Welcome to Gaia! ::

I didn't see an intro thread, so figured I'd make one. So... Here goes!

Salve, salut, greetings. I go by Eizo on most of the internet, Cho the rest of it, and I'm not the avid reader I used to be, but I'm still in love with the written word.

I'm a Tolkien/Asimov/Lovecraft/Harris fan, the latter being Thomas, not Charlaine or whoever else. I read a little bit of everything but romance, my two highest being, obviously, fantasy and sci-fi. Psych thrillers sometimes trade spaces between them, though. xD

I'm also a hobbyist artist and writer, with a cast of more than 40 characters to my name, five or six of which are active at any given time. Most active are my vampire(s), a blood/ice mage, and an extraplanar fire entity. And no, they don't get along too well. lol I'm a D&D, Elder Scrolls, and WoW nerd. Comes with the fantasy territory. =D (Seinin, Tauren Druid, Demon Soul server if you play and care to look me up!)

And I think that's all for me. If this gets Stickied, then go right ahead and introduce yourselves, as well!

Lookin' forward to meetin' y'all. :3

Great! Now I don't have to be the first person to speak.

Myself ... I spend too much time dwelling on. Never get into a conversation with me about me.

I used to DnD, I had a Tiefling mage (chaos), a Halfling cleric (lawful-good, you know THOSE two never got along) and sometimes a dragonborn I never used all that much.

I play PWI when I can. I love to read (duh) ... I wish I could do more of it. Lovecraft, Tolkien, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Douglas Adams, Anne McCaffrey, Piers Anthony, LeGuin, Stephen King, Clive Barker, Poe, the Harry Potter series once I actually got into it, Kurt Vonnegut, ... yeah. way too many authors are on my "THAT'S MY FAVORITE WRITER OF ALL TIME" list.
rolleyes

I also write, badly; mostly stories where a lot of people die horribly. I'm more of a visual artist than anything else. I will do free avi-art on request, when I'm not busy.

I'm obsessed with dragons.

I'm a second-year vet student, so my free-time is woefully short. Don't let the whole "vet student" thing fool you. I'm really not all that bright, outside the classroom. Today I burned myself while trying to cook up some rice.

Anyway, enough about me, let's talk about me.

Acheron is a place.
Archenteron is a structure.
It means, quite literally, "ancient gut."
razz
It's an embryological term that I happen to be quite fond of.
It just sounds cool.

Welcome archenteron! biggrin

Hmm...do I have to write that much? haha

Well, I'm musicmagician823, aka Sarah. I just love the fantasy genre because it's the one of the least connected-to-real-life genres out there. I use reading/watching movies to escape from this world and venture into another, and I believe the most effective way to do that is by reading/watching fantasy. In saying that, I haven't been reading as much as I used to lately, but I aim to get back into it over the Christmas holidays.

My favourite book and movie series is Harry Potter, which I am absolutely obsessed with, and I also loved Deltora Quest when I was younger as well as the Rondo series, also by Emily Rodda. I'm constantly looking for suggestions/recommendations from people about what books to read, so feel free to PM me and let me know if you have any smile

As for the writing side of things, I really suck at writing stories sad haha I used to try so hard to write a fantasy story, and I didn't get very far and then I had no idea where to go from the point I was at, so I gave up.

So that's me smile

Amen! biggrin

Welcome, ContrabassClarinetist! I love your username smile

Hello there!
My name is Dyni and I love reading/watching/collection fantasy. Terry Pratchett's Discworld is my absolute favorite genre but there's so much good stuff out there: I love the Harry Potter world, Clive Barker, Tolkien, Jan Siegel, Douglas Adams and many, many more... Fanfiction is my secret vice and I read way to much of it, especially Harry Potter fanfiction... redface
