Hello-

Just joined, looking to gather readers and feedback for a series I've been working on for about a year and a half.

I like to read sci-fi and fantasy, but I lean more toward stories that play with convention. I write only in fantasy right now, aiming for that same mix—think Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett set loose on psychological character excavation plus magic.

Hello everyone! I'm new to this place. I've started writing after a few years of going cold turkey with it.

You can call me Prime! I'm into sci-fi, metal, rpgs, and cats. My main inspiration was War of the World and, crazy enough, The Count of Montecristo. I'm currently enamored with The Windup Girl and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?.

I hope I meet new authors, learn from them, and be able to share in this noble art called writing.

Hello Everyone!

I’m new to authoring and still very amateur, but you can call me Midnight.

By day I’m an electrical engineer, and while I have a lot of hobbies and interests, anything power related tends to send me off on a tangent (get it, tangent? *slaps knee*). When I’m not buried in circuits, I’m usually diving into Lord of the Rings, Gundam, or anything in the thriller, psychological, or horror. My first amateur book happens to be a thriller/psychological story.

I read a lot of sci-fi and fantasy too. I joined the level-up and LitRPG bandwagon after discovering Dungeon Crawler Carl a few years back, and I’m glad to see Matt Dinniman finally getting the recognition he deserves! I’m also a huge fan of John Scalzi, from the Dispatcher series to The Kaiju Preservation Society. Honestly, I could talk about books like this all day.

I’m excited to be here, to share my writing journey, and to connect with fellow readers and writers.

Hello, everyone! Just joined yesterday, but I now have time to actually introduce myself.

Name's... well, just call me by username, or just Empal. :cool:

I work as a network engineer by day and I write and draw by night. Grew up reading Wuxia stories, especially the Condor Trilogy, so I tend to be attracted toward martial arts genre. I'm also into anime/manga and tokusatsu hero shows.

I hope I can fit in here. Thank you for having me. :blob_wink:
