[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 2599926, member: 2205"] Just how geeky are you, anyway? I mean, this is ENWorld, so presumably everyone here is into D&D enough to post about it on a messageboard online, but other than that? At one end of the spectrum we have "I play D&D and watch the occasional anime or sci-fi themed TV show," and at the other we have "I report for jury duty in my Starfleet uniform." To get the ball rolling, obviously I play D&D. I don't watch much sci-fi, and have actually never liked Star Trek. I like Star Wars well enough, but I avoid the novels, conventions and Internet discussion groups. I most certainly did [i]not[/i] camp out for tickets to any premieres of any movies in a Boba Fett or stormtrooper costume. I think my level of Star Wars fandom is within mainstream levels. I post a lot about D&D and RPGs here, on Nothingland and on rpg.net, but that's more a strategy for coping with ennui at work than because I'm such a die-hard gamer. I don't have a typical geeky appearance or social habits; I'm married with kids, have lots of mainstream social interaction, I'm only about 25 lbs. or so overweight tops, have a mainstream professional job and an MBA, don't have long hair or a beard, and don't even own more than one or two black t-shirts. On the other hand, eight or nine years ago, I wrote a novella length fanfic based on the characters of the [i]Street Fighter[/i] series of arcade games. And this wasn't just a phase I went through when I was younger; I've actually seriously considered writing another one adding in characters from the [i]King of Fighters[/i] and [i]Fatal Fury[/i] series as well. My own little [i]Capcom vs. SNK[/i] fanfic, if you will. In fact, I've even typed up some notes and three or four introductory chapters. It'll probably just peeter out anyway, but the point is, it's still a geeky hobby of mine. So, how geeky are you? [size=-2][i]And no, I did not make an author cameo as Chun Li's sex toy in that fanfic...[/i][/size] [/QUOTE]
