Why?

Worlds As Myth comes from the Heinlen-ian concept that every time one creates a fictional world, it creates a new, fully-functional universe. While intended, initially to be a private writing practice space, the blog was born a techno-societal news source, a blend of science and celebrity – that’s what it wanted to be – who am I to argue?

There’s enough going on in this universe that makes me feel like I’m living in science fiction; might as well write what you know, no? Comments and questions are accomodated graciously and are promptly responded to as they are greatly appreciated.

Who?

Worlds as Myth is maintained by Mick Axelrod, a writer for up-and-coming computer game company Red Dust Studios. He is responsible for the creation, application, and continuity of a fictional world that will be home to a MMORPG still in hush-hush. Mick lives and plays in Las Vegas, NV.
