Yep, and I'm finally getting somewhat serious about it now. I haven't had any fiction published, but I have some research articles and opinion pieces under my belt. I also have most of a novel finished, but I'm not ready to let it go yet.
I believe LOTR was probably my first introduction to serious fantasy, but I'm not sure. I can't honestly remember if I read Anne McCaffrey's Pern series, Narnia, or LOTR first. I've done so MUCH reading, it's hard to say what's influenced me or not.
I like to write my fantasy as partially based in the modern world - I love mixing magic and the mundane. And I've never been particularly interested in languages. I do sometimes write about elves, though. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
