Author has written 12 stories for Legend of Zelda, and Fire Emblem. "Time passes, people move... Like a river's flow, it never ends. A childish mind will turn to noble ambition. Young love will become deep affection. The clear water's surface reflects growth." -- Sheik, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Name's Hylian Shadow. I'm 28 and a videogame fan, especially of the Legend of Zelda series. I also love to write. I'm sure you can see where this is going. I'm not really sure what else to say here. I know some of these haven't been updated in months, but I haven't dropped any of my stories. They will all get finished, eventually, and all of them are in varying levels of completion right now. So, yes, I'm still working on everything listed as "in progress"; I just don't always have the time to write. I just ask for your patience until the chapters get finished and posted. Story Continuities: Since several people have asked, here are the groups of stories that share the same universe. My 'main' timeline (aka all of the Link/Dark stories): Reflections of the Heart FtB series: Fade to Black Hero and Masks (aka my post Majora's Mask stories): Masquerade Individual stories (aka not in a series): The Face Behind the Mask Stories in Progress: The Face Behind the Mask: A silly rumor about a strange TV channel shows Link a power he never realized he had. Everyone has a face he shows the world, as well as a face he hides from everyone else. For Link, those two faces are one and the same. He never realized that a smile could be armor before... Future Hyrule: Courage Never Dies: Hyrule has prospered over the centuries, and over that time the stories of the ancient hero who protected the land have faded into legend. For historian Link Masters, studying the legends is about to send him on a strange and personal quest. Is he really Hyrule's Chosen Hero, or is this all just a big joke? And who is this 'Dark Link' and what does he want with Link? What is a historian supposed to do when legend becomes reality? | |||||||
