* Introductions II *

Many of us know each other already, but here is a place where we can all get to know a little about each other.
As time goes on, new people will find this place and want to know more about the people they see posting and share a bit about themselves. http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif
Check out *Introductions* as well. Topics that have over 100 start loading a bit slowly, so it's time to start another.

Great to see you here Deejayess & dossier!

[reply to former Introductions thread]

DeeJayEss & Doss....glad you could make it.

Just to expand: I've also enjoyed reading Ray Bradbury and the first two or three Alvin Maker books by Orson Scott Card.

Hey Dos, welcome to the board!

run/tackle/hug DJS!!!! Great to see you! Long time no see bud, glad you found us here! Your memorial barstool is still in the PATD. http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif

Cool crazy, I don't tend to reach much scifi, I mostly watch it. But I know some of the others are more into the book end than I http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/wink.gif

*waves hi to Asis*

Hi there, evveryone. I'm Branflakes, I know Asis and crazy a from another board here at Hostboard.

I'm a fan of Sci-Fi, currently watching Voyager only, though. B5 was gone from regular tv (i don't have cable) before I was able to get into it.

As for books: I tend to read Star Wars ones, any Arthur C. Clarke I find, and I love Ray Bradbury.

Other info about me: 30, lesbian, living in Houston, Tx, work full time, go to school, writing a novel, play flag football, etc, etc.

Welcome Bran to the Zocolo.

LOL, just barely these days. Nothing exciting, work tires me out and I have started writing with group stories again. So most of my posts are story posts elsewhere.

Thank you, Lyta. Can't promise I'll be around much, but I like the board. http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif

Asis: now you'll have to tell me where to find those stories. If you're going to read my writing, I have to read yours. http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

But you will have to register to read them.

After you register for Crossroads, you should be able to read the ones at
http://www.communityzero.com/triskelion

The character there is a bit more developed.

And I enjoy reading your story Bran! If you want to, feel free to post it at Crossroads as well. They have a article feature there that will probably work well for your story.

Thanks for the info. I went and registered, but I can't get into your story (says it's private). http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/frown.gif
Guess I'll email admin later.

Just in case there are any lurkers, maybe you can figure out whose intro is whose! [img]wink.gif[/img]

Hello.
I am Trevor Daniels.
I just moved into the Book Forums neighborhood.
It is a pleasure to meet all you wonderful people.

Peace

Hey Trevor, welcome to the board! And the neighborhood!

Thank you very much.
Is this board exclusively Sci-Fi?
I suppose I'm that odd breed that would rather watch it than read it.
Even though I read like a madman.
The last good Sci-Fi book I read was Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle In Time.
It scared the heck out of me as a child and did so again as an adult.
I know it's a kid's book, but it's a great read for both young and old.

Peace,
Trevor

Hi, Treavor.

Watching is OK as well as reading. We still haven't quite figured out why this is on this particular subsection of the Hostboard forum. A lot of us knew each other from other boards that met an untimely (or sometimes well deserved) demise. So we aren't really organized around just reading sci fi books.

Nice to meet you.

Hi, Polly.
I know what you mean about migrating from other boards.
I've become quite the nomad myself.
I host a board in this same section called:
The Spigot At The End Of The Universe
Currently I'm attempting to start a conversation started re: Frodo's apparent failure at Mount Doom in The Lord of The Rings vol. III - The Return of The King.
Feel free to drop by and comment.
That is of course you're into Tolkien.
Here is the link:

Spigot At The End Of The Universe.

Peace,
Trevor

Mostly what we do here is hang out and keep in touch with each other. Sometimes we post about SciFi/Fantasy or give each other links to it.

A lot of times we post about other stuff. We ended up in books and I haven't asked to change it because many members had a hard time finding it here and I don't want them to get lost if we move again.</font></font></td></tr></table></td></tr></table></BLOCKQUOTE>
Would one of the those shows have been The X-Files?
My god.
I was such an X-Phile.
I still am.
I was really bummed the show went out with a whimper.
I'd be glad to be a member of your community if you'll have me.
Feel free to visit my forum if you like discussing Lord of The Rings, reading or writing.

Thank you so much.
After I read the Silmarillion I'm gonna tackle the Potter series as well.
I like your signature.
I thought it was quite hilarious that Merry and Pippin were a full 3 inches taller than Sam and Frodo after drinking the Ent draught at the end of Return of The King.
Feel free to start a Potter discussion at my message board.

Spigot At The End Of The Universe

Peace,

Welcome, Trevor! I would love to discuss The Sillmarillion with you, and everyone else, for that matter. I've just begun rereading it myself, so it will be fresh in my mind. In the meantime, do you want to discuss The Lord of the Rings?

And yes, I'm with Nommy on hanging with Ents. Treebeard is a favorite of mine, and people think I'm weird whe I say, "Hoom, hom, now that would be telling!"

But as for where I'm "from" I have a soft spot for Finrod Fellagund, which I think you'll share after reading "Of Beren and Luthien."

I've read all the LOTR related books. My soft spot is still for Tom Bombadil. He saved the quest twice, and never even got a mention in the animated or RL films [img]frown.gif[/img]

Merle, that would be deilightful!
I'll wrap up Return of the King this week and we'll begin discussions on The Silmarillion on Monday if all goes well.
We can also discuss The Hobbit, and The LOTR trilogy.
I really look forward to it.
I expect we'll all be cheering when Treebeard makes his big screen appearance this December.
Here is the link to my board.

The Spigot At The End Of The Universe

Feel free to discuss anything you like.
Books, writing, poetry, et al.

He's mentioned during the Council of Elrond scene, but you're right he should have at least been featured in flashback.
As I understand it Tom will be shown in a deleted scene on the LOTR DVD coming out August 6.
A little Tom Bombadill is better than nothing, eh?

Peace,
Trevor

Hey, everybody. Remember me? I'm that crazy Star Wars liking kid from waaaay back a few year ago, you remember. Just stopping in for a bit, dunno if I'll remember to stick around, but I haven't talked to most of you guys in ages, and rather miss the old community. Not really sure what to say about myself except I'm a bit older now (obviously) and I draw a webcomic in my spare time.

So, uh... howdy, howarya?

Jaster!!!!! My trumpet-playin' bud! Great to see you found the trail of bread crumbs here. I'm hopin' you'll stick around. So, you out of high school yet? Whatcha up to?

Man, I dunno if your boot made it to Da Bar or not. I'm sure we could find it somewhere if we looked hard enough.

Yup, high school's done, and I've got a year of college under my belt, though I have no idea why I put it there. Right now I'm just trying to figure out all these "major" thingeys, and apparently choose one, but right now I'm just kinda taking stuff easy, drifting about the internet and all that.

And that'd be terrible if my old boot was lost in the rubble of a collapsed Sci Fi Sites! (Vine?) I'd have to go dig it out...

Hey there Jaster. Welcome back

Merle we don't need to boot his butt. Da Bar is located in an alternate dimension so the drinking age is not the same as it is in the US. I say we use the European standard, if the person can see over the bar without standing on a chair then they are legal.

At 5ft/1inch, I might have to use a booster cushion. Hi all, I've missed you. Hope you've had a great summer. I've been hanging out at other boards and somehow kind of forgot this one.
[img]redface.gif[/img]

I've made the introductions topics into stickys, topic that stay at the top of the board.

I figured these two were good for new people to see a bit about those of us that post at the board, tell us about themselves and get a glimpse of the travelers, traveling thru.

If there are any other topics that anyone feels should be at the top, let me know via private message. I don't want to get it too cluttered, so I won't be sticking many of them.

Yep, they're as sticky as a stick insect stuck on a sticky bun.

sorry... test

Whatcha testing Coe? And welcome! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hi gang. For a while, I can get here, until the filters go back up. Not trying to steal any posting from this site, AsIs, but just a general advisement that some lively posting is going on at the PATD at SpeculativeVision.com. Wish I could post here more often. And I really miss my job at Da Bar. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
