I'm also a casual writer, and I enjoy the creative outlet it offers. I spent my early years studying traditional art and computer animation, and though in my professional life those avenues didn't pan out I still have some skill with a pen in my hand. I tend to look at writing as just another artistic outlet, which it is. I find places like this where there are passionate story tellers that are willing to collaborate on stories can really help push my own proficiency to new heights. Typically I aim to give at least a solid three or four paragraphs per post, very rarely do I fall under that as I particularly enjoy painting an atmosphere with words.
I adored dungeons and dragons as a youth and even into my young adult years and it inspires a lot of my fantasy driven creations. As for plot to smut, I tend to go with the flow and what makes sense in a scenario. I don't really have a formula I stick too, though I suppose I favor story more so when it comes to fantasy tale's such as this. Even though my character in this story might disagree, smut just for the sake of smut can feel dull and I'd rather have a build up that makes it exciting.
Might be an interesting idea in such a large group as this to take turns offering up the foils that our group has to deal with on their random journeys. Whether that be an encounter that is faced on the roads, or a longer arching plot with a worthy adversary is something for the group to discuss. Obviously not everyone would have to partake, and there would have to be some level of understanding in regards to resolving these conflicts. I wouldn't want to see any particular one overshadow anything that our GM might have up her own devious sleeves.
As for my personal life, I work in the bustling business of getting people's packages to their front door. Yes, I'm your delivery man. I leave biscuits for your dogs much to the disdain of my own. Speaking of dogs, I'm an avid dog lover and have a trio at my home. Big and fluffy are my personal favorites and I have a Bernese Mountain Dog whose 4 1/2, a 3 year old Newfoundland, and a 2 1/2 year old hound mix. Speaking of my job, I fully expect that when the end of November descends upon us that I'll more then likely become largely inactive. I tend to work close to seventy hours a week and six days a week through the madness of the holiday bonanza. I expect Disiyir will be in a drunken hibernation for that period, though I'll do my best to keep up to date with the story.
