Interestingly enough -- and yes, this is going to be a relatively unrelated (ha!) tangent -- I've been told on numerous occasions by multiple people that I should get involved in role-playing or interactive fiction. All of my short stories are -- at least narratively speaking -- first-person character studies, often written in present tense. If you're familiar with method acting, that's only a slight exaggeration of what I do to write them: I try to get into the mindset of the characters, explore the world around them, and use their appropriate voice.

You would think, given all of that, that role playing would come very naturally to me, but I've never really done it much. The extent that I did was in a community for an MMORPG, and that was mostly just because they actually had members who were intelligent and respectful rather than just another gathering of pseudo-men waving their gigantic penchant for "superiority" around like the game was a mating-season contest.

And... yeah, that was a lot more than I meant to say.
