Hey Everyone,
I'm Addilatra or Kassie. :) I love fantasy writing and I've been working on my fantasy book for about three years now! C. S. Lewis is my favorite fantasy author and one who inspires me! Now, I have no idea where to start or how to get started. I would love some help with that!

Welcome to Holy Worlds Addilatra. You chose a beautiful username, by the way. Does it have any meaning? :D

Oo! C.S.Lewis is my favorite author too! He's the reason I started writing fantasy. I'm glad to find a fellow Lewis Lunatic and I'm sure you're bound to find more on here. :dieshappy:

Anyways, *throws tacos in the air* I hope you enjoy this forum and all its craziness!!

Welcome to Holy Worlds! :D

This is a big forum, and perhaps the easiest place to start is: General Discussion.

If you want to share something you've written and get feedback on it, or read what others on the forum have written, there is: The Fireside.

Or, if you want to read a review or write a review of something, there is: The Watchtower.

Addilatra!!! What a gorgeous name! It has that particular ring to it... *stares off into space in a heroic manner*

Ok, weird moment aside, I'd love to hear about your fantasy story! What's your favorite part about it? Oh, and C.S. Lewis? Amazing author, right? What's your favorite book of his?

Enough questions - time for some glitterization! *throws star-shaped glitter snowflakes around. Dishes out specialty apple pie, fresh from the oven, somewhat glitter-splattered and oh-so-delicious. Jon eyes it with envy*

Well, the name Addilatra is actually from my story! I have to say my favorite at the moment, by C. S. Lewis, is "Prince Caspian"! :book: I've learned so much from it... I found my way from The Rebelution.com. :)

I have to say my favorite part of my fantasy story...is the main character! Also the country itself... Carakastin! But I also like the Cave Village, and Forest Hall. I could go on...

Phila--Yes, you can! :) I do, it's a story based in the 1700s. Oh and I'm thinking about putting a poetry book together and another book based off the things I've learned in "Prince Caspian". :dieshappy: So many ideas... so little time! Thanks, everyone, for the warm welcome... *takes a bow*

Addilatra, I agree with everyone; that is a great, cool, beautiful name. And if you can dream up a name like that, then I'm excited to read what you write on here.
I've brought ice cream. Every possible flavor. Also cones. And whipped cream. And fresh cherries. Enjoy!

Prince Caspian? That's certainly a good one. I think I prefer The Magician's Nephew, probably, though it's definitely a close call!

Sounds like your story is coming along great - you're excited about it, which is certainly a plus! Go ahead and post around, if you will!

*Jon, I knew I could count on you!*

All of these ideas sound wonderful! You must post more about your story around the forum, yes? And, if you pursue either your poetry book or the PC idea, you must keep us updated on those, too! We'd love to help you if you need any assistance working out your ideas, as well. So ask/post away!

The "things learned from PC" sounds like a very interesting and informative project - something I'd be interested in reading. Have you considered making it a series of blog posts, or do you have enough thoughts to fill a book? What about a short ebook?

Have you seen the new(ish) PC movie by Disney/Walden? I love it! I can't remember the book very well, though.

There are a lot of Rebelutionaries around here. :D

Welcome, Addilatra! Such a lovely name 'tis, as others have said before me. So what was your inspiration behind the name?

A Lewis fan! I am a rather big Lewis fan, though, the older I get, the more I am a fan of the man, more so than the author. :D

We would love to see story excerpts from you *wink wink *.

*sprinkles glitter in the bare thread *

What, so we have to make the newbies wait until you come home before they can join and post? For that matter, the rest of us have to wait to meet them until you get back? :shock:
