Author has written 77 stories for Lord of the Rings, Stargate: SG-1, Silmarillion, Firefly, Stargate: Atlantis, Doctor Who, Torchwood, Merlin, and Legend of the Seeker. The key to writing a good story is not to write what you want to read, but rather what your audience wants to. I'm a twenty-something perpetual academic who does not even pretend to live in the Real World. My television/novel interests come and go across all branches of sci-fi and fantasy, so there's rather an interesting mix of things here. I'm rather fond of character introspectives. And angst. Also, my updating is something in the neighbourhood of sporatic, owing to a life lived on the go, a passing attempt at sociality and a muse that may or may not hate me, given the day. Update 28-08-09: I know I've been MIA for quite a while. These last few months have complete drained my creativity to the last drop. I not only do not have the inspiration to write stories, I don't have the will power to sit down and type either. But in three weeks I return the country I was born in (I refuse to call it 'home' because that implies I like being there). For the foreseeable future I will be unemployed, living with my parents, and broke, so perhaps actually hitting rock bottom will inspire me. I will at least have time to write again if I can figure out what to write about. Look for stuff in the new year, maybe. | |||||||||||
