[Bill]

Hi all, /u/Bills25. Just joined reddit a few days back. Reading like 95% fantasy these days. Looking forward to discussing fantasy with you all.

[Laura]

I'm /u/sleeping-pug and I'm more of a lurker than contributor in general. I saw the contenders for this months book of the month and decided to give it a try. I'll also try and update my bookshelf on here soon...

[RuinEleint]

Hey all, I am /u/RuinEleint from r/fantasy. I also frequent the Malazan Empire forums and lurk on Westeros.org

[Phoebe]

/u/hlynn117 checking in for duty. Hiking and fantasy enthusiast on board. I'm pretty active on goodreads and review regularly.

[Olivia]

Hello on reddit I go by /u/vinjii but I'm a lurker, I mostly just read. I'm looking to read more fantasy, so here I am :)

[Emily]

On Reddit I'm /u/mlejoy - I might reply to something on the fantasy page a few times a week - mostly lurk. I'm also from the Malazan forum (bellagrace there) and the Malazan FB group (Emily Lutz).

My favorite fantasy series include Malazan (obviously), Farseer books, and Greatcoats. I frequently have giant differences of opinions than everyone else on things - like I didn't like the new GGK book Children of Earth and Sky, I hate Kruppe and Karsa from Malazan, and I hated both Book of the New Sun and Dark Tower. However, I do enjoy a good discussion about things, even when I'm on the minority end of things.

Feel free to friend me.

[Suncani]

Hi I'm /u/suncani, I've only just started to be more active on the subreddit, I did tend to lurk a bit. I'm trying to read more fantasy after reading 5 sci-fi books in a row and realising I needed something to break them up.

[Andrew]

Hi all--I'm /u/nabokovslovechild but I am not very active on the forum yet as I am finishing up my PhD and use my limited free time to read as much sff as possible. My academic work deals primarily with medieval British literature (Old English), translation, and critical theory but I'm constantly finding ways to integrate speculative fiction into both my research and teaching. Feel free to add me: I'm open to discussion about pretty much anything.

I could say I prefer space operas and epic fantasy but the truth is I'll give anything a chance. I recently finished Richard Kadrey's Sandman Slim urban fantasy series and enjoyed its pulpy fun; before that I bounced between Gene Wolfe, Terry Pratchett, and Guy Gavriel Kay for a bit. I just finished listening to a dramatic re-reading of Richard Howard's Conan short story "The Temple of the Elephant." Today I started N.K. Jemisin's The Fifth Season. Most of my "reading" lately is done through audiobooks so please feel free to recommend any that you've particularly enjoyed.

Some of my current favorite authors are Neil Gaiman, Ann Leckie, R.A. Salvatore, Iain M. Banks, V.E. Schwab, Jim Butcher, Brandon Sanderson, Becky Chambers, and Michael R. Fletcher. And even though you didn't ask here are two recommendations: Chambers' The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet and Fletcher's Beyond Redemption.

[Shelby]

/u/badgerl0ck hurr.

[Chris]

Hi i'm /u/doctortalos on reddit. I tend to come and go. I'll read and comment on everything ever posted for a week and then I disappear for a month . . .

[Charles]

Hi there everyone! I am /u/EccentrycDragon on Reddit, and I mostly like to lurk, read, and upvote. However, I do comment occasionally as well. Oh, and I like the Oxford comma.

[Charles]

Welcome Alex! I'm also a self promotion thread shover. The tribe is growing lol.

[A.J.]

/u/AJNorfield/ here :) Starting author looking to build up a reader base while enjoying the discussions and rarities that are posted in /r/fantasy.

Favorite reads include Dragonriders of Pern, Discworld novels, Temeraire and the occasional recommendation I get.

[Jodie]

Hello! I am /u/baka_neko on Reddit. I rarely post on Reddit or here. I am here to steal books for my never-ending reading list :)
but feel free to add me as a friend.

[VANGLUSS]

Yo. I am /u/Vangluss on Reddit. I usually lurk on Reddit. My favorite genre is fantasy and the new weird. Hallo to all. I am open to being friends with anybody on GR.

[Daniel]

Hey everyone, I'm /u/gorkhatech on reddit. I was on reddit and someone had mentioned Wheel of Time in a comment and I remembered I hadn't finished it, because it wasn't completed. At that point I hadn't read a novel or any fiction in probably 6 years - I think the last book I read was WoT, Crossroads of Twilight. I read plenty of textbooks during that time though. Anyway, I needed a new years resolution so I decided to read. First was to reread and finally finish WoT. Utterly amazing series, my absolute favorite books of all time.

Anyway, I've been a lurker on reddit and just recently started posting on /r/Fantasy . You guys seem like a great bunch of people so I saw the link for the book club and here I am! Add me as a friend on here or reddit!

[Rebekah]

Hi /r/fantasy folks! I'm /u/RKTeller. I just joined Reddit a couple of months ago. I've browsed /r/fantasy enough to know I'm not as well-read as many of you! But, I think it's my place. I love fantasy. I don't have as much time to read as I'd like, but we play D&D (2nd edition) about 2-3 times a month (also not as much as we'd like!).

I mostly browse reddit. When I comment or post, it's usually about my husband's new book, Liefdom: A Tale from Perilisc. I'm trying to get the word out without being too pushy about it. He's been writing for years, and trying to get an agent, and he finally decided to jump into the endeavor of self-publishing. He has an intricate world and a ton of stories to share. I truly believe in his work. It speaks for itself. I'm really excited about it because I can see all the things he has coming up. Watching it unfold from the beginning is going to be thrilling.

[Charles]

Hi Rebekah! Pleasure to meet you! I'm also a big fantasy reader, and a self-pubbed fantasy author. Would love to connect with you and your husband over our common interests. :)

[Joshua]

Joshua - I am looking to create a good friends list of people who read similar books as me. Then I can have wonderful conversations about the books, but sometimes possibly find new books to read. I try to review every book that I read. I am going to try and get in more detail with my reviews.

I love fantasy and I use it as an escape. I tend to /r/kingkillerchronicle and /r/leagueoflegends but I am going to look into /r/fantasy more now!

[Ian]

I am /u/cymric

long time reader of fantasy fiction and recently got back into comicbooks

[Brian]

/u/enigmatism on reddit

[Hannah]

/u/lady-arivanya (did I do it right?) Nice to meet you! I'm new to reddit to be honest, but already frequently spending my time on the /r/fantasy page. So far, I'm just a lurker.

I love to read, across many genres, but fantasy is definately my favourite. Looking at all the posts so far, I have a lot of catching up to do with my books!!

[Jolene]

/u/joleneoflegend here. I'm new here and mostly just a lurker on /r/fantasy, but I'm planning to get more involved! My to read list has grown for the better from this group, for sure!

[Mike]

Hey everyone - I just realized I never introduced myself here. I'm /u/MikeOfThePalace over on reddit.

[MT]

Hello all - i'm thealcomancer on reddit. I've just started a fresh account there that's for fantasy as I'm working on a podcast in that genre and I want to know what other people's views are on the books I read. Don't be a stranger!

[Patrick]

/u/frozen-silver here! Nice to meet you all :)

[Richard]

Hello everyone, I'm /u/rudebandito

I'm currently teaching English over in China and I had been looking for a bookgroup to join. I'm a big fan of reading and discussing, I am a bit of a beginner to fantasy (/r/fantasy led me to discover Robin Hobb who I'm now a huge fan of) but I look forward to discussing the books with you guys.

I'm really into science fiction, literary fiction, horror fiction, and fantasy fiction. I also love music and I'm a big movie buff. I look forward to our discussions!

[Larry]

Hi all. I'm /lketchersid on reddit. Occasional poster over there, former contributor to SFSignal.com before it closed up shop, author of a few books, including a re-read ebook on Tad Williams' Memory, Sorrow and Thorn, among other.

Looking forward to the read along.

[Lauren]

Hi, I'm u/AltheaFarseer and I'm quite new to the sub. I mostly lurk, but I'm planning to do a lot more reading in 2017 so that may change!

[E]

Hey there,
I'm /u/OddnessWeirdness. I have always read mostly fantasy up until the "Everything Is (not that great) Urban Fantasy Now" early-ish 2000s. I've been trying to get back into the genre in the past few years, and have recently read a few really great ones (like the new "Fitz and The Fool"s by Robin Hobb and "Shadowshaper" by Daniel Jose Older).

I rarely comment on r/Fantasy but have been lurking looking for recs for not-the-norm books, especially if they arent $9.99 for the ebook (insert extra sad emoji face here). I'd love to chat about books, so feel free to hit me up here or there. :)

[Raoul]

Hi I'm u/RaoulMiller. I'm new to reddit and goodreads. Still figuring it all out. Seriously, some pointers would be welcome.

[Tim]

I've been meaning to comment in this thread for awhile now but keep forgetting. I'm u/meijihao on reddit, where I comment pretty regularly and lurk even more.

[Esme]

Ive been commenting for a couple months but havent introduced myself.

Im u/esmerelda-weatherwax !!

Your neighborhood discworld fanatic.

[Matt]

Hey, not sure I ever introduced myself here. u/msmart55 on reddit. Mostly lurk r/fantasy and occasionally post. More active here on Goodreads where I like to post simple reviews and read others' reviews and comments. Cheers!

[Jeremy]

Hi everyone, I'm /u/iheart2code. I am a software developer in Silicon Valley and have been fascinated with the fantasy genre since my Dad had me read the Belgariad as a pre-teen.

I don't really do favorites, but if I had to narrow it down, I'd say favorite book series include basically anything by Robin Hobb & Brandon Sanderson, as well as the Lightbringer series by Brent Weeks.

I don't really do book assignments very well, but I'd like to give the monthly reading group a shot to expand my reading selection. I also tend to miss quite a bit on my first read through, so I am hoping I can get a more complete impression of each book through the discussion posts.

I've started Senlin Ascends a few weeks ago and have been loving it. See you all in the discussions threads!

[Ellie]

Hi. My name is Daccari, I love everything related to Fantasy and while I am new to reddit, I'm trying to get as involved as possible. :)

[Zack]

Hello! I am u/zackrocker94 on Reddit. I am fairly new to r/fantasy. As far as reading goes, I mostly read fantasy (of course), science fiction, and horror. I'm currently reading Arm of the Sphinx by Josiah Bancroft, due to the fact that I quickly became obsessed with Senlin Ascends.

[kels]

u/in_pursuit_of over at reddit - I mainly lurk in the book subs, but I do love the chatter that goes on at r/fantasy :)

[David H.]

Hi, I'm [redacted] on Reddit. I'm terrible about keeping up with any kind of book clubs, but I do like reading a lot. Right now I'm attempting to get through the /r/Fantasy bingo challenge--2.5 months to read 10 more books.

[Lisa]

Hi David! Thanks for joining in the bingo challenge and good luck! --lrich1024

[Queenofshadesmar]

Hey hey hey! u/Queenofshadesmar. I just set up this account so I can do the bookclub thing! Goodreads will also be an awesome way to make lists of books I want... that don't disappear and then I forget nearly every book that was on the list.

[S.]

Hi there, u/Striker_Nileson here. Regular lurker, occasional poster here. Been hanging out in r/fantasy for years now, mostly under a different username, and trying to contribute to r/reviewcircle as much as possible. Gotta say, the reddit community is 'cool as ice'. Love it there. Oh, and btw, I like to write fantasy and read pretty much all genres except for heavy romance stuff and thrillers.

[Jada]

Hello all! I'm JadaYvette on reddit. I'm still new, haven't posted yet I just lurk.

Thanks!

[Jeramy]

Hey hey folks!

I'm very glad to have finally gotten off my arse and joined in the fun over here! I'm /u/jeramygobleauthor over on Reddit. I'm an author, composer, husband, and technology nut. Looking forward to taking part in the club!

[Erica]

Hiya! I am /u/TempestDrift. I usually am a lurker/voter on the subreddit and only discuss on things that I know. I am planning on delving into the Fantasy genre as I read mostly sci-fi. I like to see what kind of books that are well loved by the subreddit so I don't waste time on bad novels.

Feel free to add me as a friend if you want.

Thanks!

[MrsPremise]

Hello-- I'm not very active on Reddit, but I make a point to log everything I'm reading here on Goodreads. I followed the /r/Fantasy group to get ideas for new books to read, to encourage me to read at a more regular pace, and to chat with fellow readers. I read a bit of everything, but I seek out fantasy and science fiction the most. Good to meet you all!

[Matthew]

It's been two years since I first commented on here! Times flies...

Anyways, I'm /u/yettibeats on /r/fantasy. From time to time I'll comment, mostly recommending the same books over and over again...*cough* Smiler's Fair *cough*.

Since listening to audiobooks at work I've been able to really get through my tbr list. My reviews are usually short, quick thoughts upon finishing. Cheers!

[Robin]

Hm I don't think I ever did put an introduction here! /u/divinesleeper on reddit, I enjoy fantasy and scifi but also the occasional literary classic novel. Recently got a job that allows me to listen audiobooks so I'll be a bit more active these days :)

[Stephan]

Hi fellow readers! Been on Goodreads a while but only to look up new reads. Now, with Reddit's help I actually am finding friends and enjoy the social aspect a lot! Throw me a friend request if you like :)

I love speculative fiction with a contemporary aspect, (urban) fantasy, scifi and similar.
