Author biography Writing is only one hobby Gordon pursues. On top of putting out the occasional piece of fiction he is a Co-Director for an Anime Convention (Nan Desu Kon based in Denver Colorado if you have to know). He also dabbles in graphic art and design and has designed a CD cover for a fellow writer and friend. His website is maintained for his own personal amusement and manages to contain more content than supposedly serious site, go figure there. He is also an avid gamer, as a result his gaming exploits feed his writing and his writing feeds gaming ideas, it's a nasty circle of creativity. The guy also spends long periods of time on sleep deprivation which goes a long way to explaining a thing or two about him. About the story "Personal Wars" Personal Wars was written initially as a simple character background and a map of the persona, at the time I was using the character in a Sci-Fi RPG with a decidedly dark twist. I've always seen Cyberpunk writing as an exploration of the darker side of people's psyches and watching reactions to some very not nice things - while traditional fiction has a habit of putting a nice happy coating over thing CP tends to have darker or less fortunate endings. With Personal Wars I wanted to capture the mind of someone who really only lived to do one thing - fight wars. While most CP focuses on the setting as it's defining source I wanted to capture the feel of the grit in a different setting from the traditional near-future and anti-utopia. I also wanted to show that a good story could be written without some kind of Universe Altering change taking place, either inside the character or out - sometimes things just happen and people move on. I hope I succeeded in doing something close to that. About "Test Post" The entire thing was almost a fluke.. some posts weren't getting through to the Group online for some people (Usenet does this from time to time) and the first Test Post was thrown out there to see who got the message and responded. It was done in a poem/prose format and a whole bunch of us (three actually) responded in the same format. We had fun with it and somewhere down the line in the producion of the anthology one of said we should put it up as the only group effort from a group project.. there ya have that.
