Hello all-
I have been a fan of the Chronicles of Narnia since before I knew what a fan was. The books were read to me many times when I was Little and as an adult I have reread them a couple of times. I also enjoyed the movies, but not as much as the books. I loved all the books, even the last though it was pretty odd 🙂

I was lured here by a Little fairy called opera13 singing to me on a different fan forum.

Looking forward to checking this great looking site out some more 🙂

Ooh, ooh, newmembernewmembernewmember! I am Albero, the resident dormouse my brother, Smaug, and I are some of the youngest members, but enjoy this site just as much as everyone else. :mrgreen: I really like Narnia, though 'tis Lord of the Rings (and especially the Hobbit!) where my true passion lies. I love the colors blue, orange, purple, and coral. :mrgreen: I am an artist-wannabe, watch about 18 gazillion episodes of Studio C a day, and have been acting for 4 years. 🙂

Hi Grimmsistr! Good to see you over here. Hope you'll hang out, sip some cocoa, join us in the chatroom. We've got lots of events round here. Prayer group and Writing group on Saturdays, costume parties once a month, usually on the 15th. It's a good time.

Hey there!
I'm Tenny, I like happy people, new members, books, weaving, ice cream, and music :). *cheers* book lovers unite! I love the books, but I'm also a fan of the audio dramas and the BBC films 🙂

I play the piano and I pretend to write, and I like to learn new skills 🙂 I'm currently trying to learn weaving... and Hebrew. 🙂

Glad you've met Kristi! (that's opera13's name on here 😉 )

Glad to have you here!

Welcome! I'm Islie (or Happy, or Islander, or whatever) 🙂 Glad you've come to join us!

I'm a weaver and a writer, and I'm very absent-minded, and I love people 🙂

Hope you enjoy TLC!

They might not need me but; they might.
I'll let my Head be just in sight;
A smile as small as mine might be
Precisely their necessity.

Welcome, Grimmster! (Can I call you that? :D) I'm Ariel_of_Narnia, but go by Ariel to keep it short and sweet. 🙂 I'm a Christian, an adult on the younger side, moderator of a couple writing threads, and co-contributor to the writing contest and the YouTube channel. I love reading and writing; video production and graphics stuff are fun-fun.
The books, I agree, are the best Narnia material out there; I also enjoy the Focus on the Family Radio Theatre recordings and, despite my many complaints about the latter two, enjoy the movies.
Welcome and having fun getting to know us and the site!

Hello Grimm 🙂

Ah the thirteenth opera, also known as our benevolent fisherdess 🙂 I'm very glad you came over. Welcome welcome.

The Last Battle does have its strangeness I suppose, along with its magnificence. 🙂 I think we'll be reading the Last Battle in our summer reading challenge, this year.

Thank you all for the welcomes.

Sure Ariel you can call me Grimmster. So Opera is Kristi the fisherdess here huh? guess Im her latest catch then.

More about me: Im a grimm gal. Living in the land of Andersons fairy tales. I am a changeling, I think my better self is around somewhere but I havent found her yet, maybe I will some day, who knows. When I was Little I believed that Narnia would one day appear in the back of my grandmothers closet, instead I found some secrets of the more dusty kind there. I never stopped looking for Narnia, but found I had to look inside my own closet to find the way to get in.

I love speaking in methaphors, hope most of it will be clear enough to follow 😉

Greetings and welcome Grimmsistr (or Grimmster one of your many-to-come nicknames - we love nicknames here 😀 )! I'm Elanorelle , a Christian home-schooled hobbit of Narnia and of TLC. (You can call me Elanor, Ela, Norelle, or anything else you can think up).

I wish I could say that about the Chronicles! But I have sort of grown up with them becoming aware that no, unicorns are not evil - especially one in a poster about Narnia at a young-ish age. Later I read all of them for myself (roughly about third grade) and of course re-reading them over and over and over again.

Do you have any hobbies, perchance?

Just so you know everyone here is amazing and welcoming, like a family, ...though we can get crazy. (But don't let that worry you.) ^.^
I certainly hope to see you around!

-Elanor

Now that I am writing more and elaborating on my thoughts in here I will start by apologizing for any and all spelling and grammar mistakes which will come. Im Danish and not perfect in English, but I hope you understand most of what I try to say.

Maye I should add that Im not a Christian. From what Ive read on other peeps introductions, a lot of you in here are. But I go back and forth from being an Atheist, to an Agnostic, to a Mysticist (if that is a thing) to a sort of buddhist, to a “who knows-you know”. But I very much enjoy discussing faith, religion and the philosophy of it, so if that is a thing in here then count me in.

For Albero1-
I dont have a favorite character per say, because I really love most of them. The Pevensie children, out of them I think I Love Lucy the most for her wit and adventurous spirit, for her never failing trust in Aslan and her always seeing the good in everyone, for her forgiveness of the mistakes her friends make. She is like the light for the other Pevensie children to follow- hence her name Lucy. But then I also very much love Edmund because he is a flawed and dubious character at least at first before he is redeemed. I love him because we see him grow (mentally) and become different from what he was. When maybe he started out being very jealous of Lucy and Peter, he was the middle child just trying to find some way to be meaningful. And he redeems himself and becomes trusting, giving and heroic. Then I also Love Eustace, for some of the same reasons, as what I love Edmund for. He is the “new villainous family member” but he is just very joker like, or how do I put it.. I like the humor that is to his character. I REALLY LOVED the boy that was cast as Eustace in the movie “the Dawn Threader” he was just brilliant and perfect for the role. He played it very much on humor but also with lots of emotion.

Then ofcourse I love Aslan for obvious reasons- he is the golden Lion. Both a very dangerous and lovingly warm force.

Reepicheep, because of his attachment with his tale 😉

Breehy-ny-breeny .. uhm..etc, because he is a talking horse that ‘HAS’ a boy.

Puddleglum. I feel sort of close to him. Because he is a pessimist and so am I (not as chronically as him I might add) He is like the personification of a gloomy, wet Marsh land. But by being together with Eustace and Jill, he ends up with a small hope of a more positive outlook on life and himself, after Jill gives him a hug “I never dreamt of her doing that. Even though I am a good looking chap” ..lol.. he is so sweet.

For elanorelle-

I guess I will call you Ela then unless I end up thinking up something else 😀 .. My hobbies are: reading for one, I read A LOT. At the moment I am just starting “the wind-up birds chronicle” by Haruki Murakami and Im rereading my favorite author Italo Calvino’s “If a winters night a traveler” Also Im trying to finish the 5th volume of George RR Martin’s “Game of Thrones” series but Ive grown exhausted with all the character jumps and the never ending war talk in those books, so right now I doubt that I will finish them all and then instead just watch the series on tv.

Then I sometimes paint and draw or write my own little stories when I feel the need to artistically express myself.

I have a border collie dog named Luca (actually that name is sort of a play with the Lucy name, it also means -'little light'. But I liked Luca better as a dog name then Lucy) I train her to do funny tricks. Currently Im training her to “dog-dance” very funny.

Y’all seem to be talking a lot in here on the member introduction pages, I like that, then we can get to know eachother beyond the avatar-name and pic easier. That is very different from over on the ‘Once upon a Time’ forum where Kristi caught me on her fish hook.

Hello Grimmsistr!
We met just briefly in chat yesterday. I'm narniagirl11, though most people call me Engee or Arna. I am a Christian, a homeschooler, and a huge lover of Narnia. I also greatly enjoy The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, and almost anything written by G. A. Henty and Sir H. Rider Haggard. I enjoy reading, writing, costume planning and making, acting, making movies, and photography. I really hope you enjoy your time here! 😀
The Lion's Blessings,
Engee
