Welcome back, Trusty! I too was shocked to hear that SC was going to be made, and I still don't know how I feel about it. If you want to express your uber-awesome-Autralianness, I'd head over to the Cultural Curiosities thread in Spare Oom. There, you'll meet waggawerewolf27 and IloveFauns, both of which are also from Australia
Either way, welcome back!!!

Hey, Trusty, welcome back to the forum! How fun that you are from Australia. As DiGs mentioned, we have a few regular members from that great continent. Warrior 4 Jesus is another one.
It's very cool that seeing the actual PC beach scene was what reminded you of NarniaWeb. I do recall your former username—Servant Warrior—from the old forum. And how excellent you have been to the Kilns. 'Tis my dream someday ...
Pssst, there is an Astronomy topic in the Spare Oom. We'd love to see you there! (There is also a Space thread, in case that interests you as well. )
Good to have you here again!

I do remember Warrior 4 Jesus being Australian, and a couple of others! I don't think I've met the ones you've mentioned yet, DiG.
But thank you both for the warm welcome. I'm surprised johobbit that you remember my previous username from that far back, though I do remember yours too. Will be seeing you guys around I'm sure.
I think your name stood out so much because it is such a cool combination ... a leader with a servant-heart.

Welcome back, Trusty! I remember you from before as well.
But all night, Aslan and the Moon gazed upon each other with joyful and unblinking eyes.

Greetings to you all! *Nods to Jo and Trusty* Nice to see you here instead of Facebook, once again.
I figured I would reintroduce myself to this fine establishment after Trusty told me he was returning for a time. He and I met here many years ago and have had a few adventures across the interwebs. And of course there is Jo, my favorite weather reporting Hobbit from the northwest.
My name is Todd, or as I was once called here, 'Odd Todd the fox for God' I first found Narniaweb...oh my, it was today, 8 years ago. Interesting...I didn't even realize it until now. Narniaweb has meant so much to me, it is a pity I haven't been here more in the past 5 years or so.
Among the many things I have to thank Narniaweb for is my lovely wife (Frodo_Lion). As I understand it, we are one of but a few couples that met here. I think that is super special and I like to brag about it.
I'm 25 now, have a son (named Peter...though not really because of Narnia *gasp*) and am finishing up my master's degree in meteorology. I'm also building a private weather forecasting company with hopes of that becoming a long and fruitful career. I hope I will be around more than my previous one or two post returns in the past. Good mortereve to you all!

Yes! So glad you decided to come! This will be fun. We have indeed had many adventures haha (nearly all Narnian-themed of course) but I'm glad we've done a full circle back to NarniaWeb. 8 years to this day, you say? Wow. Good timing.
Narnian_Storm! Wow, what a treat to see you on NarniaWeb again, and on your 8th anniversary too.
I love it that you met Frodo_Lion here on the forum (brag away ), now are married, have a young son, and are completing your Master's! All the best as you finish this last lap. Since one of my strong desires as a teen was to be a meteorologist (which never came to fruition(, this quite tickles my fancy.
Yep, it's good to keep in touch via FB, but even better right here!
And of course there is Jo, my favorite weather reporting Hobbit from the northwest.
*said Hobbit bows respectfully, furry feet deep in the snow, "At your service".

1. Name (please avoid your real full name): Thunder-Fist, or Corin.
2. King or Queen of Narnia (guy or girl): King.
4. Occupation: I own a bookshop.
5. How you learned about NarniaWeb: I stumbled across it in mid 2005 researching the upcoming LWW film.
6. How old were you when you first read the Chronicles: Not sure. I remember sneaking into my older sisters' room while my mom read to them. I must have been five or six. I think I read the books on my own for the first time when I was nine.
7. How many times have you read the Chronicles: I've lost count.
8. Favorite of the Chronicles: It constantly changes, but The Horse and His Boy is consistantly near the top, perhaps because it holds the character that my parents named me after (though truth be told I am much more like Shasta/Cor than his twin).
9. Hobbies and/or interesting things about you: I am writer at heart. I also love reading, as every writer should (though ironically I haven't been able to find the time to read as much as I would like since I took over the the bookshop.) I also have about a thousand other interests and hobbies contantly jockeying for my attention and time, but those are far too numerous to list here.

Welcome to the forum, Corin! (So neat that you were named after a Narnia character!) I've always dreamed about working in a bookshop, but it never before crossed my mind that a person might have less time to read in such a place! HHB is consistently one of my top favorites, too—it's such a great book. Anyway, I hope you enjoy exploring the forum! Have fun!
Thanks for the welcome. I don't know why I went so long without ever joining the forum. I love talking about the Chronicles and I've been a faithful visitor to Narniaweb ever since I found it.

Welcome, Thunder-Fist, so glad you joined the forum here. I ditto Rose in echoing my awe of you actually owning a bookshop! What a privilege that must be. There are a number of avid readers on NarniaWeb.
It's odd about HHB because when I was a child and read the Chronicles, it was my least favourite (even though I still really enjoyed it), but now that I'm 'all growed up' , it has become ever so much more meaningful. Such layers and meaning and lessons set amidst an amazing tale.
I visited NWeb's main news page every day for two years before becoming active on the forum. Could kick myself for not joining earlier.
See you around the forum!
P.S. I just noticed you're from Alaska. That is very cool, in itself!
