The Vern is in the house!

[The Vern]

Most people call me The Vern (or Vern for short). I started writing horror stories, poetry etc when I was around 9. Having recently turned 29, my outlook on life and the horror scene in general has changed.

I now run an online community for alternate, dark writers and artists at www.purpleverse.com and also edit the magazine Sinfully Twisted (www.sinfully-twisted.com).

I guess I'm here to network, get to know some new people outside of my own community. The greatest thing in the world is the written word, especially when it's your own that inspires others.

I look forward to getting to know you.
Vern.

Welcome to HDC Vern.

[The Vern]

Thanks for the kind welcomes. Appologies if my intro was deemed as spam, looking back can kinda see it now. Sorry, was not the intention.

Am enjoying looking around and will soon be filling out the pages with my mindless words.

Good to be on board! :)

Hello there and be welcome

[Pinheadache]

Here I am... The reckless soul that refreshes the cool embrace of darkness. The free son of The Source who travels the system unbound and unmeasurable. The everlasting strenght wich lies within every human being. The unquestionable truth, that can manage universal energies, with a purpose, the one, the only, ME.

At the risk of being beaten to death for mentioning this, I'm uploading new updates of my horror fiction and some writting colleagues to my website within the next few days.

Anyone who responds to this with SPAM will see it deep fried and served with chips!

[Posher778]

spam

[The Vern]

:p Ok, tonight I am happy.

For a hack that writes very off the wall horror fiction, I'm bloody overjoyed to report I've now sold 500!!! copies of my book "The Enlightened Darkness".

Self published and self promoted, it's received it's fair share of damning and sickening reports BUT for most, they've enjoyed it. Above all, it proves that self publishing CAN work.

I'm in it for the pleasure and not for the money. All that counts for me is a good few hundred people now own a piece of my ass!

Big up the Vern! :D

[The Vern]

:p VERNS SPAM OF THE WEEK :p

For those who enjoy a little sinister bedtime reading, the June edition of www.purpleverse.com is now live.

Featuring new fiction and poetry from around the horror globe you'll be sure to find something there you will like.

And hell yes, I'm prepared for the usual ass kicking for putting this on here but I figure as it's my thread wheres the harm!

Vern.

Thanks! The artwork for issue one was created by Grant Fuhst. I comissioned Grant to create the exclusive art for us but using my face on the main figure. It was a fantastic project and we were very happy.

Issue one has great content but turned out basic due to budget restrictions. Issue Two however was another story. Decent budget and great content.

Issue Three is now under development.

Vern.

Don't want to be rude, but most of us have taken the opportunity to NOT reply to any of your obvious attention sponge spammy posts. Bleh! :rolleyes: Yah yah, I know I responded this time, won't do it again unless you have something interesting to post that is not so self indulgent.
