Thank you, Stargazer! It's good to hear from you, mate. Been awhile.
Welcome to NarniaWeb, Cleander!
Currently watching:
Doctor Who - Season 11
Warrior! Nice to see you again! I remember the podcast where you guest-starred. I had to come check out this thread when I saw you were the most recent poster.
Movie Aristotle, AKA Risto
Okay, well, I have no idea if I am doing anything right here, but here goes!
1. Name (please avoid your real full name): Artorius Pendragon, or "Arty" if that's too long for you.
2. King or Queen of Narnia (guy or girl): King, and remember, "Once a king or queen of Narnia, always a king or queen of Narnia!"
3. Family (single/married/kids): Single
4. Occupation: None. I work at home, and get paid my college tuition for it. I also am on youtube, but my consistency with that is a big joke.
5. How you learned about NarniaWeb: I learned about it from a friend of mine who lives in TX, who might just be on this site, but for some reason I never asked.
6. How old were you when you first read the Chronicles: I was 17. I read through them all in a week, and quickly became THE VERY BEST THING I'VE READ this year.
7. How many times have you read the Chronicles: 1.2 times.
8. Favorite of the Chronicles: I have tried to come up with lists, and it never ever works. I always end up thinking to much about the ones that I think I won't like, but instead start liking them with just how good they are! I'll try though. My three main favorites have to be, The Silver Chair, The Last Battle, and The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. After that I love The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and Prince Caspian. (FYI, for all you who are wondering, Prince Caspian the movie is not that bad, I've seen far worse adapatations before. If you don't believe me, watch Eragon! *shudder*)
9. Hobbies and/or interesting things about you: I am a huge reader. C.S. Lewis is one of my favorite authors! One series of his that I think is almost as good as Narnia, is the Space Trilogy! OMW that series is AMAZING! BTW, can someone explain, "Till we have faces" to me??? It's amazing, but I can't understand it!
I also love George MacDonald, (and all of you probably know this, but he was Lewis's favorite author)
In adition, as far as hobbies go, I make short films, write poetry, write novels, sometimes post stuff on my youtube channel, and it's not really a hobby, but I read the Bible too. (Hey, I had to throw it in somewhere!)
I'm really excited to be here on NarniaWeb, especially now with the whole Netflix news coming in! Excited to be here guys.
(To all who are interested, you can check out my book youtube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC__yqP ... _as=public)
Further up and further in!!!
You've done a splendid job, Artorius Pendragon, no worries there. A big welcome on NarniaWeb to you, and to you, Cleander! We're really glad to have you both here. From your posts, it sounds like you two will fit in very well on the forum.
Cleander, that is so cool you play the pennywhistle. (I'd love to!) Have you ever had any of your poems published?
Artorius, I really appreciate CSL's space trilogy too. Brilliant, they are. Do you have a favourite of the three?
but I read the Bible too
Good book, that. You're certainly not alone in this on NWeb.
I know what you mean about Till We Have Faces. The first time I read it (quite a long time ago), I was like "Huh?". The second time, years later, I started understanding it. I think. I need to try again. In 2010, we have a reading group here on this book. Here is the link for your perusal: viewforum.php?f=22
Again, welcome to you both!

Welcome to NarniaWeb, Artorius Pendragon! We're glad to have you here.
I'm a fan of George MacDonald, too; we actually have a thread in The Man Behind the Wardrobe discussing his influence on C.S. Lewis and any similarities between their stories. And since you're a huge reader in general, I bet you'd like the books thread here in the Spare Oom!
If you have any questions, feel free to ask, and have fun exploring the forum!
Cheers, Movie Aristotle. It's good to hear from you. I've been binging the old NarniaWeb podcasts. I was in a few more than I remember. I wasn't used to speaking in such a manner, so I found the experience rather difficult at times, but I had so much fun. I hope I'd be more articulate these days. And that I'd be able to politely talk over the top of Rilian, GlumPuddle, GymFan etc.

But for them it was only the beginning of the real story. All their life in this world and all their adventures in Narnia had only been the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the Great Story which no one on earth has read: which goes on for ever: in which every chapter is better than the one before.”

Hey, narnianerd, it's great you finally posted in this thread. Glad you've stayed around!
Welcome to NarniaWeb, Sir Edmond the just. Great username! And I am impressed you have kept tally as to how many times you have read each of the Chronicles, very cool. Enjoy the forum!

Hi there, I'm PrinceRillianIX. I'm a Son of Adam and a King of Narnia. I'm single and a former scriptwriting student. I learned about NarniaWeb from my own research, and I don't think I can remember how old I was, I had first seen the BBC series as I child, as I'm from the UK, and then I went on to read the books.
I couldn't even begin to count how many times I've read the book. I would have to say my favourites are probably Prince Caspian or The Silver Chair. I personally believe these are the two darkest stories in the Narnia series, and the most intriguing story wise. I also love coming up with my own ideas for adaptations, this new Netflix deal has given me a lot of inspiration for what I would do if I was the creative drive of such a production.
PrinceRillianIX, a warm welcome to NarniaWeb! So glad you're here.
If I had to choose a favourite Chronicle, it would be The Silver Chair, but often I will respond that my favourite is whichever one I am reading at the time. Yet TSC always seems to come out on top, with The Horse and His Boy a close second. And the others very close thirds.

Johobbit, Its been a pleasure.
PrinceRillianIX, welcome to the forum my dude, its great to have you. If you're ever in need of a place to exercise some creative juices, I'd highly recommended you take a gander at the Ditto Town section of the forum. It's a place for roleplaying and shared worldbuilding. We have a blast over there, in fact the holiday mansion just started, its a great starting place for new people, because our characters all basically just meet up and hang out. Good times.
SirEdmundtheJust Hey man, welcome aboard the hype train. Personally I wouldn't say that one or the other is better, because I have enough room in my heart for both book series, but your absolutely correct in saying that there are a bunch of us narnia fans out there. We're a pretty introverted and elusive bunch, but we certainly exist.
If you ain't first, you're last.
Joe! It's been great to see your "face" around the forum more lately. Can't believe you're all grown up now and turned into a globe-trotting jackalope mechanic.
And I've already said hi to both of you, but an official dryad welcome to Sir Edmond the just and PrinceRilianIX!
Sir Edmond, I too am impressed that you've kept up with how many times you've read the Chronicles! I've lost count, aside from the fact that I'm sure I've read The Silver Chair the most... all those years where the movie was in development meant that I read the story over and over again, thinking about what the movie would be like. This Netflix news has been a really welcome breath of fresh air, because as much as I love SC, I finally get to think about some of the other stories for a change.
And neat that you've studied scriptwriting, PrinceRilianIX! I was thinking maybe you are an aspiring casting director after reading all of your interesting suggestions in Cast & Character Discussion, so I wasn't that far off the mark. It's an exciting time to be a Narnia fan now that the series is going to Netflix and there are so many things to speculate about... NarniaWeb forum is a great place to share ideas.
Rose, Globe-trotting jackalope mechanic? Yes. Grown up? I wouldn't go that far. It's great to be back and active again, though. I missed you crazy peoples. Even the Dryads.
If you ain't first, you're last.
