Hello everyone,
My interest in Wheel of Time, like for many, has been recently reignited by the new tv show. However, it has been ebbing and flowing for over a decade (I am now 37), having read the first and then listened to the audiobooks while doing some menial labor in my early twenties - and till this day the voices of those two narrators are my happy place.
I feel deeply in love with the books (my favorite characters are Moiraine and Nynaeve), I played the video game, I scoured the internet for roleplay groups and chatrooms (including even second life), and spent hours trying to decide which Ajah I would fit into (it was mainly between Blue & Grey). When the announcement came regarding the TV show I honestly had low expectations - fantasy tv shows have rarely been done well and I was concerned it would tarnish my previous experience with the literature. Luckily that was not the case for me; I love the direction the show is taking and while I do not approve of all the changes the spirit of WoT is there and it was more than I was expecting. I am also low key hopeful that since Amazon owns it, and they cancelled their LOTR mmo game - it might mean that one day we will get a WoT mmorpg and I can finally live out my fantasy of being an Aes Sedai!
As for my other hobbies and interests, I work in the sustainability/environmental industry, I love creating fantasy digital art (my avatar is one I created), I enjoy video games as mentioned, and live on 3 acres in the Australian countryside where we have 4 alpacas, 3 chickens, 2 cats, 1 dog and a lovely vegetable and medicinal garden.
I'm looking forward to meeting other's that love WoT as much as I do and participating in the community.
