I have been wanting to write reviews and blogs and such for some time. I got the itch originally from reading my first issue of Fangoria. I thought, "That's the way to be. Write about stories and share them with the world." Easier than writing your own, though I am trying that too.
I want especially to find lesser-known, or unknown stories and tell you about them. Maybe you'll like them. My true passion in life is stories. You can learn a lot about people from the stories they tell and the way they tell them. What details they find important, what virtues they hold dear, what they think is interesting. I enjoy cheesy movies as much as I enjoy good ones. I can enjoy a game that brings something different to the table even if it has many other flaws. Sure, a very well made game is more enjoyable, but there is something about a flawed story that has a special spark that attracts me. Perhaps it's my own image of myself reflecting back at me. A deeply flawed and imperfect man with a story to share. Maybe the story has something special that resonates with the audience, hopefully it's still an enjoyable tale, big ugly hairy storyteller and all.
Got a bit introspective there didn't I? I'm glad to see you're still here. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I hope I'm unique. I hope that my ideas and observations are at least slightly new. Maybe even original. I hope you enjoy them. I hope that we can learn about each other through these stories, and maybe even be friends. I'll try to share humor and objectivity in almost equal measures. I'll find some stinkers to laugh with you about, and I'll find some rough gems tool. I hope you'll be there to share them with. My fourth child will be born soon, and you may see little of me in the near future, during a season that's important to me and the stories I like to share, but I hope you can forgive my absences and be there when I'm back, ready to share more stories and share more ideas about stories.
At your service,
Stephen "Shadowdancer21b".
