When you’re at the Recent Topics page, look right underneath where it says Recent Topics and click on Forums (where you start new topics). Scroll all the way down and you’ll see who’s recently been active. At the very bottom you’ll see ‘Welcome to our newest member’ and it’ll show the name. Hopefully that helps!:)

@gracie-j

No worries! (I wish I’d chosen a simpler tag back when I joined the forum… I had no idea people would have to type that out every time XD) Copypasta is the way to go, it seems.

Awwh, thank you so much!!! I wasn’t sure if my name sounded fitting for an authoress, hence why I didn’t want to use it, but that makes me feel a lot better.…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

Thank you so much! Yeah, privacy was one of the many reasons I considered using a pen name as well. And I never thought about that! XD

@jodi-maile

Thanks, Jodi! That’s why I was considering using a pen name/fake name, so that my works wouldn’t be judged (is that the right word?) simply because I’m a female. Though, like you…[Read more]

@keilah-h

those look great! <3

@ariahd

*crickets chirping*

*ahem*

I don’t suppose I could jump into this, could I? *more crickets chirping* Yeah, I agree with @devastate-lasting. Wholeheartedly. I must assure you were aren’t this strange all the time. (Or are we?)

Anyways, uh, I’ll introduce myself. My name’s Alexa, but most people ’round these parts call me Lexi. Either is…[Read more]

@lewilliams

Ugh, this forum has eaten enough replies for a full meal XD Anyways, yes, do check them out! And then tell me your thoughts! *shudders* Yeah, the movie was okay-ish. Still can’t get over the character ages, though. (Also, another book I’ve heard great things about but have yet to read is The Ranger’s Apprentice, so you might want to…[Read more]

@not-so-secret-assassin I realize I misspelled your username but am afraid to edit my post in order to rectify my error for fear that it will disappear forever. My humblest apologies.

@not-so-secret-assassin *saunters into topic late (as per usual), a mug of a suspiciously cozy tea-like beverage in hand* So, what did I miss?

*ahem* Let’s get down to business. Party business, that is.

I shall be bringing soup. Because what party is truly complete without soup?

As far as attire goes, I shall be dressed as a hobbit. Or perhaps…[Read more]

I think the forum ate my post, so we’re going to try this again. *headdesk*

…that awkward moment when you started a topic three weeks ago and never replied to anyone about it…oops 😛

Anyway, thanks guys for all the recommendations!!!

@nanisnook I haven’t, but since starting this topic I’ve started listening to the audio version of the first b…[Read more]

@nanisnook I haven’t, but since starting this topic I’ve started listening to the audio version of the first book and am definitely a fan!! Thanks for the rec! 😀

@lydia-s Thank you!!!…[Read more]

@abigail-m

Hey! Just wanted to (once again) apologize for the delay of posting the illustrations! I’ve actually ended up getting sick so I haven’t done very much illustrating at all lately, but once it passes I’ll make sure to send them! They’re coming along nicely and I’ve been making progress with them! Again, SO SORRY about the wait! (Between…[Read more]

@relia

Awww, GIRL that is SO good!!! Thank you thank you thank you for drawing her for me!!! That looks just like I envision her! 😉 Thank you!!!

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin

Yes, well, you never can be too careful. We certainly wouldn’t want to throw a surprise party if there were a mythical beast on the forum rather than a human. Like a centaur (would they be considered human? Hmm… that’s food for thought) or a chimera of some sort. Or perhaps I’m not even human myself. You never…[Read more]

@relia

Wow, this sounds fun! Thank you for offering to do this, by the way! 🙂 So for mine, I’ll go with one of my female characters, Alana. She’s 15 years old, has light brown skin, lots of freckles on her cheeks, curly dark brown hair (sometimes it’s braided, but I don’t have a preference), and brown eyes as well. Hopefully that was detailed…[Read more]

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin

Oh yes, and I seemingly left out my gift. Hmm… probably one of my top-secret coffee recipes. Seriously, coffee is the best. Or perhaps a song recommendation, as @scripter-of-kingdoms said.

Also, @daisy-torres, love your new profile pic girl!
