History
- Writes horror stories -
"The only reason people go looking for what I write is if they don't want to sleep" - Doesn't sleep much himself - drinks coffee
Impressions
- Threat Level: UNSURE
- Working on a story where a small group goes camping in the mountains and gets picked off one at a time - sounds like something Drosselmeyer would get a kick out of!
- Strangely-printed writing!
- "And stay away from the dialogue. Nobody ever speaks in perfect grammar. Especially not people scared out of their minds"
- "I have faith that the world would continue to be be incomprehensible regardless of language. Stories have to make sense, history doesn't give a damn"
- Stories are tools - "they're as much histories as the lunchbox is my lunch"
- "If I'm in a story and I know things the author doesn't, then the history is just a story in the story. And with a little luck, from the outside, my story is part of history"
Weaknesses
- Standard human, with the standard human squishiness
Scabs
- What does he like to write when he's not writing horror?
- Is he fictionally away?
Opportunities
- He could teach me a bit about writing, it's true
