To previous members of Chubbs and AD

[Magus]

I've been trying Nanoha's approach. The Omniverse is, to me, two things.

One, I stopped writing since the death of Chubbs. That's about 2 years. This was, for me, an opportunity to start writing again in a fun environment, and one I am incredibly thankful for.

Two, I'm trying very hard with a new style that I'm not incredibly familiar with, and it involves much more focus on characters and their motivations than 'splosions and ACTION! Although that stuff's interesting; it'll definitely be there, too.

I, ah, I've written literally millions of words over my writing career and never tried to get anything published. I've never actually been very confident in my writing. Part of this is to get the rust off and get to a level I'm happy with to start 'writing for real,' if that makes any sense.

Confidence is a huge issue for me with writing, and this competitive atmosphere pushes me a lot. I like that. The rules aren't particularly necessary to me personally but they do frame the RPG in a tangible way, and, let's be honest, they don't get in my way. So I don't care if they're there or not. I like the setting Greg's come up with and I intend to have a good time with it.
