| I'm John Porter, author of the world-famous StarStrikers novels. What's that you say? StarStrikers hasn't even made it into print yet? Damn. Well, bear that in mind for future reference, anyway.
So as is befitting of a person in the position I'd like to be in, I write. After undertaking a major reworking of my first manuscript in 2006 and having my agent unsuccessfully attempt to hook me up with a publisher in 2007, this year I'll be self-publishing the StarStrikers novels. I'm also a fairly decent artist in my not-so-humble opinion, and in 2005 my doodles were put into print for the first time.
My day job is in IT, though I look at it as a sideline while I work on my writing, which I consider my true career. I also recently completed the first year of an Open University course in German. Did I mention I idolise Asuka Langley Sohryu and model myself after her? No? What's that, you say? You don't know who that is? Feh. If you don't know, you don't need to know. | Gender | Age | | | Male | 28 |  | | Last Active | Profile Views | | 1 day | 87 times |  | | Relationship Status | | | Single | |  | | John Porter's URL | | http://www.bebo.com/asukasboy |  | | Member Since | | | August 2007 | |
John Porter says: "Book 1 progress report up now at http://www.starstrikers.com/?p=106 !" (6 days ago) me too! | | Music | | Lots of 1980s stuff and also 1990s. Generally I would say my tastes range from what you might consider MOR or naff (Swing Out Sister) through to the more contemporary (JAY-Z IS GOD!!!1!) and a little bit of everything inbetween. I have more Madonna albums in my music collection than any straight guy really should, which is to say I have EVERY Madonna album. Other stuff I listen to regularly: Kanye West, Linkin Park, movie and anime soundtracks, both Jacksons (Michael and Janet), Prince, Sheryl Crow, Chaka Khan, The Go-Go's, Belinda Carlisle, all kinds of stuff. I carry at least one MP3 player with me everywhere and legitimately have withdrawl symptoms if I have to travel without one. |  | | Films | | I never have time to watch many movies. All time favourite = Kiki's Delivery Service, with an honourable mention to both Ghostbusters movies and both the 1986 and 2007 Transformers movies. |  | | Sports | | Pro Wrestling, if that counts. Which I'm not entirely convinced it does. |  | | Scared Of | | Nothing! |  | | Happiest When | | Writing. And if you could get me a Pepsi while I'm writing, that would be great. |  |
