Greetings, the starlit doctor!
I am a writer, who writes anything that stops by (I've got really slow at it, though). Mainly fantasy, currently modern fantasy and postapocalyptica, plus occasional attempts of murder mysteries (ack!). When it comes to reading, I'll devour anything that catches my eye, be it science fiction or steampunk.
I am indeed a LARPer, and quite proud of it! LARP, aka Live Action Role-Playing, is a nice mix of traditional RPG/D&D and improvisation theatre, at least that's how I usually explain it. There are many different types, from simplistic swordfight-centered games to highly political and detailed games (Vampire: The Masquerade is the most known example).
Fun stories? Too many to write 'em all up! :D Well... My current very favourite is from my latest game - we NPCs, some sort of underground-monsters, kidnapped a PC, dragged him to the beach, put him on a picnic table ("Feast!") and started performing rituals. Other PCs came to look for us and got lost in the woods. While they were searching their way out, we danced around the table, made random loud noises, harassed said PC, included a lot of off-topic blabbering and dirty jokes (because when there are more than one LARPers, there will be dirty jokes). It doesn't of course sound now anywhere near as fun as it was then...
I've also heard that next day there was a tiny article in the newspaper about 'satanists in the beach'. Just heard, nothing confirmed.
Oh, and fake blood that smelled good, I thought it was some sort of jam so I attempted to eat it. Not jam, but custard and red gouache paint, as it appeared later.
A fan, yes! I happen to be a floor fan - the kind that sits on the floor and sends warm love to everyone around. Yes, that's good.
