My favorite novel/read
Most of Pratchett's Discworld books because most of his characters, even his villains, jump right out of the pages, and the Discworld is so weirdly awesome! I re-read them so much I've destroyed most of the paperback editions I bought of the series, and bought them again.
Things I love
My family, my friends, my brown Golden-Doodle Mia, my town, my fire hazard of a PC and my shit-box of a car. These last two deserve some love for all the crap I put them through.
What I write
I'm working on an Isekai/Otherworld story set in a classic, Medieval-ish Fantasy RPG-like world called Nevariel. I've titled the project Chronicles of Nevariel : Records of the Black King's Wars. It's going to follow an old wargames and RPG nerd named Charles, who is Isekai'd into Nevariel and reborn in the body of a long sealed Dark Lord of Legend, Ahriman Anastasias, who has just been found and un-sealed by a very curious, and overly cute, half-elf Archeologist.
Now, Charles is effectively immortal, like he can get his head chopped off and it gets magicked back into place in short order, but the "dark-lord-ness" in his new body is long gone for the most part, so he's not particularly powerful otherwise, in fact, he can't use magic at all, and can't get healed with magic (his regen only kicks in for lethal damage), and people who find out he's supposed to be the reborn Dark Lord often don't believe it. Now, despite wanting nothing more than be left alone and explore this brave new world, he gets roped into the affairs of the kingdom he's in, and he ends up taking part in a rebellion against the reigning despot, helping topple him over, and for his trouble, gets placed upon the throne since apparently no one better was around. His problems continue on from there, like, most of the continent decides at one point or another that fighting the Black King of Arkaydia and his rag tag Legions is what is in vogue right now and want in on the action.
I guess this would be a Country/Kingdom/Empire building story. War and Adventure also apply. I'm trying to get my stuff together an start posting this here and at other places soon. Do let me know if this sounds interesting, and if you got any questions or comment on it, I'll be happy to address them.
That's about it I guess. Glad to be here!
