Megana Vallentin
Aes Sedai
Greetings!
I signed up here several years ago, but was completely overwhelmed by the volume of posts on this site. I heard that you switched to vBulletin recently and thought I'd give this another try. I'm a little more familiar with vB, so hopefully that helps me keep track of everything.
About me, I answer to Megana or Meg just the same. I started reading the books maybe 15 years ago (wow, so long!) and just finished a re-read the other day. I was excited to realize there's an Aiel Wise One who bears the name Megana, but personally I'd like to be Aes Sedai. I have cosplayed as a member of the Gray Ajah a few times in the past and it's pretty nifty that there's a place on the internets that gives people a chance to kinda sorta officially become Aes Sedai. If I manage to keep up this time, maybe I'll look into all of that!
Answers to the suggested questions, for lack of anything else I can think of to say...
1. Favorite WoT character and why? I really disliked Egwene when I first started reading, but in the few books my opinion completely reversed and now I am so completely impressed with her. I remember the first time I read the books, being frustrated by how crazy all the women seemed. Egwene's transformation restored my faith in WoT's women and in the Aes Sedai. (Though I still think the women of this series in general are nutso.)
2. How did you find us? Years ago, I was very active on several online messages boards. As I eventually moved on from those, I started looking for new places and as one of my major interests, I googled for WoT communites and found you.
3. What do you do (student, job, etc)? I build websites for an ad agency. I work mostly with Joomla or custom PHP stuff, but I also manage a vBulletin forum for one of our clients, so yaaaay vBulletin!
4. Favorite book/author (other than WoT)? Peter S. Beagle, Christopher Pike, Elizabeth Kerner, Patricia Briggs, Jim Butcher, Anne McCaffrey....to name a few. I've also become a fan of Brandon Sanderson thanks to this series.
5. Anything you need help with? Not drowning in all the posts around here? Hah!
