About Nancy Edit

• Name: Nancy Marie Sauer
• Age: 43
• Position: Writer, Legend of the Five Rings Story Team

HistoryEdit

I started playing the L5R CCG in the summer of 1999, because at the time I was associated with a group of people who were organizing a regional science fiction/gaming convention and all of them played it. Up until that time I had been a dedicated player of role-playing games and though I knew how to play Magic: the Gathering, CCGs didn't interest me much. Much to my surprise, I quickly became an enthusiastic player of L5R. Soon I began to write L5R fanfic, and eventually I started the Ricepaper Society, a writer's group for L5R fanfic writers, so that I could improve my writing skills. After Rich Wulf stepped down I applied for a position on the new Story Team, and became a member of that august body in the summer of 2006. I continue to work on improving my writing skills. ([1])

DutiesEdit

Mostly I write stories. I also help with card titles and favor text, story tournament ideas, and any miscellaneous verbage needed to maintain a storyline game.([2])

Favorite StoryEdit

Choosing is hard. Let's go shopping! No? Ok, a three-way tie: A Syllable of Time - [3] Promises - [4] Specters - [5]

Favorite story of what I've written: Disavowed - [6]. (Daidoji Uji is in it.)([7])
