Hi all, My name is Elise. I live in a small town in the Netherlands. I am reading Orson Scott Card books for a long time now. I started with Zangersmeester (Songmaster). For no specific reason other than that I liked the cover. After that the rest. In the beginning in Dutch but because they are not translating anymore I read them in English now. My favourite is Pastwatch, I even have 2 copies of that one (don't ask). OSC is not a very well known author in the Netherlands. Occasionally, I meet someone who has read Ender's game, but that's about it. Other things to tell....I play percussion in two orchestra's (absolutely not professionally, but for the fun of making music). Another time-consuming hobby is playing board and card games. I think we (my husband and I) have approx. 150 different games and that number strangely still increases.

I like fantasy and science fiction, and Orson Scott Card is my current favorite author. I am one of those rebellious mormons that reads Card instead of Heimerdinger.....
I live in Utah, but my heart is in a compound in the asteroid belt, where little boys go to get their lives ruined.
I am new to Hatrack and , like many, found it through the Alvin Maker series' forwards. It looks like a fun site though, not like other fansites, but an official page. oooooooooo, officialllll.....
Anyway, I like women who appreciate a good joke, a good book, and good man. I enjoy long walks on the beach and NPR. Wait this isn't hotsaints.com!!!!!! (just kidding, i'm not Mormon )
I'm 17, live in Madison Wisconsin and currently working in the Gaming Industry as a writer and content designer.

Hello all. I'm the anomonous Skypager, whom is bad at spelling and all other forms of grammer and refuses to spell check. Huge card fan I am. Seems like a nice community so I thought I'd join.

Hi I just joined up today though I have visited a few times, and I read the essays linked to on the Hatrack Home page pretty often. I am from Delaware. The books I have read that Mr. Card has written are; all of the Ender's Game/Shadow books and novelets, all of the Alvin Maker series, and Enchantment. I have also read his book, How to Write Science Fiction and Fantasy, and I am trying to use it.
Anyhow I finaly couldn't resit any more so I signed up to the forum. Posts: 9 | Registered: Jun 2005

My name is Troy and I'm 27 years old. I keep waiting for adulthood to kick in, but it ain't happening. I live alone in a small apartment where I spend a great deal of time working on my various projects. Art, writing, and lately, music. I like to argue with people on the internet, also. I come across as being pessimistic and curmudgeonly but in fact, deep down, I am nice.

As with everyone else here, I am an avid fan of OSC's writing. Like to write in my spare time, and now that its summer maybe i'll actualy have some of that, and more time for the boards. Seems like a great place and I'm glad to be here.

Made a few post already but WTH, I will give it a go using the above referenced template:
Name: Jared Age: 39 (40 in a few weeks, ouch) Race: 5K Citizenship: USA Personality Type: Laughs a lot, cerebral (not my words either) Favorite subject: Hmm, it has been so long, I will go with Math
Likes: golf, reading, hockey, sci-fi/fantasy, guitar, my family
Dislikes: When people say "aks" instead of "ask", reality TV, movies with nothing but special effects, double bogeys, bad scotch, short video games
Married, one son - 3 months old who is absolutely great (and so is my wife for that matter). I started reading OSC after a friend of mine gave me EG back in 1997. I have read it numerous times since I feel you can get so much more out of books if you re-read them.
Love the quality of posts on this board too. Legitimate discussions without people trying to hide behind their keyboards.

I'm 29 years old, and live in Portland, Oregon. I have a Bachelor's in Theater (Do You Want Fries With That.) Having worked as an office manager and switchboard operator, I'm now primarily employed as the stay-at-home parent of a 2-year-old girl, which is far more challenging. I'm also a semi-amateur writer (I have received compensation for some of my work, but no direct financial compensation.)

That is the thing, I am not sure what 40 is SUPPOSED to look or feel like. In my mind's eye, I am still 24 and I act 24 although when I play ice hockey now, I don't play any where near how I did was I was 24. Posts: 117 | Registered: May 2005

Hockey's a great sport, eh? I'm sure missing the NHL...

The Ender film methinks. News of it is slowly trickling into mainstream media. I’ve seen it mentioned here and there. IGN and Dark Horizons are two sites I can think of off hand.

Aloha. I've been a casual lurker for a while, but a few days ago it occurred me to that my lurking is, like, not casual anymore. And so, it's time to start posting. My name is James, and I am awesome.

Love hockey but I really think the NHL and the NHLPA are shooting themselves in the foot right now.

Ohio would be best, Cleveland Ohio would be better than best but Cincy would be ok too....anywhere, really, but I have family in those places, I could stay with til I pay off these student-related debts and can afford to live on my own.
I would also consider Phoenix, AZ (again, family) but I would really prefer to stay here, if possible. (Although, anyone familiar with NE Ohio right now knows, it is possible, but not too probable).

I'm completely new here. I registered a while ago but haven't had the chance to do anything but lurk.
My name is Carly and I live in Frederick, Maryland. I'm 20 years old and I've been a fan of OSC for half of that time. I currently working full-time and saving to open my own business in Guatemala (The most beautiful country in the world!!).
I never thought it would be possible to be a bigger fan of OSC, but reading the posts from everyone here has done it. I hope to start posting here more if only to be able to get to know OSC and all of his readers better.

Hi. I'm Jake 29 years old. I live outside Los Angeles, CA. I read Ender's Game when I was in high school and loved it. Recently I got back into the Ender books, listening to the audiobooks while commuting to work. I'm really hooked now.
