Tim Pratt
Tim Pratt was born a bad liar, so it's a good thing he's had so many unique experiences in his life to tell stories about. Tim, sometimes also known as Timmmii, would like for you to believe he was born a Coal Miner's Daughter because he's used that joke since the film was released in 1980, but again, he's not a good liar, so... Tim is a longtime writer, having learned how to pick up a pen when he was just 0.4 years old, though he quickly realized putting a pen in one's mouth isn't a good way to write effectively. After spending most of his high school years copying Encyclopedia entries and turning them in as his own work in science and history classes, a very perceptive man named Mr. McNabb, Tim's freshman english instructor and student newspaper adviser, told Tim he should join the newspaper because of his impressive writing skills. Tim has never been shy about accepting a good compliment, so he thought, "what the hell, it beats shoe shining" (something he's still never done, though he's hoping he can give it a try when he's reincarnated as a trouble youth on the streets of Harlem). Since then, Tim has led a very normal and traditional writer's life comprised of self-destruction via his love of wine, women and song.
Tim's writing work has appeared in dozens of publications, way too many to list here. Besides, reading lists of accomplishments by others is boring.
Tim also performs as a DJ, a klown, a sexually confused Bavarian Bunny named HelgaBunny, a loudmouth and storyteller for Memoir Spool, not necessarily in that order.
And he absolutely hates wimpy handshakes.
