Hobbyist writing and short stories; and I'm familiar with tropes from the 00's onwards, which is why I often reference them a lot! I also am an Aussie!
I also watched anthology episodes of "Twilight Zone" (most versions except 2019), "Night Gallery", "Tales from the Crypt", "The Nightmare Hour" and "Love, Death and Robots", so that's why I like writing short stories and anthology formats. I grew up with the tropes (essentially 'story ideas') from 00's-10's, including older story ideas, metaphors and proverbs that don't really 'exist' anymore in modern media, including teen movies! xD

Several monthly contests here. Limited to members,I gravitate to the Poetry, and Flash Fiction contests. They provide a theme.
I'm long time hobby writer, and would only write what I was inspired to write.
It's different not being particularly inspired ,
and needs to be submitted by a certain date.
Hope you have fun.
Oh, I also do drawings sometimes, so I often watch random tv shows and watch various anime (and live-action series) on occassion... And examine tropes from various media. I also watch Chinese wuxia dramas and donghuas with English subtitles (whenever I feel like it)
Good day, nice to meet you too.
