Hail fair friends of Holy Worlds! Today is a day of celebration, and as such, we would like to open up a thread that tells us who was here for years later when we feel nostalgic. Come one, come all, and make your presence know by applying your mark.

I am Elizabeth Kirkwood, and I was here for the one year, one day, and one month anniversary/birthday of Holy Worlds Fantasy and the official opening day of Holy Worlds Sci-Fi! I am so excited about what is going on today! This site has greatly improved my writing during the few months I have been on. I have met other writers like me who are dedicated to writing for the glory of God, and have fun doing so. Thanks to Jay and everyone else who puts so much work into this site to help us grow.

I am Caleb, and I am so happy for this site. When I first joined I had only done a little bit of writing and wasn't very good at it. Still, I'm not very good at it, but I have heard many helpful tips and suggestions and am very grateful for the HW community. I have been glad to make acquaintances of you all here currently, and look forward to getting to know future members. Thank-you, brother Eruheran for inviting me, I've enjoyed it. Thanks Jay, MLs, and others. This forum is great. It has made a difference to me.

Hi. I'm Josh and I am present and accounted for at this said event (this is beginning to kind of sounds like a group therapy session ). Yay! By the way, I'm loving the new smilies. I'm just waiting for an excuse to use this one - -. Oh. I guess I just did.

Jenni Was Here. [insert smirk here]

And I refuse to use smilies in this post in an effort to be as mature as possible in this post for posterity's sake. Wouldn't do to be silly in front of my successors. Even though I really want to smile...

I love HW, and I hope to be here a long time more after this celebration. It's a great community to be a part of.

I, Varon, Chief Bard of King Gwerhem's Court, Headmaster of Windy Bluffs Bard School, and First lieutenant of the Order of the Ivory Horn was here on October 21, 2010. I found that it helped me think more creatively and be more original on my writing.

I am Abby, and I was here for the 1 year, 1 month, and 1 day birthday of Holy Worlds!

HW has helped me immensely in my writing, and has made me a little crazier.

And I just have to use this smiley before I end my post:

Carissa, otherwise known as Duchess Daisy, or The Editor, or a whole slew of other names that no one ever calls me (unfortunately... ), joined in the festivities of the one one one celebration here on Holy Worlds! I've been around since nearly the very beginning, and it's been great to see how we've grown. Hurrah for "slightly" crazy Christian writers!

Well, I'm eruheran, a moderator on this fair forum of Holy Worlds. I'm an extremely intelligent and talented writer who has published four best-sellers and is currently working on a fifth. Never mind. I'm a teenage writer who likes to pretend that some of the stuff I come up with is remotely good. Still, I really enjoy writing and Holy Worlds has definitely helped me to grow in this hobby.

I'm a man of many names; some know me by eruheran (most of you), a few know me as Uriah T. Weston on Into the Book, and very few (in fact, one!) know me in real life as Andrew Joyce. Then I don't think any of you know me by Daniel T. Hubbard or Dr. Centro (for my technology friends! ) but if you want to start calling me one of those I will answer to them as well.

I guess on the serious side of things I'm really grateful to Jay and his Marcher Lord minions for keeping this forum up and running. It's gotten me back into writing a novel I thought I'd never work on again, and I've also been able to do some valuable development on my world. I appreciate the chance to be a moderator and to help serve the community with organization. Most of all, I value the deep theological discussion and concepts that we can chew on here, and not having to be worried about low expectations. I officially thank you, Jay and the Marcher Lords and the green moderators, the purple HRMs, and all the normal people that altogether make this into the greatest forum on the internet!

I'm Ashley, and I don't really know what to say here Um...

I'm excited about Holy Worlds' birthday, and I hope there are many more! This site has greatly helped my writing and I am very thankful for all the awesome people here!

Yo! I am Tim (a.k.a. Ivan Lee Holt) and I have been a part of HW for 7 months, 15 days,3 hours, and 42 minutes (approx.) It's great to be here. Happy Birthday Holy Worlds!

First (in every way) cousin of the illustrious forum administrator here. *makes mark* Okay, done.

Hi! My name's Meaghan. (Yes, I know it's spelled strangely. What do you expect being named after a book?) And I have been on Holy Worlds... umm... December, so that would be 10 months and... and... All right, so I've been on here a long time! And I was here on this the first year of the first month of the first day of the Holy Worlds birthday celebration!!

::carefully burns the words "Amanda was here" on the forum floor with my dad's blowtorch::

Um, I don't know what else to say...

I'm Rachel, posting under the alias of Philadelphia. The people 'round here have subsequently shortened that to Philli, which I think is adorably sweet. On this date I am still fairly new, so I'm glad to have joined the site in time to be present for this joyous event! I'm equally thrilled about the launching of the sci-fi sister site, as my writing has always wavered between fantasy and sci-fi with some real-world stuck in the middle.

I'm honored to be apart of this unique group. This is not your average forum! Incredibly uplifting, encouraging everyone to be their best, but padded with a wonderful dose of ridiculousness.

Happy Birthday HOLY WORLDS!

I'm Ciela Rose, or Lauren, or whatever else you want to call me (most of you know me as Ciela). This is the most awesome forum on the internet (although it'll probably be rivaled by the scifi one). It has helped me in my writing and creativity.
I'm also thrilled about the many fantastic friends I've made on here.
I'm not quite sure how to finish this, but there you go. My mark is made.

I am Katie Daniels or Janin of Yen or Vanya Katerina Jaynin or The Poet or the Master of Today's Riddles or whatever else you want to call me. Dragon Egg I am thrilled to be here today.

Hello!

I'm Cheryl, also known as Alice. Or Charles. I like to read; I do not write. Yet.

I'm Carissa's sister. And I'm not sure what else to say... but I was here today.

Oh my! I just realized I hadn't made my own mark yet! How absent minded of me (occupational hazard of being a writer I suppose )

I feel quite blessed to have been a part of this wonderful day!
Holy Worlds has been a tremendous blessing for me and I would like to thank our illustrious Administrator for making this place possible! Happy Birthday HW! May you have many more to come (I hope I’m around for them too)!

Hey! I'm Sir Phillip, also known as Justin Sterzer (Can't believe he just said that ) I was here for the one year, one day, and one month anniversary and birthday of Holy Worlds Fantasy and the official opening day of Holy Worlds Sci-Fi! Thanks to Jay for telling me about this awesome site! Before I joined my grammar and writing was terrible. Now I am an Editor and I love correcting people, but that kind of makes them annoyed I have no idea what else I am supposed to say... Oh yeah! Melody, smilies do not make you look immature

Sir Philly Billy

My mark?

My mark is death.

None shall see me. All shall fear me. Few will meet me.

I am the cloak that covers the assassin. I am the blade that cuts the throat. I am the whisper that crazes the invalid. I am the key that seals the dungeon.

I am the inspiration of darkness. The vibrancy of malevolence. The strength that encourages the slayer. The thought that drives the perverted.

I am Locket.

And I-

A brilliant light of gold and silver like that of stars explodes. The voice is silenced. Blade arrived.


Ahem...

I am here too.
