I owe a bunch to .//hack; growing up on the 4game series made me look at MMOs differently. I kept wanting my character to have a compelling story, but...well, you know how MMOs are. It was...gawd, 8 years ago when I was a member on runescape and needed to sell stuff on the forums. It was there where I found the roleplay section. I thought it was like in game stuff and was pretty disappointed to see it was just text. The more I read, the more I found myself wanting to be a part of it with a feeling familiar to the late nights standing in Mac Anu (.hack Infection).

My first attempts were anything but graceful. Posts were smaller than a third of the last paragraph and I often forgot the period at the end of a line of text.  :P
I chalk it all up as a happy accident.
