Hi everyone,

I love fantasy, folklore, mythology and language, and love writing speculative fiction, especially fantasy. (I've only published a few short stories, nothing big.)

I was thrilled to find this forum as I've been searching for a Christian fantasy forum for a while now.

I'm 24 and live in Gauteng, South Africa. I'm working full-time (as a language practitioner) and studying part-time and trying to fit my writing in as well!

Carin

A very warm welcome to the forum! We are glad to have you!

If you have published short stories, you can set your profile field as 'published,' by the way. We aren't picky. :)

So you are into languages? That is a valuable asset here. What languages do you know? Have you made any of your own?

Hi, thanks for the warm welcome!

Yes, I am into languages! I actually work as a Language Practitioner :D My mother tongue is Afrikaans, but I speak English just as well. I've also studied/am studying Old Norse, Gothic and Dutch and know a bit of Old Danish, Old Swedish and Anglo Saxon. I have started constructing my own languages.

Hail, and well met!

Like Jay said, your knowledge of languages will be invaluable. (But, you would be a valuable member even without knowledge of languages.)

We would appreciate you assistance in the Community Story project, if you have the time.

Hey! Oohhh, South Africa. Hmm, into languages. I started a language for my story, but so far I've only written two pages about it. :? :D

I hope that's a good "oohh she's from South Africa" and not a "ooohhh noooo, she's from SOUTH AFRICA!" Haha! ;)

The one really fictional language I'm making have some influence from the other languages I know or use in the stories. Hey, with eleven official languages in SA it's difficult to have everyone speaking the same language in my stories!!

I also try to show the influences between the languages, and have different dialects, say American English vs British English vs "Souff" African English.

*Gulp* I think I'm addicted to language... :shock:

Ooooooh! South Africa! Where the World Cup is being held! THAT IS SO COOL!

lol. *tries to regain decorum*

Language is one of the best things to be addicted to in my opinion.;) Awesome to have you here! Gothic sounds extremely interesting, but I haven't had the self-discipline to really learn about it much.:D

Welcome!
