You do not hear, and so you cannot be redeemed.
In the name of their ancient pride and humiliation, they had made commitments with no possible outcome except bereavement.
He knew only that they had never striven to reject the boundaries of themselves.

geez, wish I could remember all the witty things I said the FIRST time I did this...
I'm a Junior BA student in the creative writing program at FSU. I'm fascinated by SRD's work, and am interested in discussing them with other like-minded individuals.
I am wary of (overextended)teenfandom ala Shatner's infamous Trekkie Convention skit on Saturday Night Live, and, frankly, believe I've seen a bit of that here...
I'm as social as the next guy, but you'll no doubt quickly discover that is not my sole purpose in joining this forum. I am 39 and probably a bit judgemental and discriminatory (and I mean these in the kindliest way you can take them) about what constitutes an enjoyable (for me) level of intellectual discourse. I have an admittedly professional interest in how it is that SRD does what he does, and exactly what other people think what he does IS - not that I am above picking apart elements of SRD's worlds as if I had some confusion about where the fantasy ends and my life begins, but I am VERY self-aware when it may seem that I'm doing this AS IF I had that confusion.
I would be particularly interested, as a means of getting a ball rolling, to find (or start) threads about the roles of women in SRD's works, especially if I can expect contributions from female readers. Also, what is SRD's place in the "meta-discussion," his relation to other writers on the "Big Ideas," guilt and power being two that jump immediately to mind.
I consider myself in no means superior to anyone else; college isn't making me any "smarter," just quantifying my ability to jump through hoops - I'm just stating some (by no means all) interests pertaining to my joining this forum.
I also am a Julian May fan.
cheers!

Welcome once again, Pietten. 
You will find many threads of that nature here, if you look around. Yes, many of us play here quite a bit (I know I do, and enjoy doing it), but you will also find some pretty serious discussions in many of the forums. For instance, a great serious thread is about "Pitch's Idea: the Nature of Evil", which can be found in the TC forum, and which I just bumped for you. And there are some great discussions in the two dissecting forums about a variety of serious topics which come up in the various chapters.
Many of us here have college educations (and many of us do not) -- but none of us will hold being in college against you.
As time has gone on, many of us have become a family for each other. Our get-togethes, such as Elohimfest are just as much, if not more, to celebrate our friendships, and spend time together, as much as it is to have a geekfest over SRD and his writing. Think on that and be dismayed.

Hi everyone. I actually joined last week (without saying hello), and then there was that server glitch which erased me.
So here I am. Hi!
Read the Chronicles about 8 years ago. Reading them for the third time now in preparation for "Runes." VERY excited. The titles of books 2-4 actually gave me chills when I first saw them.
Glad to be here.
