Hey guys, it’s me, the guy. Y’know, the guy that comments occasionally on things that you took note of once and then let your relevant neurons fade into obscurity? [i]Alright, let’s not get ahead of ourselves.[/i]
Believe it or not, I write things sometimes—not often, but sometimes. If you search the deepest, darkest corners of b.net, you might find some of my writing or stories. As it happens, though, the vast majority of my work (even the work relevant to Offtopic) has never been posted. Much of it sits in documents, random stories, or compilations of information. Apologies, I digress. I’m pretty sure at this point I’m just trying to add actual content to my post, something I’m not good at.
Anyways, I will say that those external stories and clumps of information are relevant to the topic at hand. Most writers share a love for writing as a whole, but I’d like to ask what, for you, is it that you just can’t get enough of? Is it character development? Dialogue? Combat? Systems?
———————
I, personally, absolutely [i]love world building[/i]—can’t get enough of it. I love making lore, weapons, items, books, places, history, people, [i]peoples[/i], and everything in between. Typically, world-building ideas will swell up in my head until they reach and apex and melt away, leaving behind their final product, which I write.
For example, I have [i]long[/i] documents committed to both the Twilight Armory and it’s contents as well as the contents of the Lighthouse, something of Sylver’s interspatial library, observatory, and magical room of operations. That’s not even to mention the [i]Ravenous Heart.[/i]
IIIIII’m not very good at avoiding keeping things concise, and don’t know how to end posts. Please provide your input, I’d love to hear it (really).
Uhm, toodaloo.

While I was doing the SCP series, I enjoyed coming up with mad ramblings in my head and then organizing them into a comprehensive documentation based around whoever I was writing about. Was thinking of doing something in a similar format but as something that wasn't SCPs and was more of my own thing that I would call Machines of Woe. But I'm still trying to come up with a proper prologue to introduce the idea.
