How Did You Find SF?
Mods.:: I searched and didn't see one like this, and went through 3 pages and nothing so I hope this is ok .
Everybody Else.:: This is where we can write our story about how we stumbled across SF. I actually had finished reading Eldest and I remember when I was like 10 I did Artemis Fowl Confidential (which I left) and hadn't been on a forum since. So I was kind of looking around, "Eragon Forums" etc. And eventually some how (I can't even remember it was really odd) I found "SaphiraForums For Sale!" So I clicked it and then googled SaphiraForums. AND WHA LA! Here I am

Re: How Did You Find SF?
Since I was, and still am, hooked on the Inheritance Cycle I just started randomly typing in key words like "Eragon" into google and this site came up one time with a bunch of others. I actually waited a few months to join because I was so busy with everything else. And here I am today!! I joined about four days ago and I love it!

I was on Alagaisia.com and saw the link. It had the coolest name (and easiest to pronounce lol) so I joined. It was also the smallest I think so it was easiest to fit into.

I saw the link to alagaesia.com in the back cover of Eragon, and I picked the link to SF because it had the coolest name This was before I even had the Internet, I did it at school and posted for about a year from there lol.

Re: How Did You Find SF?
I was looking at Inheritance related stuff on google and SF kept coming up. A few months later I was like "I'm going to join a forum." So for a few minutes I was deciding if I should join SF or Inheritance Forums. I guess I chose the right one

Re: How Did You Find SF?
I was looking for information on the Eragon movie at the time, hoping to find a picture of Saphira. I stumbled on this site which had the latest news without all the confusion of Shurtugal.com . I grew to love this site and when offered a RPG team membership I couldn't refuse. Since then I've grown far too attached to this site

Come on, someone has to have a bizarre story!
*Sigh* Fine .... the truth is Louis was in Kempsey for the NSW modelling admiration award for his sister. I happened to be there because I have alot of modelling experience and I walked past but accidently knocked Louis's danish onto the floor. I picked it up for him and he took a bite and then started rapping and telling me that I looked like an "SFer". I ran away but he chased me down the lane throwing websites at me and yeah ... now I'm here I guess.

Re: How Did You Find SF?
lol I made a topic like this and it had gone for about three pages when it was merged with another one like it. so three people have now made this topic. lol whatever though.
well first I saw commercials on the movie and found out it was a book. I said, "that looks pretty cool." a few weeks later I bought the book. I read it. on the back cover it had the website to it, alagaesia.com. so then I looked through it and went to related sites or something like that. I clicked on inheritance forums and thought it might be cool to join a forum. looked for it another day, but I couldn't remember what it was called. I accidentally clicked on SaphiraForums. thinking it was the same one I had seen the other day, I joined. a few months later I found out it wasn't, but I didn't care. I liked SF. now, I'm very glad I made that mistake. lol.
I found it after reading Eragon. I was searching for information about his next book and came across this site. I posted like 10 posts and left for like 8 months. One day I came back because I was bored and here I am. Very glad I came back.

That's exactly what I say too. It's weird what can come from such a little choice. It was almost 2 years before I read the books.

You know... I don't even remember how I found myself here... (I know, horrible memory) Although, I do believe it had something to do with me being so obsessed with the inheritance cycle that I went on google and kept searching things related to Eragon and Saphira.
