thanks for that information turtlex :]
i'm gonna go ahead and just browse the site--it's a really neat site
and thanks for the warm welcome Alinda, and welcome back Cort
Hey guys at TheDarkTower.com! I'm a huge dark tower fan, have been ever sine I read the books some 3-4 years ago, for me the greatest fantastical set of books I've ever read. Was really in to Stephen Kings other work beforehand and chanced upon The Gunslinger and was hooked from there.
I've got a Dark Tower related tattoo on my back (my only tattoo) It's the number 19 with the words 'A stone, a rose, a door...' directly underneath, I plan on getting a rose with a solar system above this to complete the piece when I can pluck up the courage and have the required funds. I looks forward to getting involved in all the discussion and banter on the forum.
Thanks, Sam (uncle_whoopass)
Hey Sam, great to meet you. We have an amazing Dark Tower Tattoo thread. Hopefully you can get a pic of yours and post it out there so we can see.

summer is out over here in the UK) I'll try and get a decent quality picture of it up, and thanks for the welcome Matt!
How did you discover the Dark Tower?
I've been a fan of SK since I was 14. But never bothered reading the DT series until about a year ago. The reason I started reading it was because of all the connections it had with his other books. I love the series very much and actually just finished it a while ago. I read the first 6 several times before I eventually read the last one, I didn't want the adventure to end.
Who is your favorite character?
Susannah.
What is your favorite book?
My favorite is Wizard and Glass.
How old are you?
27
Where are you from?
CA
Do you have a nickname?
No.
Hi Rosenrot, and welcome to the site. I agree with not wanting the adventure to end, I know exactly what you mean. I myself didn't read the DT books until after I'd read everything he'd written until then, but I think that's a good thing, because it helps you catch so many more cross references.
Anyways, I won't talk your ear off, but welcome, and I hope you enjoy the site. Any questions, feel free to ask, either here or by PM. We also have a fantastic staff, who will be happy to welcome you and help you familiarize yourself with the site.
Welcome!

Welcome to the site Rose, great to meet you.

welcome to the site Rose and Robert!
and awesome tattoo uncle_whoopass
How did you discover the Dark Tower?
A friend of a friend recommended them...haven't looked back since!!
Who is your favorite charcter?
Oy and Cuthbert both very cute and very very funny! But my ultimate fave has to be Roland, I think I might be in love!!He's such a great character, everything about him is refined!
What is your favorite book?
I'm only on Wizard and Glass so all this might change in due time...I love The Gunslinger for introducing Roland and setting the story off (I'm amazed at how hurt he got during the fight in Tull .. knowing now that he's a badass!!) But I really really love W & G I've almost finished it in only a few days (impressive for me, I usually like to take my time and really soak in the story) I just cant put the book down!! It's so great to read about the young Roland and his friend Bert and Al.
How old are you?
I'm 22..
Where are you from?
Scotland, UK
Do you have a nickname?
I have many (..Halo is the name of my dog though!) I'm only 5'2" so all my nicknames point out that I'm small!
welcome Halo!

1. If a thread title says "Spoilers!" and is marked with a yellow radioactive sign, don't go there.
2. If you see a spoiler boxSpoiler:, don't open it
3. Stay away from those forums in the Baronies section that are dedicated to the books you haven't read yet.
4. If, in spite of all this, you still see an unmarked spoiler in spoiler-unmarked thread in a section other than the Baronies, tell me and I will tear the spoilerer's head off. It doesn't often happen, though.

Dark Tower themed novels
I am big fan of the Dark Tower series and love the way that Stephen King perfected the multi-world/apocalyptic genre. My name is Vince Jones and I have been inspired by the Dark Tower series to write a multi-world themed novel of my own called "Electronica". The specifics of the novel will be released as it nears completion. You will be able to find the novel on lulu.com under author Vince Jones, title "Electronica". It will be over 800 pages and reasonably priced. For any other aspiring authors who write stories based in multiple world environments and/or apocalyptic situation, please post here. I really enjoy reading about these themes and I am sure many other people are too. We can create our own worlds ,loosely based on the general themes in the Dark Tower, without infringing on Stephen King's copyright by duplicating his works in any way. Not being inspired by the greatest series of books in modern times and creating others like it is a crime.
Welcome. I hope you decide to stay and really contribute. It is kind of bad form to show up on a free forum like this and advertise something.
It would be nice if you stuck around and joined the community as opposed to trying to sell us something. Very close to SPAM.

WELCOME...and DO stick around!
