H.L. Fullerton writes fiction—mostly speculative, occasionally about other universes; tends towards the apocalyptic; likes semi-colons and the occasional interrobang; verbs nouns; occasionally indulges in run-on sentences; might be in trouble with prepositions; uses words instead of emoticons; believes apostrophes are commas gone wild; can't remember what goes here; saves dangling participles (sometimes); and binge reads while watching television.
