Hello

Arien · **Joined:** February 9th, 2011, 1:08 pm **Posts:** 531

I'm told I should make a thread here to introduce myself, so:

Hello everyone! I'm Arien; I just joined today. Um, I'm not good at introducing myself, because I don't know what to say. :blush:

Let's see; I like books, which is why I attempt to write sometimes. I don't normally get very far before being distracted, but I attempt to write fantasy at times. Oh, and occasionally science fiction, but that doesn't go as well.

Leandra Falconwing · **Posted:** February 9th, 2011, 2:01 pm

Welcome!

*throws glitter all over*

Airianna Valenshia · **Posted:** February 9th, 2011, 2:14 pm

Welcome Arien! We are thrilled to have you join us! Don't worry, everyone around here will beg and plead and give you puppy dog eyes until you write something for them to read. It is very effective and motivational.

You have come to a good group to help encourage you to write, and also to be able to discuss writing and books with. I hope you enjoy yourself.

By the way, make sure you find a shield, you may need it if the jelly bean grenades start going off in your introduction/party thread

PrincessoftheKing · **Posted:** February 9th, 2011, 2:37 pm

Welcome to Holy Worlds, Arien!

Hopefully we can give all the motivation you need!

Lady Elanor · **Posted:** February 9th, 2011, 2:38 pm

Hello and welcome Arien!

We love to encourage people to write

I know people here have encouraged me no end!

No Airi! Not jelly bean, marshmallow grenades! I think we blew up the last thread with them oops!

*Sprinkles glitter dust and confetti around*

Welcome to Holy Worlds... my colleagues have already given away the fact that this is by no means a scholarly forum.

I'd advise you to quickly make a distinguished exit from your intro thread, Arien. If you don't, you may be chained to the door like they did to me earlier. And beware of Elanhil's glitter bombs... he'll be sure to drop one any hour now. I intend to stick around just long enough to disarm it... then send Personality B out a window so as to avoid being chained to the door.

Airianna Valenshia · **Posted:** February 9th, 2011, 3:11 pm

Don't listen to a word he says, Arien! We don't chain new members to the door! We chain pesky ones who are being bad

You're safe.

*growl* I would have let you go if you just. said. the. magic. word!

*ahem* But welcome, Arien!

We aren't all scary, you'll love it here.

As though on a fantasy forum there were only one magic word. Which would you like to hear: abracadabra, cobha, land-law, azuntyyr, aMorgon, etc...?

I love this.. "growl. . . we aren't at all scary."

Airianna Valenshia · **Posted:** February 9th, 2011, 4:27 pm

Please, I think the magic word was the universal please.

Elanhil · **Posted:** February 9th, 2011, 4:39 pm

Welcome to HW! You'll be extremely pleased with the community.

Welcome to Holy Worlds, Arien! I love your username! I'm a book lover too. ^^ I devour books. Feverishly. Literally. :shock:

(Some days I give myself a low grade fever of 99.1. Those are the days I read for 8 hours straight. It's not healthy.)

I tend to bounce around a lot of my writing projects and my dream is to someday finish them. *rolls eyes*

I hope you enjoy the forum. ^^ We're pretty good at motivating and helping people get inspired.

~Calen

P.S. You did fine on your introduction.

Rachel Newhouse · **Posted:** February 9th, 2011, 10:49 pm

New people! We like new people.

Unlike these other souls, that start candy wars and plant glitter bombs, I for one am nice to new people. I just bring cupcakes.

In all seriousness, welcome!

Reiyen · **Posted:** February 9th, 2011, 11:18 pm

I told you Elanhil was coming with one of those bombs... and luckily I am still here to disarm it! No more glitter bombs..

wait... *gasp* I can't reach the bomb! I am still chained to the door.

Aha! Personality B will go undo the bomb! Now Elanhil's doom is sure.

Welcome Arien! Hopefully you'll have lots of fun times here on HW.

We may not be scholarly, but we do have a Scholar's Hall where we can be scholarly. I'm not sure what we usually do with that though; the introductions room is so much more fun!

Anyways, ignore Elanhil and Reiyen. They tend to go around starting rebellions and planting bombs and crazy stuff like that, so we keep them on a short leash.

I brought a welcoming loaf of banana bread!

*eats a cupcake*

*a sly smile creeps slowly across his face as he checks his watch* Too late. *Bomb explodes and glitter instantly fills the room, so you can't even see your hand 3 inches from your face. The fans and air-co keep it circulating and elevated.* We'll soon all be sparkly!

Kiev Shawn · **Posted:** February 10th, 2011, 9:08 am

Welcome, Arien!

I have lots of WIPs too, but if you post some of one, you'll end up being motivated to write more... *looks at the guilty parties*

*coughs* I'm so shiny! :shock:

Arien · **Joined:** February 9th, 2011, 1:08 pm **Posts:** 531

Erm, how am I supposed to breathe in here with all this glitter? Wait, cupcakes? Who cares about breathing! WHERE ARE THE CUPCAKES?!?!?!

Anyway, I think that must be the most entertaining welcomes I've seen.

Airianna Valenshia · **Posted:** February 10th, 2011, 10:49 am

Oh we are full of entertaining welcomes

Kiev Shawn · **Posted:** February 10th, 2011, 10:50 am

Indeed. *hands a cupcake that is mysteriously glitter-free to Arien*

I had the same problem in my promotional thread. (I ended up choking on it.)

Don't worry, I lived. ^^

Yay for entertaining greetings!

You lived? Really? And here I thought you looked dead... :rofl:

Elijah McGowan · **Posted:** February 10th, 2011, 8:21 pm

Welcome Arien. I'm new too, so I'll toss you a life vest if I think you need it and we can try to make it out alive together. Scratch the out, I want to stay here.

Airianna Valenshia · **Posted:** February 10th, 2011, 8:23 pm

You are gonna fit in just swimmingly (no pun intended

), Eli.

Elijah McGowan · **Posted:** February 10th, 2011, 8:29 pm

You just reassured me of my need of a life vest. :rofl:

Rachel Newhouse · **Posted:** February 11th, 2011, 11:31 am

Don't listen to her, Eli. It's quite obvious that you'll be fine and dandy.

Arien, you crack me up already...

BushMaid · **Posted:** February 12th, 2011, 11:35 pm

Luckily HW specializes in toxic free, breathable, eatable, explodable glitter. You will not be harmed, and will ultimately survive.

Arias Mimetes · **Posted:** February 13th, 2011, 12:22 am

Welcome to HW!

Rachel Newhouse · **Posted:** February 13th, 2011, 5:02 pm

I love how you said that, Bushmaid... "will ultimately survive."

I didn't realize the glitter was edible, though!

Elijah McGowan · **Posted:** February 14th, 2011, 10:23 am

Yay! We can now breathe again, knowing that we're using non-toxic breathable-eatable glitter.

Arien · **Joined:** February 9th, 2011, 1:08 pm **Posts:** 531

Ultimately survive...Does that mean I'll die along the way, but be alive at the end?

I also wondered about that...

AAH! A Gandalf quote! We loves that character, and we loves anyone who posts his stuff!

"I wish the ring had never come to me..."
"So do all who live in such times, but that is not for us to say. It is for us to see how we spend the time we are given."

Elijah McGowan · **Posted:** February 14th, 2011, 10:56 am

Yep. Gandalf rocks... :book:

Lady Elanor · **Posted:** February 14th, 2011, 11:54 am

Gandalf is totally cool! Although I hate the actor they picked for him in the films.

By the way is there enough glitter or do we need more? :rofl:

Andrew Amnon Mimetes · **Joined:** May 14th, 2010, 4:43 am **Posts:** 4458

Why not some more? *throws glitter around*

I thought Ian McKellan Rocked. :rofl:

Reiyen · **Posted:** February 14th, 2011, 10:49 pm

He was an awesome actor, he was my favorite for quite sometime. You know they made him a knight? He is now Sir Ian. Unfortunately, it is his lifestyle that I can't approve of... it totally bummed me when I found out.

Elijah McGowan · **Posted:** February 15th, 2011, 7:28 am

Yeah, Sir Ian. :rofl:

Oh... not what I think you're going to say is it? :shock:

Creepy.

Aemi · **Posted:** March 8th, 2011, 9:39 am

This is hilarious! Are all y'all going to come greet me in such a fashion? I'm a new member, too.
Welcome to Holy Worlds, Arien. Already I think you will love it here.

Aragorn · **Joined:** September 23rd, 2010, 3:42 pm **Posts:** 9085

Introduction threads always get at least a little wild.

Lady Elanor · **Posted:** March 8th, 2011, 9:42 am

At least a little? *Looks weirdly at Jon.*

Aragorn · **Joined:** September 23rd, 2010, 3:42 pm **Posts:** 9085

Well, most of the time it's way more than a little.

Rachel Newhouse · **Posted:** March 8th, 2011, 11:39 am

Every once in awhile we have semi-tame welcome threads. On the weekends we're all sick or out of town.
