@RiaZ: I know the feeling of not finding anyone. I have one friend who writes on occasion, but she’s overwhelmed with work, home, and family most of the time, so we don’t really get a chance to talk, much less exchange work.
I used to work at a Wal-Mart that sat at the junction of two county lines and three cities. It was always fun to explain to people our postal address.
On the sci-fi front, I’ve been reading sci-fi since I was ten or eleven (Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, Tad Williams to name a few), and I write fanfiction for a space opera anime from the 70s-80s–even won a few contests in the fanfic community (One of my winners: Heartless) I’ve got a crazy week ahead, but if you’re up for someone perusing the draft on down the road, I’d be interested.
