Tada!

[Sioranth]

Ok, well, not really, but hello! I just joined up this morning as I'm hoping to connect with other fantasy writers/readers, possibly share some work, hopefully get some feedback at some point (I still need to develop a thicker skin).

I have a self-published poetry anthology and a fantasy novelette floating around online, and I'm "working on my novel" (who isn't? lol), two of them actually (one supernatural YA and one fantasy/adventure/romance).

I am terrible at these introduction posts but I'm great at answering questions or just waving hello from the pretty flower-patterned wallpaper over here. *waves*

Hello and welcome to Mythic Scribes.

I'm convinced if you just hang around, even for a bit, you'll connect with more fantasy writers and readers than you can shake a stick at. There's loads of us here.
Best thing to do is to just dive in there. Ask a question, answer someone else's question, provide some insights or just share your own experiences from your own writing. I know sharing what you've written can be difficult, but there really isn't a better way to get that thicker skin growing than to have someone read those words you've been pouring over. It may sting a bit, but it will get better.

Again, very welcome. I hope you'll enjoy it here.

Hail and well met Sioranth
This is a great place to learn and share.
Ignore all the tales about the beer and the stew.
The ones about the dragon out-back are all true.

*slowly pushes away the tankard and bowl*

I apparently have a lot of rumor-mongering to catch up on around here before I get myself into trouble. Thanks for the warm welcomes! Hopefully, I'll have more time to explore the forums in depth later today. I'm supposed to be "working" or some such nonsense right now.

I'm telling you, he was alive before he ate the stew and afterwords . . . he wasn't. Plus something definately moved in that beer, unless a mage was tricking me.

Anyway, welcome to the Scribes! Don't worry the tea is perfectly fine. All you need to do now is pay the spider ten cookies and you'll be good to go.

 

[GeekDavid]

Welcome! I see you've been warned about the beer, stew, and the dragon out back, so I'll just say hi!

Oh, keep an eye out for wild chats. They happen almost every evening, but aren't always publicly visible, so if you see an invite on the bottom of your screen, don't be scared.

 

[Ireth]

Welcome here! One final warning, since nobody's mentioned it yet -- don't sit on the halflings or the cats, they don't like it. XD Oh, and be sure to pay due respect to Steerpike, our Benevolent Feline Overlord. All hail Hypnocat!

 

[Sioranth]

Egads, so many things to remember! Maybe I should be taking notes? Or eating more cookies? Cookies sounds like a good option as I've plenty and there's even some red velvet cake over here. Do spiders accept cake in lieu of cookies? Does Steerpike the Benevolent Feline Overlord accept sacrificial pie?

I'm practically the size of a halfling myself (ok ok, that's a wee bit of an exaggeration there) so I think they're probably safe...unless they have cookies or pie or cake. Then all bets are off.

Dragons, cats (overlord and otherwise), halflings, cookie-eating spiders, creepy crawly beer, and who knows what in the stew... Am I missing anything?

 

[GeekDavid]

Red velvet cake? Cookies?

Christmas party at Sioranth's house!

 

[Sioranth]

I love parties! Traditional dobos torte for the holiday though (and cookies and cake and turkey and sausage/cranberry/apple stuffing and...and...and...). Also, alcohol. A lot of alcohol. >.> And A Christmas Story and Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas on a continuous loop for 24 hours straight.

 

[GeekDavid]

Don't forget this one.

 

[Sioranth]

No. Just no. Bad, GeekDavid, bad. At least make it Bob Rivers' Twisted Christmas.

 

[Ireth]

Can't forget the other classic specials too! Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, A Charlie Brown Christmas, The Year Without a Santa Claus, Santa Claus is Comin' to Town, and pretty much any version of Dickens' Christmas Carol. Disney has a good one with Scrooge McDuck (of course), and also there's the Muppets!

 

[Sioranth]

Charlie Brown Christmas is one of my favorites but the 25th is reserved for A Christmas Story. All. Day. Long. It's kind of a running joke in my family, especially between me and my uncle. The number of times you hear "Ralphie!" shouted (followed by mad giggling) could make your ears bleed. lol I have been known to walk around singing Snow Miser and Heat Miser though...

Oh gosh, yes. I have to wonder if snyone's tried turning that into a drinking game... and how that worked out for them. XDDD

Totally doing that this year...

 

[Spider]

I hope I'm not too late to the party, but...

I'll take it all!

Welcome to the Scribes, Sioranth. I look forward to chatting with you!

 

[Sioranth]

Good thing I brought extra! Thanks for the welcome, Spider. I'm having a lot of fun here so far.

 

[Stare At Shadows]

You rhymed for me,
I'll rhyme for you:
As you can see
I'm not really very good at this poetry lark...

Welcome anyway.:wink:

 

[Sioranth]

Tsk, tsk! I was expecting a Shakespearean sonnet. Thanks for the welcome!
