I decided to start an introductions board here, beucase i think it would be easier on the poor newbies if they just follow the big flashing signs, because apparantly these proboards are hard to navigate. but whatever. My name is Kirstine, I'm 14, and I'm The webmistress. I'm a massive stravaganza fan (duh) which was especially cool when Mary Hoffman visted our school, and there were only about 3 of us who had read her books. (shame!) however, i managed to get my friends hooked after that, so it was ok. anyway, I'll post the other intros here, then close the topic on the visitor forum..

Hello!
My name is Jocelyn. I am fifteen years old, an avid reader, and a lover of the Stravaganza books. Not only are the books very enjoyable to read, but it was extremely refreshing to find that the two main characters were both attractive and intellegent! That is not something I find often in fantasy books, and I loved finding it in this one!
I love to write (short stories, poetry, you name it!), take black-and-white photographs (a recent hobby), and someday I would like to try acting.
I do hope that was an adequete introduction! I'm very excited to have found this board!
---Jocelyn

Hello! My name's Julia and i'm fourteen (just). Wow, it's really great to talk to someone who seems to love the Stravaganza books as much as I do. I totally agree with you about the main characters, i wish they'd make a movie because Luciano would have to be sooooooo gorgeous! I totally cannot wait for the third one, it's driving me crazy, imagining what could happening. Hey, I write stories too! I hope you write back, this site is totally cool. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
PS. Thou shalt address us as Duchessa. hmmm, not sure arianna or sylvia ever talked like that, oh well. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox p.s. write back, i'm bored.

Hello
My name is Ann-Kathrin, I am a 16 years old girl from Germany. I've been learning Englisch for six years, but I've problems with grammar and the tenses. :-( I hope that this is no problem for you and you can understand what I mean.
I really like the Stravaganza books because they are written in a fantastic and fascinating style. It's so nice that the reader must not only view the story from outside, because of the style he can be in the characters and feel like them.
I love reading (mostly everything) writing storys and articles, surfing in the internet (chatting, wrtiting in forums, making homepages etc.) and I'm a fan of the German Circus Roncalli.

Ps. Schneekatze is the German word for "Snowcat" and my normal nick in a lot of books ;-)

Hi, I'm Vicky. I'm err, 12 from Australia. I love the Stravaganza books, one of the reasons is because I've been to the wonderful Rome, Italy(Yes, but I still prefer Paris! I'm a very keen reader, an ok drawer, a pretty good writer, and a good student(obviously! !) And well, I hope you all have fun, and I look forward meeting you people, who are WAY older than me! ~Shadow-Queen~

Hello everyone! It's so fun to see all the Stravaganza fans range in age and where they are from. I'm fifteen (though I think I mentioned that already) and live in New Hampshire, USA.

Hi, I'm Rhiannon.
I'm Mary's daughter and a writer myself. She sent me a link to this board so I came to see what it was like. Nice to meet you!
I'm twenty-seven years old and I live in Oxford (England) with two friends and two cats. I enjoy reading, writing, drawing, surfing the net and playing games. Like Hayley, I also like manga style graphic novels and anime films - especially Studio Ghibli.
My favourite character in the Stravaganza books is Falco... and, um, I can't think of anything else to say right now. I'm going to explore the boards and maybe post some more later.
R.

It was called 'Lines in the sand'. It was a collection of poetry and stories which was put together by Mary and Rhiannon. Lots of their writer and illustrator friends contributed their work.

Wow, I'm a dolt! I started introducing myself in the other place. I should have known better. Anyway, now I present my autobiography! I'm Lucy, also. If there are too many mix ups between us then everyone can call me Jane. I'm 15 and from the United States. I've got a strong Scottish heritage and I'm crazy about everything from the UK. Consider me like a rabid Beatlefan wanting to migrate over there to see where most of my favorite bands originated from. I'm into all types of art, music, and literature, so they're a strong part of my life. I love to draw, but now I'm taking up painting. I play the violin, too. Writing is really fun, too, but I'm never satisfied with my work. As you can see, I'm quite a night owl- that's when I write the most. I'm very happy to be a part of this forum and you'll be seeing much more of me! Thanks! ~Lucy
