NarniaWeb Newbie

1. Name (please avoid your real full name): Hello! I'm Broken_Spurs; or Gracie depending on the platform. Spurs or Grace(ie) is preferred

2. King or Queen of Narnia (guy or girl): Once a queen; always a queen of Narnia.

3. Family (single/married/kids): Uh; I got a lot of loving little siblings and two awesome parents! And two dogs that I love to death.

4. Occupation: Big Sister and Babysitter; however I am interested in becoming a large animal vet.

5. How you learned about NarniaWeb: Actually I've known about it for some time now; a year or so ago (I think) I was looking for information on the Netflix series- and stumbled across this website. However I was watching into the wardrobe on YT a bit ago and the name popped up so batta bing batta boom; I ended up making an account.

6. How old were you when you first read the Chronicles: I wanna say I was 10-12 when I first read the LWW; during that time I was super into reading and we had rented the movie from the library and got super excited; because I had seen it in theatres years ago but never remembered what is was. I sorta knew about the series; but never actually got into it before we watched the movie again. And after that I grabbed LWW and Prince Caspian; and so on until I read through the series.

7. How many times have you read the Chronicles: Uno. I have only read the entire series once in my life; however I plan to reread it when I get the time to. Though I've listened to Fouse On the Family's Audio drama of it more times than I can count.

8. Favorite of the Chronicles: I remember really liking the Horse and His boy; the tale of Shasta and Bree was a treat for a horse crazy weirdo. And the Silver Chair; though mostly the second half of the book were its dealing with Rillian.

9. Hobbies and/or interesting things about you: Well, I like to write; draw, and run. I tend to look a bit to deep into things and I have so many shows I like it's a headache. I tend to lean towards more military and sci fi themed things; however Narnia holds a special place in my heart.

Peter Pevensie is a character I feel I can relate to; it's hard to explain but his character and myself seem to be more alike then I like to admit. 

I'm a fairly friendly person; and love to talk.

1. Name (please avoid your real full name): Karisa

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

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

4. Occupation: None yet, chronic illness makes it difficult to tackle life stuff. Working on it.

5. How you learned about NarniaWeb: Don’t remember now when I first learned of it or how, just that it was years and years ago at this point.

6. How old were you when you first read the Chronicles: I read LWW in 4th grade when I would have been 9.

7. How many times have you read the Chronicles: So far only once through the whole thing, though twice for LWW because I’d read it prior years ago. I always meant to get to it and it just never happened, but in the last year I was getting very nostalgic for Narnia and finally did it and I was hit so hard with how fantastic they are that I haven’t stopped thinking or talking about it for months lol.

8. Favorite of the Chronicles: LWW for the sheer nostalgia and magic of it, but VotDT is very close behind for the unique storytelling.

9. Hobbies and/or interesting things about you: Aaand this is the part where I never know what to say 😋 I love stories of many different kinds and immersing myself in different worlds. I love my family and I love God, and I’m currently adjusting to a big move so I’m relying heavily on both of those. Other than that, nothing interesting or significant comes to mind lol. Maybe part of my love of stories is because reality is largely uneventful 😅

A belated welcome to @Jasminetarkheena. Wave You have certainly jumped in with both feet on the forum here. We are glad you're enjoying the discussions.

And a more recent welcome to @broken_spurs and @karisa! Wave  

Spurs, that is cool you are thinking of being a large animal vet. Have you read James Herriot's delightfully-written tales?

karisa, I'm sorry to hear a chronic illness is part of your life. My own family knows what that is like! Hug to you. I hope you settle in well after this big move. Glad you found NarniaWeb. I truly hope you feel at home here.

I am also a avid reader, reading almost anything. (I recently started a journey through the world of Frank Herbert's 1965 novel, Dune)

Welcome aboard, @cyberlucy!

9. Hobbies and/or interesting things about you:  I am a huge genealogy nut 

I don't think there's a topic on that in The Spare Oom (or else it's very, very old), but maybe we should start one.  I've gotten into genealogy of late years--I'm now our extended family's expert on such matters.  A fascinating study, overall.

Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away ... my days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle

1. Name: Tricia (I go by tricia_pevensie on instagram!)

2. King or Queen of Narnia: Queen

3. Family: Married to my lovely husband, hopefully kids are in our future ^^

4. Occupation: I work on handmade crafts from home and would someday like to become an author.

5. How you learned about NarniaWeb: I've been listening to Talking Beasts for many years, so I think that must have been my first exposure. I was a kid when the films were coming out and didn't have internet access, so unfortunately I wasn't here when the fandom was most active, but I hugely appreciate that NarniaWeb is still around providing a home for every generation of fan.

6. How old were you when you first read the Chronicles: I was six years old when I first read them for myself (my mom had already read them to me at some point before then), and it ended up being the perfect storm when LWW came out in theaters a year later.

7. How many times have you read the Chronicles: Literally countless times. I'm the type of person who doesn't get tired of things even with constant exposure, so I used to read the whole series once through every month or so as a kid. In more recent years (I'm 23 now) I just pick up whichever book strikes my fancy, but I definitely get through them all multiple times a year, some a lot more than others. (VDT has amazing re-read value.)

8. Favorite of the Chronicles: The Last Battle. Always has been, always will be. I've never related to any other fictional character more than I do to Tirian, and the story itself is my favorite too. Always been partial to apocalypse fiction.

9. Hobbies and/or interesting things about you: Writing! I love writing, I think I was born to write. I've particularly been writing fanfiction (NOT the romance kind) since before I knew there was a word for that, especially for Narnia, and right now I'm putting a lot of effort into Narnia fics which I post on fanfiction.net (under Tricia Pevensie). I also would like to write original stories one day, but for now I'm happy to practice in Lewis' world, and I think he would be rather amused by that.

Other fun info is that I'm INFP, love dinosaurs and dystopias, and I'm a conservative Christian (in no small part thanks to the groundwork laid by reading Narnia as a child.)

I think that's it! Happy to meet all of you lovely humans (and other assorted Narnian creatures~)
