Hello!

[Appol PhD they/he]

Hello, everyone.  I know that this is probably going to be my first impression on anyone reading this, so I'll try not to make too much of a fool of myself. Or maybe I should just to throw you all for a loop and see if anyone responds out of pity. A tantalizing possibility...

In all seriousness, it's nice to meet you all. I've been reading Brandon's books for several years but I've never really thought to join this site before. But here I am... and probably indistinguishable from all of the other people on this website. But that's okay, right?  

So I guess I should say a bit about myself to at least give you guys a vague image of who I am. I'm a new writer who's trying to take a crack at the fantasy genre. This probably doesn't surprise anyone, but Brandon's books inspire me and I get a lot of my ideas from what he writes about. I'm pretty much your stereotypical nerd, but almost as a nerd hipster/heretic. Basically, I like nerdy board/card/video games, but all of my favorite games are so obscure and weird that even most nerds haven't heard of them. If anyone else enjoys playing Android: Netrunner, Doomtown: Reloaded, Caverna, The World Ends with You, or Mother 3, you're in good company.

Well, I can't really think of anything else to say about myself right now. Normally I play the "I'm an aspiring writer" card when I have to describe myself, but I feel like that doesn't get me much mileage here.  But if people just remember me as the weird person who plays weird games, that will make me happy for now. A bad internet image is better than none, right?

...On second thought, maybe not so much.

I'm not entirely sure whether or not I was actually trying to make a fool out of myself to attract pity, but I feel like now is a good place to end my intro. I hope that you all have a wonderful day.

Ah, creativity threads are always nice.  Although I do sometimes feel like I already have too many ideas and not enough time to write them all. And I'll definitely message you if I have any questions. Mafia with role play sounds interesting (and I'm assuming that we're talking about the party game here? Apparently there's also a video game), but I think I'll pass for now. My university is on quarters so finals are drawing near. 

My favorite Sanderson book is Words of Radiance... but I also really like Warbreaker.  It's nice to see fantasy where not all of the conflicts are solved by people smacking each other with big weapons.
