay down our thoughts, but to promote discussion and, I hope, community.

So why is The Miller's Daughter to blame? The Miller's Daughter is the episode that really introduced me to the incredible fan community the show has, and the amazing interactions, between fans and even fans and the cast.

After the cliffhanger "The Queen is Dead" episode left us with, I, like so many other "Oncers" was eagerly anticipating "The Miller's Daughter". To bide my time while I waited an entire week for it air, I found myself reaching out on the internet for information, clips, and really, whatever I could find to keep myself occupied. At this point, I was utterly entranced, throughly enspelled, and  maybe just a little bit obsessed with the show.
Among my internet wanderings, I came across the official Facebook and twitter feeds for the show, including mention that the cast would be "Tweeting" live during "The Miller's Daughter".

It was more fun than I anticipated, watching the cast of the show tweet their responses to the show as it played, and even more so, watching fans respond back, and interact with each other. Fans cheered and cried, confirmed theories and came up with new ones, together. The sense of community and interaction was as enjoyable as watching the show.

Later that night, discussing the show with my co-host as we always do afterwards, I found myself wanting to share our ideas and theories and thoughts and continue the conversations I had and experienced earlier in the night.

So, here we are.

It is my hope that our posts here start conversation and discussion among fellow Once upon a Time fans.  Let's share thoughts, hopes, theories. We may not always agree, but it's always good to see things from another point of view.

I'll also be posting news and Once Upon a Time related sites that I think are worth sharing. Spoilers will be warned against, so you don't have to worry about checking the site if you haven't seen the most recent episode.
