    You didn’t know the meaning of the word bored until your favorite Narnia site crashed, leaving you with virtually nothing to do. After all, who are you going to share your ideas, articles, fanfics, and play games with?

      Our server crashed about a month ago, and wasn’t restoring our site any time soon, so Kristi decided to move us to here… We are currently working on rebuilding the site and forum…and everyone needs to reregister.

      Now, back to topic. πŸ˜‰

    65 and 98 are definitely my favorites. My brother has a LWW movie poster, and I haven’t seen it since he got it, because it’s on the inside of his bedroom door. The other day I went in to ask him something, and the first thing I said when I saw the poster was, “This is a lot bigger than I remembered!”

    …and if you can automatically pick out a specific Narnia book from among all the others on the shelf in a room with the lights off, then yes, you are addicted to Narnia. As I just found out.
