'Ello, everybody! I'm Lady Abigail, and :blush: I seem to have posted out of order.
Well, I'm new, so...greetings and salutations!
(Your role-playing rooms are funny, by-the-by)
I am so happy I found out about Holy Worlds! Heehee, actually, the day before I came here I was complaining to my mother that nobody else in the world thought like I did...and y'all proved me wrong! :dieshappy:
I enjoy fencing, drawing, dressing up, singing, acting, and WRITING! ;)

Welcome, Lady Abigail! Glad you're enjoying Holy Worlds!

Welcome to Holy Worlds, Lady Abigail! Who are your favorite authors? Is fantasy your favorite genre to write in?

Hi Lady Abigail! Nice to see you have an introduction thread here!

I'm Balec!

Thank you Elly, Jonathan, and Balec! I'm glad to be here!
Hmm...my three favorite authors are J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and Bryan Davis. I hope to be as good an author as they are someday...
Yes, fantasy is my favorite genre, both to read and write, because I get to research interesting things like Aztec civilizations and destroying angel mushrooms! (and create fun monsters like Elquen!)

Tolkien and Lewis are two of my favorite authors. I still need to read Bryan Davis. I hope to soon.


The monsters are one of my favorite parts of fantasy, too.

Greetings, Abigail! What are your current works in progress? Also, how many of Davis' books have you read? Are you one of the ones who have read all of them, or are you like me and slowly catching up with all of the books he's published?

Welcome to HolyWorlds, Abigail! So happy to have you!

Thank you, Bushmaid and Atrea!
I have one one WIP right now, titled "Alastair: Fireheart" after the title character. I'm hoping to post chapters here for feedback soon!
Well, I own all of Dragons in our Midst, Oracles of Fire, Children of the Bard (that are published so far), and the Dragons of Starlight series (he signed them!! ) so...I still have to read Tales from Starlight, and the rest of the Children of the Bard books. So...I've read most of them. Which ones have you read, and who's your favorite characters? (For me it's Sapphira Adi for OoF and either Koren or Cassabrie for DoS.)
@Jonathan: yes, you should! They are very good, I particularly like Dragons of Starlight series.
Heehee...the monsters are fun. It's the locations that always kill me though...my locations are always so horrible!

Welcome Abigail! What's "Alastair: Fireheart" about?

Hello, Lady Abigail! Welcome! We are so glad to have you here. What do you like dressing up best as?

Welcome, welcome, welcome! It's been awesome seeing you around, Abigail!

How did you find us?You fence?

Oh boy. Well, you asked for it:
"Alastair: Fireheart" is my attempt to remedy our society's view of true love. Which is funny, because it isn't a romance. But I see love as how God sees us, it's a passion, a sacrifice. We seem to see it as some stupid, mushy, fuzzy feeling that can be tossed out. I hate that. So, Alastair, my MC, is coming from a society of castes and no devotion, and his character arc ends with him giving a great sacrifice to save someone else's life. (I haven't worked out the details yet). The main subplot is that with God on our side, we never have to be afraid. (Alastair goes from being scared of everything to a fearless defender of mankind (hence the name Alastair).)

Hmm...gee.....I've been elves, hobbits, Jedi, and pirate humans...I think I liked being a Jedi and being a hobbit the best. Most livable costumes. do you like to dress up?

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I found out about Holy Worlds through a link on Kingdom Pen, which was referred to me by a friend and fellow writer.
Yes, I do (or used to do...i still practice randomly) foil fencing. Last year I got first place in our group's tournament. do you fence? I want to learn how to use a quarterstaff.

Welcome to Holy Worlds, Lady Abigail! It's lovely to have you join us here.

What part of the writing process do you love the most, as in writing, plotting, character development, world building etc?

What's horrible about them?

Oooh, fun! I used to dress up a lot as an Elf, a pirate, a fine lady in a grand dress, a book character, etc. I just don't have time now.

I've read DioM, Echoes from the Edge, Dragons from Starlight, Tales from Starlight, Oracles of Fire except Bones of Makaidos, and the chapters from Song of the Ovulum that don't have Joran and Selah in them ( It's complicated...) I like Nathan Shepherd and Darryl (from Echoes from the Edge) the best, probably. Marcelle from Tales from Starlight is a fascinating character as well, though.

Welcome to Holy Worlds! I'm glad we were able to prove you wrong in writer-related ways. It's so nice to have the kinship we have here on HW, isn't it? I hope you're having a good time. ^^

@Idril: You sound like you've had fun costumes! Which was your favorite?

@Jonathan: Hmm...I don't know, they are uninteresting the way I describe them...

@Aratrea: Heehee the covers on the "Echoes from the Edge" books freak me out...I've been afraid to pick them up. Are they very good? Ohohoh Tales of Starlight!! I'm dying to read them!! Marcelle? Reallyyyyyyyy..........

@Calenmiriel: well, if one is never proven wrong, then one can never learn, yes? Haha if that's the case, then I need to learn a LOT.....Oh, I think HW is awesome. My family cahn't get me to shut up about it!.

The pirate costume, I think. Or the random, various book characters. I would even role play whoever I was dressed as.

Oh wow, you did that too? Yay! Haha I remember when I was Lucy Pevensie for a costume party, and I was stuck talking in a British accent for two days after...it was ridiculously funny.

Perhaps Holy Worlds can help you write them the way you want to.

*gasp* O.O that would be amazing!! I will definitely be bugging all Holy Worlders very soon about them!

Cool! That must have been lots of fun!

It was fun.

Hello, Lady Abigail! We are so happy to have you! Thank you for joining us in our adventures, we hope you enjoy you stay!

Thank you, Airianna! I have been having a blast so far! This place rocks!!

Welcome welcome welcome! I'm so glad you joined HW! You do fencing? (Like, sword-type fencing?) That is amazing! I would love to learn to do that!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm glad I joined too! I have learned a lot about writing by peeking in on all y'all's world threads. Yeah, I foil fence. (Foils are the swords in Princess Bride, only ours aren't sharp). It's not that hard, it's sortof like....chess and aerobics and....I dunno. All I know is it's fun! What do you like doing?

That sounds absolutely amazing!

Me? Um, I like to draw and write and read...and go rappelling and canoeing (Why doesn't Kansas have any large bodies of water?? ) etc. XD

Thanks! It IS really fun. I love doing it. I need to get back into practicing...I've slacked off lately...Ooh, I love to draw!! What do you usually end up drawing? *for me it's people, with the occasional dragon*
Rappelling? Oh my. Doesn't that involve...heights? You're very brave!
One of my friends canoes...I haven't tried it yet. I kinda want to. Is it fun?
. Kansas dursn't have large bodies of water? Where I live there's 5: H.O.M.E.S. *hint hint*

I usually draw humans and dragons too... Only I can't draw men for some reason. I think I have a problem with making characters masculine.
Rappelling actually isn't that scary. Once you're on rope, it's very secure. And fun. I love dropping like a rock and scaring the belayer into thinking I'm falling. :halo:
Yes, canoeing is the greatest fun! It's also very tiring if one hasn't worked their arms enough (that'd be me...)
Teehee, there aren't any Great Lakes in Kansas. It's all rolling pastures and fields. And some trees here and there. XD

You do? *sparkly glitter streamer cannon goes off* I can do men's faces...the soft lines of women's and children's jawlines I find a little harder...and the long hair... but I can do both if the mood strikes me. Do you prefer drawing realism or manga?
if you say so...I got butterflies just thinking about it... That's hilarious! HeheHeehee!
Canoeing...Hmm. I shall have to investigate this...
OooooOOOOOoooooooo, sounds like a good place for a short film shoot. There aren't any Great Lakes in Kansas? Whaaaaat? *laughs* I never heard of such a thing!

Haha, I can't draw manga to save my life. I'll stick to realism. It's good for book illustrations. *Nod*
It's kind of like flying....down.
*Grins* Well, if you come down to shoot a film, be sure to drop by our place! XD

I cahn't draw manga either. one of my friends is really good at it though.
haha, so...falling? Heehee flying down...I like that one.
I'll be sure to do that! Have you ever made any short films?

Welcome to Holy Worlds!

Did someone say short films?!

*Chuckles* My sisters and I have done short videos, but only for YouTube and our own enjoyment.

Thank you!
Yep. That'd be me. Do you like doing short films?


[Jealous] you've got a sibling?! Luckieeeee.[/jealous] I have to drag my friends into doing it with me...YouTube? *goes off to investigate YouTube* I have made several for my own enjoyment, but I'm thinking of putting them up on YouTube...

(I agree, I'm quite lucky. ) Oh, if you put them up, do show us!

This is a short 'movie' we did several years ago.

Oh fine then, rub it in.
*scratches head, trying to figure out how in the heck to put up a link* If I knew how, I would, but I don't, so I cahn't.
Aw, I love that video! It's so fun! *and I can sympathize with trying to get girls to look guy-ish...I've done it many times* Probably the most awkward time was when I had to get my BFF to look like Frodo Baggins... That was madness.
If I manage to figure out this linky business, I shall post The Adventures of Dr. Disappear.
