Cosmic Greetings! My nom de plume is Leo Wyld. As such, that is not my given, legal name - I seldom share that online. That said, there are a handful of people who know me as Leo Wyld and also know my real name.

I am a writer. It's an art I've pursued since I was a child. While I am not established professional and have not managed to publish a completed work in any worthwhile venue, I am not *technically* an amateur. I did receive an item with monetary value in exchange for writing - ok, it was a T-shirt but that still counts.

In any case, I wrote full stories in my youth and have written many full blog posts and features. What has eluded me is a grander fictional work I have chased for much of my life. Something in a novelistic direction. My definition is nebulous because I am not sure whether it would be a novel or a series of novels or even traditional prose at all. Furthermore, I find myself revising, rebooting, and completing reworking the concept before I can complete it. Perhaps it is an ambition I will never fulfill...

However, I had the idea of posting some of the ideas here. Just to get them out there, in some form.

The tentative title of my work is the WILD Ones. WILD being an acronymic organization featured in the work. That title could change, of course.

I am going to divide this into two sections, for now: characters and concepts. Characters is self-explanatory and concepts largely concerned with setting-related details for the work.
