Struggling writer. I should be writing a crime novel, but I keep being sidetracked...

So, basically, I like my (anti) heroes a bit dark and damaged. (And, er, occasionally undead. Or alien.) And yeah, they should shoot first. Preferably accompanied by a cool one-liner. The AnJLverse is a place where the good guys wear browncoats. And as far as I am concerned, vampires don't glitter.

The motto of the AnJLverse - 'I Deny Your Reality, And Write My Own'.

"There are two kinds of folks who sit around thinking about how to kill people. Psychopaths and mystery writers." - Richard Castle

"Two things that matter to me. Emotional resonance and rocket launchers" - Joss Whedon

"Many suffer from the incurable disease of writing, and it becomes chronic in their sick minds" - Juvenal

"Write for the world to read and see yr exact pictures of it" - Kerouac

"Writing is a solitary occupation. Family, friends and society are the natural enemies of the writer. (S)he must be alone, uninterrupted, and slightly savage if (s)he is to sustain and complete an undertaking." - Jessamyn West

Other major influences - Neil Gaiman, William Gibson, Terry Pratchett... But really, my 'Memory Palace' is more like Arkham Asylum. Every book or graphic novel I've read, every film or tv show I've seen - it's all fair game once it goes through the portals. Of course, if anyone is following my thought processes and getting all the jokes, well, then you really need to get out more. Or drop me an e-mail. Me and the little voices are always happy to chat...
