Matt Perretthide bio
 Author has written 27 stories for Warcraft, Final Fantasy VII, Earthbound, Final Fantasy IX, Final Fantasy VIII, Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy: Tactics, Double Dragon, Mega Man, Xenosaga, Final Fantasy X-2, Mass Effect, Shining Force, Sixth Sense, and Stellaris. Hi, Matt Perrett here. I enjoy writing short fiction and one-shots, with my longest work to date clocking in at 68,000 words and 239 pages. I'm frequently inspired by unusual situations in the games I play or videos I watch. A quick look at my story list will show that I typically write very light or very dark without much middle ground, though I do also enjoy examining the fine line between humor and horror. As an amateur writer seeking to go pro, I'm constantly working to improve my craft, so constructive criticism is immensely appreciated. I am currently working in South Korea as an English teacher. My current project is an original fantasy novel titled The Resurrection War, which I jokingly refer to as Defense of the Ancients/League of Legends the Movie. I'm working on the second draft at the moment, which is the main reason (aside from work) why I haven't written any short stories for a while. I also maintain a blog about my adventures in Korea and Japan at . Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy my work! |
