@abby1 Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet!

I do believe you’re the first New Zealander we’ve ever had. How did you find us?

What types of books do you like to write?

@abby1 Hiya! Me and my assistant, Aberdeen the authorosaurus, greet you!

It’s neat that you reside in New Zealand! 😃 I’ve never been there, but from the photos I’ve seen, it looks breathtaking. What is your favorite thing about living there?

@supermonkey42 @dekreel Glad you enjoyed these. 😀

Reeding the advertisement in this and the notes on some of the poems, I’m actually getting the impression with this book, that it was not the original poetry of Alfred, but translated for Boethius, a Latin poet. However, it seems that Alfred was liberal with his translation and he made some…[Read more]

@supermonkey42  Wow. You ventured deep into the ancient, spooky cave of old, dusty topics and found a treasure! I’m impressed! I can’t let this turn back to dust…

@daeus  I just read the poem Of Fame and Death on page 41, and WOW. Just wow. I had no idea Alfred the Great was such a talented and deep poet. I especially liked the first seven sta…[Read more]

@gabbyj  @dragon-snapper  @ethryndal  @catwing  @ingridrd  I have two characters!

The first one’s name is, um… Dekreel (Not me! A different Dekreel. He’s a historian… I was named after him actually 🙂 )  Anyway, he’s in his mid to late 20s. He has curly black hair with a beard that looks like Daeus’ beard. Pale blue eyes, fairly small nose,…[Read more]

Hey @abby1; welcome to the site! Glad you’ve found us and joined our community here. 🙂 What first inspired you to be a writer?

@abby1  Welcome to the Bestest Place in Cyberspace!!! 😀 😀

New Zealand?! WOW, I don’t think we’ve ever had a New Zealander on KP before. Special welcome! (I’m from America, BTW, but there are also a few Australians, a couple Canadians, and at least one English person.)

What is your novel about? 🙂

Just what Grace said, MBTI is a…[Read more]

@epicaddie2 I don’t see it! Do you have a less pixel-y picture? XD

@catwing *undignified squeals of delight* THIS IS THE BESTIEST. It made my day. Night. Whatever it is now.

Also, I am honored to be imagined doing interesting things. 😉 I love Calvin and Hobbes!

@epicaddie  Wait, WHAT?

*squints*  … Hmmm… You have been trained well

@daeus Okay, I know this topic is ancient (it’s the second oldest in “recent forum topics” at the moment), but this is actually pretty cool! Alfred the Great sounds like a good guy, and his poems are pretty good. I was skimming through the book, and I found it interesting that the translator inserted notes about Anglo-Saxon language. I have alway…[Read more]

Ohhhh, that’s a lot of guesses…

@epicaddie2  Here! Or here! Or here or here or here or here or here or here or….

BTW these aren’t random guesses. I have been looking quite carefully (or as carefully as my impatient, impulsive self will let me…)

@epicaddie2  That’s fine 😉

Is this you?

Or this?

How bout over here?

Here?

Or are you nowhere!

@supermonkey42 Well, if you remember, let me know, because it could very well be. Or not. 😉

@dekreel Nope. 😛

@sam-kowal  Thanks! 🙂

@shannon, you’re big on music, right? Do you write music at all?

@supermonkey42  Wha?! Oh, that’s so cool! Good idea, too! The porgs were totally a hit. They’re so funny XD

@perfectfifths  …….. R-Ratatouille? I doubt it

@perfectfifths I’ve heard it somewhere but I don’t remember where…. but then it might not even be the same one you’re thinking of.

@epicaddie2  @catwing  What about a Chasm Beast with a cat’s tail? *smirks* Just attach a cat’s tail to a wolf!

(But please don’t get confused — I’m NOT a wolf. Even though I keep calling myself a wolf. I’m NOT)
