Hello! I am Seiera Krikellis, and I have been a WoT fan since somewhere between the release of Knife of Dreams and The Gathering Storm. I found TVN on Facebook. I have loved reading all my life and realized fantasy was my genre when I was in middle school. By day I am a pharmacist, saving up to buy land and chase my dream of having a horse farm. I spend most of my free time reading, dabbling in some video games with my friends, and taking riding lessons. I took a huge break from reading the 8 years I was in college, and in the few years since I graduated I've been making up for lost time. Naming a favorite book would be hard, because the list is long. WoT, Sanderson's Cosmere, Kingkiller Chronicles, Naomi Novik's Temeraire and Schoolomance, Pern, Red Rising, Jane Lindskold's Firekeeper books, Green Rider, Kate Daniels, Mercy Thompson, Inheritance Cycle, Black Company, just so give a sample of what I read. I am currently working on Malazan, Ranger's Apprentice, and the Echoes Saga (no spoilers for these please).
I would really like to be more active in fandoms of my favorite books, so this seems right up my alley. I've read that the ajahs here are a little different than the book ajahs, so I'm curious to learn more at some point.
I have seen the show and will continue to watch it, but I have mixed opinions. I'm mostly just excited that we have a show at all. I have seen a fan in the wild wearing a WoT shirt who enjoyed the show but knew nothing about the books, so the show is definitely growing our fandom.
Hmm, what else could I share. I guess I could talk about my account name. Seiera is old tongue in the books for blue-eyes, which is the name of a flower and one of Min's horses. Krikellis is a word I put together myself from two old tongue words, kriko meaning bird and ellis meaning sun. I was trying to make the word "phoenix" and sunbird was the best I could do that still sounded good in my head.
Anyway, it's nice to meet you all!
Edit: One last thing. I feel a little lost with the avatar creation. I've seen the resources listed for the Smithsonian and the avatar creator, but I just don't know how to start.
