  1. I'm from Michigan, USA - I love to dabble in all arts and crafts. From refinishing furniture, to paiting canvas and the walls of my house, to cheesy holiday crafts and decorations. I've read WoT several times and I've just started to play with some fan art paintings and joining stuff like "The Kin"!! and other discussion boards. 

    I'm excited to see and share ideas. 

    Cheers!! and thanks for the welcome ?

  2. I'm new to the group and I think your guys paintings are great! Some of those flowers are pretty amazing. 

    Here is one of my most recent. I look forward to sharing and seeing your next works.

    Yesssssss. Special place in my heart for the highlands there, in particular. Helps when you have extended family to stay with too ? When were you last there?

     

    About 3 years ago, while you were visiting here ? lol....I also have extended family of a sort. My step mom is from there and her family lives in the Blackburn area. I've only been there the once, but cannot wait to go again someday!!!

    Wheeee!!

     

    Welcome to the Band then Aisling, you've come to the right place for tall stories and travel talk! ?

     

    Where in the world do you hail from? / What's been your favourite travel experience to date??

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I come from the Great Lakes State , US ... I love the native stories and mythogy of the area. However for traveling, my favorite place has been Scottland. Talk about stories and history!!! Just sitting in the pub enjoying a pint and listening ....

  5. I like the Aes Sedai banner alright. Better than the Marriage Knife necklace on ToM. I don't get that. I feel there are more significant symbols that could have been used. By this book there's a couple scenes in Ebou Dar, but it's not a major backdrop for ToM.  What about the Golden Crane of Malkier or the Ashaman pins? 

  6. Both Perrin and Mat. I appreciate the way Perrin likes to think through a situation, and he is unfailingly loyal..Dumai's Wells among so many other examples. So many series have young heros and no one stops to think " why are these more experienced people even listening to me?". I like that Perrin considers the weirdness of that....And ohhh Mat. Poor, hilarious, accidentally heroric, unrealized genius; Mat! And when he is the hero, what thanks does he get?(Tear) 

  7. I'm a big fan of the narrorators. I've heard other series that I love to read, but can't listen to because I feel the narrorator doesn't get the feel of the book. I think Kate Reading and Michael Kramer do a great job.

     

  8. Hi there! I'm a long time WoT reader, but usually follow fan art stuff. I have read and/or listened to the series 7 or 8 times and I'm looking forward to discussing it with other fans. Cheers!

    And I think that as fans, the expectation that they'll maintain some kind of racial consistency in casting does immense harm.  Insofar as the producers try to honor those expectations, they hamstring themselves when choosing from the pool of available actors.  And insofar as the fans harbour such expectations, they make room for ridiculous arguments about racial purity and for outright racism to find a "safe space" in the fandom, as we've already seen in the exhausting debates on the subject. 

     

    Cheers!! Well said. Thank you!
