Happy New Year, everyone. Hope the holidays were good to all of my readers, and I do hope the best for all of you in the coming year. Now, on to business. I've kicked off another project, with the first chapter being posted today. "Far Cry From Skyrim: The Mask of Hahdrimal", pits the Dragonborn up against the dangers of Rook Islands.

I've once again changed my avatar, to reflect a little side-project I'm currently working on, which somewhat reflects two game-worlds I'm immensely infatuated with: Skyrim, and Farcry 3. The project is still in the planning and outline stage, but I hope to start producing chapters within the next week or so, with the plan to start posting chapters sometime in January. This will be the first fanfiction I've produced that doesn't deal with Harry Potter, but like most of my other work, this one will also be a crossover. It explores a possible reason behind the insanity on Rook Islands: a Dragon Priest, banished from Skyrim around or after the time of the fall of the Dragon Cult. Follow me, or follow my Tumblr account (cosmic-cube-keeper there as well). Also, I am looking for someone to beta, so PM me if you're interested.

So my new project is now being posted, named, "The Wizard, the Thief, the Captain, and the Cube". The story will see Harry raised differently, in this case, amongst the mages at the College of Winterhold in Skyrim, 10 years before Alduin's return. 22 chapters have been finished thus far, covering age 6 to 16. At the point I'm working now, Harry is 16, having recently received his O.W.L. results.

As indicated by the title, the Avengers also make an appearance, although somewhat overshadowed by the Elder Scrolls world, although they will have a part to play later in the story. Steve Rogers is one of Harry's first true friends (He's there to rescue Harry from his relatives), and remains that way throughout the story, giving Harry a strong moral compass. it doesn't stop him from getting into trouble, and making friends with questionable sorts, though, as will be shown in later chapters.

With "Daedric Artefact" coming to a close, I will soon begin posting a new project, titled: "The Thief, the Wizard, the Captain, and the Cube", once again being a multi-crossover story. I have too much fun mashing Harry's world with others, right?

SUMMARY: "Harry died. Voldemort won. The world burned. A hidden nation uses the Tessaract to send a message to the past, intent on preventing a dark future. This is the story of how they succeeded—and failed. AU, multi-crossover."

I'm very pleased with how this one is turning out. I've put much more thought and planning into it before actually putting pen to paper (fingers to keyboard, rather). Better to put thoughts down in some sort of outline before actually writing, and this process has been somewhat rewarding. I should also mention, I am looking for a beta for this one, if you're interested leave me a PM.

Unlike in previous stories, there is no pairing (though that may change). This one feels much more action-driven (though it's a little slow at first--Harry is six years old when when the story begins), and so doing any sort of pairing might not fit, and leaving out a pairing avoids the slash argument. I don't think I could write a hetro pairing to save my life!

I hate the 'please introduce yourself' mantle, but I guess that's how we get to know each other, right? So, this is a little about me.

I've been writing my own material now since about grade eight, although I've never published anything. It would be the ultimate dream to actually be published, even if it never went as far as say, Clive Cussler, or J.K. Rowling (two of my favourite authors). Just the same, it is a true art to be able to create a world, then draw your audience into it, and have them screaming for more.

So what kind of material do I like? Take a look at the two authors I mentioned in the paragraph above. Very different worlds, hmmm? As a kid, I loved Roald Dahl. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (btw, I thought Johnny Depp made a wonderful Willy Wonka); James and the Giant Peach; Danny, Champion of the World. All wonderful books. Another I liked was a younger author, Gordon Korman (sp?). His works may not be available outside of Canada. Look up a title "This Can't be Happening at McDonald Hall!".

Reading of course, eventually inspired my own creations. I used to lay in bed at night, visualizing my own worlds, if you will. Not dragons and magic so much at that point, but just, creating my own universe, scenarios, and so on. Sometimes I would dream those ideas, but it never occurred to me I should start writing things down until grade eight, as mentioned above.

I don't remember too much about my early pieces, although I wish I still had them, just to refer back and see how far I have come, how much I have developed my skill. That's for another day, however. This, is here and now.

So, there you have it. That is me, I'm glad to have become part of the community.
