Hello, my name is batzulger (Hi batzulger) and I'm a writeaholic. I got started late in the fanfic game and only began in 2009. Since then I've written over a million and a half words of exceptionally dubious quality. My main claim to even more exceptionally dubious fame, is that I write fast and update at what most people think is a ridiculous rate. I wound up on this board because I loved reading Bob's stories. This went on for quite a while and then I realized there was a forum attached. I went there to see what I could see, and was stupified to find people actually reading the crap I write. Now considering I write a specific subset of fanfic (Buffy-crossovers), really only post to one site (Twisting the Hellmouth), do not have a blog, twitter, livejournal, wordpress, patreon, facebook, or any other social media and actively don't ask for reviews...I was really surprised that people outside of a small sphere of site members actually read any of it.
First then, thanks to all of you. I never expected it to be read by more than ten or twenty people ever.
Second, I write to get the words out of my head. Not a muse or a higher calling to produce art. Just an occasionally overwhelming urge to write. I write in the browser window on TTH, and give my stuff a very limited spelling and grammar pass. Yes I know tha's not professional, but I'm a technical documentation writer and editor in my day job and I honestly can't be assed to do it on writing I do for fun. Yes I can separate my work and my not-work that decisively. I telecommute full-time so I usally write between editing passes of my real job (see also the reason I really don't edit my fiction much) just to clear my head.
Third, I love the Drunkard's Walk and really appreciate the new stories I've found through this forum.
and Fourth and Finally, I do weird crossovers, cannot not stand Xander being anything other but a normal but dedicated human, hate Yet Another Halloween Fics (it's a lazy way to do a crossover and it shows), and have an unhealthy obsession with TV science fiction -- the more obscure the better.
