Erm, Hello?

Well, the only game I've ever played (if such things count) is a Star Trek Enterprise RP that I'm currently in. Nevertheless, Moonsdreaming informs me that I do, indeed, qualify as a g33k and that I, therefore, belong here. So, hi!

I'm Tanith, a Classics major with three exams standing between myself and graduating from Otago University in December and training in theatre, speech and drama. I still speak broken Latin, but I'm a bit rusty. I'm working on several novels (all sci-fi, fantasy or historical fiction) at the moment and intend to make it my profession to write. As you can probably guess, I love sci-fi, fantasy and - when done well - historical fiction. I also adore fairy tales (the originals, not the post-Victorian watered down versions for children).

I grew up in a Trekker household - learned the word transporter before the word submarine - and probably qualify as a Trekker myself. I'm also deeply attached to the worlds of Harry Potter, Sherlock Holmes (but in this case I'm a bit of purist, only the original works of Sir Arthur and the 2009 movie are really up to scratch), Discworld, Arda (where The Lord of the Rings is set, but you probably know that already), The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and I'm sure there's one or two others that should be on that list. I've got a mild interest in the world created by DC comics, but never really made it all the way into that fandom. Let's see, what else? Mythology and time travel both hold major places in my original fiction and I'm working on an epic-length fanfiction series on the life of Tom Marvolo Riddle. I also have plans, very evil of me, for two long Enterprise AU fics/series.

So, that's me. A person so far in Cloudcuckooland that she's completely out of touch with society and actually has read the ancient text that term comes from.

Hi there! :D You certainly sound like you qualify to me ^_^
Welcome to the boards, thanks for joining us! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask myself or Alex ^_^ we'll be more than happy to help you :)

What is your favourite fairy tale? It always makes me cry because I'm a sap, but I love Hans Christian Anderson's The Little Mermaid :)

Welcome, Tanith.

Oh, broken Latin. Sounds like me cursing the actors in LotR for butchering the elvish language.

Pleasure to meet you, Stardust, Gothdarkkedragon.

I'll be sure to poke someone (probably Alex, since she usually puts up with it) if I have questions.

To be honest, I can't say I have a favourite fairy tale. They're all different. Donkeyskin comes to mind, but I can't really say I like it any more or less than the others.

I could probably be fluent in Latin if I put in the practice, but at the moment mine's too broken to yell at anyone for getting it wrong. :$

Nope! It is quite dead unfortunately.
