I'm quite new to roleplaying at the moment of writing, but I am definitely not new to creating characters, world or, for that matter, reading about them: I am a huge fan of most types of fantasy and some types of science fiction and am also very much into crime fiction.
I also spend some time writing, usually, epic poetry. You can find most of my works over at deviantart. I'm never quite satisfied with the result, but a few of the very long poems did receive some acclaim. Whether it was earned or not is not for me to say.
