About me: 

hi hi hi there my fellow droogies, are we ready for a bit of the Ultra-Violence? I've written since i was 9 but didn't start reading (books, i read comic books) until i was 18 with Lord of the Rings and that changed everything. I really don't like pretentious writing, (artsy fartsy crap that you can't tell what is going on because its so far up its own ass with messages and deeper meaning) so you will find none of that here. Prefer a minimalist style with embellishments on the darkside of humor usually mocking everyday things that most people don't think about. Grew up on sci-fi and would consider it my forte. I like reading about nasty things that most people shy away from. If that interests you at all i suggest throwing a short story of yours on "Coming to terms with Boredom!"
I think the most bad ass character would be a Predator Jedi.

No reason why 1 genre can't have all genre's.
