So... just who is this 'MyBlueOblivion' guy?
A very good question, friend. Why not come in and find out? If you are here, then either you have spotted one of my stories (and hopefuly both read and enjoyed it), or else you saw my name on a review and were intrigued. Or, you're stalking me... ;) Either way, welcome to my little corner of the site.
My Name: MyBlueOblivion, at least here on site. My friends, of which there are a few (though there is always room for more!), can call me Blue.
My Real Name: Jeremy, though these days I prefer Jez. But 'Blue' is just as good.
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Location: Essex, England
Profile: This would be, in an ideal world, the part where I tell you that the above is just smoke and mirrors; that MyBlueOblivion is actually a wraith, a figment, second-cousin to Harvey the Rabbit, something to keep me annonymous. Or that he is actually the gestalt creation of a select group of some of the best sci-fi and fantasy writers in living memory.
Chance would be a fine thing. Besides which, reality, I find, is often sooo much stranger than fiction...
I've been writing for a while now. My first multi-chapter story was written at the tender age of nine; something about an island cast-away, I think, written as a school project. Admittedly, the 'chapters' were just three or four paragraphs long, and the story was hopeless... but it was a beginning. By the time I was eleven, I had written a rhyme-based re-telling of The Pied Piper of Hamlin, which spent a couple of years on the wall of my local library as part of a display. I had found that I loved writing...
Unfortunately, being a very shy kid (and still being quite shy and retiring today), I didn't make any more steps as a writer, not for some time. I did read, though; for as long as I can remember, my parents had encouraged me to read. I quickly developed a taste for anything science-fiction, and a little fantasy. From Doctor Who, to Star Trek and Star Wars novels, comic books (X-Men and Spiderman, where I could), to the works of Tolkien and C. S. Lewis, a bit of Shakespeare and Dickens as I got older... I loved it all, and still do.
I wrote a couple of pieces inbetween, but they never got far, and I never really showed anyone. The main one was an idea I had for a story called Axis, my own sci-fi novel; I always managed to write a chapter or two, realised that I still had a lot to learn about writing, and gave in. I'm still working on it today; don't go looking in your local bookstore any time soon, though :)
Then I discovered FanFiction. I fell in love almost immediately, and it wasn't too long at all before I got myself a profile. At first, I just wanted to read, and created this profile for reviewing purposes only. Before long, though, the writing bug bit me, and bit me hard... the rest, as they say, is history.
Here, my two main fandoms are going to be Transformers/Beast Wars, and C. S. Lewis. I've loved both worlds since I was little, so it kinda made sense... if I go anywhere else on this site, it'll be as the muse strikes me. My writing style, I like to think, is fairly adaptable to fit content. Most of what I write will tend toward action/adventure, with a healthy dose of subtler emotional scenes thrown into the mix. Some, my Slipstream Chronicles series and their sequel Slipstream: Ressurection (due out 12th March next year) fall into a near-horror category. Others will be comedy based, and some of them will even be introspective pieces set around one or a few characters. Wether or not they're any good, of course, I'll leave up to you...
Thanks for taking the time to read this. I guess that I was feeling a bit introspective today, and felt like going over why I'm here. The answer to my opening question, 'who is MyBlueOblivion?' is in there too, in part. For the rest of the answer, keep reading, friend. It's all there, if you look...
