Hi! I’m Phaidra (a.k.a. Kate) and I’m not very good at introducing myself, but I’ll give it a try anyway. I was browsing the internet looking for like minded fantasy writers when I came across this forum. I didn’t expect to find something like this, and the next thing I knew was that I was signed up.

Now, I suppose I must say a few things about myself:
- I just recently graduated from high school (I was homeschooled all the way up)
-I wish I were born in the Middle Ages
-I have been in love with horses ever since I can remember and I’ve been riding off and on for about eight years
- I like singing (no, you do not want to hear me)
-I enjoy doing anything artistic.

I am new to the fantasy genre, I mostly dabbled around in historical fiction until now, but I’ve always had a love for books such as Narnia and LOTR. I’ve been dreaming stories up and role playing as far back as I can remember, but it wasn’t until I was about eight that I first realized that someone had to write all those books I was reading. From then on, I began to wonder what it would be like if I ever got published (yep, I dreamed big back then). Now, after ten years of research and a pile of unfinished stories, I still have yet to get anything published or even completed for that matter. I’m still trudging towards that goal, but I’ve discovered that sometimes the process is more fun than the completion of it.

I guess that is about it. This forum looks like a lot of craziness and good discussion and I’m looking forward to being apart of it.

Welcome!

Hi, Kate! It's lovely to have you! *Hands out brownies*

Being born in the middle ages would certainly help with fantasy research.

I have always wanted to be born in the pioneer era, and the modern era and the colonial era, and the American revolution, and the great depression...
Anywho, welcome!

Greetings, salutations, and welcome! I'm known as Milly (among twenty or so other nicknames.. ) but you are welcome to call me Calista if you'd rather. =D I'm so glad you joined!


Yay! 'Nother homeschooler! *High fives*


Neat! I almost know how to ride...I don't get enough practice.


Ah, but yes we do.


Neat! =D Do you like to draw?


You guessed right. This forum is very crazy at times, but I've learned so much from it (and become crazy myself) that I wouldn't trade my Holy Worlds account for a million dollars. (Well, maybe I would, if I could re-register immediately after... Nah, I love these people too much. )

Thanks for the warm welcomes! *Sees brownies* Ooh, chocolate!

You have a good point, Aliza. Sometimes I wish there was time travel just so I wouldn’t have to spend hours on the internet looking up one tiny little detail. Ah, well research can be fun in its own way.

*High fives Milly back* Yep, I love drawing! I mainly do black and white sketches. I’ve not quite got the color stuff down yet, but I’ve always wanted to try painting.

Welcome to HolyWorlds, Lady Phaidra! Love your username, it's so pretty to try and say... *says it in her head*

So glad that you found us! I hope our crazy randomness doesn't scare you... we're all mad here.

All the way homeschool grad, too? Yay! *high-fives fellow homeschool grad*

Welcome to Holy Worlds!

Welcome to Holy Worlds! I was surprised and pleased when I came across Holy Worlds, too.

Thanks! Bush, Phaidra is Greek and means "bright". It is also the name of my MC in my current WIP . And don't worry about the craziness. I'm used to it .

Welcome to HolyWorlds, Lady Phaidra! I hope your stay here so far has been enjoyably crazy.
*hands piece of apple pie*

Hi Kate, welcome to Holy Worlds!



That's pretty much exactly how I came here as well.



Me too, along with being born in pre-flood times, immediately aft-flood times, Colonial America, etc.



I'm the same way, you've definitely come to the right place for help achieving your goals!

Looking forward to seeing you 'round.

It would be handy! Research is fun, though I think time travel would be even better.


*Zooms in on historical mentions* We do have topics about those times on HWHF, you know.

Thanks, DairyMaid and Lycanis .
I haven't gotten around to checking out the HWHF forums yet, but it sounds like maybe I should.

You're welcome.
Maybe you should...I'm a holdout.



Did I, by any chance, just become the victim of HWHF commercial?

Victim?

@Wolf- Perhaps.

@Jonathan-

Don't DO that! I don't think my schedule can take any more awesome forums at the moment!

Yes, victim!

It's nice and peaceful over there. You might as well join the members who are active on all three.

Ah...I suppose so... *is faltering*

*trying to change subject* Where are the refreshments?

*Stops the faltering and gives you a handy-dandy linketh*

*Rolls eyes at subject change and gives you a glass of historical punch*

*clicks linketh*
*is historically punched* OW! Oh, you mean the drink?

Yay!

I meant the drink, silly.

Oh, okay. *slurps punch*

Oh, by the way I just noticed your signature has my "life verse" in it!

Really? It's one of my favorite verses along with Proverbs 3:5-6. Such wonderful promises!

Yes they are!

Welcome to our lovely forum, Phaidra!

Thanks, Calen!
