Introduce yourself

**magzmonstar** · 01-02-2010 08:12 PM

Hello.

How did you discover the Dark Tower?
Well, I became a huge SK fan after reading It and promptly began to read all of his published works in order. I worked my way to The Gunslinger and became hooked after realizing that most of his books are in some way related to TDT.

Who is your favorite charcter?
The Man in Black. <3
After reading The Stand, it's nearly impossible to not fall in love with dear old Flagg.

What is your favorite book?
I've only just finished Wizard and Glass, and by far I'd have to say the former when concerning TDT series. In all Stephen King books, I'd say The Stand.

How old are you?
15. I've had a love of literature ever since I learned how to read.

Where are you from?
Edinburg, Texas. That's wayyyy down south at the very tip of Texas, about fifteen minutes away from MX.

do you have a nickname?
My name is Maggie, people call me Magz, Magginator, Maglet. Online i prefer Magzmonstar, I have a Coheed and Cambria obsession you see.

Welcome to the site, it is really cool to meet you.

Hello all you new folken, welcome to the site.

**futuramaguy07** · 01-03-2010 10:28 AM

How did you discover the Dark Tower? - The books or the site? Well, to be fair, the answer to both of these is fairly similar. I am a huge fan of fantasy novels, with my favorite author in that genre being Terry Brooks. I belong to a forum for his works, and was told to read The Dark Tower when I was looking for other fantasy type stuff since I have read all of his novels. I then joined the official Stephen King site and disliked the massive amount of moderation (closed on weekends/every message needs approval) so I asked on the Brooks site for a better site, and was directed here.

Who is your favorite charcter? I am currently reading the novels, (currently on Wizard and Glass) and must say that so far I really like the way Susan is being developed.

What is your favorite book? I'm not all that far into W&G, but right now I would say The Waste Lands is my favorite.

How old are you? 20 years old, turning 21 in about a month.

Where are you from? From Michigan, near Lansing. Currently go to college in Sault Sainte Marie, MI at LSSU.

do you have a nickname? Big John, I'm 6'4" and although I wouldn't call myself fat, I am by no means a toothpick. I think the nickname fits.

Anyone that plays xbox live, feel free to add me (Buckskin07)

I'm working on a Parks and Recreation Bachelor's Degree, Natural Resource Technology Associates, as well as an Accounting Minor.

Hey everyone!

How did you discover the Dark Tower?
My first Stephen King book was IT and I was about 15/16. I didn't decide until last year that I was going to try and buy all of his books and those of another author. So I decided to start off with the dark tower series!

Who is your favorite character?
I do like all of them but it has to be Roland for me

What is your favorite book?
Wizard and Glass.

How old are you?
23

Where are you from?
Norfolk, England. On the map its the bit what I like to call the bum of Britain! Could be a good thing or a bad thing hehe

do you have a nickname?
No, I use Savvy as a name on forums and games. I just like the way Jack Sparrow says it really.

**Noel Andrew Harron** · 01-04-2010 10:23 AM

Hello there, my name's Noel, hailing from London, Northern Ireland originally.

How did you discover the Dark Tower? My friend Stevie introduced me to this epic, and once read, and read again a slight obsession has emerged, now I'm getting myself through the rest of his works to see the connections and the amount this huge story has affected his writing!

Who is your favorite charcter? Such a hard one, so many, I'd have to say Susannah, not only does she kick some serious ass, her journey, apart from Roland's naturally, is the one with the most twist and turns, plus you never really know who you're gonna get!

What is your favorite book?
Wizard and Glass, beautiful and sad, just a fantastic story, it really opens us to Roland's emotional conditioning and shows us just the beginning of the man we now know and love.

How old are you? 26

Where are you from? Lisburn in Northern Ireland was where I was born but I live in London, Wimbledon to be exact

do you have a nickname?
Most people call me Noelly.

Welcome, new one's

Welcome!

**ka_8_tet** · 01-05-2010 04:40 PM

Hello! I am new to this site. Just signed up today, but I have been 'reading' it for about two weeks.

I am a die-hard Lost fan, and since the end of Season 5, I felt quite 'lost' myself. I was browsing Netflix, and found SK's "Hearts in Atlantis" movie, (which was not completely true to the book), and watched it. The book was so much richer!

Well, to make a long story straight, I signed up on the SK web site, and discovered this fantastic series of books!!! I did a search on Amazon, and other sites, in order to find all seven of the books. It was harder to find them all than one might think!

As soon as they arrived, about three weeks ago, I dug right in. I have finished all but the last few pages of "Song of Susannnah", and can't wait to start the last book in the series, "The Dark Tower".

I love SK's writing. He has a wonderfully complex way of pulling the reader into the book, and more particularly into the personna of the characters. He is the King of Character Development, imo.

Initially, I liked SOS up until SK wrote himself into the storyline. To tell the truth, I thought it was a little cheesy. However, I will wait until I finish all of the books, to clarify my opinion of SOS.

I love all of the characters, but Jake and Oy, are my favorites. I accidently stumbled onto a post in the SOS section, where somebody gave away a very sad spoiler, which was not marked as a spoiler, regarding Jake, and I almost cried!

I am looking forward to talking to all of you, and exchanging your opinions, and ideas! The books are so thorough, and complex, that input from other fans is greatly welcomed.

Hopefully, I want to collect all of this series in hardback, as well as buy the audio C.D.'s.

I was saddened to learn that J.J. Abrams, though owning the rights to produce "The Dark Tower" series, will not be doing so. I suppose it is for the best, since I doubt that it would be possible, because of complexity, and other things. I say this because I am a big fan of J.R.R. Tolkien's books, and after seeing the ending of the trilogy in movie form, I was extremely unhappy with the 'altered' ending.

I want to watch movies which remain true to the author of the books. Not movies in which the director decides he does not want to follow the story as written, as did Jackson. Don't get me wrong, I like Liv Tyler, but come on,...that was not the way the books ended, as per Tolkien. Oh well...

This site is really exceptional! Thanks to all of you who maintain it,..it looks like a ton of work, but I know it is greatly appreciated! In this case, as with most things,..."All things serve the beam!"
