![]() Hi, I am not usually one to write my thoughts down online, but I decided that since I have been a member for so long that I should at least put something of an introduction to myself here. I really enjoy reading various Fanfiction stories in my spare time. I also enjoy reading original works with the genres ranging from fantasy/sci-fi to mystery novels among a myriad of other genres. I also enjoy playing action roguelike games in my spare time. My most recent one being Nova Drift and Time Wasters. I also really like RPGs but have not played recently due to how much of a time commitment they are. Some authors who have written books I enjoy are: Patricia Wrede, Tamora Pierce, Tolkien, J.K Rowling, Diana Wyane Jones, Orson Scott Card, Mary Stewart, Issac Asimov, and Dr. Seuss. I also enjoy taking hikes or just appreciating the natural world of wind grass and streams. In addition, I really enjoy meeting new people and learning about their customs and history. One of the most central aspects of my character is that I live in the moment and prefer to focus on what is happening at this moment in time rather than dwell on what is already gone or overthinking where the future may lead. I often have wished that I was more certain on where my life may lead and having a solid plan on my next few years of life; I have felt wishful at times when I have seen the people around me having such a solid sense of where their lives will lead them. I have more recently found a bit more of a sense of a foundation and am satisfied with where I am at in life. One final thought before signing off. I was first introduced to the realm of fan spawned works of fiction many years ago. Ever since that time I have read hundreds of different stories written by kids, young adults and even by the more elderly, ranging from religious, adventure, romance, political, and even stories of sadness. These stories have ranged from a few thousand words to many hundreds of thousands of words. What captures my attention most is that through these stories I am able to get a different sense of the world and the people within them by the words they write. Even though they are centered on a work already written each one is flavored in some unique manner by the one writing the tale. This is the single strongest reason I am so fascinated by these stories. I hope you have gained something from reading this expression of myself. |
