Awkward greetings are my specialty.

[Renri Tsukishima]

It's true; they are.

Hello, everyone!

I'm Wyndi, and I'm currently a rising junior in college. I've been roleplaying for almost seven years now, and I found this forum while I was looking for a good, not too restrictive HP roleplay to fill up the hole in my little roleplaying heart that my previous one left. [It got shut down for inactivity.]

I'm double-majoring in environmental studies and creative writing. Pottermore Sorted me into Ravenclaw, a decision I wholly agree with. A handful of things I love: Madeleine L'Engle's books, Pokémon, Homestuck, Batman, Doctor Who, Criminal Minds, and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator.

I hope to be someone you will enjoy roleplaying with!

[Holden Cartwright]

Welcome to the Vault, Wyndi! I'm Mollie, and I'm an INTJ personality type, if you'd like to know xD

Madeleine L'Engle is the one who writes A Wrinkle in Time, right? That was one of the few books I never quite liked or understood, but people keep telling me that there's more to it than wackiness and space travel and that it's wonderful, so I really think I need to give it a second chance.

Also, I have a fourth year Mahoutokoro student, so if you ever feel like RPing, or if you ever have any questions, feel free to shoot me a PM! :)

[Benjamin Strong]

Hey Wyndi!

It's great to see a bit more of an old-timer like myself (I've been RPing for ten years now!) it's great to see you join the Vault. I know for a fact you will enjoy yourself, because I know I am. :3

I'm Robert, just for name purposes, haha. I'm not a big fan of Batman, I'm more into his "company" rival, Iron Man. I'm a big fan of Marvel. Haha. I'm also a Pokemon fan, but who isn't, right?

Hmm, I would say Homestuck, but I honestly tried that and the fandom kind of like scared me away.

I have, a fourth year Mahou student for you to RP with! So, when I find your network I'll post in there. :3

[Paula Kendrick]

Howdy Wyndi! Welcome to vault. I'm Jesse. *waves enthusiastically*

I'm currently going into my second year of college, but I don't know if it makes me a sophomore or not cause I don't know if I got the correct amount of hours last year. I hate to hear that your other site got closed down, but I'm happy that it lead you here. I hope you really enjoy vault.

Hmm...I'm majoring in English Education and learning that some stories will always come back around and never leave me alone. And Ravenclaw's a pretty cool house though Slytherin is the greatest of the four. :D Sorry couldn't resist that's my house.

Uhm...I have no idea what Madeleine L'Engle's books are or what Homestuck is and I've never watched Doctor Who. However I am a fan of Pokémon or at least the one from like the 90s that I grew up with. And Batman at some points. Really I'm more of a Thor person.

Oh! And I have a seventh year Mahou character that I'm always happy to RP with people. :D

[Renri Tsukishima]

@ Mollie

Hello! Oh, wow, I'm so pleased to see that at least one person here has heard of the MBTI. I'm an INTP myself. ^^

Yep, that's her! Personally, I liked it because of the wackiness and space travel [among other things!], though I can see why some would be put off by either or both. I hope you do give it a second chance, though!

And thank you; I definitely will!

@ Robert

Oh gosh, Iron Man. I'm not a huge fan of him; out of the Marvel cast, I'd have to say my favorite would be...Spider-Man? I like his snark, really.

Homestuck has a...diverse fandom, to say the least. But honestly, the more popular something is, the wider the range of fans it has, so the Homestuck fandom isn't really unique in its craziness. I hold by the belief that you shouldn't let other fans deter you from your enjoyment of a series anyway - you can like something without participating in actual fandom-ing, so to speak.

@ Jesse

/waves back.

Oh dear, I hope you did get the correct amount of hours! D:

Madeleine L'Engle is most famous for writing A Wrinkle In Time. It was a required summer reading book overe here back in sixth grade; I don't know how widespread it is among other school curricula, though. Homestuck is a webcomic that...yeah, you just asked the question HS fans have been struggling to answer since the first page. Yay for Pokémon?

[Jenibelle Jesimae]

Hiya, Wyndi. Yay! Someone as new as me, great! :]

I'm JB and I graduated college last December, and I'm really thinking of going back for business or creative writing, so you must let me know sometime how creative writing is going for you. I'm kind of weird at introductions as well, but that's ok, I'll make up for it in roleplaying. Ha!

Just so you know, you're awesome because you love Batman, Pokémon, and Criminal Minds! Criminal Minds is the best show ever, Spencer's my favorite person in world!

I don't have a character at Mahoutokoro, but maybe sometime soon! But until then, don't be a stranger!

[Benjamin Strong]

Iron Man/Tony Stark has the most snark but that's a personal opinion, I also like the demon in a bottle that Tony struggles with.

As for Homestuck, I also read fifty pages into it and didn't get it, so it isn't really just the fandom, the fandom just helped me go away further. xD

Ah well. I highly doubt we won't find something in common to be friends. :3 I mean obviously we have this site/Harry Potter. Haha.

[*Admin Manda]

Hey, Wyndi! Nice to meet you! :)

Environmental Studies and Myers-Briggs? AWESOME. I honestly can't remember what I scored on the test, but definitely find it interesting. What is it that got you in to Environmental Studies?

It's great to have you - I hope you'll feel at home here! :) Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions!

[Mary-Rose Archer]

Hey Wyndi!

I <333 Madeline L'Engle as well. I read a ton of her books when I was little, my favorite were the books listed as the Kairos one's (A Wrinkle in Time, etc). My favorite of her's was A Wind in the Door and An Acceptable Time. It's nice to see that there are others out there that love her work. The first time I read her was in Third grade, a teacher pushed me to read A Wind in the Door.

[Renri Tsukishima]

@ JB

Hello! ^^ Unfortunately, I'm not the best person to ask about how the major-to-career transition is going to work out - I have no idea what I want to do once I get out of college. "Choose what interests you," they said...but how am I going to make a career out of either of my majors? So yeah, creative writing is a great major [or it has been so far], but I know that realistically...a job in the field probably won't happen.

YES, Spencer's definitely the best! I'm also a fan of Emily - I miss her wit and camaraderie already. D:

If I had enough time, I would definitely create a Hogwarts student.

@ Robert

Iron Man is snarky, but...it's a different type of snark from Spider-Man's, I feel. I don't know; I'm not familiar with Iron Man outside of the movies, whereas I've at least read some Spider-Man comics.

Oh, okay then. xD Glad it wasn't just the fandom then. Though if you don't like the comic, you should at least check out the music! [I'm a sucker for wonderful instrumental soundtracks, so I had to say that.]

@ Manda

Nice to meet you too! ANOTHER PERSON WHO KNOWS WHAT THE MBTI IS, OH MY GOD. *w*

As for environmental studies, I guess I was just raised with an appreciation of nature [my grandfather was an avid gardener, for one], and as I started to learn more about the broader issues such as pollution and global climate change, I couldn't figure out people didn't feel the same way. [Sounds cliché, I know, but there you have it.] I'm more interested in the social and political aspects of the field [as opposed to the scientific aspect].

@ Kathe [?]

Okay, wow, this site has both MBTI and L'Engle fans; I'm just going to set up camp here now. *w*

I wish I could discuss favorites with you, but I honestly like all of her books equally. For different reasons, perhaps, but equally all the same.

[Benjamin Strong]

Tony is a sarcastic snark/smart-ass snark.. I suppose you could say. So not too different from the movies? xD And as for the soundtrack, I'll look into it when I have time, haha. I like instrumentals too. :)

[Cillian Knight]

Welcome to the Vault Wyndi, always nice to see someone who's been at it for as long as I have! I hope you like it here as much as I do. :)

[Renri Tsukishima]

@ Robert

I feel like Tony's snark stems from his confidence, whereas Spider-Man is just amazed at the sheer stupidity of his enemies. They kind of snark about different things and/or in different situations.

If you need recommendations for what pieces to check out, I'm more than willing to give some!

@ Cody

Thank you, and nice to meet you!

[Benjamin Strong]

I suppose that is the truth. Haha.

And as for the suggestions, could you PM me them? O:

[Jeremey Knight]

Likewise. :D

Pokémon ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Welcome, Wyndi! I hope you have a great time here at Vault! I considered taking Creative Writing, but the university I did my first two years at only had 2 CW courses built into the English major, and it's too late to jump into the program at my new university (I transferred >,<), since I'm so far into an English Lit degree. But I'm hoping to do an honours thesis in Creative Writing, anyway >.> we'll see how that goes.

[Samara Raillen]

ERMAGHERD GLOMP YOU LIKE BATMAN!!!!!!!!!

Praise Merlin! *huggles to death* I love love love Batman, favorite superhero hands down, favorite everything. Love meeee~~~~~!

Also YOU ARE IN MY LAIR! Vipertooth FTW! ^___^ ALWAYS glad to have someone else in the lair to hang with! We should try our hand at a challenge! :)

Er...*cough* WELCOME. :) I'm Keely. I'm happy to see you. Haha!

EDIT: Oh yeah, and Madeline L'Engle FTW! ^_^b

[Renri Tsukishima]

@ Milly

Good luck! To get technical, I'm not really majoring in creative writing exactly - just English with a creative writing concentration. So it's like extra work on top of the usual English lit degree. OTL

@ Keely

Your impeccable taste in superheroes has made me love you! /cue pink sparkles and hearts.

And we should, shouldn't we? Though those challenges sure seem daunting to me [probably because I've never really been on a forum with a similar system, so I have no idea what I'm doing].

Anyway, pleased to meet you!

[Damian Walhalla]

Heya Wyndi!

Welcome to the Vault! It's good to have you here. :D

My name is Damian, and I'm awesome. I like creative writing, except it's not that easy. I have a creative writing English class, and a 1000 story to hand in soon, and it's driving me nuts. Okay, 1000 words doesn't seem like the end of the world, but I'm French, slow, and uninspired. It has taken years. I hope you do better than I do. :P

Good lucky with the challenges, too, I love them.

So yeah, welcome!

[Renri Tsukishima]

Thank you! ^^

French? May I ask if English is your second language then?

[Damian Walhalla]

You most certainly can! XD Yeah, it is. French is my mother tongue, but I've lived in somewhere they spoke English when I was young, so I learned English in kindergarten. Then I moved back home. :)

[Benjamin Strong]

You most certainly can! XD Yeah, it is. French is my mother tongue, but I've lived in somewhere they spoke English when I was young, so I learned English in kindergarten. Then I moved back home. :)

Quebecy-Frenchy~

(just saying xDD)

[Damian Walhalla]

Oh, yes, right. How did I forget to mention this. XD

Thanks Rob. XDDD

Yes, I'm a Quebecer. :P

[Benjamin Strong]

Oh, yes, right. How did I forget to mention this. XD

Thanks Rob. XDDD

Yes, I'm a Quebecer. :P

... I need to give you a nickname.

[Renri Tsukishima]

You most certainly can! XD Yeah, it is. French is my mother tongue, but I've lived in somewhere they spoke English when I was young, so I learned English in kindergarten. Then I moved back home. :)

Ah, that's pretty impressive then. *w* I had it easier than you - my first language was Cantonese and I started learning English in preschool/kindergarten, but since I was raised in America....Yeah.
