Any genre that's been around for any significant amount of time - whether it's crime, sci-fi, superhero, or horror - is essentially defined by a series of clichés. The truly great genre writers don't avoid these cliché's, they use them to their advantage, combining the genre's various conventions into a familiar formula that acts as a single blank canvas on which to paint a new, unique tale.

What's up everone? I'm just a 23 year old college graduate of Cal State Northridge in the Spring who likes to write. A lot of what I write is inspired by the great works of George Lucas, Yoshiyuki Tomino, Hideo Kojima, Jason Jones, Gene Roddenberry, Kurt Wimmer, and to a further extent Michael A. Stackpole and Aaron Allston. Without my exposure to theirwork, I probably wouldn't be writing.
Feel free to check out some of my posted stories. I appreciate all feedback and will gladly return any feedback given.
Much thanks to the few people who actually take an interest in my work and offer ways for me to get better, directly and indirectly; Shippo, Chagan, Lucid, Soichiro, Deathworm, Mbwun, Ionlyliveindreams...You guys rock...
I've done a bit of cleaning out on my FP account. I pulled a few stories down, The Negotiator, Evolution, Con Rafale, Cutlass Scourge and Birth of Legends 2. By no means have i scrapped them... but my attention is solely on the Birth of Legends 1 3rd draft and Absence of Valor for the time being.
Works in Progress
Absence of Valor - This is the sequel to the Birth of Legends Trilogy. Knowledge of the trilogy is recommended, but not a necessity. (You're probably asking yourselves: Where are Birth of Legends 2 and 3? If you're curious, and want to be completely filled in, read starting at Chapter 23 of Alpha Squadron COMPLETE.)

Again, special thanks go out to MiroFTW, Chagan and Lucid Psyche. Without them, I'd still be the guy who posted crap like Evolution.
That's it, for now.
