Don't lsiten to your mother, Lucy, homework is overrated. I never did it and I'm doing quite well at uni

Besides, 18 years olds are sposed to have fun. I know I do.

So spam away! Except not about your love for Twilight. That's looking for trouble right there...

What I'm most looking forward to with this new development is bwgan's reactions to her daughter posting in the future. Could make for some interesting forum discussion...mostly in the Inn though

I've seen some of herposts, and no longer think it's a Beatles reference. I'm pretty sure it's Lucy as in Lucifer. Sigh. Twilighters.

I gave up on my 1st attempt because it was too much effort at the time :rant:

Though i'm still hugely confused this time around too, i just seem to be going with the flow and hope it all turns out right at the end

To spam as much as possible until a mod or higher comes in and tells you that spamming the Intro thread is against the rules.
That's how it's always worked.

Also, hello to you Hound!
Don't worry the series is worth the effort, you'll see.

Welcome to theHound and Starrakatt. Enjoy the fora!

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

Haven't done this for a while...

*ahem*

A big welcome to all the new folks who have arrived since the last time I said hello. Have a look around, there's much of interest to find. We're also quite a friendly bunch, despite outward appearances; I mean, we even gave a warm welcome to a Goodkind fan and if that isn't above and beyond etc... I don't know what is.

Pop into the Discussions and have a chat; there's bound to be someone who disagrees with you vehemently (that person is quite likely to be me, if the evidence of the past is anything to go by...) And poke your head into the Other Literature subforum and you can argue (with me again, most likely) about the books and authors you love and hate. The Movies, Music and TV subforum is worth your time too; where you may find yourself defending your love of Star Trek amongst other things to me (Is anyone else spotting a pattern here...?)
And, spoilers permitting obviously, make sure you go into the Book Forums (it's why we're all here, after all) for wild theorising and masses of overthinking about the books themselves (and very little argument from me, rather surprisingly...)

Enjoy.

If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. If some one maintains that two and two are five, or that Iceland is on the equator, you feel pity rather than anger, unless you know so little of arithmetic or geography that his opinion shakes your own contrary conviction. … So whenever you find yourself getting angry about a difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination, that your belief is going beyond what the evidence warrants.

Hey everyone

Call me Sera, I'm 21 and a psychology student. My forum presence will be fairly restricted as I'm only half way through House of Chains and I don't want to stumble on any spoilers! Thought I'd seek this place out as my best friend recommended the books to me but can't remember anything that happened pre-Toll the Hounds *sigh* and I do get excited about discussing books. Now uni's over for the summer, I'll do my best to catch up

Hey everyone

Hey, and welcome to the site.

Don't worry, we constantly have new members appearing who haven't finished the series, and so you won't be spoilered. Probably. As long as you avoid Brood.
