NAME: Jack
AGE: 66
INTERESTS & HOBBIES: I'm a lifelong geek and have been a fan of superheroes and sci-fi/fantasy for decades before it was cool. Marvel & DC - both movies and the TV shows. Star Trek, Star Wars, Doctor Who, Stargate, Supernatural.

I'm not, however, a reader of fanfiction or someone who 'ships'

I'm a voracious reader and love science fiction and detective novels - favourite authors include Michael Connelly, Dan Brown, Arthur C Clark, Isaac Asimov and Robert A. Heinlein

I love classical music and opera, and have recently started listening to some jazz.

I dabble in various hobbies and pastimes. I'm thinking of doing some form of study in psychology or philosophy. I enjoy DIY, fishing, gardening, RAF history, football and astronomy

LOOKING FOR: People to chat to about sci-fi, superheroes, music, books, geekiness, life... I love talking to people and will happily chat to anyone about anything.
ANYTHING ELSE?: I'm in a poly triad with my wife and our girlfriend. I have a grown son from my first marriage. I love to fly. My favourite food is roast beef. I can't swim and I wish I could type faster.

Hi! I'm likewise a sci-fi/fantasy fan who doesn't read or write fanfiction, and I'm a semi-professional violist who loves both classical and jazz. Also, I played soccer at university level and have had Sacramento Republic FC season tickets for every year of the club's existence. Who's your club?

Adding and subscribing!

Hi, I'm a 56 year old divorced librarian in New York City who's into science fiction and fantasy. I have a 28 year old married daughter, two cats, and a turtle. I'm going to add you, hope you reciprocate.

Harlan Corbin's books are a really cool read. :)

Hello!

[ysabetwordsmith]

It sounds like we have a lot in common. I liked Frodo before liking Frodo was cool. :D I post a lot of F&SF, along with whatever else catches my eye. You might like my original superhero series, Polychrome Heroics. (There's a lot of it. I recommend exploring when you have at least a few hours to kill, as readers have described my writing as "flypaper for eyeballs.") I encourage you to drop by my blog and see if you like it.

Hi from Canada. I thought I was the oldest person here. Nice to see other mature users.

Hi there, apologies for the delay in replying to you, it's been a crazy few months and I'm just getting back online. I sometimes feel like I'm the oldest person on the internet!
