So what do I have, you ask?
My main area of authorial interest has lain in Fiction, with a strong preference for the Fantasy genre, for as long as I can remember. Practically all of my stories have a type of magic system or other supernatural abilities involved. Some of the works are thinly (or obtusely) interconnected in some way, but most all of the explanations are unique to each!
Personally, space based science-fiction is also a great love of mine ('Arthur C. Clarke' and 'Issac Asimov' come foremost to mind - as they should!), but the thought of writing it has never appealed directly to me. When it comes down to it, the systematization of normally unknown or currently pseudo-scientific phenomena is what appeals from both types of sci-fi. The veil between the two concepts is thin - whether 'nonexistent-technology' or 'nonexistent-magic' - but that perception of the seemingly unnaturalness of 'magic' to our reality is important to me. That being said, I do love worlds where fantasy and science collide in lovely and spectacular ways (for instance, some works of 'Anne McCaffery' or 'Terry Brooks').
I've been toying with my concepts and worlds for many years, slowly (too often glacial) piling each of them up into forms I would some day deem acceptable enough for others to consume. While I've put more than a modicum of work and consideration in to most of them, note that none are yet 'finished' to me and all do have more still hiding away in my head waiting to come out. Those of you who have wandered here now get the chance to enjoy them as they are - and maybe even, in some cases, as they progress~

But here's the deal:
I like feedback! Positive, negative, it doesn't really matter - as long as it is constructive. You don't have to write a five paragraph paper (unless you want to), but any details are very appreciated. It's well and good to know that something is liked... or not, but if I don't understand the potential reasons for those reactions from those that consume my work, I'll never be able to spice them in a way that both of us enjoys.

The story I thought would be most likely to launch as a web series, as I began working on it.
My deconstruction/homage fueled attempt at the 'dungeon fantasy' genre.
The one which set the precedent for noting down plot-lines and characters from my dreams to develop/incorporate into full stories.
The first story (of length) I wrote - and quite ambitious for me at the time (if not overdone/stale now). Research and plans. It really all began here.
While the characters came earlier than any above, the actual plot was third in line to be seriously fleshed out.
A collection of works inspired by dream-state ideas that are entwined onto the same world-stage.
My first to reach 'book/volume' completion size, after much time and work. Second to have its major plot formation. Still needs lots of TLC.
As plain as it sounds.
