I am New

Lithiel Morn · Oct 22, 2015

I considered it... I am a bit torn - I both want to and don't. :look:

I think I would rather write on my own time without the pressure, but perhaps I am just experiencing it wrong and it should not feel stressful at all. Perhaps the time and length limit might even help. What about you?

We actually have a thread for NaNoWriMo, but I am not sure that you can see it yet. Once you have 25 posts, and an avatar (and a complete name, but you already have that), you can apply for Citizenship, which will open up a lot of new threads for you to see. :pleased-1:

Valmai Belle · Oct 22, 2015

Ah, okay. Yeah, I'm still thinking about what I want my avatar to look like.

I'm also still thinking about it. I don't know whether I want to start this year, or maybe next.

Lithiel Morn · Oct 22, 2015

You can contact Aryawnah Federov here in Tar Valon, she usually has a massive folder full of avatars. Who knows, you might like one of them.

Also, if you would like to write, nothing says you cannot do it outside of NaNoWriMo.

Valmai Belle · Oct 22, 2015

Thank you, she did say to contact her if I needed anything. You've all been really welcoming.

Roheryn ni Galghandhrei t'al'Djinn · Oct 22, 2015

Welcome!
If you have any questions, or just want to chat, feel free to message me!

I've done NaNo in the past... I'm still trying to decide if I'm going to do it this year...

Valmai Belle · Oct 22, 2015

Hi Roheryn, thank you!

What do you write?

Roheryn ni Galghandhrei t'al'Djinn · Oct 22, 2015

I mostly write fantasy. You?
And Roh for short.

Hello everyone,

I am new here, as the title says.

I started reading the Wheel of Time this year. I quite love it, although I got a bit stuck somewhere in the middle and I've only reached book 10.
Euhm... my favourite character is Gareth Bryne. I just like how stubborn he is, and knows what to do without always saying it. He kinda just goes with the flow.

I found TarValon.net through many different paths - from Google through Instagram through Dragonmount.

Looking forward to meet everyone.

Welcome to Tar Valon! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! :welcome

Dnae Ila · Oct 22, 2015

Welcome! We're glad you found us! :hug

You seem to be fitting in already.
About pockets... pocketing someone is very unofficial. It's just a fun thing we do. It's typically done by a higher "ranking" member to a lower, but not always. You can have more than one person in your pocket, and you can be in more than one pocket at a time. All it really means is "Hey, I like you." A "pocket landlord" may act protective of their pocketees and drop them virtual goodies from time to time, but that's about it.

More about you! Do you prefer tea or coffee? Or other?

Nebka Galyn · Oct 22, 2015

Hi!! I'm new too

Amina Coram · Oct 22, 2015

Hi Valmai! It looks like you're settling in pretty well already!

What is your favorite non-WoT book?

Soronhen Ciryaher · Oct 22, 2015

Welcome to TarValon Valmai!
(You can call me Soro, everybody does!)

Satrim Kha'os · Oct 22, 2015

Welcome Val!! Most people simply call me Satrim, but I've been called Sat a few times.
Pocketing is great!! My Pocket Citizen is probably off eating cookies somewhere and my one of my Pocket Landlords is here *waves to Amina*.

Marivea al'Corriyi · Oct 22, 2015

Welcome! Good to see new faces, metaphorically speaking. :P

Amina Coram · Oct 23, 2015

*waves back at Satrim*

Oh right the nicknames thing. I've been called Mina a few times, but I really prefer Amina. Or Your Majesty.

Valmai Belle · Oct 23, 2015

Mmm, Roh Sedai, I write fantasy when I do write. I'm still working on it.

Hi Nymala Sedai, thank you.* I will.

Hi Dnae. Thank you for explaining about pockets! Coffee. Sometimes tea, but mostly coffee. Or hot chocolate.

Hi Nebka, nice to meet a fellow new one.

Hi Amina! I still have to find a favourite book. I like all fantasy. Yours? LOL, no, I think I might skip the Your Majesty part.

Hi Soro Gaidin, thank you!

Hi Saitrim. Nice to meet you.

Hi Marivea Sedai, nice to meet you. I will get a "face" soon as I decide what I'm in the mood for!

Alyccea Nymaessene · Oct 23, 2015

Welcome to the site, Valmai! :welcome You mentioned that it's summer where you are... whereabouts are you? *secretly hopes it is Australia *

Valmai Belle · Oct 23, 2015

Hi Alyccea, thank you!

South Africa, I'm afraid. I don't like kangaroos.

Alyccea Nymaessene · Oct 23, 2015

That's still good! Always glad to see someone else here with their seasons the right way 'round :fistbump

How come you don't like kangaroos? I admit, they scare me a little bit. But not as much as emus do. :look:

And we have quite a few South Africans here on the site. Once you become a Citizen (and you're only a few posts away from being able to submit your application

) you'll be able to join in the South African table in the Olde Warder and Hen (along with the Writers' Table and any others that tickle your fancy)!

Valmai Belle · Oct 23, 2015

Oh wow, that's amazing. I read you said some things were hidden until later (Citizen, Novice, etc.)

Yes. We should have Bel Tine now!

I don't know... don't they kick? And those pink babies are just creepy...
