Line 24:
** He also wrote the only episode of ''[[Babylon 5]]'' in Seasons 3, 4, or 5 on which J. Michael Straczynski received no writing credit ("Day of the Dead").
** British RPG magazine ''Imagine'' was his first publisher with two of his early short stories, ''Featherquest'' in 1984 (#14) and ''How to Sell the Ponti Bridge'' in 1985 (#24).
* Mystery novelist and conservative commentator Andrew Klavan has made it clear that he enjoys videogames, and occasionally [https://web.archive.org/web/20130722053734/http://www.andrewklavan.com/2010/07/28/super-mario-galaxy-2/ reviews them] [https://web.archive.org/web/20150101153842/http://www.andrewklavan.com/2010/07/08/god-of-war-3/ on his website]. He's also made a reference to ''[[BioShock (series)]]'' in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7stz35gN44 one episode] of his TV show, Klavan on the Culture.
* [[Stephen King]] is pretty nerdy. He loves comic books, writes fanfiction (check out ''Nightmares and Dreamscapes'' -- it has a [[Sherlock Holmes]] story, one or two [[H.P. Lovecraft|Lovecraft]]-themed stories, and a story based on a picture in a Chris Van Allsburg book), and plays in a band composed entirely of authors, including [[Dave Barry]] and [[Amy Tan]].
** He is especially fond of ''[[Lost]]''.
Line 62:
** And the real kicker: claimed in one interview that he learnt how to write by reading [[TV Tropes]].
* [[Larry Niven]], multiple Hugo Award, Nebula Award, and [[H.P. Lovecraft]] Award winning science fiction author, space-program booster, and generally all-around nice guy, has publicly stated that of all the projects he's been involved in, writing the "bible" for the post-''[[Crisis on Infinite Earths]]'' ''[[Green Lantern]]'' comic book series is probably his favorite, because it let him play with a lot of the "toys" he enjoyed "playing with" when he was younger.
* [[Mercedes Lackey]] began as a fan writer and [[Filk Song|filker]], has snuck a crossover fanfic into her professional writing (a short story crossing her ''[[Heralds of Valdemar]]'' series with ''[[Scooby-Doo]]''), and not only plays ''[[City of Heroes]]'' but is part of the team running the resurrected ''COX'' server ''Homecoming''.
