While I suppose my works aren't exactly fan fiction, they are heavily influenced by and include a lot of references to various mythological and classical literature, pop culture and other fictional mediums, including H.P. Lovecraft, Hellboy, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Neal Stephenson's work (especially Cryptonomicon), G.I. Joe, Dracula, Frankenstein, Graham Hancock's historical research in Fingerprints of the Gods, Dante's Inferno, Milton's Paradise Lost, Edgar Allen Poe's excellent The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket, H.G. Welles' works, Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Jeff Long's Year Zero, Max Brooks' World War Z and The Zombie Survival Guide, The X-Files, the Indiana Jones franchise, Michael Crichton's Timeline, The Venture Brothers (and to a lesser extent, even though it's a heavy influence on the show, Johnny Quest), the Aliens franchise, the Predator franchise, the Terminator franchise, Night of the Living Dead, elements from Marvel comics such as Weapon-X & S.H.I.E.L.D. and classic Universal Monsters movies, as well as whatever else strikes my fancy.

Aside from my writing, I occupy my time with my cats (there are five of them), collecting G.I. Joes, reading books, military history, and waiting for the eventual collapse of society.
