Author has written 5 stories for Gorillaz.

So I'm suppose to write something good in here, but I can't really think of anything good to write. But lets see if I can come up with something reasonable.

I've been writing Gorillaz fanfictions for about six years, even though when I first started I was almost illiterate. My grammar was terrible and even now it's not very good. I had no idea what the difference was between a full stop and a coma, so I tended to use full stops in place of comas. And as far as colons and semi colons were concerned, I had no idea what to do with them. I mistakenly believed that being on the internet would put me in touch with people who would help me improve... Four years later, I was no better off and beginning to believe that the internet was the place to go to meet demoniacally possessed people. People, who would much rather spit in your face, while stabbing you viciously and repeatedly in the groin with a blunt pencil. For daring to ask them anything, let alone look in their general direction.

I still believe that.

About one and a half years ago, I met a nice person on the internet. (Shock horror, yes they do exist.) They took me under their wing and have been helping me to improve my writing abilities ever since. I still get lazy at times but the coma has finally made an appearance in my work. My worst habit would have to be that I tend to pause when I'm writing to think about the next thing to say. Which is also something that I tend to do when speaking. This is where I tend to place a coma and if I forget to go back and remove it later... Yeah, I know.

I do have another account here, under the name spyder1070. But sadly the email account that it was attached to died a horrible death due to severe neglect and I'll be buggered if I can remember the damn password. I don't even know if it still exists, but if it does, check it out if you want to see how much I have improved. This account only has one story at the moment and it may be the only one that I put here. I prefer to write canon, because I like to write the Gorillaz characters as Jamie intended. Although on my DA account, I have ventured into the world of slash with a few OC's that I created. Actually, when I say slash, I do mean triple X porn. Which I came a within a hairs breath of being kicked off the site for daring to write. I deleted them, regrettably.

Even in those I still kept Gorillaz in character. The OC's were never in, nor wished to have, a permanent relationship with Murdoc. One of them actually left Point Nemo with another OC called Kurt Uti, who is an OC that was created by thenugeart and associates from the GU. I ended up so annoyed that I had to delete those stories, that I decided to write a book involving them instead. It was while on a break from that, that I came up with 212 Wobble Street Bites. I'd seen the Do Ya Thing video when it first came out and became intrigued with Murdoc's room. So I decided to explore the idea in a single chapter. That then rolled on into a series, that was about 21 chapters long. If you've read it, you're probably very confused right now. "Hold on! There's only 17?" I know.

The idea that I had as an ending, that I've been looking at recently. I don't really like it. In a sense there isn't much that I can say until Jamie and associates tell us where they're headed. Often when it comes down to attempting to predict their movements. Generally copious amounts of drugs and booze may be a requirement. So not about to head down that road and considering that I wanted to end it on a happy note. I left it as is. I may continue this story in a follow up one at a later date. When I get the time.

So there you have it. My profile rant, whinge, whine and moan is done. Thank you for your time and patience.

Spyder.
