Umm... All right. Here it goes! (So be kindly, please...)

My [user]name is obviously Crystluna and my welcomeress, Airianna, asked me what the secret was behind my name.
Truthfully, there isn't a secret behind it exactly. I just like the names/words crystal and luna (luna=moon) and once made CrystaLuna, but then shortened it (kinda) to Crystluna. Which I find kinda perfect, since it's similar to Christ, right? Not that I'm claiming to be anything compared to the Lord Jesus Christ or anything! I just... find it more naturally representative, in a sense, of being "in Christ alone" or a follower of Christ, Yeshuah the Messiah.
(If you can get my meaning...)

Anyway, enough of my ramblings, now on to me! ...Oh dear.


Now following the basic outline, I was so kindly given...


-I like all fiction and will not choose between sci-fi or fiction, because I love both~! And I will read non-fiction occasionally... not often really.


-I've written numerous stories... Just never got around to writing down the rest of the story, making it into correct, readable format, or actually writing down what's stored in my head! I try to store and organize everything into a binder or folder, but they really are all scattered. They're either in notebooks, some on binder paper in a folder, or some on lil torn pieces of paper I sometimes "misplace". Eh heh...!


-Ok. This one I had no trouble thinking over. I truly do like all fantasy creatures (even those you are meant to despise, for they are described amazingly and you have to admire any living creature God allows to live), but above all... I am a dragon lover. Unfortunately, the world portrays ALL dragons as bad and evil creatures and you don't see many good images or kind descriptions of them in Christian books. Especially since, the Bible gives Satan the form of a dragon. *weeps* Thankfully, writers like Donita K. Paul are standing up for the dragons who are good and are not all malicious! (Better stop while I can...)


- No, I am not homeschooled, but am intrigued by the idea of doing online school.


-I am both a writer and artist. (Sorta...) I am just one who draws and/or writes solely from what intrigues or inspires me!


-I have a hobby (more so an unbeknownst habit) of wanting to take care of my friends and the urge of making sure everyone is happy! ...Does that count as a hobby??


-All you need to know, is that I don't have any brother(s), but do have sister(s) and wonder parents, plus everyone in the body of the church! Through the ups and downs of life (thick and thin), my family is the anchor I have had my entire life, to get me through those hard moments! It's where I go to for support and advice and any spiritual questions, as well. I thank God Almighty for blessing me with such a wonderful, fantastic, and supportive family! We have our difficult times, now and then, but we always pull through because of our faith!


-I wanna go to college and do not currently have a job.

As my own lil' bonus, I favor anime and manga and am a Hayao Miyazaki fan, as well. >w <


Aaannd... I think that's about it! *looks back* Oi vay, did I write a lot! O_O'
[Oh yeah. Also... NO FLYTACKLEHUG(s), PLEASE!?!! 0 ~0 *scared and covers head. peeks*]

OMG CRAWLWAVEHANDSHAKE!!! (that wasn't to violent was it? )

Mae govannen CrystLuna! (your name reminds me of butterflies)

I agree on the dragon thing, I use things with horns that shouldn't have them as evil things, also snakes but they get a bad rep too sometimes...

So glad to have you join us!

Welcome to Holy Worlds!


What's your favorite Miyazaki movie? Mine is Castle in the Sky.

Thank you and no... not too bad. A little odd, but I guess that's just how things are around here.

And... THANK YOU!! You have no idea how heart-breaking and sometimes a bit angering it is, when people prosecute dragons!

Yes... Horns are a great use for many things, but sometimes looked at as only a menacing charateristic. And snakes are so lithe and... ect. , but are apparently the descendents of a cursed creature. *shakes head*

Anyway, what does mean??

------------
And to Jonathan: My favorite would be Nausicaa, but I like all of his movies overall. That movie, Castle in the Sky, was well drawn, wasn't it? Especially the dream part.

Hello there! Welcome to Holy Worlds! *gently hugs Crystaluna*

Greetings! Hail & mae govennan!

Sayyyyyyyy, another anime/manga fan! What kind of mangas do you like? My favorites are free online Christian ones. You'll find quite a few fans around here -- my friend Calenmiriel is one of them. <smile>

I like dragons too...but not in Eragon. Donita K. Paul's dragons are cute.

Mae govennan means 'well met' in either Sindarin or Quenya. I'm unsure. Glorfindel greets Frodo with it in The Fellowship of the Ring. (Glorfindel is a High Elf, one of the Noldor, so he might speak Quenya, but Quenya was forbidden to be spoken in Middle-earth thousands of years ago... so I don't know. )

Yay! I am sooo happy to see this posted! I've been bursting waiting to greet you officially on the site! Welcome over much my dear Crysty (that is my nickname, I call copyright!)! I have no doubt you will be warmly received and loved.

Thank you Amanda...!

And I do hope I shall settle in well here.

Thanks for clarifying on that confusing subject, Melody.

And yes... I have finally, at long last, posted my introduction thread, Airianna.
...That's interesting. I've never had anyone attempt a nickname. Okay then! Fine by meh~! ^w^

I nickname lots of people I am fond of. (and just because you do not have a nickname, does not mean I am not fond of you! I can so see Eruheran giving me a hard time on this one!)

Welcome! We're thrilled to have you here! I believe I mentioned this elsewhere, but I adore your avatar.

Airianna bestows wonderful nicknames... though usually she doesn't copyright them! Airianna!! Anyway, she gave me the sweetest nickname - Philli! I'd never thought of that as a short form for "Philadelphia," and it really stuck.

Looking forward to talking with you!

Welcome! (hehehe, it feels a little odd welcoming you since I only joined...was it yesterday or the day before?)

Welcome to HW!!!

Welcome to Holy Worlds, CrystLuna! I hope that you are finding your way around here easily and that you have a splendid time checking out the threads!

(Yes, I am the Calenmiriel, Melody speaks of.) XD

What? Everyone steals my nicknames, so I have to copyright some of them! You know you love me Philli, and you would never send one of these after me Maybe if you all talk real sweet to me I might let you use it...

Hail, bringer of the crystal moon! ( I just thought it would be cool to say that lol) Welcome to HW. You'll find you will receive some awesome support from the other members and such here I know I have. It's been a huge help in my story . I'd like to hear about some of yours.

Aaw I love giving FLY TACKLE HUGS!! *sulks* anyhow! welcome to HW I like dragons too hehe although I think I'd be very scared if I met one in real

Okay, I promised I wouldn't flytacklehug, so I won't. Welcome to Holy Worlds! I'm really excited that you are here! I like long introductions, so I enjoyed reading that.

Ooh, another dragon lover! I love DKP's dragons; they are so cute. There are lots of dragon lovers on here, as you can see. I like the one on your avatar.

Anyway, welcome again! *Tiny dragons fly up into the air, spelling "Welcome, Crystluna!" in lots of colors. Fireworks go off in the background.*

Airianna, really? Copyright? Hmph. I'll make up another nickname, then.

you still love me though sis, admit it!

I can see Crysty, that my copyright created the stir I thought it would. You see how predictable and cantankerous these HWers are.

Of course. Predictable, eh? Wait, I was just being predictable in my reply to that, right? Oh dear.

Greetings and Salutations, Hail and well-met. You do have a lovely avatar.

I'm very glad to see you've posted your introduction; as you can see I'm actually trying to pay attention for a change.

*feels guilty because she hasn't replied to anyone else's introductions*

Anyway, I'm sure you will enjoy your sojourn here at HW. We're all a little crazy, and some say not quite sane but that's fine by most of us, because we are (after all) crazy fantasy writers.

*grumblemumble* No fly tackle hugs??? *sniff* Ok.

*shoots off firecrackers* there. That's just as good isn't it? LOL!

It's AWESOME to have you on here, Crystluna! I LOVE your name. It's absolutely beautiful.

If I ever have a little girl, I've been thinking about naming her "Crystal Luna" so of course, I saw your username and squealed I loved it so much.

Welcome!

I love you a huge and dastardly amount, Airianna dearest, but that doesn't put me above either (a) teasing you or (b) laying on the guilt factor when appropriate.

Ek-Gads! I'm late on this

welcome, welcome, welcome!


Traditional LotR welcome quote:
"I will [join], I will [join Holy Worlds]... though I do not know [how]..."

Yeah, seems nobody has reservations on those two scores where I am concerned. I can't imagine why...

Oh well, I wouldn't know what to do with myself if you all treated me differently.

Crysty, you should feel highly honored that Jaynin has welcomed you on your introduction. She hardly ever does. It isn't because she doesn't like people (right Jaynin? *grins wickedly*) she's just busy with her head in a book. So feel privileged.

Of course you're so above teasing people, Airianna.

I know! *feels momentary shame at her apparently infamous character* But somebody has to keep you all young and sane.

And now they will strip me of my yellow name for such tomfoolery!

*hangs head in shame*

Now I feel even more guilty...

*comforts Jaynin whilst patting her on the back*

Airianna, if you're trying to keep us sane, you're doing a really, really pathetic job!

I don't think they'll be stripping anybody of their yellowness on account of a bit of humor. If they do, I'm not sure who they'll find to be yellow. Just Jay, I guess.

*sticks tongue out*

Willow says she is the fun ML.

Jay is like my dad, he doesn't really care for silliness. But when the MLs behave like my mom, there's not anything more he can do about them than my dad can.

I kid, Jay's got a sense of humor. But he calls it "pure wit" and not silliness.

(I'm going to get demoted if I keep this up...)

Hmph. Not likely.

Oh, by the way, Crystluna, derailing introduction threads is a common practice around here. Just ignore us...

Yes. It is the only place we are forgiven for derailing threads.

Welcome Crysty! (sticks out tongue at Airianna ) I'm late (as usual) but it looks like you're fitting in just fine around here. Hope you enjoy your stay! =D =D

(Now--that was my attempt to rerail the thread...now for the off-topic bit)



I agree. But please, don't try any harder. I like my insanity

eruheran

I think I'm a bit late, but...

Welcome to Holy Worlds!

Jaynin, we can feel guilty together; I haven't been keeping up with the introduction threads either!

Willow says she is the fun marcher lord

I did not!

Maybe I said I was the silly Marcher Lord though.... I think I'm the youngest anyway.

Nope! I was born seven days after you!

Yes you did Willow! I specifically remember that comment being made in the chat room!

And I should have known it would be Eruheran who thumbed his nose at me! See how he treats me? No respect! No respect I say!

^valiantly resiting the urge to laugh hysterically, resulting in knowing snickers

[*]Anime sweat drop[*]

Has a weirded-out expression on her face and a slight smile pulling at one corner of her mouth. "And I thought I was kureijī! ...I mean, bakageta." Shakes head, with mixed feelings of amusement and confusion, as she watches the spectacle of off-topic conversation bounce back and forth.

Blinks at Philiadelphia's comment... and then chortles. ^w ^

Airianna? You? Keeping us sane? Hardly. *shakes her head laughingly* No respect. Tangential Sisters, indeed.

It is true! I get no respect around here *glares at Eruheran and stick tongue back out at him*. (Thinks to self, “That was really mature.”)

Lizzie love, have you ever noticed you and I quote Evening a lot where our relationship is concerned?

Well, you all better be glad I'm not trying that hard to keep you sane. I am a Drill Sergeant’s daughter you know, I know how to make people drop and give me twenty. If I wanted the whole lot of you would be horribly normal Muahahaha! *laughs with evil mad scientist laugh*

I am glad you find us all amusing Crysty, and not demented.

*laughs* Yes, I did notice. I'm also glad you don't find us completely wacko, Chrystluna.

Productive insanity, that's it. See, Airianna, if you took it to us, our productivity would suffer and the forum as a whole would... gasp!

Anyway, Crysty, do you draw anime or just read it? (Pardon me if that information was in your introduction post and I forgot.)

Well, I suppose if it is in the best interest of the Forum...

Do you do any of your own concept art for your stories, Crysty?

I know I'm rather late, but welcome to Holy Worlds, Crystluna. I can see you'll fit in just fine with us abnormally normal people.

(Oh, and I really like your name by the way! It sounds kind of cool when you say it.)

*grins* I remember Evie.

And Aiva, I really don't think you could make us normal even if you tried. You can't change our essences!

*chants softly to herself, "I refuse to say I told you so, I refuse to say I told you so". Fails miserably and tries to cover her mouth with her hand, but the words slip out before she can capture them* "I told ya so Willow!"

Well, you win the prize for most clever thing of the day Willow. No, I cannot change your essences, and, very out of character I know, I actually have no come back for that one.
