Well, to me spamming something means rapidly posting the same message endlessly to annoy people. I didn't think creating a new thread would be considered excessive. Anyway, at first I thought it was because my post wasn't directly "about Portal" but since it's the email that seemed to have been the snag, I have my answer now. So PM me then.

You can feel free to post it back up.

There are spambots that try to register and post up links to websites or emails, for who knows what purpose. Normally it is a wham-bam-gtfo like you can see on the Ban page. Like I said, I thought you were one of them but I wasn't sure since, yeah, you weren't actually spamming anything.

Actually, I did. Vampires short stories count, as well as contests I won. Ironically, the vampire thing actually started as a HL2 mod design document. Sadly, the mod fell through and never saw the light of day so I turned them into short stories, where they found their home.

But being published isn't necessarely a proof of anything in particular (though it's a dreamy icing on an already sweet cake and I'm glad I got it!) Suffice to say I'm not some kid who dreams up dungeons in his basement. I'm 31 years old, I work in video games for a living and apparently I'm good enough as a writer to be given contracts and earn money off of what I do so if that's worth anything to someone, drop me a line.

Speaking of which, back on topic, here's my address again, with permission of the admins. Sorry for all the confusion.

...but you wish you'd have more solid stuff. To name a (very) few :

Equinoxe
Trente ans de métier
ISBN : 2-9807342-4-1
http://www.6brumes.com/?page_id=43

Contest in this one :
Solaris #163
ISSN : 0709-8863
http://www.revue-solaris.com/apropos/english.htm
http://www.revue-solaris.com/numero/2007/163.htm


And a million other stuff. Don't worry, I slightly know what I'm doing. Wait till you hear the new lines I wrote for the AI.

Crap, now we need a sound engineer and voice actor. Smile

OH! Simon, you say you wrote a vampire story for a hl2 mod. did you write for vampire slayers (I loved that game). We would always play lan, I loved being a vampire cause I always managed to get 20 year old people screaming like little girls... haha (i'd run in really fast cloaked, uncloak stab someone and jump run away)
