Greetings and Salutations

[Cory]

I wish it had not taken me so long to find this place but I'm glad I finally did. Been reading Katherine Kurtz stories since the late 1970s, though the Deryni remain a favorite.

Major characters I love: King Javan, Camber, Joram, Kelson, Alaric (who could not?).

Minor character who I adore: Ansel. I don't know why but I've also been curious about him. Similarly, Rory and Payne intrigue me.

As for me, I have four cats, one dog, four grown kids, and a husband. I work at home, doing some writing for SF/F sites, especially on superheroes, and writing novels as well.

Great to have you aboard!

Welcome to the Castle!

Welcome, Cory.  It's good that you've joined.
As a writer, I think that you'll like this place!   

[Nezz]

Great to have you here, Cory! And I love having another writer around here.

If you haven't noticed yet already. There is a lot to see and do here. We have a weekly chat with Katherine herself every Sunday evening. And generally on the 1st Sunday of the month that is a Zoom chat Sunday afternoon instead of our regular text based chat.

There are a ton of posts to read, respond to, or even give it a bit of rebirth if it hasn't been used in a while. Lots of chat logs and video logs of past Zooms too.

Welcome aboard. Great to have you here.

Hello and welcome!

I've been a bit absent of late, but I'm one of the administrator/moderator team.

Always glad to see new people join us. We're a friendly, laid-back bunch generally, and we're pretty much always willing to talk about Katherine's writings, cats, dogs, horses, video games, roleplaying games, and near anything else.

Again, welcome!

[Shiral]

Welcome to the Castle, Cory! And I agree, Alaric Morgan is hard to resist!

[DerynifanK]

Welcome, Cory. Happy to have you in the castle. You will find much to enjoy and learn here and a fun, supportive group of people.

Welcome, Cory.  It's good that you've joined.

I love the quality of the examinations of the text. Allows me to dig in deep.

I have fanfic ideas, as I've mentioned, but I'm a little intimidated about playing in someone else's sandbox. But I'm glad to have so many fanfic pieces to dive into!

[Laurna]

Welcome to the Castle, Cory. So far I have enjoyed the topics that you have brought back to the surface and your ideas. Keep it up. and of course we all love reading other fan fic stories. so don't hesitate to write one.

[DoctorM]

 I hope you will write fanfic here, Cory-- we have some very fine writers here, and I've enjoyed reading lots of their stories. I'd very much like to read along with you!

I've always found Ansel enigmatically attractive
