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, 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. Shawn |

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* |

*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! Boy, I think this is the first time we have two people with almost exactly the same name! We need to get Namor over here... |

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 |

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... |

::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. |
