While I am not someone who would have joined a gang I find the dynamic, power plays and culture facilitating. From the movies Gangs of New York, Romper Stomper, Warriors, to Colors the stories can be compelling especially from a story telling perspective. Character development is easier then in other stories that I have read and/or written.
I was inspired by the gangs from NYC in the 1970’s when I wrote this (shameless plug), but in a scifi setting. I’d like to hear your opinion and feedback on it.
