Welcome to the guild!
I love (potentially terrible) puns too! So, you're among friends. Or friend. But really, friends. Most people here are cool. I've basically not run into anyone who's like, overly aggressive or critical or outright mean. Some sarcastic people, yeah, but no one malicious really. So, hopefully you have a similar experience. The main variable is writing ability/level/quality, but we have sections for that. No one's perfect though.
