Everything you need to know about me can be found in the first paragraph of my About Me story:
I was born 9 months after Star Wars premiered in 1977, which naturally suggests my mom’s womb quickened on its own after she saw the film. I get it—these movies make me feel things too. I learned about all the gender parts in health class but they neglected to teach us how babies are really made.
Me, in a nutshell:
✅ Star Wars
✅ Writer
✅ Does not take anything seriously
That's the flavor you'll get following me. A pro writer who thinks too much about pop culture and brings the funny.
If you need, like, credentials or something before handing out a follow—I am a fantasy & sci-fi author (read: nerd) who has mostly stopped writing books in favor of articles about movies and TV. I've been published at /Film, Den of Geek, The Gamer, and Superjump Magazine. I quit freelancing for reasons. (Fine, since you insist on prying into my personal business: outlets claim all story rights for ever and ever, in exchange for a few hundred bucks, which is not the best deal; I'd rather own my stuff in perpetuity.)
I am the proprietor of All the Fanfare. The elevator pitch is the "Wait But Why of Pop Culture". Or, if I've been drinking: "Bill Simmons writes Wait But Why." I also have a popular Substack.
I'm the founder of Fanfare, which is the largest pop culture publication hosted on Medium. Our stories are regularly boosted and featured on Medium's home page. The CEO is even a big fan. True story!
