Former Lurker Turned Gaming Buddy

So I was on the old Legendfire ages ago but I might have posted once or twice if ever because I'm afraid of people and was also just around the tail-end of the time in my life when internet message boards were basically my entire social life outside school.  I was really active on like an old board called AnimeForum, but that's neither here nor there.  By total happenstance, I became friends through a completely different means with some staff members of the old board which blew my mind when I found out everyone had all been on this writerly forum that I was always too scared to ever post on.

I want to start writing again, but I've had trouble in the past getting going.  I think I've had something of a writing block for several years now.  I don't know how to explain just not being able to write much of anything despite having worlds and stories and characters floating around in my head, some of them screaming for over a decade to be let out but when I sit in front of a document, I just can't write.  I think it might be linked to some trauma in my life but who knows.

Whatever happens, I'm close friends with some people here so I want to help get things going again and maybe be a little brave and get past some of my weird blocks.  If you know me or have me followed/friended in other places, then you might know me as KamiYugure, DaniYugure, Yugure, Yugure's Goddess, etc.  (I'm a weeb, ok?)  I really love storytelling in a lot of different forms especially those that allow interaction with the story on some level.  I like Video Games and RPGs of all sorts.  Used to get into play-by-post roleplays in my forum haydays, and I like things like Dungeons and Dragons/Pathfinder, Apocalypse World, Call of Cthulu and other tabletop games.  I'm a lover of fantasy (especially fantasy that includes dark mysteries), with a little bit of science fantasy thrown in the mix.  Though I'm not as into science fiction as I feel I could or should be, I do love a kind of story that expresses cosmic awe and maybe even dread or horror at the vast mysteries of the universe.  I also just really love some of that ~*~ gay sh*t ~*~  and will gladly read your ~*~ gay sh*t ~*~ if you'd like. 

I have a weird relationship with dramatic stories, stuff that's almost soap-opera-like but also checks off other boxes, like thriller or fantasy.  I kind of love when dramatic horrible stuff happens to characters, like in really dramatic anime like Death Note or Code Geass.  I guess a more western thing would be something like A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones or perhaps Westworld.  I love a well built world with intrigue and mystery, and magic and maybe also people killing and betraying each other.

Umm... what else...?  Oh I'm kinda working on becoming a full stack developer and in college my first major was clarinet performance.  I will fight anyone over my trashbag sons Draco Malfoy, Theon Greyjoy, and Asriel Dreemurr and I will defend fanfiction and cats to my dying breath.


So, yeah... hi.  Play games with me sometime (I'm on GW2, and FFXIV and sometimes Smite, lately.) though I can be very bad at games sometimes, especially when stressed or nervous, so, you have to be laid back if you wanna game with me.

Live, laugh, love, smash the patriarchy, defund the police, and eat the rich, yeah? Also, Trans Rights.  (Only say these things to welcome/wink/nod people who are of a like mind and put off people who aren't.  Not interested in debates.)
