    Best Fantasy Game or Film Soundtracks?

    Anything with Jeremy Soule is automatic, hence the awesome that is Skyrim and the Guild Wars 2 soundtrack. For films, there are so many, everyone has already hit the perenial favorites - Star Wars, LoTR, Pirates. But you've forgotten one of the greatest film trilogies ever made - Back to...

    Diablo III

    I've never played any of the D series, although I have looked at D2 a couple of times. From everything I've been able to find through research, however, D2 was received with nearly as much criticism as D3 until the expansion came out - at which point D2 became that game that everyone remembers...

    Fanfiction: Good or Bad??

    When it's used to help you get through a rut because you can't drag yourself back to your original piece that you've been working on, or perhaps the writer is showing their devotion to a certain set of characters, or hell if you're trying to get into an established series with multiple authors...

    Luck as a plot device

    Perhaps it's the imminent arrival of Halo 4 that's causing me to reflect on this, but I've always thought of dabbling with 'luck' as an almost physical trait for a protagonist (or even an antagonist, how cool would that be?). For those of you that follow the Halo universe, when you look into...

    Guild Wars 2

    Another game I can't wait to jump back into when I get home! Got a chance to play it for a day or two while I was home on leave and loved it. I've always played a Tank class in every other MMO, but this time around I went with the Engineer - too much fun! I forget which server I'm on...

    Skyrim Races vs Archetypes

    Yeah, when I left my Nord last year he was wandering around Skyrim with a fully upgraded set of Daedric Armor and a giant 2H Daedric battle axe. And he tended to shout fire at people, or simply throw it at them (could 3 or 4-shot some of the weaker dragons too >=) ). I'm curious to see, with...

    Hello everyone!

    Thanks to both of you, but it's just Stark :) And they'll be as long as they must be, right now chapters are averaging 2500 words per, so we'll see what they turn into!

    Your Preferred Sub-Genre

    Wow... I had no idea the fantasy genre was broken down quite so much. Like a lot of people here I can't place myself really into any single genre. A lot of what I write tends to spill out all over the place, and I think that gives the whole story a better feel - more 3 dimensional if you will...

    Ethuria

    This portfolio will, for the most part, be a place to put up items from a story series I'm developing in the world of Ethuria. Comments, questions, and criticism is always enjoyed and appreciated! Have fun! -L. Stark

    Ethuria World Building

    The title describes it all... these are my notes on the fantasy world of Ethuria (such as they exist right now). Man – The most prolific and short-lived of races in Ethuria, man is in constant turmoil with itself and with other races. Man’s history with the other races of Ethuria has been...

    Skyrim Races vs Archetypes

    Favorite Game of Thrones Characters

    I need to throw my Tyrion, Jon Snow, and Arya on top of everybody else's pile. In both the books and the show I'm always waiting for their stories to come out! Jon and Arya are the only two of the Stark (well, half-Stark for Jon) bloodline that are worthwhile. Couldn't care about Sansa, I...

    How do you design your main characters?

    This one'll throw some of you for a loop... A lot of my characters come out of music. I'm listening to a song or a musical arrangement on my headphones and BAM! A scene starts to take place in my head. It's fuzzy at first, the edges aren't clear, but I know round about what I want to happen...
