Hey, nice of you to join us!

This is why most of my things are written in the real world. It makes things...simpler, though a story I've been writing about an alien invasion got shafted a few months ago when Russia invaded Ukraine...

The horror story I'm writing is a hybrid of a bunch of different things, including some Resident Evil fanfiction I wrote back when I was in high school in the 1880s. It's also got elements of HP Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos, but several characters are analogs of people from Another, which I'm not terribly proud of. Still, there are enough differences between Dark Theology and Another I think I can say, at most, it's a loose inspiration (for one thing, there really is someone causing the catastrophe that's befallen this town in Colorado, and it's far more sinister and far older than anyone realizes). I'm not sure how receptive people will be toward a story where high school students kill each other (though it's more like the entire town goes nuts and starts killing everyone), and I have the devil of a time finding people who'll read my writing, but I can't help myself.

How long have you been writing? I've been at it off and on since about 2006, so a while, though I didn't really get serious until 2008. How about you?
