From the writing team of Pharoah and yours truly ... the online magazine Another Realm is publishing one of our short stories in March. Our first publication. Woohoo!

AnthonyHJ:
I'm a videogame writer and lecturer on videogame narrative. I have been called a transmedia artist, but my current skillset is more 'narrative designer' in all honesty.
My published works are a little eclectic - I'm a contributing writer on a few text-books for distance-learning courses and used by UK universities, technical writer on a few others, narrative designer on one published videogame (I was a writer, games designer and external writer liaison on that one), narrative designer on one more still waiting to be released, writer on two other unreleased games...
Oh... and my first novel (mercifully written under a pseudonym) was romance... I was a teenage goth, it seemed like a good idea at the time, and then a small publisher got hold of it.
I am currently working on a short story for a steampunk compilation getting released in September while the studios are taking a break and there's little or no freelance writing work to be had, but I also have a novel that keeps stalling. I keep meaning to get an agent, but I want to get a 'real' novel ready to do the rounds before I start bothering agencies.
I originally trained in the theatre, learning everything from lighting and carpentry to iambic pentameter and stage-combat. I was a playwright, an actor, a director and stage-manager. I have been an artistic director and I have been the guy sweeping the stage at the end of the show. I was also stabbed in the nuts once when a sword-fight went wrong, but since I was the fight-director, that was probably my fault...
The greatest impediment to my writing is probably Harry Dresden; I keep reading when I should be writing, but I am about 80% of the way through Turn Coat and so I will soon be able to get some work done.

AnthonyHJ, you sound like my male counterpart. Which is kind of scary. Good luck on the novel.
Heartsonycgr:
I've had a varied range of publishing experiences: scientist and researcher since 1986 and have published many original scientific articles reporting on my research, edited scientific books and authored chapters in scientific books; edited and authored articles in a newsletter for a volunteer organization I co-founded in 1988; published in the County newspaper in high school.
I really love writing and reading....but what I've never done, and would love to do, is write fiction...not sure I have the capacity for it...am thinking of writing about one of my special rescue dogs, Micro, rescued from a puppy mill (?Marley been there done that crosses my mind) and a fictionalized story based on some of the interesting people and experiences I've encountered (a la "House of God" by Samuel Shem, the novel upon which St. Elsewhere TV show is loosely based), or, perhaps, medical-science fiction (as they say, write what you know about...). Anhoooo, maybe when I retire....

Pharaoh and I just had our first publication, a short story up at AnotherRealm. I keep going back to the site and staring in disbelief ... it doesn't seem real!
