A Fearfully Fun Introduction

Welcome, all!

I suppose it's only fitting that my first blog post here should be on All Hallow's Eve; after all, I'm an October kid, and so Halloween has always been my favorite holiday. For those who don't know me, I'm James, though I also go by several pseudonyms -- you may have seen me on other blogs, message boards, or miscellaneous websites as "IamErik771," "JokesOnYou771," "DarkMark771," "NapoleonOfCrime771," "LordAndMaster771," or some other username that includes that number at the end. As you can see, I also tend to side with the villains or antiheroes rather than the good guys in most fictional works.

Anyway, I thought I'd start this blog as a place where I could talk about all manner of things that interest me. I have quite a number of interests, as well; I'm into a wide variety of media from books to films, from musicals to online reviews. I'm a Tolkienite, Trekker, Troper, Holmesian, Whovian, Batfan, Marvelite, Potterite, Sondheimite, Phantom Phan, Mizzie, Jekkie, Nostalgia Junkie, and many, many other things. (If you're not sure what some of those are, feel free to ask!)

I suppose you could consider this blog a continuation of my old Livejournal (which likely won't be updated anymore, except perhaps with a link to this blog). Also, I've got another Blogspot specifically for posts related to The Phantom of the Opera (novel, musicals, films, and other versions) here. Those links might give you some idea of the fanboy I am, but if not, stay tuned for my future posts here! I look forward to meeting and chatting with some awesome new people, and also perhaps finding some old friends here.

Have an awesome Halloween!
