  I forgot but where did the term DAZaholic come from?  I know I started the DAZaholic thread, but did I make up that term or is it from elsewhere?

  What a wonderful idea :)

  Well my name, Zeddicuss, is a character in a epic fantasty book series called "The Sword of Truth". I just adore that series and the character called Zeddicuss is the wise old wizard with a good sense of humour, who is a bit cheeky but very brilliant. Actually I am a massive Lord Of The Rings fan as well and my favorite character from that is Gandalf. I guess they are a little alike. When I was just starting to become a content creator I was part way through one of the Sword of Truth books and it just sort of clicked. Whenever I play RPG games with my boyfriend, I always pick the wizard class too lol. Actually I feel so blessed to work in this community and I really love it. I have made so many friends and I love the balance the job brings, being creative one day and the other, crafting with new technology. 

  Cheers, Ava :) :) :)

  Wow I thought that but I did not dare to ask! I'm a fan too of The Sword of Truth" books :)

  I should soon come back to tell why my PA name is my PA name (and why I regret it lol).

  I too am familiar with the "Sword of Truth" series.  Interesting fantasy world.  And I instantly recognized the name Zeddicuss as the wizard from the old world.   I've read, I believe, all of them including "Debt of Bones".

  Arghhh.... I just checked wikipedia and realized I haven't seen any of them newer than 2007.  I thought it was all over after "Confessor".  I've missed 5 books.  Sigh.  Good story but I was relieved when "Confessor" seemed to tie up all the loose ends.  I felt the plot had run its course with the first 12 books.

  Particularly as he felt the need to lecture us. But a very enjoyable series, especially earlier on.

  Yeah, I got a bit tired of the preaching.  And his story telling dragged on and on.  i.e. I'm going to tell you about..., I'm telling you about...,  Now I've told you about ..., I think I'll explain it all again ...  And gawd, I thought they'd NEVER get out of the endless plains with the mud people.  But I think the best place and mental imagery for me, and the best book of the series and when magic in the world really started going wonky was his trip to the Temple of the Winds.

  Mine are boring... LOL
  
  Forum Name - Ann short for Aundrea (which so doesn't fit me - sounds more proper to me somehow and Im sort of silly so Ann suits me more I think LOL) and 0314 the birthday of my oldest/first born. When we first came online I only had one child and when they asked for a username I had 0 clue so that is what I picked and just stuck with it. Later when hubby came online he used the 0314 as well (sort of like our last name ROFL)
  
  PA Name - ARTCollaborations..originally when I started out I started with a couple other people and we collaborated on projects. Our first initials were T, A, and R and I noticed it spelled ART and since we collaborated together we added that and thus ARTCollaborations. When we went separate ways later, I ended up keeping the name as I'd used it the most. Sometimes I think about changing it or picking a new one but I always kinda liked it so I just keep it. Honestly IDK what Id pick anyway. I'm not very good with naming anything LOL
  
  Maybe I should start a contest...give me a new PA name ROFL
