Writing

My most successful project is Where to start reading, a comic book reading recommendations wesbite which reaches 5-20k users per month (spiking alongside movie releases). The Python / Django code is on github. The most popular article, Where to start reading Spider-Man comics is usually right under Marvel and Wikipedia for the search "Spider-Man comics".

My only popular article not moved over to Where to start reading is Classic Doctor Who recommended viewing list, a list I put together while watching all 50 years of Doctor Who.
