In Which We Introduce....

Lady Elanor · **Posted:** August 2nd, 2011, 12:34 pm

Ladies and Gentlemen. *Clears throat* Ladies and Gentlemen, let me present to you.....Donn Quixote! Donn gave me permission to start her an intro thread; here are a few things she told me about herself that I can share with you.

Donn Quixote wrote:

Don Quixote was a book written in the 15th century during the Renaissance by a Spanish novelist Miguel de Cervantes. His book was about a character named Don Quixote who was an insane spanish knight, hence my username (I just added an extra "n") This Don Quixote has a trusty servant named Sancho who kept him in line. So that's the story of my username.

I've been a serious writer 3 years and, in that time, have written 2.5 books. I heard about Holy Worlds from The Rebelution.

Please do welcome her!

Princess Arante Weneve · **Posted:** August 2nd, 2011, 12:41 pm

Welcome!

Don't worry, I don't think we have windmills here, but we do have giants.

Zoe M. Scrivener · **Posted:** August 2nd, 2011, 1:25 pm

Welcome, Donn!

*white rose petals float in the air *

What genre do you write in primarily?

Welcome to Holy Worlds!

Kiev Shawn · **Posted:** August 2nd, 2011, 3:27 pm

Welcome, welcome, welcome to Holy Worlds! I'm vaguely familiar with that story, though I have yet to read it. I'm Shawn, by the way.

*five glitter penguins slide in on their bellies with a punch bowl* Do you like punch? The penguins make some of the best.

Welcome to Holy Worlds!

I know you'll like it here.
God bless,
Crushmaster.

Well, hello people! Thank Lady Elanor for getting me to come into my own thread.

@Shawn
Punch would be refreshing.

@Raven
It's usually a mix of Fantasy and Adventure. I don't think I could write them separately.

@Princess Arante
I brought a windmill with me!

And again, hello! Thank you for the welcomes.

Kiev Shawn · **Posted:** August 2nd, 2011, 4:11 pm

*chuckles* I write that way too. Adventure follows my poor characters wherever they go, it seems.

What is your MC like?

*the penguins serve punch*

@Shawn
Depends on which MC you speak of.
My newest MCs...

One's name is Ace
Another is known as the Sapphire.
And the next is known as Jayson.

So what are they like?
Ace vowed to never kill, but to always succeed.
The Sapphire had a broken childhood and is a genius of a thief.
Jayson..well, he has a major role, but no backround quite yet!

Is that the kind of answer you were looking for?

Kiev Shawn · **Posted:** August 2nd, 2011, 4:55 pm

Yes, that is what I was looking for. I love your summaries; they captures your character essences so well!

I have a Jayson too! Great minds think alike.

BushMaid · **Posted:** August 2nd, 2011, 4:59 pm

Welcome to HolyWorlds, Donn Quixote!

I hope you have an awesome time here!

@Shawn

Great minds indeed think alike.

Rachel Newhouse · **Posted:** August 2nd, 2011, 7:05 pm

Oh! We've passed in chat, but it's good to be "officially" introduced.

Welcome to HW! Have a cupcake, make yourself at home, and holler if you have any questions.

Do you think you'll post some of your stories around here?

2.5 novels in 3 years is great! Do you have any plans to publish?

Donn Quixote · **Joined:** July 29th, 2011, 12:10 pm **Posts:** 71

@Philadelphia
I don't know if I'll post any of my work on here. I will brainstorm though. And yes, I do plan to publish. Sooner rather than later.

...If only I could get through the editing process...you know. -wink-

That is good.

I have only watched a "Wishbone" version of the book.

Rachel Newhouse · **Posted:** August 3rd, 2011, 12:38 pm

Oh yes, I know.

Need motivation?

Emmalina C. Mimetes · **Posted:** August 3rd, 2011, 1:18 pm

Welcome to Holy Worlds, Donn!

@Philadelphia
If you go to the heart of it, I'm probably just scared to try and publish. -laugh- Everyone says I should, but I keep putting every story I finish on the back burner.

Rachel Newhouse · **Posted:** August 4th, 2011, 3:07 pm

Tsk, tsk! That's no excuse. I won't stand for that. Just ask Jonathan or anyone else I've tormented.

You haven't tormented me, so I guess that means she'll have to ask someone else.

Rachel Newhouse · **Posted:** August 5th, 2011, 10:47 am

*tries to remember the last person she hounded mercilessly* Hmm... try Varon. He got it pretty good over that Rapunzel short story.

Remember what I said, Jonathan. I've been nice so far to you.

Hello! I hope you have a wonderful time on Holy Worlds. If you do decide to post any of your short stories or poems in the Fireside, I'm sure I will enjoy reading them! Also, I love the sound of your username that you picked.

Donn Quixote · **Joined:** July 29th, 2011, 12:10 pm **Posts:** 71

@Philadelphia
Looks like I've added myself to your hit list!

@Lady Elizabeth
Thank you. I like the sound of it too.

@Everyone
For anyone wondering how to pronounce "Quixote," it is pronounced just so: Kee-HO-tee. (Direct pronunciation.) To make it easier, how about Key-Oat-EE? That works too. Thanks!

Leandra Falconwing · **Posted:** August 5th, 2011, 10:49 pm

I've talked to you in chat, but I suppose we can call this your official welcome from me.

Welcome to Holy Worlds!

Rachel Newhouse · **Posted:** August 6th, 2011, 1:55 pm

*laughs at the hit list metaphor* That's not a bad way of thinking of it.

Don't mind her, her bark is worse than her bite.

Welcome welcome, Donn! May I ask how/why you chose your unusually interesting name?

If anyone gives you trouble, by the way, be sure to let me know. *glares at everyone momentarily before turning on a bright smile again *

Rachel Newhouse · **Posted:** August 10th, 2011, 5:15 pm

Oh, is it? Melody might challenge you on that.

Airianna Valenshia · **Posted:** August 10th, 2011, 5:18 pm

I'd take her on.

Rachel Newhouse · **Posted:** August 10th, 2011, 5:54 pm

Be my guest, though I will note that, logically, you don't have personal experience with my haggling. So you're not really one to argue.

Airianna Valenshia · **Posted:** August 10th, 2011, 6:18 pm

Haggling is not biting.

Rachel Newhouse · **Posted:** August 11th, 2011, 9:43 am

Well, okay, if you want to be literal with a cliched phrase that wasn't intended to be literal, then yeah. I don't bite. I don't bark, either.

Airianna Valenshia · **Posted:** August 11th, 2011, 11:46 am

*grins * I rest my case.

Rachel Newhouse · **Posted:** August 12th, 2011, 10:11 am

By admitting that your statement of "Her bark is worse than her bite" is totally irrelevant?

Donn Quixote · **Joined:** July 29th, 2011, 12:10 pm **Posts:** 71

@Airianna

There's no particular reason I chose the name Donn Quixote, though I just added the extra "n" to give it a little color from its original form. (And probably to make it a more feminine looking name. Whether it worked or not, I do not know.) I think the main reason is because I was fascinated with the insane knight Don Quixote. He's an entertaining character and Cervantes must have done a very good job on him since the book "Don Quixote" still exists from Renaissance times. I mean, who thinks windmills are giants and inns are castles? Very intriguing in my mind.

Welcome, Donn! I really like your username - Don Quixote is one of my favorite 'old book' reads

Hope to see you 'round the forums!

Airianna Valenshia · **Posted:** August 16th, 2011, 11:58 am

Awesome, thanks for explaining your choice to me.

Aeleknight · **Posted:** August 16th, 2011, 6:12 pm

Well I officially found this unthinkably too late. I already welcomed you, Miss Donn but that will not stop me from doing it again. *Throws brownies into the air* Welcome to holy worlds, Miss Donn!

Thanks Aele for a second welcome!

Sienna North · **Posted:** August 25th, 2011, 3:17 pm

Greetings & Welcome, Donn! Hey--I just thought of something: my nickname-name is Dawn, which sounds exactly like Donn, so we're really name twins! Isn't that awesome?

*hands Donn seven-layer chocolate ice cream cake with tons of frosting, plus swirls glitter around in the air*

So, anyhow, I hope you're enjoying this chaotic tumble of mind and madness familiarly termed Holy Worlds! You'll find it really has a thread for every interest, be it fencing or photography or cats {which, by the way, I happen to like more than dogs, since dogs are big and scary and they bark

}

Donn Quixote · **Joined:** July 29th, 2011, 12:10 pm **Posts:** 71

@Dawn
Could it be? Are you my long lost name-twin?
-Takes cake-
Yes, I am enjoying Holy Worlds. I was quite used to chaotic writing websites beforehand, but never a Christian one! It is very interesting.

God Bless!
