The following is an alphabatized list of some novel authors and television shows about which I intend to write essays to tell you about where I get my crazy ideas and to reveal the influences and hidden connections between these people and Sime~Gen as well as all the rest of my work.
Many of these Influences are discussed at considerable length in my column for The Monthly Aspectarian which is now reposted for you at Rereadable Books in our robust Reviews Section. More about the contributions these authors have made to Sime~Gen is touched upon in the essays in the Writing Workshop where various writing tips are attributed to various authors.
