Ah cool, hello Mona

I'm going to check that out in a bit. I take it fanfiction is just people writing their own stories but with all the characters from stuff like Harry Potter etc. Basically, furthering the series' themselves for others to enjoy.

Hi anisia, I was wondering what type of fanfiction you read and where you read it? I'd be interested in getting into it but don't know where to start!

I'm Dan by the way!

Hello I see you are a fellow Pratchett fan. Hows it going?

hahaha @ Epic Laptop Death of 2007. I know your pain. Happened to me a few months ago. Lost all my photography. I have always wanted to write and have written songs and poetry and stuff but never anything like a story. Lately I have thought alot about getting started and think I might make it a project for over summer as at the moment I have a lot of work and exams to think about. If you are going to read a Terry Pratchett, I would recommend The Colour of Magic, Mort, or maybe Equal Rites. They are three that stood out to me. If you do read Colour of Magic, the second Discworld novel is a sort of follow on (The Light Fantastic). They both have one of my favourite characters from the whole series called Twoflower. I wont give any clues to his personality as hes really funny. Death is a really great character throughout the books aswell.

Oh, I didnt know Darren Shan was liked or even known by many. Maybe its smaller in England. I know what being broke is like too because I am a student at the moment. Wanted to go for a coffee at the coffee shop today to get some coursework done and I didnt even have a few pounds.

I might get round to reading the third HDM book. Its pretty funny that Tolkein is know for how insanely descriptive he is but you needed the films to know the faces! haha

Ill always love the Harry Potter books. I dunno why, but I think its because I hate the place I live and the things that go on, I love being able to disappear into a completely different world. Its the same with Pratchett. I desperatly want to live in Ankh-Morpork on the Discworld (you wont get that reference unless you've read Pratchett)

Have you written/are you writing anything of your own?

Ah thats really cool. Meet them next year? As in like 8 months time? I do really like using the forums abit too much at the moment because I'm sat with coursework infront of me and the laptop. The coursework is barely done. Haha.

Yeah, I love kids fantasy which I am always a bit embarrased about. Have you read the Darren Shan books? Demonata and The Saga of Darren Shan. I might have a look at the Coldfire Trilogy. LOTR is on my TBR list as I read the first of the three volumes and really enjoyed it but was given a college course book to read so I haven't gone back to it since. I am going to do the rest of the Potter books then onto Tolkein. Hobbit first then I will tackle LOTR. I enjoyed the first two Dark Materials books but didn't manage to finish the third.

I seem to be settling into the forum fine thanks! Really enjoying using it as I've always been passionate about books and reading but never really had friends into it. So now I've found a group of people to share it all with, it is great!

Yeah, I will add it to my TBR list I think. Theres a few doorstop books in the TBR so it might be a while before I get round to it but I shall try and find it at my second hand book shop.

Are you into fantasy stuff then?

Hello!

I was just wondering what you thought of the Garth Nix books as I have seen them a few times and wouldn't mind trying them.

not bad at all thanks.

i like your poetry on your blog.

especially the line in Untitled that reads 'The mind is full of clutter..'

its so true!

Yeah, I will do. You should definatly read Eragon. Eldest and Brisingr will follow as you will be hooked on the series instantly. Then you will be desperatly waiting for the fourth book to be released. I was the same as I was introduced to Eragon as Eldest came out then had to wait about a year for Brisingr and it was absoloute hell!

Anyway, I need sleep.

Take care and I'll catch you around!

Night

Ah, sounds good. I usually only ready Fantasy and stuff but there are a few novels I really enjoy. I think the main reason I dont read many novels of other genres is because I dont have many friends that recommend them and I feel safer with a fantasy. Prefer to be taken to another world of magic etc. One of my favourite books however, is The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night Time. I love Terry Pratchetts books, The Harry Potter series, read Book 1 of LOTR but have the rest and The Hobbit on my TBR after Potter series pile along with The Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks Enjoyed first two books of Dark Materials but not the third. I love Christopher Paolinis Inheritance Cycle aswell. Have you tried or read Eragon, Eldest and Brisingr or Shannara Series by Brooks?

Hello! Yeah, so what other books are you into? I'm Dan by the way.
