Friend of mine (Canny, who runs
Totally KotOR) recently returned to the wired after 2 years away working as a Missionary in China. One of the first things he's pointed out to me is that the
KotOR Fan Media site is really not what is used to be. And it's true. There's a lot less traffic going through there now than when I joined 3 and a half years ago. Three and a half years. Damn, that's a long time. (Heck, I've been on and off DA for three years, now, too.)
I partially have KotOR to blame for getting me into fan art and fiction. I used to rarely ever touch it. But after playing Jade Empire, I was totally hooked on the immersive worlds Bioware built. I jumped into KotOR looking for the next Jade Empire. What I found was a game less satisfying (but with a sequel) and a massive fan-built community that sucked me in. I found myself crafting things I never thought I could do. In retrospect, some of my short stories for the Dueling Circle challenges are still pretty darn good. Dark. I like dark.
Anyway, a lot of my connections online today are friends I first connected to from the KotOR Fan Media site. And also FF.net, though the KFM folk are way more active with fanart on DA. But where are you guys now? Where do you hang your KotOR fetish? Have you moved on to other games, other genres? What's up?
