Silly title aside, what are everyone's aspirations in life? Or what is it you're doing job wise currently? Right now, I'm just a random college student getting my degree in graphic design. My latest career move has been working at the local casino. Anyway, my future career goal is obviously to become a somewhat successful designer... making logos for companies, designing product packaging, things like that. But my real goal, my true desire, would be designing movie posters, album art, and t-shirts. How about you?

Well, first of all, I never want to grow up! But, I wish to become a working actor/filmmaker.
Wish me luck, eh?

I'm currently working in a fraud department helping to catch fraudulent solicitors, which is interesting, but my real aspiration is to become a writer. Have a few things on the go at the minute and i've submitted a few things (but so far unsuccessfully) to a few competitions. Working on a large piece for the robert heinlein competition which is due in June. Living in Scotland for I think is a great place to work with such a rich literary history (excluding JK Rowling's drivellings of course).

If you ever wish to share any of your writings with us here, you'd certainly have an audience with me in the front row, Steve.
Do you incorporate any of your fraud-catching job into your stories?

I have an interest in Photography. I hope to be a film photographer or a landscape photographer. I have some of my work posted on MySpace and my best work in video forms on YouTube. My photography teacher is taking my portfolio and submitting it into a competition.

I'm a short movie maker, actor and script writer. I'm trying to get better, hoping to find more people to work on projects with.

Hell...I am 35 and still am working on what I want to be.
I've had so many aspirations over the years it's crazy. I really wanted to be a filmmaker, but couldn't afford college. Went to Broadcasting School...and worked in that field for a number of years, was in Entertainment Retail Management for several years...and I've now been in the Health Care field for a decade.
But, if I had to choose what I'd love to do with my life...I'd be a professional musician (I write original music and play the dulcimer) or a professional medium (don't laugh please). I've been reading for people for 17 years...but have never had the guts to jump out and try to make a living out of it. It's something I truly love and feel passionate about.
35...God, I'm so old.

I don't put any fraud catching stuff into my stories, although I might in the future. I will post some of my writings in the future. My latest phan fiction is on the back burner at the mo as I'm concentrating on some other things, but I will post as soon as I can get it done. I'll maybe post a teaser Mirai, I'd be interested in reading anything you have done. I love reading how other people's styles vary and this is a great place to get feedback.

In all seriousness since I won't become a horse anytime soon unless I can uncover some magic, I'd like to be a writer/director. I'd obviously hang around the horror department & try to churn out some old school horror sans CGI. I'd be all about practical & mechanical effects since they seem to be a lot more genuine that CGI. More DIY too.
I wouldn't mind having a hand in making an old school action flick either with many elements from the 1980s.

Haven't yet ready any of your stuff mirai, but did skim your material and reviews. That's a great website you write on. I think it's wonderful to have a community that can provide you with good feedback and such.
Cool stuff!
