I realize I haven't posted here yet, and so… Here I am.
My name's John. I joined… I think in October 2014, prepared a story in the sandbox, got it ripped to shreds (quite rightly), and left for a bit.
Then, I saw the reimagining contest, and, inspired, wrote It's Just A Dream. It performed decently, and I started getting out more stories, writing SCP-2289, The Devils' Eyes, and SCP-2460, the Dark Satellite. So I've got a number of stories in triage, on the site and off.
I joined because I enjoy writing and wanted someplace to compile my stories and still get actionable feedback—and this place has been great for that.
Outside of writing, I'm a trained bioengineer and financial analyst, an ordained minister, a wine collector, a patron of ballet… I get involved in stuff. Feel free to ask me if you need someone to bounce ideas off, checks for scientific accuracy (I can handle biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, whatever), or if you just want to talk. It's all good.
So great to meet everyone!
