I am Richard the Platypus, author of many stories, songs and poems.
Writing is my calling, my purpose in life, so I hope you enjoy my product.
Anyway, if you hate my stuff, review it, if you like my stuff, review it... either way i like hearing your opinion. And if it really strikes you, email me, man, I'd love to hear from you if you have so much as a few coherent thoughts about why you like/dislike my work.
Anyway, as for my interests, besides writing, I like to listen to music (I have a very eclectic taste... my favorite music generally tend to be revolutionary musicians from 1967-1974... Jimi Hendrix, Velvet Underground... but I like a lot of the alternative modern rock too... Radiohead, Bjork... and techno, when focused on music instead of dance, I like quite a bit too.)
I have recently taken up the bongo drums... after years of failing at the guitar I have found my musical niche. Not much I like to do better to come to peace than to listen to some trippy music and just jam on my bongoes...
I am active in politics... I believe in anarchy and a truly free society, and I suppose almost all humans are incapable of handling true freedom, but, hell, I'll live the way I want and try to shake shit up and maybe one day we'll have a little more harmony, no?
Anarchy, love, peace, harmony, idealism. That's where it's at man.
I am a very prolific writer; at the time I am writing this I have uploaded 109 separate fics. To help you choose which ones to read... look at the dates that they were uploaded.
You see, I've been on Fanfiction since 1999, when I'd just begun 7th grade... and I uploaded the myriad stories that I'd written in the 5th and 6th grades. They were good stories for someone of my age, and fuckin' weird too... but I don't think that you would enjoy them so much as my other stories.
Recently I've been writing a lot of poetry... I'll prolly upload it in big chunks, there are lots of them... check some of em out, you know?
And, please, after you read it leave me a review. I love to get reviews... it brightens my day. Even if it is a bad review, I would love to hear your reasons as to why you think it is bad. I like criticism... it helps shape me into a better person.
I like praise just the same. I suppose I'm somewhat of an egotist... so forgive me if I am ever prone to harangue or if I seem to think too highly of myself... that's just the way I am sometimes.
Well, shit, I'd rather you read my stories than my profile... so scroll down now, man, pick something that strikes you...
Oh yeah, I just thought I'd mention, just out of spite, that many of my poems have been deleted recently by the fanfiction.net administration. Claimed they were vulgar. I remember when fanfiction did not delete something based on anything of that sort... those good old days. I guess things are different now. Anyway, I'm making a website for my own poetry... should be able to post it soon, I'd just as soon direct you there when it's up...
