Hi there. -waves- I'm new around here. Nice to meet you. Have a spork. -passes out sporks-
One or two of you who have read Sister-to-the-Queen's latest (I think) post will have heard of me. I am the aforementioned Xx Clear Dawnlight xX from ff.net.
I'm generally pretty crazy, so I expect I'll fit in nicely around here. Oh, and I love LOTR. =P
I'll probably mostly be lurking.
So yeah. You have been warned. Or something. -

Wow, a spork! It's so... shiny!
Anyway, have a star for sailing tall ships, a can of dehydrated water, and... well, I'm out of vorpal swords, so have a Snickers snack.
And if you get those references, you may kick me. -

Well, you amused me, but since you offer... -kicks you-
-ahem-
`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
...Yeah, I know it by heart. =_=
And yee! Terry Pratchett is one of my favourite authors. =3 -

I suppose that'll teach me to make multi-layered references. I was actually trying to reference a scene from a Dresden Files book and completely forgot that the scene itself references Jabberwocky. Not that I can really complain, since Jabberwocky is awesome too.
"And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock with eyes of flame
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
and burbled as it came."
Oddly enough, I've also got it memorized. -

-laughs sheepishly- Oh. Sorry. I need to read those. xD
It's a great poem. One of (I think) two that I have memorised, the other being The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe (my favourite poem). If pushed I can probably remember more, but off the top of my head that's it.
"One, two! One, two! And through and through
His vorpal sword went snicker-snack
He left it dead, and with its head
He came galumphing back"
...Yeah, okay, I'll stop. =P -

Well well well. I was wondering when we'd get to see you. SttQ spoke very highly of you indeed; if you're half the writer she says you are, I for one will be more than satisfied. Have a fuzzy scarf for thy pains.
P.S. Which department are you thinking of putting Agents in, if any? -

Have a conical hat! It's got tin foil and duct tape in it, so it keeps the conspiracy theorists out and deflects bullets!*

You have undoubtedly by now received a notification of my subscription to your sequel, if FF isn't messing up alerts. :D
Pleased to meet you, I'm Calyn. At least on FF. Here I am Jacer. Obviously. Dur.
Ooh. Sporks. *takes spork*
Here! *throws a package of hamburgers, package of buns, bottle of barbecue sauce, and grilling utensils at you* Go have a BBQ on that tall ship of yours.
Unless you're vegetarian. In that case, they are veggie burgers.
Have fun! -
