I'm a soon-to-be college student with Aspberger's syndrome. Not that it's a problem.
It's a funny story about what my goals used to be: Before, I unrealistically believed that I'd receive fame and fortune in an instant with no planning whatsoever, and being able to run an international tech corporation called GMXT Industries, otherwise known as Greg Marshall's Xcellent Technologies. Finally, years later, my dad helped me change that idea to go into a game mod instead, and thus my current creative works began. The main story series I've been revising now simply details the adventures of an alternate version of myself in a future that won't happen. My writing style began by doing that risky attempt at plagiarizing other people's characters and merging them into my own fictional world, with said alter-ego in charge. From there on, I learned most of the rules of copyright, and have been working to fix these flawed stories into my own things entirely.
Writing aside, I also draw and color pictures to follow alongside them. I excel in perspective and intricate (sometimes too intricate) detail on machines and backgrounds. Painting is a bit harder for me, but doing outlines on the canvas to start it off helps. Recently, I've even done videos on YouTube, though mainly I do that as a means to demonstrate my knack for identifying parallels in most everything, Copyright or no Copyright. And now I'm planning on developing game mods for the Source engine, some simple crossovers (3), others complete games of my stories, pictures, and other works all in one, the largest to be simply called "G.M.X.T.".
My hobbies mainly center around the computer, which is the source of all this stuff, of course. I use pen and paper to fill in notebooks for the stories, and a clipboard with copy paper for the drawings. In spring and summer, I like to play basketball, though allergies and distraction almost always interfere with that.
Interests: Futuristic technology, science fiction, and sometimes here transformation and rubber images. So it might be a fetish, big deal. The Autism has led to a long list of obsessions from a lot of computer games and tv shows. Interestingly, they all involved some form of technology. Safecracker because I liked to study the puzzles, Star Wars because I started liking robots, OBSIDIAN because of the machinery, and so on and so on.
