ABOUT US AS A COMMUNITY
The Enchanted Element is a diverse group of people that come together with a common interest, the love of Science Fiction, Fantasy and the Paranormal. It is a community that forms under one umbrella to further their understanding and learn from each other . As a result of this experience, many good friendships have been formed.
ABOUT THE CONTENT
We are a Science Fiction, Fantasy and Paranormal fan site. Anything having to do with these genres, will be found within these boards. Anything from TV, Movies, Literature, Games, Speculative Fiction, Creative Arts, Paranormal, to RPGing. We even have a General Area for those who wish to expand beyond the horizon of these genres.
ABOUT THE HISTORY
A couple years ago, I was a member of several sites. I was new to the whole computer world, so it was all so exciting to me. However, after awhile, it became time consuming to balance my personal life between all the sites. So I had to make a decision. I decided that I would make a sort of One stop community. A place for all things scifi and fantasy.
I signed up for Proboards and got myself a forum. I soon began to learn everything I could about how to build it, maintain it and advertise it. I learned coding, even took several online tutorials. Bought myself a photo shop and began making my own designs. Soon, I was creating one design after another till you see the one before you. I have to admit, I personally think I got better as I went.
Along the journey, I found that many of the topics and content delved into the paranormal world. So, I decided that I would add the Paranormal Portal. It really made the Enchanted Element stand out among the other scifi fantasy forums found on the net.
The Enchanted Element really is the best of its kind on the net.
ABOUT THE STAFF
ADMINISTRATION - Enchant
Welcome to the Enchanted Element. I am the admin of this wonderful community. But, I am not just the admin, I am an active member as well. I believe that an admin has to be a member in order to maintain a happy community. They have to be willing to give of themselves. Because of this belief, I have an open door policy for anyone who wishes to pm a staff member to include myself.
I enjoy the many in depth discussions throughout the community and I like to think that I have maintained an open mind. I believe in the right to personal choices and although, I do not discuss my person religious beliefs, I do enjoy discussing all faiths.
I love to watch movies, TV and I read alot. I also love to write, but admit that I am not the best at it, I just find it fun and at times therapeutic. As you might have guessed, Science Fiction, Fantasy and the Paranormal are more then a curiosity or hobby for me, its more of a passion. Sometimes, I have been accused of being a geek, a title I hold with pride. Everyone should be so lucky to have a little geek in them.
As for my personal life, I am 37 years old, a mother of two and a wife to the same man going on 18 years. I have been in the military, was a private investigator, have had several in between jobs, and have traveled the world. I have two dogs, a normal chihuahua and a teacup chihuahua and a cat. I live out in the middle of nowhere, so I spend a good amount of time online.
I am sure as you become an active member we will learn more about each other. I look forward to getting to know you better. Have many returns and Happy Posting.
GLOBAL MODERATOR - Mistress Rell
Bright Blesseings and Welcome!This is the greeting I offer you in your introduction post, and I offer it to you now.
I am Mistress Rell, Global Moderator for The Enchanted Element. Like you, I came I came to this site out of curiosity several years ago and have never looked back. I think I'm the oldest member on the board, but I'm still learning so forgive me if I post something that doesn't sound right.
I am a Pagan by heart, and a Wiccan by choice. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to pm me about them.
I love to write. Apart from my family it's my main passion in life. I am working on becoming a published writer, and because the members of EE are so special to me, I post my finished work here first before sending it out.
I also have the responsibility of up keeping the EE MySpace page. If you wish to be on our friends list, by all means, add us. Unfortunately, due to the fact I have a limited amount of time online (dial up) I cannot personally add people.
I hope you enjoy yourself. We endeavor to bring you fresh and interesting topics to discuss.
MODERATOR - Weird Rob 87
I am Robert McClelland, I come from Muskogee, Oklahoma and I am 20 years old. I have been a member of this forum for possibly a year or more. I have gone through quite a few names on here and they have all been quite creative. Creativity I feel is a part of me and I am forever grateful for it. I do consider myself to be a bit of a nerd/geek kinda person as well. I like to read comics, manga, other kinds of books, I like to watch tv, movies, and anime. I also love to write stories, occasional poems, as well as the occasional lyrics. Although sometimes the lyrics aren't all that great. You can find most of my writing material on this great site! I am an easy going person to get along with, although I can be rather slow at times. Also I am currently going under the name Weird Rob 87.
