So looking at my own profile I see I joined around Dec 01 which is half a month ago. Some forums around the web do like the users to make a self intro post but normally even if it's not mandatory I hold off. Strangely though here I want to.
I won't be revealing anything personally identifiable since I have some trust issues I'm dealing with; but feel free to comment at me if you do have a Q&A.

Now about some of what I can and will say, I have said either in chapter comments (in my or others' stories) or in PM. So here goes-
I've said I have 35+ stories I am writing, and I am not joking. I counted. And I have also said I can consistently aim for 6k to 8k words per chapter. I know this too; software word count does not lie. I do enjoy a good long read and I hope readers of my works do too. Of those 35, six are currently uploaded here, and a few more on RoyalRoad with my same nickname. Probably will port some or all the rest from there to here someday.
Ultimately I really would like to be called a 'prolific writer'. One of the original writing heroes of my own youth is Isaac Asimov; but it goes on from there and if I started listing them all I will not stop.
As seen by my works ... I do write isekai fantasy worlds, dungeons, scifi, adult and romance and mature content. Some demihumans, monster girls, and other races.
So ... I had one commenter trying to guess my gender and race and age by how I wrote -- it might seem flattering to some, but I don't appreciate it. Don't worry, situation dealt with, it's okay between us. Aside from this, I do find it funny when realistically I do not wish to be so pinned down. I'm more a cultural mimetic than anything; I vary the characterizations on purpose for each story.
Say like for my story "My Wife is a Dungeon Mistress", an inference was because the dungeon mistress was a Hispanic girl in her earthly life (and somehow I wrote it well enough) that a commenter thought I must be Hispanic as well. Sadly no; but I do have an ability to write with the characters' dialects in mind, "hearing" them talk, because I want the reading to be true to style. Trust me, it's happening in every story I am writing; it's even happening as I write this intro. "Me, orc name Torsk, want meat!"
In one tale, a male dwarf speaks in a Welsh English accent: "Wal scratch me hairy balls, what's me da doin here?" In another, (one I'm having fun writing) the girl is a Hindi/Indian office lady so of course I hear her talk in this accent while she narrates her new world adventure maybe even arguing to Shiva. And I differentiate between stories with the same types; a succubus in one story talks all "California girl" while a succubus in another talks with the Aussie territories lingo "let's grab some tucker, mates".
I do not know if I'm the only one who does this, to the extent I sometimes dream what my characters might; but it has certainly been a fun, entertaining, and ultimaty worthwhile time. Learning about places and putting the knowledge into practical use.
Also just for fun, I'll add -- one story is for the "ultimate revenge"; or, "DON'T F WITH ME". A scifi universe interstellar undercover op gets shoved out a hunted pirate's spaceship airlock and feels his own death. But wait it gets better; a goddess gives him some OP cheats and sends him isekai style to a broken world; he's gonna need those cheats. Seems a summoning king did a mass summoning, so it's him plus 5 others who survive the summoning, and he may need their help getting started on revenge in style. But wait it gets better again; he breaks out of the isekai summoning and finds a way back to his space universe *with the cheats too*. Obviously he's gonna find the pirates.... (Also build a harem now in 2 universes plus the goddess is looking a little lonely, but each one has their jealous aspect cranked up to eleven, no wait it's twelve actually. It's one of my most guilty pleasures of writing, and if it ever goes up here it'll have that 'gore warning' on for a crucial reason.)
One of my other unpubbed favs is my rendition of a cultivation story, a la "Bringing the Farm" style but gender flipped. (I have a few chaps of it on RoyalRoad too but may take it down at some point.) in this tale the idea is to put the female into the same male protagonist body and then let her fight her own nature in the tale, her female versus male self and coming to terms with it. Less about cultivation and martial arts than actual crossover to include isekai factors (though she's not isekai'd) and earlier character romance/harem than the original BtF. She also tries to force a new direction than the BtF story and her own copy-paste-edit of the original tale.
Then another is a wizard trainee + 3 others die in a wizard academy spell-training ritual. They collectively are sent to a scifi universe where he still might have some magic. In short order he comes into possession of a derelict hulk of a spaceship he's decided will be "home"; but he needs to fix it and deal with a bloodsucking vampire dominator who's a wealthy overlord type, the first one he might need to kill in his new life.
Okay should probably stop talking and you probably aren't even interested by now. Besides ... "Torsk hungry, feed now-"
