      haha Thank you. No, I wish I did. It’s just a cool pic I found on Pinterest. Not quite on that level yet.

        Thank you very much! Happy to be here.

        My favorite character between both of their works has to be Aragorn. (although Edmond is pretty cool) What about you?

        As for my major, I chose it for its versatility in the field. Potentially, I could do whatever I want with it and be okay. My heart isn’t really set in coding, but I’m fixed on finishing what I’ve started.

        Well, I’ve been “writing” since middle school, but it was more of a hobby. I’m not sure what sparked it, but the thought of writing a novel clicked in my head and my little brain just said “yes! that’s it!”. But during lockdown, I’ve decided to treat it less like a cool side project and put something truly good on paper. How about you?

          Heck yeah Jedis count!!! haha

          To be honest, this stuff is so out of my element, I sit there with a blank (or maybe panicked) face. lol

            Haha this was great! I love it! But I wonder, do you have rules for the reverse happening? 🙂

              Awesome! Dragons are cool!

              I’m afraid I only recognize LOTR, but I’ll have to check the others out.

              Wow! I don’t think I have heard of Danek Crevilon, what’s his story?

                If I were to be superhero, I think it would be superman. The dude is just so cool haha. What about you?

                Of course! I don’t mind at all. In college I am studying computer science. Some of its cool, a lot of it brain-numbing, but all of it useful haha.

                I like to collect all different props, like lightsabers, marvel select action figures, maps of middle earth, artwork, dioramas and stuff like that. I don’t have much but its fun. 🙂

                Oh, and me and my brother like slicing plastic waters bottles and gallon jugs lol. It’s odd, but it is also one of the few times we could actually use our blades.

                  Hi Lily! Nice to meet you!

                  The haunted hotel was cool. Nothing paranormal happened or anything, but it was still a neat experience. Everything was incredibly old and rustic, I loved it!

                    @devastate-lasting

                    My favorite part of the writing process has to be world-building, especially for fantasy settings. I like creating new worlds and tackling the unknown. It’s so much fun!

                    How about you? What’s your favorite part?

                     


                    @lydia-s

                    Very nice to meet you!

                    My favorite mythical creature has to be a sea serpent (like the leviathan in Job),

                    My top 3 books/series are Another Kingdom by Andrew Klavan, LOTR by J.R.R. Tolkien, and the Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury. (At least as of right now haha)

                    Oh gosh, this is a tough one….I think my all-time favorite “book” character has to be… Grand Admiral Thrawn from the Star Wars books by Timothy Zahn. I think he is pretty awesome since he is the most dangerous man in the galaxy simply through his cleverness and problem solving.

                    What about you? What are your favorites?

                      @devastate-lasting

                      My top 3 favorites of Nolan’s works are Tenet, Interstellar, and the Dark Knight Trilogy. Pretty much all of his stuff is phenomenal! I’m beginning to think we have very similar tastes in movies because Tron: Legacy so happens to be one of my favorites also. Parasite was awesome, a modern classic.

                      You’ve been to China?!! That’s pretty cool!

                      As for the haunted hotel, not much happened haha. But the atmosphere was great, really reminded me of the Overlook Hotel from the Shining. Old wooden doors, medieval looking keys, and creaky floorboards. The whole deal! haha

                        Oh awesome! I definitely got to check these out, I haven’t seen most of them. Thank you so much!!!

                         


                        @devastate-lasting

                        Hi nice to meet you!

                        Christopher Nolan as of right now, is my favorite movie director. His stuff is so good. Cool to see someone with similar taste in stories!

                        As for the questions,

                        favorite dessert are homemade brownies,

                        favorite movie (as of right now) is Tenet by Christopher Nolan,

                        and the most interesting place I’ve been was the haunted hotel in Yosemite.

                        What about you? Same questions. 🙂

                          @Anatra23

                          Nice to meet you! That’s so funny, I find myself feeling painting is more intimidating than sketching haha. I’ve adopted a more comic book-like style when drawing, I’m still trying to get the fundamentals of the human anatomy down. Heads are a nightmare lol. As for my username, it’s a reference from one of my favorite books/movies of all time, The Count of Monte Cristo. Where the smugglers call Edmond Dantes “zatara”, which sounds fearsome, but means “driftwood”. (In the movie at least haha)

                          What about you? What kind of style do you like to paint? Any cool WIP?

                           

                          @joy-caroline

                          That’s so awesome! I’d read it! The world needs more biblical fiction I think.

                           


                          @maryg3

                          That’s awesome! Cool to meet another artist. I love mystery and suspense! I’m a huge fan of Alfred Hitchcock and Rod Serling, their stuff got me into the genre. I haven’t read much of it though. Any recommendations?

                            Your WIP sounds interesting! I’m sure it’ll be awesome! What sparked the idea?


                            @maryg3

                            I love the Title! And your story idea sounds really cool! I’m a bit of a sucker for dystopias and sci-fi. And I’m the same way, my story is still in the incubation stage in my head (not much written down yet).

                            My hobbies mainly consist of watching movies (that counts right?), drawing, reading, collecting props, and slicing up bottles with swords with my brother…It’s sounds a lot stranger typing it, but its fun lol. I also enjoy playing video games with my brothers.

                            What about you guys? Any hobbies?

                                Nice to meet you guys!

                                Ignite looks pretty cool, I’ll have to check it out.

                                The Giver was awesome! I enjoyed it a lot!

                                I personally like all toppings on pizza except anchovies haha.

                                My current project is something I’ve started working during the summer, and I’m attempting build a story that could be best described as a “scary Narnia”. Where the material world and “magical” world meet, but the magical world harbors horrific monsters, swamp-dwelling cults, and ruins of a collapsed empire where society is splintered into primitive tribes and kingdoms. This is what happens when I try to write a werewolf story haha.

                                What about you guys? What are your current projects?
