Hey, I'm Becki Badger, otherwise known as Shieldmaiden, and I don't write a lot of fantasy. Although my one novella is a fantasy, and I just have to finish the cover, I mostly write action. However, I'm working on a fantasy trilogy,and I'm terrible at worldbuilding, so that's one topic I'll probably be haunting. :D Anyway, I'm excited to be here, and can't wait to get to know y'all. :salute:

“Don't leave. I'm sorry I said that. I shouldn't have.”
She looked sadly at him. “But you still believe it's true.”
Edward eyebrows knit together.
“Why else would you be here?”
She shook her head, closing her eyes. “You really can't believe the best of me?”
He shrugged. “After all I've been through? It's difficult to trust anyone in this place.”
-Shieldmaiden, finished.

Welcome to Holy Worlds! :D I like writing thrillers, which can be similar to action.

Hi! :wave: You probably don't know me, so let me introduce myself. I'm Rose, Aliza, Azlyn, Azzie, Az, and many more, so whatever you wish to call me! I've seen you around Go Teen Writers, though I haven't actually talked to you. I comment on the blog and very occasionally make the top twenty in contests under the name of Rose Williams. :D

Thank you all for the warm welcome. :) I've joined forums for several different things, and this is the warmest welcome I've gotten. I'm so excited to be here, around other people who think the same way I do! :D

Welcome to the forums! :D *Tosses glitter*

I am looking forward to hearing more about your trilogy! I noticed you joined Sci Fi, right? :cool: That is epic. :D

Lady Elanor, I did join the sci-fi forum, but I'll probably mostly stick with this one. I just wasn't sure which I was looking for, so I joined both. :)

Welcome here, Becki. Pleased to meet you.
If you ask me, worldbuilding is almost more fun than the actual writing, because then you can include obscure facts that make the world more real to your readers.

Yeah I agree, for now at least worldbuilding is a lot more fun for me...probably partly because I'm better at that than writing. ;)

Welcome, Shieldmaiden!

Plunging right into a trilogy, huh? Impressive! I find I have writing ADD and skip from one project to another without finishing them. :P

Really? I like worldbuilding, but I love writing. I have to stop and research for world building and things, but writing just flows. ^_^

*Somehow missed the fantasy trilogy part before* Oooh! Awesome! I hope that goes well! I'm working on developing a fantasy trilogy of my own right now, and falling in love with the genre. :D

I ignore the acknowledgement. It's a long and complicated process involving severe mental discipline and purple bunnies. ;)
