That's why it is EXACTLY your thing - think of all the bullshit books these wankers will be pumping out when they graduate - who will seriously want to read weird ass sci-fi comic books? You will stand out as the one true author who writes books that people want to actually read. If you're serious about writing, then theres nothing stopping you from shining like a diamond among a mound of sci fi writing, shitty poetry writing, techno/electronica listening dirt.
Still can't get over the fact that you have to be 21 before you can drink. We can legally start drinking at 18 (and theres so many 15 year olds sneaking into pubs that you gotta be careful not to get done for underage sex!).
