Hello, I am Tourqe Glare (spelled "correctly" to find my tracks on Google).
I'm in Lake Forest California (east of Irvine, where Will Ferrell grew up) and I am trying to make my living as a novel writer for speculative fiction. Good luck, I know.
Oh, I was introduced to this site by IWfan53
, who is also my story editor.
I am responsible for this page here: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/PlayingWith/RubberMan
I have a few resource pages here:
- My Deviantart
- My twitter (contact me by instant message there, Echofon will pick it up.)
- My radically, radically outdated lulu.com account
- My more updated yahoo! Groups page -- may need registration, I hope not.
Tropes that collectively grace my stories include:
- Rubberman (and how!!) I have Plastic Man style (body structure, not silly personality) superheroes, and in the future, a large rock is actually caught by these superheroes, and it can actually morph into a liquid that coils the body up and compresses them, allowing them to stretch. I'm actually trying to scientifically work this out, how a person would reasonably be able to stretch themselves around while still being able to live. Short answer? very carefully.
- I actually made the link to the Deviantart picture in Rubberman; this one here.

- TheDaria A one Sarra Ramone comes to mind. Usually, my characters are snarky throughout though, but she is the queen as the real Daria is one of her idols.
- I am too, to an extent, but I do it to make others laugh, and not to make a point.
- Chaotic Evil One of my main bad guys, Morgan, who has a twice reoccurring role in two different stories, wants to destroy all human life and Gaea herself. the second time the villain arrives, they are too far gone to remember why they wanted to destroy all life in the first place (Humans Are Bastards in her eyes, and she want's to protect the aliens from us, thus signaling that she has lost her mind)
- Latex Space Suit (Justified Trope) Yes there is fanservice, but it's downplayed immensely for the practical reasons it brings. It is worn as an undergarment to keep the elastic humans arms and the like from looking like a fringe jacket. Here's a look, if you're interested◊.
- This inspired how people dress in my work, except that I tone it down. (I saw it with my little sister a decade ago, and it became a nostalgic guilty pleasure, that's why)

- Crystal Spires and Togas The Spires, at least. Cites and architectures in my work look like the city in Mirrors Edge, but with 30% plant life gracing the walls and streets, thus, a really spiffy bathroom.
- Mohs Scale Of Science Fiction Hardness I hope to have my work placed near 2001 on that list, though due to an inadequate amount of schoolwork that I'm just now catching up to due to family issues, I'm not sure if I'll even get past MST 3 K...
Summaries of my stories are as follows:
- The Two Faces of the Sun
- Set 300 years from now, Francine McCarthy, and her boyfriend, Johnny Vincent, find out that Fran is a madman's MacGuffin, and try to free her of his grasp while avoiding the police at the same time. The madman wants Fran because she has some access codes to his special ship that he will use to slingshot around several planets and plunge into the Earth.
- The Pink Lemon Saga: Lora Summers
- Cheerful Lora Summers obtains a pair of noble super heroine earrings that transform her into Pink Lemon. With help from her sister, and hero partner, Crimzon Cherry, and the former heroes who shed the earrings, Lora and her companions work to battle a threat that terrorizes the world. That's it at face value, really. The bad guy is the aforementioned Morgan, so it had aughta be.
- Tales of the Summers
- Basically it's my version of Pete and Pete, but I did not realise that until long after I had decided on the concept of the story. Stars Lora and her fraternal twin sister, Sarra from Pink Lemon when they are younger, and their strange neighbors: Xu (Zoo) Cougar, a fangirl who dresses like Zenon above, and is into the technichal issues of sci fi, Veronica Farwal, a witch who I swear is not a 10th Doctor knock off, and the albino whatever, Tanoshi Hito, who is so messed up and insane, yet harmless, that she talks in the third person, does a fair bit of chemistry yielding bizarre results, and is in love with a watered down version of Torgo. Oh, her family is normal too. The stories can be anything from a look at character development on my end or an unrelated super hero pastiche.
