Heya, like Katie I'm a mod from Authonomy scoping the net for new stomping grounds. I'm more Fantasy and Sci-Fi inclined than most, but I love to dabble into other genres for personal betterment. My current major project is a portal fantasy series. The first book of which I've completed (Two Destroyers) and another I recently finished the first draft (Kingless Country). Unlike most aspiring Fantasy authors, my goal is for each book to completely stand on their own legs and write them so people that read them out of order get a different experience than series veterans.

First Draft Complete @ 150k words / Polishing Dimanagul.com

Welcome aboard, Eric! I also tend to be more about the SciFi and Fantasy genres. It will be great to interact with you going forward.

Hi Eric. Welcome to Today's Author. I lean sci-fi myself, though recently I'd say I lean toward light-sci-fi.

Fantasy is my main bag, but the last two years I've participated in Nanowrimo (and I plan to make this year my third.) I've had some marginal sucess with superhero novels. It's nice to write urban sci-fi after writing primarily sword and sorcery.

Hi Eric! Currently, I'm writing an apocalyptic series geared toward the young adult market, but I tend to run all over the speculative fiction map with my interests. Welcome to the board!
