I'm gonna ask a Sep question that I know most of you motherfuckers are gonna answer because it's about how you write. And some of you seem to love doing that more than actually fucking writing your posts. 

[b]What creator or piece of media directly influences your stories and characterizations for this game?[/b]

The answer doesn't have to be comic book related, but who or what do you draw the most inspiration from when you're writing? Is it a TV show, a certain writer's run on a comic book, maybe a movie or book series? What of the previously mentioned things influences you the most when you sit down to actually write?

Brian Jacques and Timothy Zahn are definitely huge influences for my writing. To a lesser extent I would also attribute some of it to J.K. Rowling, Tolkien and Kevin J. Anderson.

However I also draw on movies and television with a lot of my arcs starting with my version of a 'Cold Open'. Crime dramas in particular favour this approach. Smallville, Star Trek, Veronica Mars, the Arrowverse, Grimm, Angel and Firefly all heavily influence the way I write my stories and build my worlds. 

Obviously as mentioned above, Star Wars also plays a part in my inspiration and for this character in particular and a lot of other recent superhero jaunts, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a big source of inspiration.

I'm sure there's plenty more I can think of but off the top of my head there it is.
