QueenEsther, welcome to NarniaWeb! We are so glad you joined the community here. :) How cool you have had a small business since such a young age! So, I gather you like crafts. ;) Btw, we will totally not think you're weird when you quote Narnia! B-) You're in good company here!

We do have a photography topic, so let me try and find it ... aha, here 'tis. The thread is now locked, but we can certainly open it, if you wish. Feel free to PM me—or either of the other Spare Oom mods—if you would like us to.
:)

8. Favorite of the Chronicles: The Silver Chair, and probably The Last Battle... this is such a hard question!!

Indeed! In fact, one of my favourite answers to this is "whichever one I am reading at the time". ;)) But if I had to be put to it, I would choose The Silver Chair. Every single one of those Chronicles means so much. ♥

Hi! I've also been a frequent visitor, I was always too shy to just join the forum and participate in the discussions. I hope I can bring nice ideas and opinions just like all of you!

1. Name (please avoid your real full name): Carla
2. King or Queen of Narnia (guy or girl): Queen
3. Family (single/married/kids): Single
4. Occupation: College student. I was studying Journalism, but I had to move to another state, so I stopped and decided to study Museology on a new university, but now I just want to go back to Journalism again, haha.
5. How you learned about NarniaWeb: I can't remember exactly, but I think that I searched online for Narnia websites after watching Prince Caspian, and a lot of news that I read on a site dedicated to Narnia in my country were from here, so I decided to check and here I am!
6. How old were you when you first read the Chronicles: Hm, I think I was 12.
7. How many times have you read the Chronicles: Wow, I don't know! Maybe 10 times? Sometimes I read only a specific book, and sometimes I just read all the chronicles together.
8. Favorite of the Chronicles: What a cruel question! I think My favorite ones are The Magician's Nephew, The Horse and His Boy and The Last Battle. This is so hard!!
9. Hobbies and/or interesting things about you: I'm a huge and passionate fan of A Series of Unfortunate Events!!! I'm from Brazil, I'm vegetarian, I have a dog and I write books, but I've never published any of them, haha. I love animation and I was taking japanese classes for a year, but I had to stop because of university. I'm extremely shy, too. I love the Edwardian and Victorian ages and... I don't know what else I can say!

Hi Lake Lachrymose, welcome to Narniaweb. You write books? That is so cool! I love writing books too, though I've also never published :) if you want, you could check out Writer's World it's a special thread for all those creative people who love to write :)

Ooh the Victorian and Edwarian ages, those are my favorite ages as well :)

Hello wild rose! Yes, but it's just a hobby, nothing serious. I'm not talented, but I love to read what other people write, everybody is so creative! Thank you very much, I'm gonna check!

I know I already extended a welcome over in General Movie Discussion, but I'll say it again: welcome to the forums, Lake Lachrymose! :ymhug:

So glad that you joined us, and it's so neat that you're from Brazil! I've always wanted to visit there. If you have any pics of your dog, you should drop by the pets blog sometime and share one! Oh, and if you have any yummy vegetarian recipes, you could share them over at Food for Thought—I'm always looking for ways to get more veggies in my diet. ;))

If you have any questions about anything, feel free to ask, and have a blast exploring the forum! See you around! :)

Yes! ^u^ Thank you again, you're very kind, The Rose-Tree Dryad! Really? That's nice, it's already spring here and we are all dying from the heat. I'm really thankful, I'm gonna check all of them, and I'll make sure to find good vegetarian recipes to share!

Thank you again!

A hearty welcome to you, Lake Lachrymose! You know, your username sounded awfully familiar, but I couldn't place where, so had to Google it. Of course, A Series of Unfortunate Events! ;))

I was studying Journalism, but I had to move to another state, so I stopped and decided to study Museology on a new university, but now I just want to go back to Journalism again, haha

Interesting! Do you hope to be a museum curator some day? Or are you seriously considering going back to journalism?

Yes, you are in a good company of writers here on the forum. And a number of folk are already looking forward to NaNo in November! :) We should have our annual topic on that subject beginning in later October sometime. (Check out our 2013 thread.)


I hope I can bring nice ideas and opinions just like all of you!

From your posts, you already have B-) and we look forward to more interaction with you here on NarniaWeb. :D

You LOVE to read and you can be a little weird sometimes? *high fives* You're in good company here on NarniaWeb. B-) :D Welcome, Howdy3! And there are certainly some of us who fondly remember Benjamin. :) Say HI to him from us!

How cool that you play the harp! That has been a dream of mine, but I do not know if it will ever come to fruition. I would like to learn the cello too.

Do you tackle NaNo at all? If so, there is a topic dedicated to that subject, as well as a Writer's thread. :) Aaand a Favourite Music topic.

Feel free to ask any questions and ... enjoy! Looking forward to seeing you around the forum. :)

Howdy there, Howdy3! Welcome to NarniaWeb! :-h

It's so awesome that you play the piano and harp! Like Jo, I've always wanted to learn to play the latter. (Piano, too, now that I think of it. I'm not very musically talented. ;)))

In addition to her helpful links, we also have a Musician's Cafe for the musical artists of NarniaWeb, plus a books thread for those who enjoy reading.

Have fun exploring the forum, and glad that you decided to join us! :)

Welcome, Howdy3! Glad to see another NarniaWeb sibling join us.

Very cool that you play the harp. I enjoy listening to harp music, especially those occasions when I can see it performed live.

(Sorry for the late answer, too much things to study for my national exam :-s )

Well johobbit, I was planning to work with archeology and paleontology and on searching for brazilian history as well, but things changed when I got to university. I couldn't study what I wanted and I was practically obligated to do things that I didn't wanted to do, that's why I gave up in Museology. I hope my national exam can bring me good results on january!

Welcome Howdy3! And you play piano and harp? That's amazing!

Hi!

1. Name: Elfiea. But you can just call me Elfie :)
2. King or Queen of Narnia: Queen.
3. Family: I am single. Youngest of three, with two older brothers. I'm still in high school!
4. Occupation: Well, student I suppose.
5. When did you first learn about NarniaWeb: Well, I think I found it in a Google search like around when VDT was coming out, but Princess Anna finally got me to join.
6. How old were you when you first read the Chronicles: I have...no idea.
7. How many times have you read the Chronicles: You expect me to keep track?
8. Favorite of the Chronicles: The Last Battle! But The Silver Chair is a really close second.
9. Hobbies and/or interesting things about you: I do theatre? It's my favorite thing ever and I've done children's, school and community theatre since I was six. I'm also a ninja! A...book ninja. Is that a thing? It should be a thing. I love books. I'm also homeschooled!
I also have way too many fandoms. Right now, I'm really loving Parks and Recreation.
Thanks to daughter of the King for the avatar!

I'm a bit tardy in asking this, Lake Lachrymose, but how did your national exam go last month? I hope well!

Welcome Elfie! Sure glad Princess Anna pointed you here. *waves to PA* A book ninja? What a fun term! There are many of us bibliophiles on the forum, actually. ;)) You'll fit right in.
:D
