I'm a bit tardy in asking this, Lake Lachrymose, but how did your national exam go last month? I hope well!

And now I'm a bit tardy, haha. Sorry johobbit! But it was good, I decided to change my major to Portuguese/Literature and my classes begin tomorrow. I'm super nervous because I'm not very good in making friends and thanks to some issues on my college I'll be starting the classes one week later. I hope I can catch up everything. :-s

    Welcome to NarniaWeb, Firecycle. :-h Nice flags and logos! I listen to a lot of podcasts as well, and can definitely recommend the NarniaWeb podcast. :)

    I haven't had a chance to read Chesterton myself yet, but there are quite a few fans of his work here on NarniaWeb; you might find some good discussion over at the books thread. And if you like video games, this thread might interest you as well.

    Have fun browsing the forum, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

    1. Name (please avoid your real full name): Sofia
    2. King or Queen of Narnia (guy or girl): Princess
    3. Family (single/married/kids): Single (I hate the idea of marriage or having kids, either is something I will never do)
    4. Occupation: None.
    5. How you learned about NarniaWeb: Web search.
    6. How old were you when you first read the Chronicles: I was 12 (The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe).
    7. How many times have you read the Chronicles: More than I can count when I was an adult a year after the Disney LWW came out.
    8. Favorite of the Chronicles: Lion, Witch, Wardrobe.
    9. Hobbies and/or interesting things about you: I love to draw, make costumes, occasionally write stories.

    - I'm an adult, but a child at heart.
    - I get lonely easily and barely have any friends to talk with in personal life and internet. :/

    - I tried another Narnia website where people chat in the chatroom often, but what angers/upsets me is that the moderator won't allow me to speak anything of 'Sofia the First' just because Sofia is learning magic and has a "good witch" friend. I'd like to show my picture arts of her (all family friendly, I assure ya) to my friends there, but the mod won't let me. So, I came here where hopefully my likes can be accepted.

    - I love the Disney shows/movies
    *Doc McStuffins,
    *Sofia the First,
    *Disney's Frozen.

    Hi Alice_WL. You've been on the forum for awhile (and you make amazing costumes, from what I recall!), so we're glad you've stayed around. Good to see you posting here so we can get to know you better. I'm not really into Disney, but I know of more than a few on NarniaWeb who are. :D If you want to talk Disney movies, there's Past Movies topic to discuss. Also, there are Present Movies and Future Movies topics, as well. :)

    - I'm an adult, but a child at heart.

    Ditto. ;)) :)

    We have an Artists' Haven topic here in the Spare Oom, if you want to post any non-Narnian artwork there. (And yes, thanks for keeping it family-friendly. :) ) It's currently locked, but I would be glad to unlock it, if you wish. Just let me know (via PM is fine).

    Hey all, I am new here. Just wanted to give a quick introduction.

    1. Name: Kevin LionsMane
    2. How I learned about NarniaWeb: After seeing the first film (The Lion, the Witch, & the Wardrobe), I found NarniaWeb through Social Media.
    3. How old was I when I first read the Chronicles: I am new to the series. I have only been a fan of the books and films now for 10 years.
    4. Favorite of the Chronicles: I enjoy aspects from each of them, but my overall favorite would probably have to be: The Lion, the Witch, & the Wardrobe.
    5. Hobbies & Interests: God, Animals, Music, Movies, Poetry, Art, Photography, & Entertainment.

    Thanks! :)

    Hi and a very big welcome to you, Kevin LionsMane! Yep, there is a very special something about LWW, isn't there?! :D Btw, I really like both your signature and avatar. Beautiful!

    Over the years we have had topics here on pretty much all of of the hobbies/interests you listed. Currently, some may be further back in the Spare Oom pages (possibly even locked now :P yet that doesn't mean they can't be unlocked to allow further comments), but there are still a few near the front:

    *Movies thread, and we even have a Star Wars thread with the anticipated upcoming movie
    *Musician's thread

    Ask any questions and, again, welcome to the forum! :)

    Hi Kevin! I'd like to think I welcomed you during the LWW viewing a couple days ago, but things were so hectic both in the chatroom and in my own house, I may not have. So welcome! :D Glad you came and glad to have you on the forum. Here's hoping we'll have lots of Silver Chair news to discuss in the future.

    Welcome to NarniaWeb Forums, Kevin! :-h (Ditto to Jo about your avatar and signature—both are very cool!) It was nice meeting you the other day at the Watch Party, and I look forward to seeing you around the forum in the future! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask! Have fun exploring all of the different discussions. :)

    Johobbit, fantasia_kitty, & The Rose-Tree Dryad,

    Greetings and thank you all for the warm welcome! It is truly an honor and blessing to be part of a forum with such nice folk as yourselves. I am anxiously awaiting the Silver Chair film! Thank you very much for the kind words about my avatar and my signature, greatly appreciated! Hope to see you all around the forum or the member chat! :)

    NarniaWeb Newbie

    1. Name (please avoid your real full name): ErlianRain. Kind of an interesting name, I know :T I chose Erlian because The Last Battle is my favorite book in the Narnia series, and for some reason I've always really loved King Erlian's name. Since I used to name pets after Narnia characters, I have a large collection of the obscure ones. As to the "Rain" part, that name and I go way back. When I was in middle school I created a character named Rain, and she and I have stuck together through a lot of stories throughout the years. We grew a lot over the years, so I like to include her in my many variations of usernames >v<

    2. King or Queen of Narnia (guy or girl): Queen

    3. Family (single/married/kids): Single

    4. Occupation: I will be teaching English in South Korea soon~ I just graduated college

    5. How you learned about NarniaWeb: glumPuddle told me to join because we both are nerds about Narnia. And I mean it's Narnia, so how could I refuse?

    6. How old were you when you first read the Chronicles: I read them for myself when I was around 11, but before that my mom would read them to me. It's been a long time~

    7. How many times have you read the Chronicles: So many times I've got most of the key passages memorized. Ask me a question about the books and I'll probably know the answer off the top of my head :3

    8. Favorite of the Chronicles: The Last Battle <3

    9. Hobbies and/or interesting things about you: I'm a big reader and writer, those are definitely my favorite hobbies. Other than that I draw (traditional sketching and digital art), play music (piano/guitar/some violin), dance (mostly hip-hop and KPOP dances), and watch movies. I'm a huge movie buff. My favorite class I took in college was definitely Shakespeare and Film because it combined two of my favorite things––the Bard and movies! ;)

    Well, I'm very glad to meet you all :) I look forward to geeking out with you about Narnia :D

    Welcome to NarniaWeb, ErlianRain! :-h I like your username; the shared letters in "Erlian" and "Rain" give it a nice aesthetic. :D

    Very cool that you used to name pets after Narnia characters; I'd love for you to drop by the Pets Blog and tell us about them sometime!

    So neat that you'll be teaching in South Korea soon! Enjoy the kimchi. :D

    Since you like reading and watching films, I'll recommend the books thread and the movies thread over here in the Spare Oom. There's often good conversation to be found in both of those threads.

    Glad that you joined us! Enjoy exploring the forum, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask! :)
