Central Texas peaches are the best! As for social media and such, not getting bombarded is super important for me. I've tried a lot of services over the years, but these days I've settled into my old fall-backs of a messaging/chat platform, e-mail, and a journaling site, with forums like this...

That strikes me as accurate to my experience, Elania Sedai. I have found that most social media platforms are not a good fit for me--I tend to prefer older, slower, and more asynchronous forms of online communication these days, and I prefer to avoid the nonstop stream of public and semi-public...

Hi, Ilissa Sedai, I imagine the chatroom was quite busy so many years ago! I remember being active on quite a few different forums and in various chat rooms around the Web back then. With social media's growth over the years it seems as though it has gotten steadily less and less so. You have...

Many thanks to everyone for the warm welcomes!

Thanks, folks! I hope today will be better as well, and that everyone here has a great day! Ahh, I have missed faire! Between trying to keep safe from The Plague and my previous job, which only let me have one faire-season weekend off in all of three years (ugh), I haven't been with any...

Many thanks once again for all the warm welcomes. Today was a bit rough, and seeing your messages made me smile. :)

Thanks for the recommendations! Also good to know about trilogy versus standalone books. Next time I permit myself to go cavorting at B&N here in town or make a plunder run through like half a dozen Half-Price Books stores in Austin, I'll be on the look-out. Thank you! And may I just say...

So many folks from Texas! :) What I remember of them was a lot of fun. I seem to remember a lot of snorting and giggling over whether Bela was the Creator, the Dark One, or what, as well as lots of silly songs and jokes. ;) That said, I am super happy to have found this community! I look...

Thanks for the suggestion! I haven't had much luck with Discord in other contexts, and I found it could be a fairly big distraction for me if I was not careful about muting things, but that might well just depend on the server. At present I don't have a Discord account (I ditched the old one)...

Thanks again to all the well-wishers and welcomers! I am sure I'll have questions as I go along! At the moment, I'm mostly feeling out what the discussions are like, processing the Membership Manual bit by bit, and getting a sense of where I might fit best. I have an eventual interest in...

I don't remember the names of the various boards for sure, but that does ring a bell! As for kitties, once I figure out how to add pictures and make sure I'm not uploading anything too big, I can certainly oblige. It might have been, because I remember lots of "reply to all" emails at a...

Thanks, all! I will check in on the re-read! I am pretty much resigned to spoilers so many years after the end of the series, so no worries that way...and I'm so naturally forgetful (one of the many delights of ADHD) that I'll probably forget I've been spoiled by the time it becomes relevant. XD...

Good morning to you all! As a newly approved member, I am delighted at the chance to introduce myself. First, feel free to call me either Viktara or Vik, whichever suits you. I am an editor, writer, and lifelong fantasy fan in my early 40s. I currently live in Central Texas with my spouse and...
