Hail and well met by ... sunlight, members of Holy Worlds! I'm Lady Meriwen (but you can dispense with the formality and call me Meri); I was introduced to this site by Melody Kondrael and I'm looking forward to exploring it. :)

Basically, I love to read. And write. Though lately I've been focusing more on historical fiction, I do write a good deal of fantasy--mostly short stories and my own trilogy-in-the-making. My name is Elvish, by the way, which means I'm an LotR fan. Which doesn't mean that I constantly crib from LotR in my writing. ;) I'm quite wary of that, actually. Fanfiction for The Silmarillion, though ... that's another thing altogether!

I'm also a Christian and homeschooled, but I don't like the stereotype that usually comes with those words. So think more along the lines of "a loyal subject and friend of Jesus" and "a self-taught life learner". ^.^

Blessings ... and I can't wait to meet you all!

It's as if the heavier the load they carry, the better they can bear a little more; and not until the burdens crush them do we realize what we have done."

"Only it is their choice," Ishmil said gently. "We may give them overmuch to carry but in the end they must decide what they are willing to lose for love. Burdens fade in the light of a question like that."

Welcome to HW Meri! :D

Welcome Lady Meriwen! I completely agree with the "not copying Tolkien". It is possible to be original with your fantasy even if you do love Tolkien, although it took me a couple of years to learn how. : ) I think you'll really like it here.

Welcome to Holy Worlds! You'll have tons of fun here if you're twice as crazy as half of us and half as crazy as twice of us. Anyways, you'll have fun, but it can be weird around here. ;)

But if you're crazy as the other half and twice as crazy as another two, you might find this place to be a drag. ;)

Welcome! Melody sure knows how to introduce people doesn't she? In case you didn't know, she introduced me to the forum as well. ;)

Wow. If we had a contest to see who invited the most people to be on HW, then I would say Melody is in the lead. :o Welcome Lady Meriwen, I think you'll find everyone here quite fun (though a bit crazy) :)

She might be, but she would be hard pressed to beat me. Haha. I got the first 20 or so on here, and several after that. :)

I'm at three - Amanda Kondrael (my sister), Calenmiriel, and Meriwen. And I've been trying to convince a couple other people to get on here... :D

Jay, yours don't count 'cause you're a founder and of course you have to invite people here. :D

Welcome to the forum, Meri!

It seems that I need to invite some more people... I've only invited Griffin so far! :)

So who gets the credit for dragging me over here? Melody or Sir Emeth? I was badgered by both of them, although I seem to remember signing up at Melody's insistence but I ignored the site until I was asked three times consecutively by Sir Emeth if I was on it. :D

I think my bad memory about who is on here (hehe) helps get people on, don't you think? :D
