| Hello~! My names Xoffelokin, or Xoffelocin, or Xoffy, or just Nicole. : ) (This is the first time I have a "k" instead of a "c" in my username, so bear with me if I spell my own name wrong at times!) I found Holy Worlds from googling "christian fantasy writers forum" or something along those lines, and after spending hours reading through various topics, I thought I better join! I consider myself a relatively new Christian, having given asked Him into my heart almost a year ago now (has it been that long?!), so I feel I still have a lot of room to grow in my walk. My favorite books include The Last Unicorn, Howl's Moving Castle, The Princess Bride, A Little Princess, The Neverending Story, and a bunch more that would make this post 1274869561875687 million miles long. I'm finally starting CS Lewis and Tolkein, and loving it so far. : ) I'm also a big Doctor Who fan and LOVE fairy tales. Anyways, I really enjoy fantasy writing, mainly wordbuilding, even if I'm really terrible at it. And now that I'm a Christian, I feel like I want everything I do to glorify Him and draw me closer, not be a distraction, which my writing was becoming without having Him in its center. So, I was super excited to find this forum. : D I'm looking forward to making friends with all of you! | |

We strive to honor God here with everything we say and write, which makes it a great habitat in which to grow as Christians, and writers.  I can't wait to see you around here! A good way to get to know people is to get on the chat room (the button for it is at the top of the site  ). | |

| Welcome, welcome Xoffy!!  *Hands you a plate of cookies* So glad to have you join us! *Throws purple and gold glitter* Curious question - how do you pronounce Xoffelokin?

So, I was super excited to find this forum. : D And let me assure you we are just as excited you found us! We love having new people, and you sound like one of us already.  Worldbuilding - check. Love of fantasy - check. Doctor Who fan - check. (I'm not a DW fan since I've never seen it, haha, but there's a lot of them here.  ) Wanting to glorify God through writing - check. *Grins*  Xoffelokin wrote: I'm looking forward to making friends with all of you!  Right back at you.  ~ZA | |

| Xoffelokin= Zawf-el-oh-kin. It used to be when ever I joined a forum I would have a contest for everyone to try and pronounce it. xD And oh... a secret... It used to be Xoffelocin, so Xoffelocin | nicoleffoX Nicole F Fox! Only the Nicole is my real name-the rest added on because I wanted an X.   Quote: I can't wait to see you around here! A good way to get to know people is to get on the chat room (the button for it is at the top of the site ). Chat Rooms always intimidate me, I'm so shy. xDD Although, the forum I used to frequent (now dead) had a pretty sweet one, so I should probably just get over myself and head over, huh? xD | |

And I immediately wished I'd come a lot sooner so I could have gotten to know people starting sooner.  ) That said, everyone's different. =) But yes, I'd encourage you to at least try. Awesome, friendly people abound there (unless it's empty xD).   | |

| Welcome to HolyWorlds, Xoffy! (And yes, I'm cheating by taking the easiest form of your name to spell.  ) Hope you enjoy your time here! Make sure you explore the place, but don't get lost, the cupcakes might eat you...   | |
