I am Dante, a scholar, writer and atheist. I  mostly write fantasy, but I can write sci-fi. I am currently writing a novel called Death and Brimstone, which has several POV characters and is set in my world of Astagar, in the continent of Kith, primarily taking place in the country of Kurai. It's really a combination of Japanese and English influences.

I dislike low-fantasy and other-world-beyond-our own type fiction, simply because those just seem stupid to me. I am however a fan of High-Fantasy, such as the works of Tolkien and George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series.
I firmly aware of the tendencies to drift towards cliche writing in my particular genre of writing, and well I may use some cliches, I tend to try and flip them on their heads. Elves, for example, are myths in my book, never actually existing. Original product is what most people want ( I think).

I'm sixteen and in Junior Year

Tv shows i like: The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, and Dexter And Star Trek.

Video Games I Like: The Walking Dead S1 and S2, Wolf Among Us, Skyrim, Oblivion, Morrowind, Dark souls, Mass Effect, Dragon age, DayZ, Fallout 3 and NV, GTAV, The Stanley Parable, Fable, and Dishonored.

Books I like: ASOIAF!!, 1984, Animal Farm, LOTR!!!, The First Law trilogy (listening to The Blade Itself audiobook), Stormlight Archive (on TWoK) lord of the flies, Fahrenheit 451, Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, The Wheel Of Time, 2001 a space odyssey.

Works:Death and Brimstone
