Besides writing fickshun novels, I'm shoulders-deep into the creative arts of le intrawebs, including photos, blogging, and webcomics (be it producing or reviewing). No one was more upset by these developments than I.
Since people actually check this shitty profile, I'll make it sort of coherant and organized for once. I have way too many fucking projects ^.^
All my shit has NSFW overtones, so do both of us a favor and browse at home.
My main URL is the host-and-hub for my projects, offering links, descriptions, and some scattered goodies such as an autobio and 'making of' articles. This or the blog would be good off-myspace bookmarks:
Ma blog, cleverly titled, 'Aarin's Blog,' is the sound-post for everything I do, including ramblings about work, mah webcommax, publishing, and ZOMG nomance. It's updated near daily and gets the wierdest traffic. It's Public as fuck--I really don't hold much back:
Speaking of webcommax, I get half my blog traffic from reviewing other people's bullshit, a project I've been running since Feb 07.' If you're not into the scene, that's cool, since I write it mostly for the community and the individual comickers. Apparently, I've helped some people out, but that's not to say the public can't find a cool project through referral. I'm still working on my Ohayocon Press badge:P Here's that link:
Submit yourselves here, everyone else has @.@
Aarin's Desk started as a webcomic parody/satire, and as such it's remained, albeit elevated in progression from a photo comic about talking beercans to an actual social commentary, or so the reviews have stated. Response, as always, has been polarized between 'omg-genius,' 'I dun get it,' and 'Your ttly siht and I hopes u ded!'
Now Debasement, on the other hand, is totally NSFW (Not Safe for Work) as it critiques the darker parts of the internets, including netspeak, sexuality, and most commonly, enternet pr0n. I could spend more time defending the premise than presenting it, but that'd be a pointless frustration. Yeah, people like this shit too.
I also host a photography gallery, since I am a bit of a shutterbug and did take two years of it way back in the 90's. Even back then, I was big into photomanipulation, so don't be surprised by my rampant use of filters and color-adjustment:
But before any of that, I was a sci-fi writer. I created the Anatali project, set two thousand years in the future, itself some manner of satire on science fiction literature. It was fun world-building the timeline, the political climate, and mostly, the people that would live in a time so far beyond us, but so close to where we're at. I certainly haven't abandoned this project, but consolidating time is always a challenge:
"What do you mean there's moar?" There is. I'm webmastering a writers' site/zine/blog/forums called Locution, along with thirty new, exciting writers. I'm just the webmonkey, since I mostly write longform, so am not suited for short works. The community is knowedgable and supportive, but geared towards serious publication. Smart folks are welcome, writers or not. We like readers too! I'm honored to be in such a position within it:
