A Long List of Writing Credits

Education

I specialised in Screenwriting in my Film and Video Degree between 2009 - 2012.

TheSixthAxis

Between 2008 - 2010 I was a Senior Writer for TheSixthAxis, Europe’s largest independent video gaming website.

From gaming news to opinion, the style was informal and aimed at European gamers.

I focused heavily on ‘Playstation Home’ - Sony’s 2010 version of the Metaverse. I was frequently posting updates about the virtual spaces that many users were flocking to, including the Alternative Reality Game ‘Xi’ that merged the boundaries between Home and the real world.

The Question Mark

This is a 43,000 word fan fiction based on the worldwide acclaimed ‘Metal Gear Solid’ game series from Hideo Kojima.

With over 65,000 views, it’s one of the Top 20 Most Followed Metal Gear Fan Fictions of All Time.

The story follows the main character Solid Snake as he wakes up in the past, with his friends and foes all acting strangely.

The tone is very dark, with characters remembering how they died. This leads to some violent alternatives and psychotic breakdowns - all while playing into the themes of the original series.

I also posted the story on TheSixthAxis on a weekly basis, picking up many more thousands of reads.
