I love to read, write, listen to music, play the piano, and be with friends. I dream to one day become a writer, but each day I think that what I'm really going to be, is a teacher... You could become a writing teacher maybe? My girlfriend used to get French classes from a man who, in his spare time, wrote short stories (up to approx. 12000 words) and a few books.

Which reminds me, I have to read New Spring when it comes here to Norway. *waiting excitingly* You don't have to wait! Just go tp the library and ask them to try to get you Legends (edited by Robert Silverberg). In there you'll find New Spring, along with a GRRM story, and some other stuff (Goodkind, King, Silverberg...). As for myself, I'm a 19 year old male from Norway, who at the time studies social science at the university of Trondheim. I spend almost all my spare time at different forums, so I haven't been able to read WoT in a year... But since I started on EotW three years ago, I have nevertheless read the series 3 times... I also play computer games (HoMM, SMAC, Civ), and walk in the beautiful mountains of Norway. The reason I joined this forum, is that my profile at wotmania is down, so I desperately need somewhere to discuss fantasy litterature; this being my biggest passion. I have also been browsing this forum from time to time, but never really found the time to join until now.

Haven't thought about that before! I do actually write short stories on my spare time. If you ever pop by fanfiction.net sometime, check out my stories! They're WoT-related and dedicated to everyone's favourite Wisdom and Warder! ;D You'll find me under the name of 'neela' (how surprising...)

I started writing a LotR fan fiction thingy once, but it sucked so badly that I haven't looked at it for a while.
Besides, I gave my main Dwarf an Elven name... Blooper ;D

An elven name? Wow, what a blunder! I'm also doing a bit of writing Star Trek fiction, but I'm staying away from LotR! Can't ruin the wonderful epic with my horrible writing... And I read Harry Potter! *surprise surprise* ;D ~neela~

Hiya, My name's Lilyana D'nai, of the Blue Ajah (I'm a meddler, what can I say?? ;D ) Umm, I have two older brothers, ones 17 and a nuisance, the other's 22 and still lives in the house. I'm 15 (I feel like I'm one of the babys here ) I became an avid fan of WoT when my brother hit me over the head with the book and told me to read it wether I wanted to or not (I adore him for it now ). I absolutely love Nynaeve...She's awesome, there's no other word. I often end up laughing at 2 o'clock in the morning while re-reading them because of a pov where she's complaining about the acid tounges of -some!- other people. It's just too funny. ;D Anyways, I live in Alaska. (no, we don't live in igloo's! ), I have all my life. I'm in high school right now. I have 3 major fetish's: Fuzzies!, Silveh! (silver), and Huskies!!! (in case you're wondering about my sanity...I'd assure you it's still intact, but I generaly try to tell the truth wether I'm completely sure or not )

Welcome, Lilyana! ;DYou give me hope that maybe one day all the people I hit over the head with WoT will one day be grateful. ;D

Just so you know this vital fact: I really like your avatar-type-things. That should probably be on the avatar discussion board, but: oh, well.
As for WoT movies, I currently intend to be the Peter Jackson-ish person, as I see no real directors volunteering. You should help me. If we both pool our life savings, we might have enough to buy a video camera. Yeah. I'm brilliant, I know.

*copy of an email I sent to someone*
I have decided that I must be in film version of WoT.
You aren't surprised, I'm sure. But who am I to play? That is the question, and I have at last solved it:
But first I must explain my lame excuses for NOT playing various characters: I am too tall to be Nynaeve. I am not impish enough to be Min. I am not tough enough to be Aviendha. I do not have a big enough nose to be Faile. I would really suck at pretending to be any of the guys. [told you they were lame reasons] Most of my favorite characters, therefore, have been forced from my list of potential roles. But I do not give up that easily. I have solved the problem:
I shall play...[drumroll]...Illyena! Her entire character is this: she lays dead in a castle courtyard [in a flashback] wearing a bloodstained royal gown, and she has long golden hair, and Lews Therin [her husband] is holding her, screaming, "Ilyena! What have I done to you? My Ilyena!" etc.
My plan is simple: grow my hair out until, through a lot of spying, I find out where they are having auditions for a WoT movie. Then I bleach my hair very golden and put on an ancient, royal-looking dress [I have a couple of them, you know] and pour red paint all over me and show up at the audition place. They guy says "Next." and asks my name.
I say, "Ilyena."
He rolls his eyes at me like, "Ilyena?"
I take my cue and promtly fall on top of him, pretending to be dead. He pushes me off of him. I drop down on the floor, still pretending to be dead. I refuse to leave until they decide that I really am perfect for the role, even if they had planned to cut that scene.
Of course, they may just humor me for the filming &just cut the scene in the finished movie, but I will have a petition signed by all the fantasy geeks I know, including internet people, and will make T-shirts of this petition and will picket all theaters playing the movie, all the while gaining more signatures, until I finally get the producer people to sign a contract that they will include my scene in the special edition DVD.
That done, I will proceed to go to the movie five times in costume.

I felt, at 2 in the morning, that this thread of introductions needs to get going again. So here I go!! My name is Melissa and I'm 19, I'll be 20 come August. I'm a college student who plans to major in health sciences and become a personal trainer. I absolutely love sports, some at Theoryland call me the Unoffical TL Jock, and I live up to that title. I love Wot, Nynaeve is my favorite character. I mean, how can ya not llke her? She awesome!!! And really, what else do I need to say about her? Now, I'm from the US, Pennsylvania and at the moment, I live with my parents and younger sister. My older sister is away for schooling purposes and she is getting married in December, and i am the Maid of Honor. (And just for the record, in case it comes up, I Am not drunk right now!!!!)
