Greeting to all! My name is Smaug and (as I'm sure you've guess) I'm fan of Chris Wooding's work. Now, if I'm perfectly honest, I've joined this site for a variety of reasons. One, because I’m a fan (obviously!). Two, because this forum strikes as a nice place to chill, talk and exchange ideas. And three, because I’ve started writing a sequel to Broken Sky. Which leads neatly to the next point, I’m also trying to track Chris down. WAIT! Stop! I know what you’re thinking! However, allow me to explain myself. I’m not here to stalk the author (yet…). I’m here because it would nice to talk to one of my last living writing idols -both Tolkien and Gemmell sadly no longer with us. But also to perhaps gain his blessing regarding the sequel and to get his permission. Yes, yes, I’m well aware that fanfiction doesn’t generally need the author’s consent and Chris has even stated he thinks FF is great. But you know what? It just seems like the polite thing to do and, romantic as it sound, it would wonderfully to have that blessing. I tried going through Scholastic, but they were about as much help as a toothpick against a horde of Snappers (if you’ll forgive the nerdy joke -_- . Anyway, I’ll be uploading some art and some pieces of writing as well giving Chris praise and feedback. Now that I've bored you all to death, allow me to say. Hello again and I hope this is the start of a beautiful forum-ship. Smaug

Hello, new person! You're right, this is a great forum. My favourite on the whole internets (no lie!). And this is also the best way to contact Chris. He visits this site occaisionally, so you can PM him, or leave any questions in the 'ask the author questions' thread in General Chat. And now, some WELCOME CAKE!! *Hand out cake slices to all*.

Well, you all know how to make somebody feel welcome. So, let’s all sit down and have some tea and a spiffy reading session of Storm Thief.
Smaug
