"Heads Down, Non-Geeks!"

Just thought I'd show off a wee bit to my gaming/geek buddies by saying

I'M IN UR SPOTLITE, SHOWIN OFF

For those of you who aren't into that sort of thing, I will summarise.

I play a game called Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. I play it because I've loved the Warhammer setting (both Fantasy and 40K (read: gothic science fiction)) for years, although I can't be arsed with the hassle of the miniatures game with the rules and the numbers and the MONEY involved in buying the damned things.

As a result, I've read countless Warhammer novels, novellas, compilations of short stories, battle reports, etc. etc. ad nauseum, and even tried to write my own stuff every now and then.

A short while ago I won 2nd prize in a Writing Blurb competition down at our local Games Workshop, which was a nice ego boost that cheered me up at the time, and now, while there's no corporeal reward as such, one of my pieces written on a whim for Warhammer Online has been chosen for a Spotlight article on my regular forum.

This, as you can imagine, has rekindled my dream of writing again, and as such I'd like to thank any of my friends who've been kind/interested/bored/tolerant enough to read anything I've written over the years.

Od.

P.S. FEAR MA L33T WRITIN' SKILLZ
