So...Not quite sure how to do this, so I figure I'll just jump in with both feet and hold my nose. (Hate getting water up it...) I used to post on the forums for The Binding of the Blade, until the last year or so when they slowly congeled, died, briefly zombified, and more or less died again.
For a while, that place was my life. Sad, I know.
Anyway, I knew a girl named Meg on there, and she told me about this place. Apparently she's Willow Wenial here.
Yeah, so anyway.
Me: I'm a college student currently working my way through school in the great Midwest, on my way to an English major. Those of you who write--look me up sometime five or six years from now. My dream is to open a publishing house like Marcher Lord Press, only geared toward young adult and children's lit.
Um...what else...? I'm a writer too, and have been published a few times, but nothing big...I'm homeschooled...Oh, and if anyone knows what Apricot Pie is, I post on there all the time. Or at least I did until coming to college, because now I have this thing called a life and I'm not always quite sure what to do with it.
So yeah. There we go, and I hope to get on here often. Nice to "meet" you all. *Shakes hands all around*
Later,
~The Traveler

Oh yeah--and though my name, and my nickname Trav, has in the past given rise to the misunderstanding that I'm a guy, I'm not. I'm very much a girl. A girly-girl-who-loves-dresses girl. LOL. Just to make that clear.

Welcome! We're thrilled to have you. I am utterly with you on dresses & skirts. If you do start a publishing house with that focus, I (as well as many others here) will be very interested. Come on in and join the conversation! No need to hold your nose.

Welcome, Traveler! We here at this forum are committed to several things, one of which glorifying God through fantasy, and another being committed to make sure this forum doesn't die, so it sounds like you should fit in. Do you have a story you are working on currently? (I will warn you, if you don't you will probably end up writing or starting one on here.)

Welcome! Here is your Lord of the Rings welcoming quote...
"Strangers from distant lands, friends of old you have been summoned here to..." welcome Traveler to HW. HW "stands upon the brink of destruction (wait, WHAT?!) none can escape it. You will unite or you will fall." Every person here "is bound to this fate, this one doom. Bring forth the..." welcoming committee!



Did I mention I can be a bit crazy at times? *twitch*

Welcome to Holy Worlds!

Wait... HW stands on the brink of destruction?!

*laughs as he reads Vilissë's post* Very nice. ^_^ I suppose welcoming committees formed by fantasy writers can be a bit on the extreme and bizarre end of things.

Welcome, The Traveler! Since you mentioned it, I guess we can call you Trav, right? It's a pretty cool nickname. One of my own dreams is to start an ebook publishing company, possibly connected with a regular one. ^_^
I'm working on college myself, and am considering an English major. I haven't decided for sure, but I still have a little bit to decide, as I'm not quite out of highschool yet. ^_^

Welcome to Holy Worlds! Seeya 'round!

Tenna 'telwan!
~Daniel, Knight of Elyon

**laughs at Vilisee's post, and contrives to make a weirder welcome than that** ;D

Welcome, traveler. This forum will be thine home now, and therefore thou mayest make thyself at home here. Thou shalt have no need to hold thine nose, and pretty dresses are most certainly welcome here! (I myself regularly dress like I have arrived from another era or world.) In the name of all here, I bid thee welcome. *bows*

Ah, but that was not as odd as I had hoped. To make up for it, I shall therefore make the rest of my posts in this thread in Archaic English, to the best of my ability.

Welcome Traveler. As you can no doubt tell we have quite the motley crew of eccentric fantasy writers. They are known for unusual welcomes (there are a few you should keep your eye out for). George the dragon has been out for a little bit, so he, at this time, will be unable to welcome you with all of his fireworks!
We are so happy to have you!

Welcome, Traveler!

(have some cucumbers, George!)

Welcome, Traveler! Boy, I think this is the first time we have two people with almost exactly the same name! It shouldn't be that confusing. We can call you Trav. So, anyways, welcome. I personally don't get in to dresses and doing my hair up fancy or anything, but there are others who do. Anyway, you'll like it here. It's fun. I was also about to say, 'Apricot pie, sounds interesting. I'll have to try it sometime.' until I saw the rest in that paragraph.

We need to get Namor over here...

TRAV!!!!!!! *flytacklehug* I'm so glad you finally got yourself over here.

I know, just KNOW you're going to love it.

Well, I feel welcomed! As for some of your questions: Yes, I currently have some (read: far too many) stories that I am currently working on, including a NaNoWriMo novel that I actually SHOULD be working on now, instead of posting on a net forum. lol. But I'll see if I can get anything up.
I apologize that I have a name similar to someone else's but it doesn't look like she gets on here often, so hopefully it won't be a problem. I think this is the first time I've seen someone else with that name, so it's pretty cool.
Anyway, thanks for the welcome, folks.
Elen sila, lumen, omentielvo!
~Trav

Don't feel bad about it; the avatars should help us keep y'all straight.

Welcome aboard Traveler! I'm so glad to hear you want to start a publishing company! I still read childrens' books sometimes. lol

Yes, she doesn't get on a whole lot. So confusing cases will be rare.

lol, Elanhil!

Oh. We forgot to warn you about Willow's fly-tackle-hugs. She does that to people.

Several of us are NaNo-ing, so welcome to the ranks! I myself should actually get off and meet my word count for the day...

Welcome, I think you're the first hundred-yr-old member that we've ever had join the site

I didn't even catch that (nice eyesight Seer)

On the sci-fi forum my brother was born in year "0" (I think that makes him 2010 years old.... maybe more?)

Welcome to HW, Trav!

Welcome Traveler. I'm happy to see your journeys have brought you to Holy Worlds.

Welcome, Traveler! I hope you're are enjoying the forum so far! It's a fun place to be!

::Cough:: yes, I am a hundred years old--or at least, that's how old I claim to be. But you know how women lie about their age. If you really want to know, I'm a world-traveling shapeshifter (Hence the name Traveler) from the land of Citerca, where I was born...let me think...six hundred and twenty years ago last September, though the months work a bit differently there. ::Blushes:: So now you all know how old I REALLY am.

Wooooooow...! Six hundred-twenty years old? You're as old as my great-grandma! Just kiddin', just kiddin', she's only 93.

You must know a lot about the world now, having lived so long... 0.0

My goodness! That's a day older than dirt!

Wow, I hope we can all gather from your wisdom and experience.

*said gravely* Oh yes, I agree with Elanhil. 0_0
