Holy Worlds Christian Forum :: View topic - Prolegomenous ramblings from a fantasy-writing farm boy

(Yes, we really do use rustic terms like All Y'all out here in boonie-land. Humor me.)

You're the first person I have met who can scrape time off the floor -I get mine from the cupboards.
I look forward to getting to know you (and your story. you should post some writing in the Fireside). See you around!
*leaves out a chocolate welcome cake and some mandarin oranges for Fidle and all who come to greet him.*

p.s. Are you very fluent in French?

Braden! I saw on Buzz you were going to join! Welcome welcome. I love your intro.
So have you written fantasy before, or are you going to start now?

Welcome to Holy Worlds!

What kind of music do you play/write?

Look! It's Braden! Nice to have you over here on fantasy, too.

Welcome to the crazy fantasy side, Braden! I've no idea what that long word means. I'm not that smart.

Of course you are. You're a BushMaid.
...
What is BushMaid, anyway? XD

pro·le·gom·e·nous /ˌproʊlɪˈgɒmənəs/
adjective
1. prefatory; preliminary; introductory.
2. characterized by unnecessary or lengthy prologuizing.

A BushMaid is a mystery that ye shall have to unravel as you spend more time here.

I've played contemporary folk, Celtic, alternative rock, bluegrass, classical, country, and the teeniest bit of Western Swing. The stuff I write tends to fall in the alternative/folk rock genre, although I like to change it up from song to song. Do you play music as well?

BushMaid wrote:

I don't have to unravel that mystery, because I'm your sister.

Yes. You know the secrets of the BushMaid.

True.

But you can't give out secrets.

He is very good at playing his music, by the way. *nod nods *

Am I the only one who uses Google to look up long words?

Hi Braden, I am ZA.

Nice to have you over here. I'm originally from the south, and my family uses "ya'll".

We sometimes get teased by the northerners when we do use it.

*Hands you some yogurt covered pretzels* You may add this to your growing food gifts. *hands over a bowl of caramel corn* Oh, and this too.

I hope you enjoy your time here!

Welcome Fidle! I joined the sci-fi site first as well. And y'all is a perfectly good word! *nods*

*tosses Fidle world-famous chocolate-chip cookies*

Welcome to HW, Fidle!

Farm boy, eh? Got any cattle around you? Farming is a mighty fine way of life. Ever run through the corn fields? Great hide-out there, if I might say so myself.

As for a Fiddle [space] Guitarist, is that what you play? A Guitar?
Hard for me to think of a fiddling guitar. I always thought the lovely violin was the one called the fiddle and the music called Irish. Do tell me, can a guitar be played with fiddle music? (I may have proved myself wrong with just that last sentence!)

Anyway, HW is a great place. I, too, thought that the people were extremely friendly. It amazed me. Now as for me, you can call me Donn, or Quixote, or make up a nickname of your own if you wish. I'm the insane knight that thought windmills were giants and inns were castles. Don't mind me!

-stabs windmill and whacks windmill with shield- Aha! Take that, you blubbering codfish!

As you can see, my skills are extensive. Welcome to HW, again, friend!

God Bless
-Donn Q.

Lemme give you some help with that windmill.
*attacks rogue windmill with violin bow*

*Hands more magical chocolate pudding.*

*steals pudding* *gives pie instead*

Welcome yet again.

*Hands more magical chocolate pudding.* what I think you have had to much of this stuff lately.

Oi, Fiddling Sancho!

What have you published?

Hello Fidle! I'm Seabird, pirate of the animal kingdom. *steals pudding* *gives pie instead*

Enjoy your stay!! See you on chat!

Hi, Fidle! Welcome! I hope you enjoy your stay this awesome forum!

Hey! No stealing the new member's treats!

*Quickly sets up a table covered in a blue tablecloth, then steals brownies and pie back and places on table, adding her own glittery brownies to the mix* There! That's taken care of. Now, it's great to have here!

Enjoy the goodies!

I play guitar, though not well.

I play guitar too, mostly bluegrass, folk, and Celtic. I kinda play mandolin and upright bass, too, and I write music.

Jonathan.

You play very well! And I've heard you in real life, so I should know. *nods*

I've been hoping to try publishing some shorts in a magazine soon.

Welcome, Fidle, to the Fantasy side of HW!

I think I've seen you around on the Sci-Fi side.

Yep, your right! I do like blue. And without even planning that, I just realized I put on a blue shirt and blue jeans today! But don't worry, I don't think I'll even dye my hair blue.

A pirate of the animal kingdom is just my term for the seabird. They tend to be invasive little thieves.

Better late than never, but welcome, Fidle!

*sniff* I haven't played my guitar since this summer. I'm only a beginner and mainly self taught, but I find it enjoyable.

What sort of farm do you live on? A lot of the farms here in the Midwest are typical Old McDonald farms or industrial dairy, pig, and turkey farms.

We don't have a farm, but we live in the country with our cats and chickens. ^^

Again, welcome to Holy Worlds!

That's awesome! You play in a family band, right?

I live on a... homeschool farm?

Not really sure what else to call it. We have chickens, cows, and sheep--looking in to getting some goats.
Heh, if you have chickens I think you could go so far as to say you live on a farm. That's what we did.

Fidle wrote:

My only recording posted online is here.

Do you have any recordings?

Fidle wrote:

Yes, I do.

You can check out our website here: http://www.amberwavesband.com/

Fidle wrote:

Sounds a lot like our place. Awesome name for it! We live on 15 acres and have sheep, alpacas, chickens, and a goat.

Awesome! Alpacas sound like neat animals--what are they like to take care of?

Cassandra wrote:

Oh no oh no oh no. I'm late.

But welcome, Fidle. I haven't met you yet 'cause I'm solely on Fantasy and HF.

We're on a 'homeschool farm' too... that is, we have chickens, cows, sheep, a pony and a number of swiftly-multiplying rodents (pet ones )

I can play three--no! four!--chords on the guitar. My instrument's piano.

Ohhhh! You submit to Kingdom Pen!! I read that magazine! *looks up archived magazine* You wrote 'the Elf'?

Hey, that's really good. You've got a great sound. This would be a great track for writing to...

You can watch what I have posted here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZQdITjvN-w&feature=channel_video_title
and here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCgRjm0fAtA&feature=channel_video_title

That's the one. I'm wanting to submit something else soon--it's a great magazine. Where did you hear about it?

And hey, four guitar chords can really expand fast.

Wish I could play piano. For some reason that instrument has never come easily for me...

Hey, I know you guys. My family was in the Silver Dollar City Youth Bluegrass Contest this past year, too. You guys were awesome.
Fancy meeting you here.

I've got a few videos of some of my older songs on YouTube, but I haven't posted anything lately due to copyright issues. Meaning that I haven't copyrighted anything yet, and I don't really wanna put them online until I do. You can watch what I have posted here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZQdITjv ... ideo_title
and here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCgRjm0f ... ideo_title

Heard about it on the Reb. What about you? I thought your story the most skillfully written I've seen in KP yet. You should submit again.

YOU WERE??

Small world. What was the name of the band you were in? Silver Dollar City is an awesome place, no?

And thank you.

We plan on returning next year.

Yup. You can do a TON of stuff with only four chords. One of the reasons I love the guitar. It can get really complicated and hard at the advanced level, but it doesn't take much to just have fun with it. ^.^

Fidle wrote:

You're both a very good guitar player, and a very good singer, those vids are awesome.

And is that a Martin guitar I see?

*grin* Well, I'll keep practicing those chords then...

Hey, I looked up your YouTube videos--the songs are awesome! And the other videos...

*pauses* And no, I am not actually on the floor...

Martins are awesome.

Mine's a Blueridge.

I saw the other videos, too. They were hilarious.

Welcome to HWF!

I'm an "Ovation" man myself but Martins are pretty nice.

Howdy! Okay, so I did things kinda backwards. I joined the sci-fi forum a few months ago, and it’s taken me until now to finally get around to joining this here fantasy thingamajigaroo. But I promise I’m not bringing any photon blasters, space cruisers, or little purple men with me… I’m Fidle, FiddleGuitarist to some people who might know me from other forums, Braden for anybody who would just go absolutely nuts if they didn’t know my actual real-life name. My middle name and the maiden name of my great-great-aunt are highly confidential and cannot be divulged here, sorry about that. I'm an avid writer (don't look so surprised), reader, musician, and filmmaker in any insignificant fragments of spare time I can scrape off the kitchen floor. I'm a Christian homeschooled farm boy with a love for words, musical sounds, and yogurt covered pretzels, and currently I'm thrilled to be rubbing shoulders with all y'all fantastic writer peeps. (Yes, we really do use rustic terms like All Y'all out here in boonie-land. Humor me.) Look forward to getting to know you fine folks better in the future. Allons-y! PS... If you're wondering what the heck Prolegomenous means, I really dunno. I just tacked that in there so I'd sound really really smart. Like you guys.

I'm only a beginner and mainly self taught, but I find it enjoyable. What sort of farm do you live on? A lot of the farms here in the Midwest are typical Old McDonald farms or industrial dairy, pig, and turkey farms. We don't have a farm, but we live in the country with our cats and chickens. ^^ Again, welcome to Holy Worlds! ~Calen I live on a... homeschool farm? Not really sure what else to call it. We have chickens, cows, and sheep--looking in to getting some goats. Heh, if you have chickens I think you could go so far as to say you live on a farm. That's what we did. And thanks for the welcome! Lady Elizabeth wrote: Welcome to Holy Worlds, Fidle! Here's some sugar cookies for you to munch on! holds out a couple Thanks a bunch!

Fine and well are not the same thing. Let me rephrase, then. You play quite well. Jonathan Garner wrote: You, on the other hand...

Heh, if you have chickens I think you could go so far as to say you live on a farm. That's what we did. Sounds a lot like our place. Awesome name for it! We live on 15 acres and have sheep, alpacas, chickens, and a goat.

Oh no oh no oh no. I'm late. But welcome, Fidle. I haven't met you yet 'cause I'm solely on Fantasy and HF. We're on a 'homeschool farm' too... that is, we have chickens, cows, sheep, a pony and a number of swiftly-multiplying rodents (pet ones ) I can play three--no! four!--chords on the guitar. My instrument's piano. Ohhhh! You submit to Kingdom Pen!! I read that magazine! looks up archived magazine You wrote 'the Elf'?

This would be a great track for writing to... I've got a few videos of some of my older songs on YouTube, but I haven't posted anything lately due to copyright issues. Meaning that I haven't copyrighted anything yet, and I don't really wanna put them online until I do.
