Hello everyone. My real name is Geoff, but my username is Dorsidhion (pronounce that however you want, I'm not even sure how it's supposed to be pronounced). I found this forum through a link in someone's signature on another forum, and I think I'm going to like it here. I like writing, but I've never had anything published or even finished a story. Look forward to seeing everyone in the forums.

Hullo, and welcome, Dorsidhion! (It's dor-SID-hee-on.) Nice to meet you! And by the way, I like your real name too. :D I once read a sci-fi book that had a semi-main character named that. And I liked him. ;) So your name has good connotations attached to it. :dieshappy:

My favorite genres are probably fantasy and sci-fi, but I've only written fantasy. I might try writing sci-fi at some point. My favorite authors are J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Christopher Paolini, and Wayne Thomas Batson. I have one story that I started. Before I got very far I got stuck because there was no plot, but I'm now going back to salvage what I can from it. Thanks for all the welcomes everyone, and the cake.

Howdy, Geoff! Glad you followed my link!

And Kitra and Calista, the correct pronunciation is (dor-sith-i-on) where the "th" is voiced, as in the word "though", or "that", not as in the word "Sith" from Star Wars. Similar to Maedhros.

_________________
I am Ebed Eleutheros, redeemed from slavery in sin to the bond-service of my Master, Jesus Christ.

Redemption is to be purchased, to have a price paid. So I was redeemed from my master sin, and from justice, which demanded my death. For He paid the price of sin by becoming sin, and met the demands of justice by dying for us.

For all men have a master. But a man cannot have two masters. For he will love one and hate the other. You cannot serve God and sin. So I die to the old, as He died, and I am resurrected to the new, as He was resurrected.

Note: Ebed is Hebrew for bondsman, Eleutheros is Greek for unrestrained (not a slave).
