First blog

Decided to start a blog about my musings in writing and join the 20th century (it's all vlogs these days...).  I seem to spend an inordinate amount of time blah-blah'ing on other forums that I thought I'd spare the passers by.

What do I write, you might ask?  I live in the land that many fear to tread, full of lemons and wish fulfilment: fan fiction.  Don't go!  Oh...

Well for anyone left, I don't deal in those varieties of fan fiction.  I write for gaming franchises that touched me in some way, had characters that one wanted to know more about and bonded with (as much as one can with a fictional character) and a gripping story.  I try to keep my scribblings in the vain of the source and not veer too far off established 'canon', just creating new content of things we the fans already love.  The franchises I currently write for:

• Mass Effect
• The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim
• Bioshock
• System Shock
• Half Life

That said, I am in the middle of a crossover that veers waaay off canon, involving all of the last three in my list there.  It's becoming a bit of a brain spew but I'm enjoying writing it at least.

Probably gonna dive straight into another blog to go over some ideas I've recently been pondering.  We did discuss recently on a writers' forum that putting thoughts into words like this definitely aids the process, and helps focus your pondering beyond making notes.
