Hello! I'm LittleGreyDragon, generally abbreviated to LGD. And I have a feeling most of the people on this forum would appreciate my real name, which is Galadriel. (My parents are fans.) I'm really happy to find this forum. I've been looking for fellow Christian fantasy writers for years, and just a few days ago I met Melody Kondrael over on the NaNoWriMo forum, and she directed me over here. I'm excited to meet you all and to share my world of Tirgalon with you.

~LGD

Wow! Your actual birth name is Galadriel? That's really neat! Do you ever get annoyed or get guff from it? Just wondering. I knew a kid named Anikin, and yes, he was named after Anikin Skywalker. XD

I hope you enjoy the forum! :D :D :D

Greets! So glad to have you. Lovely name and username you have! Melody's wonderful, isn't she? She' quite good at converting people to her forums and sites.

(Go ahead and admit it, Mel, if it weren't for you I wouldn't even know the meaning of the word "screenwriting," much less have a script pending production...)

I'm doomed...

Anyway! LGD! If you are in need of an avatar, may I recommend Elanhil's "smokey lights" images? That's what I have. He does an amazing job, and they look great on both the fantasy and sci-fi forums. Glad to see you over on sci-fi too, btw!

THAT IS SO AWESOME! Do people ever call you Gala for short?

Welcome aboard this crazy forum.:D

Wow! That is very cool Little Gray. I am so glad you joined and love both your names. May your days with us be forever blessed! I am at you service if you need anything M'lady.

Welcome! :wave: I hope you have a lovely time with us on this (slightly insane -in a good way!) forum. I like both of your names, they are special and pretty. Do you have a story you are currently working on?

Thank you all so much for the warm welcome! I'm a bit crazy too, so hopefully I should fit right in.

And no, I'm never called Gala (ew). I don't have a nickname, which bothers those people who don't bother trying to pronounce things. (Someone recently read my name as Colette Anne...I still have no idea how he came up with that.)

And I'm working on way too many stories. My Tirgalon series is currently outlined as fourteen books, and I'm also developing detailed mythology and two languages to go with the books.

I'm happy with pretty much any variation of my username. Little Grey is fine. I sometimes go by Rava also (the Latin for "grey"). And I'll certainly give you some tidbits soon.

Oh, and how much activity is there around here during NaNo? Do people come here more, or run off to the NaNo forums, or what?

There will still be plenty of us around during Nano. I will not be participating because of Family needs.

I like Little Rava. That will be my nickname for you. ;)

:wave: (I had fun making that smiley, might as well use it. ;) ) That is indeed a very interesting name. :D

I will be posting snippets of my NaNo novel on here. I don't tend to use the NaNo forums at all (I like you guys better, haha). I don't know about other people though. Haha.
