Line #16 Tropers/Spaztique


1	'''Name''': David Z.\
2	'''Location''': [[EverythingIsBigInTexas Texas]]\
3	'''What I Do''': Writer, comedian, gamer.\
4	\
5	'''Bio''': Around 2005-2008, I made Garry's Mod comics. Currently, I do [[{{Touhou}} Touhou Project]] related [[VirtualPaperDoll Walfas videos]], music, and more. Due to the [[ImprobablyFemaleCast nature]] of the videos I work on, [[CrossdressingVoices I tend to voice a lot of girls]], but I love doing it because it's fun. I love answering questions and teaching people how to make things, so feel free to ask me anything at any time. I'm very open about how I make stuff and why I did what I did, so go ahead and ask.\
6	\
7	'''Artistic Ideals''': I believe in interaction with fans, immediate WordOfGod about trivia facts, and avoiding ArtistDisillusionment. I believe that just one bad [[FanHater "fan"]] or a bad [[FanDumb group of "fans"]] are not an appropriate excuse for WhyFandomCantHaveNiceThings. Like the writers who hung out in Europe in the early 1900s, I believe in artists hanging out together, collaborating, and having as much fun as humanly possible. Above all these, I believe in passing on my knowledge about how to make these things: it's fun, insightful, and although I mostly do fanworks as a hobby, they teach you a lot about the creation process.\
8	\
9	'''When I'm Not Making Videos''': I write short stories and plays, I tutor writers (specifically fiction writers), I'm a stage actor and comedian, and I'm a freelance theater techie (specifically live scoring and sound effects). I also dabble in [[LetsPlay Let's Plays]] and can be found on Twitch under [=SpaztiqueDZ=].\
10	\
11	'''More Trivia Facts''': I own roughly 110+ books. More than half are non-fiction and a third of the collection is on writing. My favorite book on writing is {{Literature/Story}} by Robert [=McKee=]. My favorite book on relationships is ''The Relationship Cure'' by John M. Gottman, Ph.D. My favorite book on self-help is ''Awaken The Giant Within'' by Anthony Robbins. I study psychology to help both myself and to others, and plus I find the subject fascinating (and no, it doesn't give me mind control powers). Although I am interested in Japan (I can speak a little Japanese, I study the culture, and I've eaten at a teppan-yaki restaurant every birthday since I was five), I am not an anime geek. I can play just about any instrument, but I'm better at composing than playing.\
