I scoured the community userinfo for some guidelines on how I ought to write up an introductory post, didn't see anything, and decided just to get right to it. If I've bungled it up somehow just fuss at me and I'll either fix it or go weep in a corner.

Hello! I'm one of many aspiring high fantasy authors hunting for an existing writer's circle to squeeze my way into. The project I've been working on for the past few months consumes my thoughts completely, but I'm so easily bogged down by doubt and indecision that of the ~17k I've got now, I'm happy with maybe ~4k of it. Maybe that's normal. That's probably normal, right? Right? Help I am drowning in je ne sais quoi.

Anyway, if you've got a discerning eye for fantasy fiction, I'd like to talk to you more and hopefully offer some constructive criticism of my own if you've got work to share.

I often write semi-fantastical settings with big dollops of sci-fi and ridiculous things happening everywhere, so maybe that counts? Anyway I'm always looking for more writers to talk to and exchange writerly glee with so I'd be happy to offer opinions and be your cheerleader and point out silly metaphors. :3 Ifyoulike.

It counts! I eat up sci-fi like cake, I just can't for the life of me figure out how to write it myself. Possibly because I look at all the nifty gears and mechanisms in most science-y things and feel rather like a moron. "Hey look that thing does cool stuff when you press that button--marvelous!"
