Hello, my name is Ravyn. I'm new here and thought it would be appropriate to give a little introduction post.
I've been a fan of WWF/WWE off and on since I was a little girl. I moved to Texas in 2009, and in 2010, moved into an apartment that provided free cable. My husband and I got to finally enjoy Smackdown, Raw, and TNA. I was still considered a noob, I suppose as I didn't know a lot of the new wrestlers and wasn't anywhere near up to date. Didn't take me long, however, to find some favorites [Undertaker has remained a favorite since I was a kid, but I began to quickly enjoy Rey Mysterio].
My husband is a big gamer, and owned Smackdown vs Raw 2009 and 2010, which he would play by himself, since, at the time, I was not familiar with how to really use the playstation controllers beyond DDR and like...one other game. One day, he asked me to create a character of myself...which was a disaster. Not too long after, I suffered from a head injury which began to mess with my ability to concentrate and get around. Since I couldn't really get around very well for a while, I spent a lot of my time making custom WWE characters for the video games...and even learned to play [to the point where I had to unlock all the items and play the harder levels for my hubby LOL].
I purchased a copy of R vs SM 2011 not long after that as a gift to the both of us. By then, we weren't really able to watch it on TV as often without the help of youtube, since we no longer has cable. For us, internet usage was more important than TV [that's what youtube, hulu, and netflix is for].
Well, none of that says anything about why I'm here. I'm a novelist, and I like to write about many different things [I do all sorts of fiction]. One of my aspiring projects was a wrestling novel. I've managed to get a few hellos and brief responses from some twitter accounts, and made a friend who is in wrestling school now. The project has been an off and on project for about a year.
Recently, I really wanted to try and get it off the ground, but my knowledge of the insides and outs of wrestling is limited. I'm not as hardcore a fan as some others. I don't want to step on anyone's toes when it comes to copyrights and I would like to really learn the terms and such so that I can put a lot of care into the writing [granted there will still be some made-up stuff too, but I want to respect the business by using real stuff too].
I had asked openly on my twitter if anyone would be willing to help me out. "Vince McMahon" [a member here] invited me so that I could ask my questions to all of the loyal and educated fans and whomever else can give me a helping hand to really make my new novel project a work of hard work and love.
So, that's my story in a nutshell. I'll put up a post a wee bit later with my questions and such in the proper area after I really gather my thoughts and think about the questions I want to ask.
As for me, if anyone would like to know anything about me or my work, or just chit chat, feel free to say hello or ask questions. I don't bite. I hope to enjoy my time and experiences here
