I've been watching this site for a while now and, while I'm not a devoted painter or gamer, im very interested in history stories and fluff, and also I like bacon.
Welcome to the forums! It's an exciting time for fluff enthusiasts. Our short story contest still has open voting for about two more weeks. The Lustriapedia makes finding fluff pieces and art easier than ever. We'll almost certainly do another one with October writing and November voting. Even when we don't have a contest, we tend to get new stuff on the fluff forum about once a week.
Welcome to the forum. I'm sure you'll find lots of amazing fluff pieces on here and a wealth of useful background information. P.S. I love bacon too!
