Beware the Viridian Panther

By night, I’m a writer. Sometimes I write my own shit, other times I write unashamed fanwank because I’m too lazy to devise my own characters and universe. I’m a sucker for good characters and realistic relationships between characters.

By day, I’m a student. I do computer science at a university in London (this probably shows in my writing—I have a slight obsession with making sure that nothing technically impossible involving computers takes place.)

I usually go for games, movies, TV series and stories with a sci-fi bent to them. I love sci-fi because it’s about ideas. I tend to find that in a lot of franchises (coughGleecough) the characters exist solely to present a moral or (in the worst cases) to fall in love with/fuck another character. Good SF stories tend to avoid that, instead putting interesting people in interesting situations and seeing how they react.

Things I like (in no particular order):

• Doctor Who
• Go
• Space
• Mass Effect
• Anything with Bill fucking Nighy in it
• My Kindle
• Copland
• Halo 1, 2 and 3
• Libraries
• Half-Life/Portal
• Arthur C Clarke
• Star Trek (Particularly TNG and Voyager)
• Stravinsky
• The English language
• …and you.

Let’s be friends.
