Ha! We might as well exchange addresses and send pigeons
Glad to hear youre still writing. Maybe Ill take a gander The New World when I get a chance. What would you plan to write about in your world? Mil Scifi? Space Opera?
I just came back from Yerevan about three weeks ago at this point maybe a month. Had a damn good time. An gawd they got some chesty women. I think Armenians, Serbians, and Ukrainians all produce the best women in the world. I'm back stateside though now.
I'm here on time for once, haha!
Actually, I am neither writing a Military Scifi or Space Opera, but a novel set in a fantasy world which sits between High and Dark fantasy. It's still in the early writing stages, with most of my focus over the last couple of months being on the world's creation: creating the continents, mapping out the kingdoms and the geography of their regions, and fleshing out the races who rule them.
I was invested in writing some science fiction a couple of years ago, but I feel like I've only scratched the surface of that genre. I don't know if you remember 'The Crystalline Ocean' the original setting I wrote for a competition here on 40k online sometime ago, but it was basically an evolution of that. I always started off strong in the beginning, but I continually came across the issue of the book coming off more as a military science fiction novel, and that was not really what I wanted.
Overtime, a stronger and stronger yearning to write something more adventurous, but still maintain a sense of grim violence kind of sparked my interest in writing fantasy. Both the classical and medieval periods have been points of interest in my life, so I thought it would be good to put that inspiration to good use.
I never thought I'd attempt a fantasy setting until I wrote 'Gods' Hall' another fan-fic set in the Warhammer Fantasy Universe. It was about a raiding force of norsemen who become stranded in the province of Nordland after their fleet is razed in a battle against the Dark Elves.
Here are a few select scenes from previous iterations of the fantasy book that I decided to share on Heresy, if you're interested in reading them.
And here is 'The New Word' in case you wanted to see that, so you don't have to go hunting for it

Sorry for rambling, don't mean to make your thread about my efforts

EDIT: Ah, sorry moderators about the links! In that case I'll leave a thread in the fiction board of some of the scenes I've written.
