Any authors/readers out there?

Hello! A few days ago I published my first short story, and I got to thinking... How many other League players have a published work out there? I think it would be very neat to see other authors who play League, and see what their in-game role is compared to their writing genres. So! I will start!

I am a supportive person who you will never find yelling at you for mistakes. I have played League of Legends for many years, and have had a pretty, blue honor ribbon for a very long time. The short story I published is called Notes, and I guess it would be under the mystery genre... not sure though. I enjoy writing stories that are very close to the real life story of something/someone, and Notes is no exception. My favorite champion is Evelynn, which is strange because my favorite role is support. I do tend to like stealth though... and Evelynn can be supportive for teams. The connection to my book and favorite role? Hmm... I think that the main character in my book is very quiet, just like Sona, a wonderful support character! Maybe a little cheesy, but you get the point!

So! Are there any other authors out there? Have you published something? Even if you have not, what do you like to write and what role do you like to play in League? Who/what is your favorite champion? Tell us about your book as well as the relation between it and your favorite role in League of Legends! Be creative, like I (kinda of) was when I picked Sona in relation to my book. xD

Now if you are not a writer, join us anyways! Tell us what genre you like to read, one of your favorite books, and hook it up somehow with your favorite role in League!

Please, please, please do not demoralize, put down, or rage at your fellow posters on this topic. If you do, we will all call you a monster and summoner 11 you.

I am an avid reader and my girlfirend (who i got into gaming and league) is an author in progress. Any tips for getting a novel published?

Hi! I'm not a huge reader, but I do like short stories and such. I write all the time but haven't published anything. So, while I consider myself an author I'm not actually published lol. I like to write fantasy-esque stuff and I tabletop RP a lot so that inspires me. :) But I'm super interested in new/unknown authors. My favorite champs have to be Varus and TwistedFate partially because they were some of my first and bring nostalgia. I love mid and support roles, but I'm mostly an ARAM fan. Your book looks super interesting! I'll check out the FB page. :)

For the past couple years, I've been working on a novel-length piece that's loosely based on a game I used to frequently play. I've currently got roughly 300 pages typed up on my Word Document, but I handwrite everything before I type it up, so at the moment, I've handwritten close to 500 pages and I still have roughly 1/3 of the story to get through before I can start editing it.
