Hello, from Loremaster88

Greetings everyone! Just wanted to give a quick introduction before jumping in on the rest of the forums. I am a 31 year old from rural Indiana, and have spent most of my life writing. My forte is mainly fantasy and science fiction, as I enjoy creating new worlds and interesting people to populate them. I plan on posting some work in the coming days for critique, and I look forward to hearing from you all! Have a great day!

 

Welcome! I'm Iain, one of the mods here. If you haven't had a chance to yet, be sure to check out New Member Quick Start and Forum Rules, anId don't be shy about contacting me or one of the other mods (jannert, big soft moose, minstrel, and EFMingo) if you have any questions or problems.

You'll need to have two weeks' membership, twenty posts (which include two constructive critiques of others' writing) before you can post in the Workshop for critique of your own work, but until then, feel free to poke around and jump into any one of the numerous discussions that are ongoing here. Those initial requirements will fly by.

When I picture rural Indiana, I picture Stranger Things. However, when I picture my childhood, I also picture Stranger Things. All the main cast in that series were born in 1971, same as me, roughly the same socioeconomic class as I was, and I owned most of the same Ral Partha miniatures they did. It was a good time and place to be alive I figure, and nothing about growing up in the midwest stops us from feeling the pull of fantasy and science fiction. Good soil for it, IMO.

Anyway, welcome aboard and I look forward to seeing you around.

 

Thank you for the warm welcome! I definitely look forward to participating and taking advantage of what this community has to offer!
I've not yet found the time to actually watch Stranger Things, but from what I've heard of it, I think enjoy it quite a bit.

 

Thank you! I've been branching out in a way myself. My latest story, while still a sci-fi, includes elements of the horror and thriller genres, while also being set in the modern day, which is new for me. Good luck with your story!
