I'm an old male droid.
I write fiction and non-fiction. The fiction here is fantasy and SF, ranging from flash to novella length. Most months I have a short story in @Ooorah 's Tevun-Krus. My non-fiction is my Idiot's Guide to Line Editing, which is how I'm learning to edit. I want to make you a better writer! And, as a side effect, me.
Everything here is mature in that it features adult themes like tax forms, ennui, swearing, irony and some mild violence; but there is no horror, extreme violence or, you know, fluids. I find it hard to write without putting jokes in; occasionally I succeed.
Maketh Glad is featured on the SF ambassador's page; River Ghasts is featured on the fantasy ambassador's page.
I have a novel written but not yet edited. I'm hoping to self-publish that on Amazon before the year is out. It's a bit more adult than my stuff here, but I'm really happy with it.
I don't know who BTS are. I don't want to, either.
