This is a good idea. Throw my name in the hat for mentoring. Hell, throw me in for a hand full of 'em. I will teach the goddamned class from now, until forever.
Bits and bobs:
Shuck is the name I'm going by on the forums, I'm 25, and have a history of employment in the interactive software development industry (nothing fancy, I was a debugger, which is like...a half-step above basic QA). I've been playing make-believe since about 13-ish, via tabletop and as time and technology improved, I just kind of carried the hobby with me. I tend toward realism/low-fantasy/whatever you might call the available technology in XIV. I'm on EST, and typically available on Skype (PM/Email me for that). Even when I'm not at home, the phone'll make noise when I get a message, and I'll get back to you ASAP.
My thoughts on roleplaying: I firmly believe that it's a hobby for anyone who wants to bother. There's a misconception floating about that roleplayers are inherently exclusionary, elitist, and generally a gaggle of repressed, developmentally arrested adult babies. While that's certainly true of some people who end up roleplaying, I've never believed it to be the norm. I'd like to provide a counter-example to that entirely too vocal minority.
What I might offer you, the prospective mentee (say that word out loud, it sounds weird): Not only the same kinds of lore-checks, character creation assistance, and general writing tips that other mentors might, but I will do this with the patience of a rock, and the obsessive tenacity of a wikipedia editor.
I am willing to work with you for as long as it takes to get your shit to where you want it to be.
As.
Long.
As.
It.
Takes.
So yeah, hit me up.
