Author has written 27 stories for Chronicles of Narnia, His Dark Materials, Bible, Lord of the Rings, and Alice in Wonderland. I really think it's about time that I updated this thing... So about me: Penname: openmeadow Age: think again School: college, highschool and homeschool! What I'm on fire about: ~Christ, first and foremost! He is the center of my life, and the best thing that has ever happened to me. ~SWAP: my youth group at church, and the awesome youth paster. ~Sparks: part of the AWANA clubs, 'my' kids in grades K-2 are awesome! (If anyone here is doing the Trek/Journey books... I'd love to chat with you! ~PSEO: two years of free college! (Really, taking college courses for both high school and college credit isn't that hard!) ~Violin: this is my eighth year playing, and I'm not about to stop! What else you should know: ~My stories are never planned. When the muse hits, it goes on paper. End of story. However, there is one exception: Helklim. THis story is actually on fictionpress (same penname) and is my own idea all the way through, with the exception of Tolkien's Quenya, which I used to create the names. GO CHECK IT OUT!! ~See 'School'; my life can at time be quite... busy. So, if there's nothing new here, my muse is either on Helklim, beta'ing, working on one of my many half started idea, or at school... ~Homeschoolers have a social life! PLEASE, don't feed into the utterly false stereotypes... Where my time goes: ~School (really... did you have to ask? 16 credits...) ~figuring out the rest of my life ~writing (subcategories include my own stories, poems, brainstorming, co-writing, and beta'ing) ~reading ~RP'ing (seriously, check out the LOTR RPG here, as well as The Enchanted Forest (see The Box) and Orillium (also on The Box) ~family! ~Church: sunday school, youth group, music ministry, awana, dance ministry, VBS/Harvest Fest/kid's musical prep, biblestudy, and friends... (seriously? no wonder the weeks fly by...) Wow... I think that's it... Regarding the Role Plays: LotR RPG - Mirkwood and its conspiracies, Edoras and the difficulties of a post-war life, Lothlorien, The Undying Lands... --> Undying Lands RPG: players wanted!! Maedhros and Maglor returned from Mandos to find a Valinor divided between two ruling Houses... Survivors of an old quest, heirs of the Noldor, they will be caught in the struggle for power. Who will win? Who will fall? The Box: A wide collection role plays in every genre you can think of Orillium: Wherein the High Prince Lamatre begins to shed light on the history that he has kept hidden from Ariana, his young charge after her parents were killed. This is her journey into her true future, and the unveiling of his past. The Battle for the TowerA single duel between two long time enemies at the heart of night must now decide the future. How does such knowledge affect the outcome? And, what happens afterwards? ABSOLUTELY NONE OF MY FANFICS ARE WRITTEN FOR PROFIT! IF YOUR RECOGNIZE SOMETHING, TEN TO ONE IT'S NOT MINE (darn!) Also, I must thank my younger sisters for the time we spent bouncing ideas off of eachother and for alot of pre-editing help! | |||||||||||
