Name: Kat Class: Author; Warlock Level: 31 Race: Forest-dwelling troll from the wilds of Canada Hi everyone! I'm Kat. I'm an indie author currently publishing two series, one epic fantasy and one portal fantasy. I'd heard the term LitRPG being bandied about in various author circles online for a while but didn't really know what it was about. Did some research, which led me here, and also made me realize: oh, yeah, I've totally read/watched LitRPG stuff before and I love it. Also made me realize that at least one of the few fanfics I ever started writing was actually LitRPG/GameLit. (It was a story about an OC who had gotten stuck in a virtual reality game where you could play in any fandom you wanted -- but the mainframe was breaking down and the fandoms were bleeding into each other, so she was stuck dressed as Ayla from Chrono Trigger in the forests of Mirkwood with all their giant spiders. It was very bad, but I have fond memories of working on it.) Anyway, a bit about me. I live in BC with my husband, a cave-dwelling ogre. I've been playing video games for most of my life. I've attempted tabletop RPGs twice before but can never seem to get a steady group going. I'm a big reader, love watching movies and good TV shows, HATE TV commercials, and I enjoy knitting and crocheting (post-apocalypse survival skills!). I'm hoping at some point to start writing in the genre of LitRPG/GameLit, but for now I'm trying to focus on finishing up at least one of my series and the various WIPs I have. So I'm trying to ignore the OOOH, SHINY of it, slow down, do my research, etc. That's me. Feel free to ask me questions if you have any. ~Katastrophe
Welcome aboard! I'll get you added to the @Fantasy Author group for now. Are you thinking of dipping your toes in LitRPG? Good to have you with us. Let me know if you have any questions.
haha. nice! I wrote my first "book" in the fourth grade. It was also fan-fic - a Pac Man Time Travel adventure. Haha.
Urg, I'm sure you're right...a character has already popped into my head. >.< RETRO VADE ME, shiny new characters! LET ME FINISH WHAT I STARTED
Thanks for the welcome! I am, yeah, but it's kinda crazy of me seeing as I've got the books under my main name I'm working on as well as stuff under pen names that I need to write and publish...there's not enough hours in the day, haha. So I'm going to try to keep it at bay until I've got some WIPs wrapped up and done, and I've done my research into the genre (mainly by reading...a lot).
Greetings! Why do I get the impression you're one of those people who talks a mile a minute and needs to have someone stop you every now and then with a reminder to breath?
Because you're psychic? I talk way too much AND too fast. It's a problem. Specifically the problem of "I'm actually introverted and don't know how to cope with actually being social so I'm just going to motormouth and tell MY ENTIRE LIFE STORY whether they wanna hear or not."
