Hi everyone!! My name is Abi, I'm 17 and I've been writing for 5 years. I've had some articles published in a small magazine and newsletter but I'm working on getting a short story of mine published. I'm really excited about this place, it looks like an awesome resource.

What is your username and why did you choose it? My Username is ChoteKathakara which means little storyteller in Hindi. I chose it because I write books set in mythical Indian world and it is also the website for my blog (www.chotekathakara.com) Who are some of your favorite authors? I LOVE Tamora Pierce, Mercedes Lackey, Regina Doman, Gail Carson Levine, and basically any author with the genius to come up with a compelling fairytale retelling. How did you find this forum? I got lost. What books do you like to read? I study and research fairy tales and their multiple forms. I love reading stories that have fairytale or mythological influences or are beautiful retellings. Do you write? if so, tell us a bit about it! I love to write, have been doing so forever. Particularly fantasy. Currently though, I am trying to create a literary journal that caters to those fascinated by fairytales, folklore, and myth, especially retellings. Since I am working on getting submissions I am shamelessly plugging it. Please go to www.eastofthesunwestofthemoon.weebly.com and submit!!! What are some of your hobbies? Reading and Writing. currently I am trying to start my own literary journal, SUBMIT! lol 'nuff said What is your favorite color? Blue, it has infinite possibilities....

So I think I joined during November? But this is my first time posting. Hi.
What is your username and why did you choose it? Delaney is my name. I like being called my name. Or I guess you could come up with a nickname for me. I have a friend who calls me Pip after the chipmunk from Enchanted but I'm pretty sure he's the only one allowed to call me that.
Who are some of your favorite authors? J.R.R. Tolkien, G.K. Chesterton, Edgar Allan Poe, Jane Austen, Emily Bronte, J.K. Rowling, Neil Gaiman... among others.
How did you find this forum? Jannyyyy.
What books do you like to read? Books by the aforementioned authors. Plus the Anne of Green Gables books, I Capture the Castle, old-fashioned children's literature, fairy tales and cosy British murder mysteries. And more recently, comic books and graphic novels.
Do you write? if so, tell us a bit about it! I do. I gave up on believing that I'll ever do it as a profession, because there are other arts that I feel more drawn to, but I don't think I'll ever stop completely. I journal to stay sane and I'm working on a collection of original fairy tales. I also have some ideas for a bunch of short stories based on some of the stories my grandma has told me about her childhood. And I have two ideas for stage plays that I hope to get written down one of these days.
What are some of your hobbies? Drawing, dancing, singing, acting, piano, baking, crying over fictional characters and gazing longingly at vintage clothing on etsy. And drinking da TEA.
What is your favorite color? I'm not so much attracted to one individual color as I am to color combinations. Right now I really love deep emerald green, brown and a muted berry shade. Just picturing that combination makes me reeeally haaappyyyyy.

SOUL SISTAH. FINALLY.Also, you DO need a nickname. Anna and I think you need something other than Deyla. We must think about this... HOW ABOUT PTERODACTYL.
