The Fitz Fandom discussion

Since none of us know each other really well, (obviously), some people (like Joana) mentioned an "Introduction" thread, so...here goes.

Please DO NOT post very personal info/insults

Hello! My name is Joana I'm from the United States ( CA), I'm kinda old lol I'm almost 20 and I love reading young adult books and I am always open to new book suggestions! I'm very excited to be part of this group!

Wow. I am discussing with an-almost-twenty year old online. Kinda hard to wrap my head around.


Anyway...



Hello! I'm Ramya and I was born in the US (CA) but I've been living in Austin, TX for a few years now. I am twelve and am a seventh grader.

I LOVE middle grade books (Keeper of the Lost Cities/The School For Good and Evil/The Books of Beginning/Fablehaven, etc) but really like (sometimes even love) some YA books (aka The School For Good and Evil/Twilight/Red Queen/Legend, etc)

I love Goodreads and reading, singing/dancing, sports, and life!
(Yeah, I'm an optimist)


And yes, KEEPER is my absolute favorite series of all time, and

Sophitz is my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow... 20!!!!

Hello! I'm Joel ( my real name ) and I was born in Oregon and still live in Oregon. I'm also 12 and a 7th grader. I'm homeschooled as well.....

I love to sing/dance/act and have participated in many musicals including, but not limited to, Tarzan, les miserables, and your a good man Charlie Brown. I live on a farm and have 8 horses, 22 chickens,3 pigs, 4 dogs, 2 cats, and we used to have 2 sheep.

I love to read, but never would have even heard of goodreads if it weren't for keeper of the lost cities, which is obviously my favorite series ever!!! I also like Peter and the starcatchers, Percy Jackson, the Shakespeare stealer trilogy, Michael vey, the land of stories, the unwanteds, the mysterious benidect society, and Gregor the overlander.

I like Charlie Brown (peanuts), stuffed animals, emojis, and FUDGE!!!!

Yup! I started reading young and I never got tired of it... I hope you will all still enjoy reading when you're my age!

Nice to meet all of you by the way

:)

I could never stop reading...
One day, I left my book in my locker for TWO periods, and by the end of the day I had gone completely insane.

ANYWAYS. My name is Amelia, I live in Utah, which is amazing, because we don't have roaches there. (Well, we do, but there WAAAY rarer, so I haven't seen them)

I love reading. Way to much. I finish a book about every 1-3 days, and I once had a teacher threaten to duct-tape my book to the ceiling. 0_0 My favorite book series' are Keeper of the lost cities, The Lunar Chronicles, Wings of Fire, and Half Upon a Time.
I'm also a writer, and I'm currently participating in NanoWriMo.
I also love drawing/painting/art in general, and have drawn about twenty pictures of Tam over the last week because I STILL CAN'T GET IT RIGHT and it's driving me crazy.
Oh, and I'm a huge theater nerd too, Joel. YAY, DRAMA!

Oh, and I'm 14. Eight grade.

Hi I am Malayna. Not allowed to share my age or grade, but I am in school still and it isn't college. I love reading and BLOGGING. I want to be a writer when I grow up and I have a 60,000 word novel on the makings and I hope to finish within next year. Maybe get it published even, but I know it won't be this year or even next year.

I play the clarinet and the piano. I speak English, can decipher Latin, and am learning French. I hate running and you won't believe my mile times!

I just want to take this opportunity to say thanks to everyone here who viewed my blog, iRead. I got 284 views today, and that is more than I ever could have expected. I am going to post later on, in about an hour or so, so I hope to see you there!!! Thanks and please comment.

I love Goodreads btw because I am not allowed to have other types of social media. I am an insane reader and without books, I would probably be dead.

I have four cats, a dog, and a tortoise. I used to have another cat and a dog, but they passed away :( I also had a snake, and she was an amazing pet! Lastly, I also had two fish and a gecko, but they passed away too a while ago.

My fav word is AMAZING. It is just so amazing :)

Thanks!

PS I might have spelling mistakes :( that my phones didn't auto correct.

Glad to meet you all

*waves an imaginary hand to all of you*

I used to HATE reading (like, when I first started-the ages five and six) but I started to LOVE reading when I was 7!!!!!!!

I will always love reading!!!!!!!

So, I actually learned how to read because of a sibling rivalry with my cousin... I fell in love with it as soon as I got past the easy readers.
Fighting my cousin was an impossible battle though. I was on a twelfth grade level in third grade and she was STILL ahead of me. *grumbles*

My running times are also terrible. It usually goes like this:
*Runs first 3 quarters in ten minutes*
*Ankle dies*
*Finishes in fifteen minutes*
And that's when I'm TRYING.

And since we're all naming pets...

I had a pet fish.
It died.
Then I had another one.
It lived for like, 50% longer than that species of fish generally lives in captivity, and then it also died.

Right now, I have a digital Nyan Cat animation. It won't die.

Oh...wow.

Looks like I have a lot in common with you guys!

Anyway, I forgot to mention this, but I LOVE acting-my parents call me a Drama Queen, though it seems to be an inherited trait.

I had two sibling parakeets for about 3 months (when I was seven, I think), but then they flew away (long and VERY complicated story) so...yeah.

BY THE WAY, IT IS AMAZING THAT SOME OF YOU HAVE SO MANY PETS!!!!!!!

Working on getting baby chickens now! (Baby chicken project has been in progress for almost three years!!!! Ugh. I wish I had a pet.)

*sighs*

On top of that, I'm an only child.

*sighs again*

Sometimes, it is WAY to easy to understand Keefe-though I understand Fitz better.

There I go, sharing my life story with almost-strangers.

*sighs at quoting Raxtus from Fablehaven*

*sighs again for no reason*

*sighs*

What is happening to me?

LOL I like your post.

Also, I did forget to mention: I have been in several plays and musicals in my lifetime, and I just finished performing last week (Yes, I did have the most lines, and yes, I was considered the lead *smiles*). I am planning to start another musical this month and I cannot wait!

Also, my mile times SUCK. I get like 11 minute mile times on average, and that is barely passing at my school. :) But I am pretty much OK with it as long as I get good grades.

Oh yeah, not to brag, but I am a straight-a student. Always. I literally have a meltdown if there is a A- on my grade. I am a perfectionist.

Same. My lowest grade in the last grading period was a 100.

*smiles*

Wow. You guys are like copies of myself except older (some) and female. From the theater obsessions, keeper obsessions, exedingly good grades, and perfectionist ways! :-) yeah... I am definetely NOT an only child. I have 5 siblings. And yes I'm the youngest... * releases a sigh to rival Rayma's*

Ramya

It's fine-you have NO IDEA how many people spell my name wrong or pronounce it like, "Romeo!"

OMG IM SO SORRY!!!! And yeah... My name is often pronounced, joe- ell!

Isn't your name pronounced sort of like, "Jole?"

(Except, of course, with a different spelling)

Even as an only child...

Well, I have four cousins (direct cousins), they are ALL boys, two live in a different country, two are younger, two are older.

I am plopped right in the middle-AND I'M THE ONLY GIRL!!!!!!!

Of course, it doesn't make much of a difference anyway-love my cousins-the ones in India are sweet, and the ones in Illinois are, well, they call me annoying AND are smart aleks (just like me)-still love them, though!

Yes. (Rhymes with hole)

ratherbereading wrote: "Yes. (Rhymes with hole)"

Man. I wish I could find a rhyming word to help people pronounce my name.

The best I can do is...

(don't laugh-you probably will, but it's fine if you do)

Roman Noodles.

Yes. People remember my name because of Roman Noodles.

For me, just think of Elena with a "m". SO MANY SUBS HAVE PRONOUNCED MY NAME WRONG :( SO HAVE MY FRIENDS...

Malayna wrote: "For me, just think of Elena with a "m". SO MANY SUBS HAVE PRONOUNCED MY NAME WRONG :( SO HAVE MY FRIENDS..."

Yay! I've been pronouncing your name right!

I have a weird last name that is super easy to pronounce but has a strange spelling. I finally found a super easy way to explain it, but it's kinda... gruesome.
So I'm like, my last name is such and such. Like this incredibly violent word.
And then I just smile.

And HAH.

I have about fifteen younger cousins, and most of them are little girls in lower elemementary/preschool.
(We watched Frozen SO MANY times at our family reunion...)
But I have one that's my age and has similar likes/dislikes to me, so I'm fine. Except for the one fact that her library is lame and she hasn't read Keeper...

I't sounds like your an excellent actress Malayna... I didn't even have any lines in our last school play.
Then againk, our cast had about two hundred kids in it so... yeah.

Wow. I'm not in school theater (I chose Choir over Theater), but I was in a few big musicals (I wasn't able to get REALLY big parts, though, since you had to be, like, twice my age to do that, but I played a LOT of roles [at least a lot for my seven year old self-about four characters]), and in DI (you probably won't know what that is, but don't worry about it) my friends said I was a really good actor. And since a LOT of people call me Drama Queen, I can assume I'm a good actor.

I'm super involved with school theater. Out of my four electives, three of them are with my drama teacher. And I'm on our drama club council. And I go on all the field trips... I like it way to much.

I don't do school theatre..... In fact I'm homeschooled..... I participate in county and state musicals, have soloed with the central Oregon Mastersingers, and have done two musicals with Oregon Opera association. Leads in everything... *shy smile*

Wow. Amazing.

Wish I was that good.

Just...wow.

Thanks. It takes up most of my life but, it's what I love to do!!! ( along with reading)

Omg Joel, you were homeschooled???? I was homeschooled for a while (5 years)!! That is so cool to meet someone else who was homeschooled (or is) :)

I wish I was homeschooled

*sighs*

Actually, knowing my parents...

Nope. I definetely DO NOT want to be homeschooled (my parents have the smarts-they just don't have the "teaching thing" down)

:)

I'm like that too. I suck at explaining things. Also, organization in general.

I JUST RECEIVED MY PRE-ORDER SWAG PACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me too!! I love it!!! I don't even know what to do with the stuff...

Yeah... I love the pictures so much! My friend got one of the Verdi pins and she gave it to me cuz I'm way more obsessed with buttons than she is and I've just been wearing it everywhere because I love it so much...

I used the stickers (portraits, really) of the characters, stuck them to the first blank page, wrote their names, wrote all sorts of stuff on the blank pages, like, I can't wait! and Sophitz!!!!!

Okay... so this is one of my one-in-the-morning theories, which means it's kind of ridiculous adnd nobody should listen to it.

BUT

What if the stickers say how the ships are going to end up?

Because they go like this

Fitz Sophie Keefe Biana
Wylie Dex Lihn Tam

So that could mean Sophitz, Keiana, Dexlihn, or Sodex, Keeflihn, Tambiana.

Personally, I think the second one is more likely, since I seriously doubt the possibility of Keiana at this point. But, all of this is probably meaningless anyway so it doesn't matter.

Well, I think the stickers show the possibilities (names that touch are possibilities):

1) Fitz and Sophie,

OR

Keefe and Sophie,

OR

Dex and Sophie




2) Keefe and Linh

OR

Dex and Linh


3) Tam and Biana

OR

Keefe and Biana






****Notice how Fitz's portrait only touches one girl's portrait?****

Sophie's Portrait :)

Also, here are the Book 6 titles we have come up with so far:


Nightfall

Moonlark

Swan Song

Check out the poll I made for the titles-and since I changed the poll, if you already voted, your answers are cleared. Sorry 'bout that!

Hi, my name is Annalea, I am 17 as of last month. I am in love with the Keepers series and I may be obsessed... I love horses and book, I am not afraid to get dirty, I can go from pearls to dirt in 2 seconds flat and I have 5 dogs. I live in a small town named Auburn ga. I am homeschooled and yeah... idk what else to say

Yay for farm life! Yeah, mud is the best. I don't were pearls( for obvious reasons) but me and my neighbor do like our mud. And yay for lots of dogs! I have four... AND I HAVE 12 horses!! And of course, EVERYBODY is obsessed with keeper. Ooooo and my best friend is from Georgia!

that is so cool and haha i would hope you don't wear pearls.. i wish i had horses, but mom and dad wont let me... me and a friend love keepers and in our email chain people stopped talking to us cuz it was all we talked about, they were prepared to disown us as friends cuz they dont read like we do and i love books and they hate them and i am rambling... sorry 0.0

Yeah... Me and my neighbor, (also known as uninarwhalacorn) do that to in an email chain. Also, duh? Rambling is the best! And totally normal here...

yeah... normal is not the word people use to describe me at all... i am anything but normal... describe a normal teen girl...

One word.


Difficult. (In my experience anyways)

haha yeah, i am that, but most girls "normal" teen girls are skinny jeans and cute shirts, and hair and nails and phone and boy band and things, i am jeans and t-shirt, bare feet and mud, guitar playing and oversize shirts and book obsessed and like tobymac... i am a country christian girl and those are the best, i am saying this to say i am not a "normal" girl i am unique and I love it... rambling again...

I'm jeans and t-shirt too!
