Hello, My name is A.A., I am quite fond of  my Privacy, and will say no more.

Since I was a child, I fell in love with science fiction and Fantasy, My favorite books/Tv Shows/Movies are either Sci-fi, or Fantasy, I have always been a shy person, When I was little, I used to imagine what it would be like if i had, say a TARDIS, or a pet Dragon.
when i was around 9, i started making up fake countries, and names, and i still have that power, to create a name from the back of my mind. enough about my childhood.

I am quite an amateur writer, and what i write, cannot be compared to  the others in this site. I will keep trying, and hopefully one day, i shall be a good writer, or not, depends on what fate has in mind.

@Lubaina - I agree! I think it would be awesome if we could get a serious community of fantasy writers going here, but the setup of the site doesn't lend itself well to forum discussions... we'll get there though!

@Fictionstorie - The only thing that matters is that you have the ability to dream up an amazing story. The writing will just get better with time, and I can safely say that I personally still have a ways to go in the latter arena ;-P

Hi Arutha.
It is always fun to find someone who has enjoyed the same books you have, although I will admit it has been a long time since I last read them. I have read Magician: Apprentice, Magician: Master, and Silverthorn. Unfortunately, life happened and I was unable to finish reading Prince of the Blood. Of course, now that I have remembered that, I am just going to have to add it to my need-to-read-list. Along with my 30+ other books I need to read. :)

Lol well I'm pretty picky but his stuff is always good. He's got about 5 sagas and the legacy now, all in midkemia. Also, the one other series I love about as much as Feist's stuff is the Codex Alera by Jim Butcher. It's wicked good, though the last book in the series left a little something to be desired...

'Ello, my name is Volker.  I used to write mostly horror fiction, but a few years ago, especially after I began taking an interest in various role-playing games, I became interested in writing fantasy, primarily high fantasy.  I normally stick to various established races and creatures (such as elves, dragons, and mages), but I try to make each one my own, creating my own lore, limitations, and abilities of each species, instead of just following the stereotypes.  Lately, I have been learning how to make my worlds more alive (it's the thing I most wish to improve on).

Hi people! Samuel Jack here from Urban England. I read a lot of fantasy, but have only just recently strayed into the world of writing. I've started writing an assassin story called "The not quite right". I'm better at poetry at the moment, so any help with prose would be great. Regards Samuel

Hi my name is Alex and I'm from Bangladesh. I'm a student' waiting very patiently for my A'level grades and studying very hard for university admissions. I am sort of a jack of all trades and writting is just one of them. I love writting fantasy stories and really creepy tales, although my mother disaproves. She thinks I'm too blood thirsty for my own good.

Hi! My name is J.L. Stephens, however I go by my pen name, Sylvia.
I really enjoy all types of writing as long as its intriguing, has good characters, has a good plot, etc. Thus, I don't have a favorite type of fantasy.
I personally write in the fantasy genre almost all the time. Some examples are my continuance of the Harry Potter Series in my novel, Myrchase. And my novel Anloric.
I'm interested in being a doctor, so I have a few short stories of the science-fiction/fantasy genre as well. :)

A few of my favorite Fantasy books? J.R.R. Tolkien's famous Lord of the Rings Trilogy, the Harry Potter Series(J.K. Rowlings), and the Inheritance Cycle (Christopher Paolini).

I look forward to being in this group and reading all the great fantasy stories everybody's written. :)
Sylvia.

Hello Everyone!
I'm Momo, and I'm somewhat new to the realm of WritersCafe! I'm eighteen years old, and I like reading, writing and travelling.  In terms of my reading tastes, I like books ranging from historical fiction to novels will a surrealist or fantasy flair.  My writing also reflects this.  As far as fantasy goes, I really like stories with alternate universes and cultures, coupled with a bit of magic and, of course, a mythical creature here and there.  If you want to chat about writing or anything else, feel free to drop me a message! Happy writing!

Hello.

My name is Heather but I write under the pen name H.M. Hearing.  I live in northern GA. and struggle to live day to day.  My husband and two kids live in a small double wide on the outskirts of Loganville.
I write to escape the reality of everyday life.  A majority of my work is about dragons.  I put them in alight you don't see or at least I haven't.  Dragons are everything to me, an obsession if you will.  These magnificent creatures give me power, strength, and a sense of well being.  I envy their freedom and often wish to be as they are.
My stories always have a romantic thread in them so it could be easily said that I like romantic fantasy.  Besides romance high emotional states saturate my works.  I love reviews on my work because I am always trying to get better.

I look forward to reading others work and I hope you read mine.  Thank you everyone.

Hello, everyone!

My name is unpronounceable for most of humankind , but fortunately it can be shortened to Gosia. I’m an university student in my twenties, about to face the real life very soon. I’ve always dream of becoming a writer, but actually never did anything about it. Recently I decided to stop being a pathetic whimpering deadbeat and give my dreams a try.

I enjoy reading (what a shocker), but fortunately for my fitness I have numerous other hobbies like horse riding, archery, fishing, kayaking and several other suspiciously non-feminine activities. Did I mention I’m a girl? As for fantasy literature, my top favorite authors are Terry Goodkind, David Eddings, Andrzej Sapkowski and J.R.R. Tolkien.

Hello! 

I'd rather not say my real name but I'll just go by D if that's okay. ^^ Or Inferno, whichever you want. I'm a fan of multiple Fantasy genres but my two favorite would have to be Heroic fantasy and Epic fantasy. The book I'm writing is named Gifted and it would have to be Epic fantasy since the central theme is good and evil and with each chapter more characters are introduced. I'd recommend it if you like fantasy overall.

I'm willing to take suggestions and I would love to meet new people via this group.

Hi everyone! I'm known as Gretchen Clarke here, and I'm not saying my real name, so you can just call me Gretchen. For as long as I can remember, I've enjoyed reading about worlds that 'didn't exist'. When I first wrote my own fantasy, though, I discovered that they do, in a way, exist, to the author. My first story was a non-fiction that I wrote when I was very young as I watched the news go over Hurricane Katrina. Each time the radar picture changed, I'd scribble my crayons across the page to try and match the new picture, all the while coming up with captions in my mind. My first fantasy/fiction story was called "My Planetary Trip". It was a story that inspired a book, which I've revamped, though it has the same name as the original book did. (I'm thinking of putting the original story as an extra at the end of the book, if anyone wants to read the original.) I'm glad to be a part of Fantasy Foretold, and I'm also excited to read the different featured stories. Thanks for inviting me! :D

Hi everyone, 

My name is Katiya, I'm from Hawaii but I've lived almost all over the world. Due to moving I always lost contact with friends and turned to books for comfort. I think the first books I ever read was Harry Potter series, the Inheritance Cycle, and LOTR's. I've read a ton of different books from all genre from adventure to suspense to psychological thriller and I've got to say my all time favorite is FANTASY and SCI-FI and of course Steampunk. 

I started writing stories influenced by books, movies, and video/pc games. I would describe my style to by some what video game ish. Write now I am writing a book called Castle of Clouds that is sort of an assassin/steampunk/sorcery type of thingymajiggy... if those are too your fancy I would love to have a review. And since I am an avid reader, you don't even have to ask me twice to read and review your writing in return. 

I'm excited to be apart of this group and meet everyone and take a peak into everyone's amazing stories. 

Xoxo

Greetings! Please address me either by my nickname: Firons, or by my penname: Pendulum. I'm a fantasy lover/fans and I do mean all sorts of it, as long as it is the main genre. There is an exception to it, and that is when it is coupled with romance with romance being the main genre (I just love it!) I'm open to all swap/exchange reads, as you all may call it, however, I am only free on weekends. Thus, you may have to wait. With no more delay, my story's named "The Spider Queen", please enjoy!

Hello everyone,
         My name is Chris, my Pen name is Vouren, who is also a character in my book series. I've been writing since I was 13 and I've always loved it. In recent years I've finally made steps towards writing the final version of my series.
         I'm a HUGE fan of high fantasy, since I've created an entire universe for my stories to take part in. In addition I like to use elements that are mythological and Heroic but I twist everything around as much as possible. Overall I use almost every form of fantasy in my writings and turn them dark. So Dark fantasy in my bread and butter. No villain is a villain and no hero is a hero. Demonic creatures and the blurred lines between what's good and what's necessary fill the pages of everything I write.
      So if this sounds like something you'd like than feel free to check out my page and give my stories a try. The completed story I have up right now is called Legacy and it's the prequel to my pride and joy series The Last Stand. So enjoy and let me know what you think
