: Anyway, Scifiteki - your fiction pieces are IMO the most original, unusual

: to your head), and I would like to read some of your more
: "normal" work. Do you have a website set up with your stuff?
There is my Fictionpress site Which has a fair bit there. Unfortunately, two of my recent stories - including one of equal length to In Your Nature - have been written in the real world, and I haven't been able to bring myself to rewrite them yet.
Since you might all find this interesting, the story was originally a much more realistic piece, with the same characters (well, character. : )) and locations. That was about a year ago, and I wrote about two-three pages before grinding into a corner, and it langiushed in my burgeoning "Unfinished/Never To Be Complete" folder (I can't throw away ANYTHING, see). Then I came back to the idea when I decided to get back into, well, everything, and rewrote it how it is now. I have great difficulty writing straight realism, especially back then, and I've only recently figured out how to use more direct settings without becoming frustrated.
Yup. So that's my little pretentious rant about writing.
