Hey there, I'm Andy and I'm from New Zealand. Hrmm where to start. I like to read (every now and then), play video games and chat with people online. I wouldn't exactly say that I'm a writer (as I haven't written anything in a year) though I can't deny the fact that I have an interest in creative writing lol.

The genre that I have the most interest in would probably be fantasy, because I like to be able to experience other societies and worlds to not only escape from the same old routines of real life, but to understand and appreciate the reasons as to why the author chose to write that particular story in a speculative world and what ramifications it implies.

I believe myself to be a fair and honest critiquer. When I critique, I pretty much focus more on the overall picture and what the author is trying to do rather than just nit-picks (I'm terrible at nit picks lol). I'm quite blunt and harsh and I'll pretty much say whatever's on my mind (with reason of course lol I don't want to offend people as I truly want to be able to help them out).

Anyways, that's all I have to say for now. Hope you'll all welcome me lol.

Andy.
