| Welcome to Spicy Wolf - my humble little portfolio adrift upon the world wide ocean of websites that is the Internet. Upon the pages of this digital portfolio you will find a few examples of Creative Writing, Content Writing, Descriptive Writing, Graphic Design, Narrative Design, Theme Design, and Web Design that I've done in the past for various projects, as well as relevant details about myself, such as my Curriculum Vitae (CV) and Recommendations, among other things. As well as being a general showcase and storage repository for works such as these, this portfolio is primarily geared towards one objective: getting me a lasting career in the Gaming Industry! I'm not even going to be subtle about this goal; I know what I want, I know what I want to do, and I'm doing all that I can do attain that life for myself! It is not an easy task, however. Of course, now I just have to convince the people who are actually in positions to give me a chance to... well, actually give me a chance! Yes, I quite shamelessly want someone to look at this portfolio and think: "We should be throwing money at this guy! Why aren't we doing that yet?" Well, maybe not literally like that, but I'm sure you get the idea. I want to convince people that I'm actually as good at what I do as what I believe I am; and what I believe I am is a pretty excellent writer who happens to have a focus on creative and descriptive writing and narrative design. I can do other things as well, of course - I just need a break. I just need someone to open that door for me and (proverbially) say, hey, come and walk this path with me. So, that's my objective; but who am I?  Hi, I'm Dan! If you want to know more about me, the individual, then check out the "Personal" page and look beneath the important parts. (Or just click here.) However, if you're more interested in the reasons as to why I'm an investment, then here are only a few of the things that make me such a winning opportunity: ∙ Additional experience with a number of basic applications and tools. ∙ Broad understanding of internet cultures, trends, and practices. ∙ Considerable video gaming knowledge and experience. ∙ Creative writing and narrative design experience for an MMORPG. ∙ Documentation skills honed through the academic assignment process. ∙ Elementary gaming industry exposure via freelance projects. ∙ Familiarity with social networking and how it can be used as a tool. ∙ Fastidious attention to spelling, punctuation, and grammar. ∙ General experience of various online / web activities and mediums. ∙ General game and thematic design experience via involvement with online role-playing games. ∙ Good personal understanding of aesthetics. ∙ Good personal understanding of what makes a game work, and what makes it fun. ∙ History of experience of building, maintaining, and repairing PC systems. ∙ History of maintenance and repair of PC software and systems. ∙ Non-professional website design experience. ∙ Passionate about the English language and its use. ∙ Prevalent involvement in directing online text-based role-playing games. ∙ Protracted familiarity with a number of gaming genres and themes. ∙ Tested (via Enzyme Labs) understanding of American-English to British-English localization differences. ∙ Personally experienced with a number of applications such as: Adobe Photoshop; MediaWiki; Microsoft FrontPage; Microsoft Expression Web; Microsoft Windows (From 95 to 7); Microsoft Word; Open-Source Forum Software; PennMUSH. ∙ Specialities include: Community Management; Creative Writing; Content Writing; Descrptive Writing; Editing; English Language; Game Balancing; Game Design; Game Mastering; Game Testing; Narrative Design; PC Hardware; PC Software; Player Relations; Proof Reading; Theme Design and Development. It is for these and other reasons that I like to think that Dan stock is rated a "Strong Buy." Should this menu of supernatural delights fail to satisfy, I know a good place we can go to lunch.  - Dan | |||||||||||||||
