What is your username and why did you choose it? Jansina. I'm boring...it's my name. Who are some of your favorite authors? Jane Austen is my all-time favorite. I'm a sucker for well-written romance! Plus, she's hilarious. Other favorites... C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Louisa May Alcott, Charles Dickens, Gene Stratton Porter, Harper Lee, Lemony Snicket, Regina Doman...I'm sure there are way more. How did you find this forum? Let's see if I can remember... What books do you like to read? You can probably guess based on my favorite authors, but I really enjoy classical literature. My current favorites are Northanger Abbey (Austen), Freckles (Gene Stratton Porter), and To Kill a Mockingbird (Harper Lee). Do you write? if so, tell us a bit about it! Yes ma'am! I've been writing for as long as I can remember. What are some of your hobbies? Acting, singing, and dancing. I'm doing ballet and Irish dance right now, though I know about 10 different kinds. (These two just happen to be my favorite.) What is your favorite color? Green! I'm a little frog. (My nickname is Froggy.)

What is your username and why did you choose it? I too am boring, Catherine is my name. But it is also the name of one of my favorite Saints. Who are some of your favorite authors? J.K Rowling, Eoin Colfer, C.S. Lewis, Regina Doman, Suzanne Collins, Rick Riordan, and I could go on all day. How did you find this forum? Jansina! She asked me to help her come up with ideas so I joined it! What books do you like to read? Oh boy, short version or detailed? I'll go with short. Mysteries, adventures, there has to be a lot of action hehe. Harry Potter, the Fairy Tale Novels, Heroes of Olympus, the Hunger Games, Chronicles of Narnia, Artemis Fowl and just other random books I have picked up. Do you write? if so, tell us a bit about it! Oh yes! I love to write! Lately I have been doing a lot of poems, as they are quick and I don't have too much free time most days. But I also write books. I have completed the first draft of one (editing it is taking forever though ) and am working on the sequel. What are some of your hobbies? Reading,writing, cooking, baking, designing graphic art, playing violin and piano, drawing, painting, climbing trees, crocheting, singing, and spending time with my family. What is your favorite color? Yellow. It is such a bright and cheery color.

Hehe this should be interesting. It will probably end up being a mashup of both of your introduction posts. What is your username and why did you choose it? My username is my real name. I chose it because when I was looking over the forum before I could see that Jansina and Catherine had both used their real names and thought maybe we had to. Otherwise, I might have used something completely random. Who are some of your favorite authors? Regina Doman, Rick Riordan, G.K. Chesterton, Shannon Hale, Cathy Marie Hake, Eoin Colfer, and many, many more. How did you find this forum? Through Jansina. Her signature on another forum, which we're both members of, was advertising it. What books do you like to read? A lot of fantasy/fairy tales. The Fairy Tale Novels, Books of Bayern, Artemis Fowl, Percy Jackson, Stardust, and some historical fiction. Do you write? if so, tell us a bit about it! I do! I didn't back when I was younger. It wasn't until I was maybe 11 that I actually started writing stories. I remember one of my first. A Cinderella retelling. I never finished it all the way through, but I've revised it many times since, and I think I still have the first draft! Anyway....I got a little carried away there. I love writing because it is a great way to channel your emotions/express yourself, to tell a story that you are dying to share with others. What are some of your hobbies? Reading, crocheting, playing the piano, dancing to music whether in the car or the privacy of my own room ( ). What is your favorite color? Green! Definitely green.

(I'll repeat what Emilie said... ) What is your username and why did you choose it? It's my name Who are some of your favorite authors? Jane Austen, J R R Tolkien, C S Lewis, Regina Doman, Louisa May Alcott, Brian J. Gail, Christian Frank ( ), and tons more. I am a book-a-holic. How did you find this forum? Jansina- both through a signature on another forum we're both a part of and through facebook. What books do you like to read? I'll read almost anything once.... some favorites are the Fairy Tale Novels, the Hunger Games, Little Women, Narnia, Lord of the Rings, historical fiction, well-written Christian romance.... Do you write? if so, tell us a bit about it! sporadically. hehe. If I get bitten by the inspiration bug, I can whip out some poetry or songs, but it's hard for me to write on demand. I really enjoyed junior english in high school.... we did a lot of creative writing. One of my favorite set of short stories that I wrote is based on the illustrations from the Chronicles of Harris Burdick. I also blog fairly frequently, and that's allowed me a realistic creative outlet lately. What are some of your hobbies? Swing dancing is definitely numero uno. After that, scrapbooking, knitting, reading (of course), listening to music, blogging.... What is your favorite color? Depending on the day, blue and purple
