Hello. I am a veteran of a Lord of the Rings role-playing forum, and do a lot of writing both in my job (scientific/legal) and for fun. I am really better at poetry, being a perfectionist at heart.
Much of my writing takes place in a vaguely medieval European or Japanese setting; depends on my mood. I sometimes incorporate more modern technologies, such as trains and firearms, as rare and precious items from a faraway advanced society, or as relics of a more enlightened past. Above all I think fiction should provide some insight into humanity itself, and I try to bring that into my (half-finished) stories.
Other than that; I am a chemical engineer, scholar of most kinds of history, dabbler in hockey, chess, and other stuff.
Post-Script: The Machiavel forum looks like a dream, but quite a lot to read up on, and I am not too sure if I will have the time to keep up. If anyone could provide some counsel on that, I would be appreciative.
