Didn't want to start a thread as that would seem a little hey look at me, so I suppose those of you who read this thread will see this and that's probably enough for me. Behind the terrible spelling, ignorance of grammar and general dross of my posting here is actually a somewhat enthusiastic writer. I write pieces for my university paper etc and some stuff for one or two other small publications. I have over the last 8 months written about half a novel. I have showed it to one or two close friends who are of course obligated to tell me it is fantastic.

I was hoping to send it to one person from here that I do not know and hence would give me a honest personal appraisal. It would really help if you are an avid reader particulalrly if you read across a range of books and are not just a sci fi novel junkie. Not that there is anything wrong with that, I've done some Pratchett but I would like a wide reader if possible.

I appreciate this is a long self involved post and in reality offers nothing to the forum and I do apologise for that. If there is anybody who might be interested just let me know here or via pm. Apologies for being that chap who made you read through those three paragraphs and left you bored, unfulfilled and feeling cheapened!
