Greetings,
I found this forum through OYAN, and checking over the member list, I can see a lot of you are on here. Hey, guys!
For everyone else, my name is Lady PenWarrior, or Penny, if you prefer less of a mouthful. It's been a while, almost nigh three years, since I've had to scrawl out an introductory post, so I apologize if this seems a bit disjointed or boring, even.
I am 19. I have been telling stories since I could talk, and writing consistently since I turned twelve. I have a strong admiration for celtic style, medieval atmosphere, and anything with a blade. The wonder of legends and symbols of valor, courage in battle against evil, victory in turmoil, are some of the most glorious to me. Most times, I think of story as a weapon, like a sword; a tool to be used in the battle against evil, which is very present today just as it was in the times of Kingly wars. My kingdom mindset may come out a little, forgive me if I get overdramatic about it.
Since it is part of how I identify myself, I'll mention that I am the Queen of the PenKnights, a group composed of close friends of both myself and my family. We are, like you, dedicated to the creation of Godly, impactful media in the area of story. We are not a large group -- consisting right now of only nine members -- but we are close and dedicated. We worldbuild together, write, make short movies; a couple of us draw very well, handling concept art and illustrations for the various books, we have a costume designer and a seamstress, a photographer and director of photographer, a cartographer... Very often we will collaberate on the development of story worlds, as well, and even co-author novels. We're just starting out, but we have high hopes. If I refer to the PenKnights, which I seem to do often, then now you'll know what I'm talking about.
I write fantasy for the most part, with also a portion of sci fi, and a little leftover for medieval historical fiction. Nothing I have published yet, but this Fall I intend to self publish the first book in a trilogy set in Xystia, a fantasy world that has been slowly developing between the PenKnights for about six years.
I must say I am very much looking forward to poking about around here. It appears fascinating, from what I've seen, and rather exciting with all the Christian fantasy writers. Likely I'll be a bit ghostly for the beginning as I find my place in all this, but later I should be more decided, and hopefully I can help and not just be helped.
May the Lord guard and guide your hearts and pens.

I hope I get to read the book sometime.
I'm actually 5'5, not quite a midget. I don't mind, use whatever nicknames you want, but you're the only one allowed to call me Midge.
