StormySky Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 Ever since I was 7, I highly disliked realistic fiction books for being "too boring" To this day, fantasy and sci-fi are the realms of most of my entertainment. Last night I couldn't sleep (caffeine crisis) so I wrote a story about a space pony and a dragon pirate pillaging powerful shadow crystals from an empire of scorpian guys with big guns for such little spaceships. Because I'm weird like that. Just now I re-read it, and it's really embarassing but very entertaining. Today I went for a walk with my dog in a park (we live near an airport) and I pretended that I was on the run and had to hide from every plane that passed overhead. Link to post Share on other sites

Nebulous Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Awesome idea for a thread! I routinely listen to music, all the while daydreaming about scenarios in a world that I created a few years ago. I have lots of fleshed-out relationships with the characters. I guess you could call it living vicariously through my imagination. Link to post Share on other sites
Epitaph Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 My favorite childhood authors were the likes of Robert A. Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, Tolkein, and J.K. Rowling, likely among many others. Link to post Share on other sites

Palovana Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I'm still a total sucker for Harry Potter and Tolkien nearly 20 years after I discovered them. Also I'm kind of a JRPG nerd. And I even write very serious fanfiction from time to time about my favorite characters. **cringe** Not sure I entirely fit the profile you've requested here, as I'm also writing my own book and it's agonizingly realistic in terms of existential nihilism. But I can be a total fantasy-obsessed supergeek when I want to be. Link to post Share on other sites

This describes me pretty well. I am not into fantasy as a genre or too much into sci-fi anymore, but I daydream and make up stories constantly (though I rarely write them down). Childlike is the perfect word for me in many aspects of my personality as well. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I'm a HUGE fan of fiction stories; "Lord Of The Rings" and "Harry Potter" are still my number ones ! i also enjoy scientific books; i mean i read them all the time; like "The Universe In A Nutshell" and like that. But i dont know why when it comes to sci-fic stories i'm like "ugh" !! My childhood favorite book and author was "The intelligent men's guide to science" by Issac Asimov; I loved him so much that I worshiped him!! i still do! but once i tried to read one of his sci-fic (and i knew he's damn good at it), but i was just like "oh; no! it's torturing my soul!!" It surprises me too!! that i hate sci-fic movies and books!! But anyways, "Interstellar" was probably THE ONLY sci-fic genre story that i REALLY LOVED!! There is one more book: "Journey Of Souls" by Michael Newton; it's categorized as 'inspirational fiction' genre; but it's more like a documentary book of a hypnotherapist's experiences and cases; which was so cool and thrilling for me to read.

Always looking for answers Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I don't really read fantasy (I read horror and thrillers) but do play D&D and create characters and storylines in fantasy settings for the game. Sometimes I draw maps to create worlds, cities or the interios of churches/castles/taverns etc.. I really wish I could draw characters or architecture so that I could bring my imaginary world to life even more. A long time ago I started reading the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind and The Death Gate Cycle by Weiss & Hickman. Do more people in here keep track of their books on Goodreads?
