So we've found our way to whatever online roleplaying havens we now call "home," but where did it start for you? How did you *first* get interested in playing characters that weren't *you*? Did it stem from an RL interest in acting or writing or just a desire to escape reality for a little while?
In my case: I've been writing stories that caught up real people I knew since I was a kid in high school. It's actually how I avoided getting beaten up much of the time, given that back then I was small and easy pickings for bullies. Bullies aren't quite as daunting to me now, but I still have fun weaving stories around other people.
So, how'd you catch the bug?
