Siddhartha

Siddhartha asked John Scalzi:

Any plans to write something in the same universe as and/or similar to "The God Engines"? It was a huge surprise (in a good way) to read something which was so different from your science fiction.

John Scalzi Because of the way The God Engines ends, it's difficult to make a sequel to it, so, no, I probably won't. But I might write other stuff like TGE from time to time. It's nice to do other things than what one is usually known for -- indeed, one of the reasons I wrote TGE was to make the point that just because I'm known for one particular style of writing, doesn't mean I'm not capable of other styles as well.

So we know about your novels, non-fiction and stories. We also know that you have worked on a video game and its graphic-novel tie-in, as well as a screenplay of your own, and amateur photography that you publish on Whatever. Any other creative areas striking your fancy? Stage plays? Poetry? Something else that, while you may not try to make money from it, you feel sufficiently skilled at to share with an audience?
