OK....so if we're here in this forum, it's a fairly safe bet that we're gamers. Or at least that we play BG2.
My question to you: how many of you also read? And I don't mean things like game manuals, i'm talking actually read. Personally, i've always been right into the Fantasy Genre, I was reading long before I began gaming. Aside from reading Salvatore's (I think it was him) series on Drizzt Do'urden and the Underdark, I own many other books and have read many more. PRobably too many to write down here  Among my favorites: Sara Douglass; Ian Irvine; without fail, we have Tolkein; All of Weis' and Hickmans' novels, although particularly the 5th gate cycle (was that it?) Anyway, on a final question: does anyone here also write? ------------------ The meek shall inherit the Earth. But the strong shall reclaim it as their own.

Ive always read a lot of books in the fantasy genre. Ive always wanted to write, but it seems I never get around to starting anything. Is anyone else the same way?

Yes and Yes!
 I read fantasy mostly, and am beginning to get back into the writing part of it. Drifter, check the AD&D books forum here. And if you're looking for a good writer's forum, there's a link to one in Kaz's sig. It's a great place.  ------------------   Lil' Angel  Sword Saint and Enchantress of the HADB Clan The Lady Lioness of Castle Kerhelm Waitress at Cloudy's Cafe, PB's Pub, and the Promised Land Official Restrainer of Table Dancers PeaceKeeping Force, Intelligence Division Emerald Dragoness of DOTW Incorrigible Redsox Fan Unsuspecting Victim of one of Jerome and Rikard's Plots Founder and Leader of TOTS Ah Een Romance die opbloeit in de Savanne Dubbed 'Nala' by Rikard, Legolas and Jerome--RRROOOOAAAAAAARRRRR!!! |

Uh-huh, I love reading. I like fiction (something in Agatha Christie's style), fantasy (yes, Wheel of Time is great; and almost anything by Glen Cook), and, of course, I love a lot of books that are hard to define by genre... Actually my favorite (well, "almost favorite" since it's difficult to choose the only one) writer is F. Scott Fitzgerald...
As to writing... I do not write stories or novels, but I write articles since I work as journalist ------------------ Tanda, Assassin White Dragoness of The Dragoons Of The Wind [This message has been edited by Tananda (edited 10-30-2001).] |

This is a great topic, but it's probably better in our Fantasy Books forum. Please visit, I'd love to see more people there talking about AD&D, Tolkien, and other fantasy books (you can talk about sci-fi too if you want).
Moving this to the Books forum, please come and visit! ------------------
