Just dialed in here...demographics are a dirty word where I come from.
Basically, I write the story that I would like to see as a viewer. If my
tastes reflect that of others, folks watch; if not, not.

This is how I've always written, all the way back to when I began in
animation. "This would be a cool story." And that's the be-all and end-all
of it. Same with everything else.

Back a few years ago, I was looking for a particular kind of horror
novel. Couldn't quite find what I wanted. So I sat down and *wrote* it,
wrote the novel I wanted to read. Finished it, and shoved it in the closet
for, I think, about two years. One day, my agent suggested I really should
write a novel someday. Reluctantly, I dragged it out of the closet. Gave it
to her. She gave it to a NY editor, who sold it to the first editor who got
it. It really wasn't written for anyone else but me; had it stayed in the
closet forever, it would've accomplished that task.

I take that approach with everything I write; if I wouldn't watch it, I
won't write it. So, basically, my demographic is me.
