It's great to meet you Della! I'm also pretty new to Tar Valon, and wasn't sure that I wanted to stay at first. I'm not even really sure what changed for me, but I feel myself becoming more and more addicted every day. Please stick around to join the tower!! We can be novices together ^^
I'm still looking for a long term job, but I have a part time (which is wonderful for paying student loan bills) and I have an interview with my dream publishing house in March! AND I can apply to be a novice here, so life is pretty good :)
More of an "I'm back!"
For those of you who never saw me around, I joined the site earlier this fall. Of course, it didn't occur to me at the time that I would get extremely busy with graduation/job hunt, but things are settling and I'm here to stay!
I'm also on book 5....so good!!
Now...
Awesome. I guess if I had to pinpoint what I'm looking for, it'd be a place where I can exist in the time I'm not reading through WoT and still feel connected to the setting, magic, etc. Sounds like this is going to be a good time :)
Another question for just about anyone (this is a rather silly one) : in a non-rpg way (given Tar Valon is not an rpg site), do you ever like to pretend that you are a novice, Accepted, or Aes Sedai like in the books? Is Tar Valon a satisfying place to exist if you want to be immersed in Randland?
Thank you for sharing! I'm really excited to get to the novice level so that I can access some of the other forums. I'm not sure what I'm looking for just yet, but I feel pretty confident that I'm going to really enjoy my time here :)
