Back Stories?

What's the general concensus about back stories? Good idea, bad idea?

Say if someone was to be very bored at work and decided to write one, would you be interested in reading it?

The RP section has a character thread FULL of character backstories but they are currently being transfered to the OUF Wiki which has a link located on the right side of this site, you can read the ones still here or go there and read some, I encourage you to participate in the Roleplaying section and right a backstory.

I my self have written a few short stories and put them in the Fan Creations section along with quite a few stories written by other members here, and they are certainly read by a large majority of the members.

It'd be awesome to read a backstory to Aurora's character. Just create a page on the wiki and write, post up here when you're done.

Just may do that... although the way I write, I'm talking about a novel here, haha my old english teacher would be proud.

always good to understand each other more and another writter in the rps will help spice things up

yeah, I havent really been involved in RPs since I just joined but ive already been cooking up a background story for my character. Where would I put it?

Thanks!
I've also been trying to find a good avatar, but my drawing skill makes this text look like a masterful abstract work.

Chances are good that I would be making two character backstories one for my Sith, one for my Smuggler I will likely be making. Perhaps after I have been playing around with it for awhile I will look into making one for each of my eventual 8 characters.
