A not new but not quite frequent visitor, looking to actually participate instead of just watching from the sidelines. I am a male writer willing to try my hand at just about anything and everything, with varying degrees of success, but we shall see what we shall see. If anyone is interested in, or in need, of a male writer to participate in a thread, feel free to pm as desired. What follows are a couple random idea that had bounced around in my skull, of various genres and themes:
Lord of the Iron Mountains: Far northward of the sprawling southern kingdom of man lies the Iron Mountains, a cold and harsh place that lies as a barrier to barbarians, monsters and darker things beyond. A single pathway exists for those seeking to pass through the mountains, and long ago a single fortress-city was built and garrisoned to guard the pass, its ruler known only as the Iron Lord. Every few decades, it comes to pass that word reaches the royal courts, that the next Iron Lord has taken his predecessors place, and that a bride must be found to ensure the next generation. So it is, that a woman, born of high-born blood, is sent to be the Iron Lord's bride.
Male Commodity: Far into the future, the male of the species has dwindled. Generations of destructive and costly wars, lead at the hands of men, have caused a massive shift in the male to female ratio. When the losses were finally deemed to costly, and with so few men to take the normally "male-dominated" roles in society, women took center stage, bringing humanity back from the brink of extinction. Now, however, with men still being an uncommon occurrence, they are treated as a commodity, the ownership of a man, and thus the ability to produce children as well a source of manual labor, a sign of wealth and prestige among social circles.
