Author has written 37 stories for Phantom of the Opera, Star Wars, Pirates of the Caribbean, and A Wrinkle in Time Trilogy. I am an avid Star Wars fan and Phantom of the Opera "phan," the combination of which gives me my unique username. I also go by the name "Dark Knight," as my online persona is that of a Dark Jedi. If you have a question about anything Star Wars canon, chances are I'll know the answer or at least know where to find it, especially if it has to do with Darth Vader. My knowledge is slowly approaching encyclopedic, though I will have some catching up to do what with all the new EU books that have recently been published. Last tally: 105 out of the 190+ EU books read for certain. I need to update my personal database of books, however. In other fandom news, I've been introduced to anime and it was love at first sight. While I probably won't read/write much of anything for FullMetal Alchemist, FMA: Brotherhood, Death Note, or Avatar: The Last Airbender, feel free to drop me a PM if you want to chat about them. But then again, one never knows where the plot bunnies will attack next. :) Star Wars is, and will continue to be, my main obsession, however. I've long been fascinated with the character of Lord Darth Vader. Even when I first saw "Star Wars: A New Hope," long before I knew of Luke's heritage or Mustafar's flame, I felt a sense of loneliness and sorrow for the character. Yes, he was evil, but I always felt as though there was something more behind the mask. With the release of the prequels, my musings were vindicated. Obviously, these thoughts affect my Star Wars writings considerably. As a writer, I am slowly working on a cycle of eight Vader-centered one-shot-style pieces, centered around Yoda's famous lines: "Fear leads to anger...anger leads to hate...hate leads to suffering..." with two one-shots per step, an event and a vignette. Three down, five to go! "Dark Path 3: Anger of the Deceived" is finally up, after much pondering. We're almost at the halfway point of the Dark Path Cycle, and I already have the final one completed. Now, time for the anger vignette... In other "started, not finished" news, I have a ROTJ-AU brewing which is up to around 60 pages in Writer (timeline: a few months to a year before the first draft will be ready for review) and a few shorter pieces as well (timeline: varies) including a Luke/Vader story that's an inversion of the popular "Vader rescues Luke without Luke knowing who Vader is" idea. I also have the glimmerings of an idea for a crossover between Star Wars and another movie I saw recently. Anyone here familiar with Tron? Attack of the one-shots! He's My Son was inspired by the Mark Schultz song of the same title. When I heard the chorus, I couldn't help but think of my favorite father/son pair. And the one-shot onslaught continues. The plot bunnies have been active lately, now yielding the mysterious "Together." I'm rather proud of this one, might actually draw it sometime. The Christian Jedi Code is my take on something I've seen around the 'net a few times and took a crack at myself. It's the basis for my computer's wallpaper at the moment. Take it as you will. All other projects have been discontinued or put in long term stasis via carbonite. I will still write about the Phantom as I have inspiration, but my interests have swung towards Star Wars for the time being. There is quite a bit to be excited about in the Star Wars universe right now. "Fate of the Jedi" looks very, very promising right now, meaning I can't wait to get my hands on a copy! Enjoy my work, check out my favorites, and above all, remember this: the Force will be with you. Always. His deeds will not be forgiven, until he merits... P.S. An anonymous reviewer asked whose POV "Choosing" is from. It's not Charles Wallace, just a nameless star who made a choice. | |||||||||
