Welcome to all who have joined or returned recently! It is good to have each of you here.  

Perla, we have had a few non-native English speakers here over the years, and you are most welcome. Your English is very good! And I love the Spanish name "Perla" for Jewel - beautiful!

Welcome Perla!  The origin of your username is really cool!  I used to be the opposite of you actually, my native language is English, but I studied Spanish for 7 years.  I haven't used it in a long time though, so it's hard for me to speak it now even though I was fairly good at it 10 yrs ago (not quite fluent, but not that far away).  I'd love to take it up again... I love learning about different languages (I also studied German for 2 years).  Your English is really good!  I wouldn't have guessed that you are not a native speaker if you hadn't mentioned.  Also, I've been using it my whole life and I still don't know where to put a comma half of the time. 😛 

A belated welcome to you, @Perla!

I agree with Wolfy; your English is very good. We've had more international members sign up in the past year or so; I think forums are a nice gathering space for worldwide fan communities because the conversation is often a bit slower-paced.

And wow, that's so interesting about Jewel's name being Pearl in the Spanish translation! I had never thought about that before. It really makes me wonder what some if some of other "word" names in Narnia, like Puddleglum or Glenstorm, have interesting translations in other languages.

(It also makes me think that if Netflix introduces any new unicorn characters in their Narnia adaptation, they should be named Pearl or something like that!)

Anyway, hope you enjoy exploring the community and the world of Narnia! If you have any questions about how to use the forum, feel free to ask.

Greetings, I’m new to the NarniaWeb community. Allow me introduce myself, my name is Tumnu- sorry, wrong thread!   

1. Name (please avoid your real full name): My name’s Daniel, but my friends call me Danny. Hope you like my username, it took me all of 2 minutes to come up with!   

2. King or Queen of Narnia (guy or girl): I am a Son of Adam.

3. Family (single/married/kids): I’m 17 years old, currently single and living with my parents.

4. Occupation: I’m a student at college, currently doing a course in sound production (audio engineering and whatnot). Outwith college I’m also an actor, musical artist, independent model and I own a business with my friends: an upcoming clothing brand!

5. How you learned about NarniaWeb: Growing up I’ve always been vaguely aware of NarniaWeb, but in recent years I’ve been using the site as a means of getting the latest Narnia news. None of my real-life friends are particularly interested in Narnia so I thought I’d join the forum to discuss my thoughts on the series with like-minded people. Recently I started listening to NarniaWeb’s Talking Beasts podcast as well and I’m thoroughly enjoying that.

6. How old were you when you first read the Chronicles: I must have been around 6 or 7 when I first read the books, but my first experience with the franchise was actually through playing the LWW game on the Nintendo DS, then watching the 1979 film, then the 2005 Walden Film. This then prompted me to pick up the books once I learned to read properly. Narnia was the first fiction franchise I ever became a fan of, so it holds a sentimental place in my heart.

7. How many times have you read the Chronicles: I’ve read through the full series start-to-finish only once, but I’m currently re-reading the full thing. In terms of reading the individual books, I’ve probably read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe about 10 times, followed by The Magician’s Nephew 3 or 4 times, and Prince Caspian 2 or 3 times.

8. Favorite of the Chronicles: Honestly I can’t say which I like best, since they all have their unique aspects and charms to them.

9. Hobbies and/or interesting things about you: Since I was 12 my dream acting role has been to play King Tirian in the on-screen adaptation of The Last Battle! This is partially because (despite how likely this may be these days) one dream of mine is to work alongside Georgie, Skandar and William on a Narnia film (not to discrimimate against Anna, but we all know the plot of The Last Battle  ). I’d also be keen to play a teenage Prince William in the final season of The Crown on Netflix. When I was at school I had principal roles in the musicals they put on, so I’d love to be involved in some on-screen musicals as well!

Welcome, Emperor!

I had a big smile on my face as I read that you had always known about Narniaweb, and  to realise that we are such a well-established site. 

I hope you get to fulfil your ambitions: do you have an agent yet?

8. Favorite of the Chronicles: Prince Caspian!

Hooray, someone else who loves Prince Caspian!!! I don't have an absolute favourite of the Chronicles, but Prince Caspian is definitely one of the closest to my heart and I can never understand why it so often gets ranked lowest in polls or discussions for rating favourite and least favourite Narnia books. The last time I read it (which was quite recently), I loved it more than ever and the whole theme of rediscovering the "Old Narnia" meant more to me than ever before. So glad I'm not the only one who appreciates it so much!!

Anyway, hello and welcome to you and @thegentlewarrior too!

Always has been the silver chair [as far as the books go]

9. Hobbies and/or interesting things about you:

I enjoy video games, spending time with my wife and cat.

@Bartholmew, it sure is wonderful to see you here on NarniaWeb again! So much has changed in many of our lives, and, cool, you're married now!
