Who am I?

My name is Stuart. I’m a video game developer, hobbyist novelist, Pokémon fanatic, and, I guess, digital rights ponderer. I work at Rare games, making online pirates (the Caribbean kind).

I set up this site because I wanted to do more writing (because I enjoy writing) and that open-ended writing didn’t really fit anywhere else. I also started writing reviews on GoodReads for the books I finished and decided that I’d like my writing to exist outside big platform walled gardens too.

I do this for the love of it, but I do hope some other people get some enjoyment out of reading it as well.

What’s up with the name?

“Maximum Meridian”? I made it up. The site needed a name and I enjoy naming things like they’re sci-fi spaceships. Who wouldn’t like to take a trip across the galaxy aboard the Maximum Meridian?
