Why, hello there!

[FiachraÓRaghallaigh]

I remember picking up "Eye of the World" in a shop a few years ago. For whatever reason, I just couldn't get into it. Then a few weeks ago, I picked it up again, and literally couldn't put it down until I was finished it (by which time it was nearly time to get up). Well... no book ever did that to me before. I still haven't had the time to read the subsequent books, because I'm doing the Leaving Cert (end of school exams), but I'll get around to them when I've got those out of the way.

 

Anyway, my name is Fiachra, and I'm a 19 year old from Ireland. My pass-times include reading, writing, socialising, alcoholic beverages, and travelling (restricted to France and Germany for the most part). In terms of writing, I'm working on a fantasy book at the moment - though not the stereotypical kind. After university, I'd like to become a journalist, and use that as a gateway into writing fiction full time. Both are still very much dreams though.

 

Anyway, nice to meet you all (hopefully!). I'll probably talk to you a lot more, when I don't have a ton of pesky exams hanging over my head!

Fáilte go DM! Welcome to DM! Always great to have another Irishman around here

[Elgee]

A writer! Welcome to DM, Fiachra ... how on earth does one pronounce that, btw?

 

Anyhooo ... *tugs your sleeve and points towards the Role Playing boards down at the bottomish* ... I'm sure you would welcome the practice

[_wolfbrother_]

It's pronounced Fee-a-kra [isnt it? ] Mother

OOh a writer! What kind of writing do you do? We have the really fun RP section, which Elgee mentioned but if you have original works or are working on your own thing we have the Artist Crafter Writers Guild in the Social Groups that you should check out too! We have different levels of members, from people who haven't written before to published writers, and we have discussions, tips and tricks, help with your works..what ever you want to get out of it we try to provide! Check them out sometime!

I don't have the commitment to RP... My coadmin on my writing website has been trying to get me to do it for years, but hasn't succeeded, so I doubt anyone else will! I'll definitely look at the Artist Crafter Writers' Guild though. Internet writing has helped me a lot. :)

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

welcome, and what a lovely accent.

[FiachraÓRaghallaigh]

Accent? I'm confused, but thanks nonetheless...

 

Actually can someone direct me on how to join social groups? I'm a little confused as to how they work here...

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

it was a silly joke, sorry.

 

you go to the social group(s) you're interested in, and there will be a thread near the top explaining how to join the one(s) you're interested in. someone will surely be by with more specific instructions shortly, though.

If you go to the main forum page and scroll down you will see a block called Social Community. In the block you will see a list of the Social Groups. Each one is a little different with who is in them, how they are run and what they are about, but if you check onto them there will be threads posted at the top of each one with descriptions of what that group is about and how to join it.

 

I know its kind of vague but i'm not really sure what all you want explained about them.

Oh yeah, I understand. A pity the oul blas Gaeleach doesn't work that well with the girls at home. =P

It's probably from hanging around for two long on politics.ie. >_>

Perfecto. Sorry, for a little while there I thought it was a forum plugin you were using. I understand now, thanks. =)

Oh stop. Every girl bar our own cant stand our charm

 

Scroll around the Social Groups man and get to know people, and dont forget to hit the White Tower. Ill personally introduce you to everyone

 

Also, best of luck in your Leaving man *is thankful he did his last year*

[Kathleen]

Hahaha, no my verbal directions just aren't very developed :) I hope it helps you! Have a look at what is available in the groups, and remember, you can join more than one! So you don't have to worry about choosing between them, you can have them all!
