Hello Fellow Writers!
Hello everyone.

Er, not really sure what to say in the intro, but you guys and girls can call me MLH for short. Writing is a hobby and pastime for me, a way to kind of "vent" and just let out my feelings. I've written quite a few stories and passages on CoDZ (Call of Duty Zombies forum) and they seem to enjoy my stories fair enough.

In terms of authors and books, I fairly enjoy science fiction and fantasy. Some authors I have aspired to write like include Andy Remic, Eric Nylund, and David Drake. Bookwise? Hammer's Slammers, the Combat-K series, and especially, especially the Halo books. I also enjoy many a fan-fiction.

free_cashews_on_me and Ehjookayted brought me to join the site, and I thank them for that. They are both extraordinary writers, and they think I'm a very good writer. In turn, they are so much better than me in so many ways.

All in all, I hope to improve my writing greatly from joining this site, and getting feedback from the users.


See y'all around,

-MLH out!
