At last I manage to post something
Hi everyone,

I've been lurking around for a while, since the whole Strange Chemistry open submission thing in fact. But I only just managed to join the site a couple of weeks ago and only now am I getting around to posting an introduction.

I've been writing bits and pieces on and off for years, but mostly getting nowhere. Just lately I wrote some background and short fiction bits for a roleplaying game called Broken Rooms, and I also submitted my five chapters to Strange Chemistry and got a request for full after many long tense months.

Now distracting myself by writing a post-apocalyptic nightmare thing for nanowrimo and not thinking about my other manuscript at all, not remotely, not now, not ever...

:-o
