C-could I bump in here? Been looking for a few good storytellers to make friends with, share stories and write stuff with.
I'm Singaporean, with a firm grasp of the English language. I've been roleplaying and writing for about ten years or so now. By trade, I'm a registered nurse, so I've seen shit. I've learned the basics of psychology, physiology, pharmacology and a whole bunch of other -ology subjects in school. Plus, since I'm Singaporean, I've served my two years of mandatory enlistment in the Singapore Army as a combat medic.
My loves in the realm of literature are riveting, dramatic stories. Stephen King is my number one idol. John Grisham, Tom Clancy, Kathy Reichs and Raymond E. Feist all come up as close seconds on my fave writers list. My favourite genres are, in no particular order: noir, detective stories, murder mysteries, fictional war or military stories, high fantasy and urban fantasy settings.
Currently I'm writing (well, re-writing) a novel idea I've had in my head for several years and only now starting to get it onto paper. It's an urban fantasy setting, with heavy noir and detective influences.
I'm also the GM for a tabletop campaign amongst a group of my local friends. The campaign and world itself were designed by a good friend of mine, who requested that I write the lore and fluff as well as produce a campaign as an "alpha test" for the game systems. So far, we're about seven months and seven game sessions in, and everyone's having loads of fun.
I'd really love to have a bunch of like-minded individuals to make friends with and talk shop with too.
