...A random title for a random guy.
It appears that I havnt really got a topic where I explain who I am and what I'm for so, here it is.
I'm Phorcys, originally Adam101. Now I have a cool new avatar that is weirdly strange lol. My user name is the name of one of the sons of Posieden in Greek Mythology, it came from my research into The Boatman (one of my stories).
For about 2 years I have started taking an active role in writing communities and increasing my skills in prose, characterization and plotting. I have progressed muchly over that time and YWS has helped me. I have started about 5 novels now, all 15k words in. However, I always get bored with them because I never think about the plot. All of them have been cliches. Well, this novel I'm currently writing isn't cliche, I really love the characters I have and have begun to write it and post it here.
I write Fantasy, fantasy, fantasy. I love creating my own worlds and interacting my characters in them. I especially love unique political systems in my stories and enjoy creating societies immensely. My major downfall in world building is languages, most names are randomly thought up (places etc.) but this time there is a little structure.
I also enjoy reading fantasies although if its good, I read anything.
Many people know me as "that idiot that hates LOTR" - well I am an idiot and I hate LOTR, but I am forcing myself to read it of late because in a debate I am often criticized that if I haven't read it then I shouldn't be able to make a point.
I'm English.

I'm a Mentor on YWS, although that is becoming a defunct position, however hopefully I can become a greeter or something else so I can continue to help.
If anyone needs a crit, just PM me
And no Dreem Deep - I have not forgotten Chair of Wind and Darkness
C ya,
Adam
