Hi, folks.

I'm looking for a writing buddy or two to trade drafts with, talk technique, and help stay motivated. I'll graduate to SYW eventually, but for now I'd be more comfortable workshopping in a more limited environment.

My stories tend to be light sci-fi/speculative, usually with a strong attempt at humor. Someday I hope to publish an collection called "A Long Way to Go for a Dick Joke." I'd like to find a buddy with thick skin and similar sensibilities.

Please reply here or by PM if this sounds at all interesting to you.

I don't have anything to trade with you, but I do like sci-fi tales with a humorous slant.

What kind of beta-reading are you looking for? Something completely honest, or maybe a bit sugar-coated? (Hey, no shame in the latter as long as a person's honest about it.)

If you're up for it, you can PM me an rtf attachment of one of your stories. I'll read it, see if I like your style, and if so, we can go from there.
