| Ardil the Traveller |
Author has written 14 stories for Silmarillion, Sonic the Hedgehog, Pokémon, and Skies of Arcadia. I'm Ardil the Traveller, more commonly known nowadays as Air Pirate Ris - the main reason I haven't changed it here is because people recognise this name. I write on FicWad as Air Pirate Ris, as expanded readership is always a good thing - should anyone come here from that site and recognise my work, I'm not plagiarising anyone, it's mine! I'm a writer and physicist, and I'm interested in just about every aspect of how this amazing universe of ours actually works, a fascination that carries over into my stories, where I try as hard as I can to ensure that everything makes sense, at least within the rules of the story. I can be calm, sensible, and even philosophical, or alternatively completely hyper and crazy, but I keep that side of myself away from my stories, where I'd far rather be taken seriously. I also enjoy drawing, and a few of the results can be found here. 23/08/2012 Wow, is this profile outdated. That's what I get for not being here for a few years, huh. Well - so much for that! I'm back! And this time I intend to keep writing, even if it is a bit slowly. Also, whoever you are out there who's still reading, recommending, and even reviewing the old ones even after all this inactive time? You guys are AWESOME! Thank you! Hope you enjoy my work! "The future is like a dubious sausage - it's best not to ask what's in it!" Companion art Only in Death (black and white) I'm supposed to be writing a total of 200 stories for a fanfic challenge on LiveJournal - 100 for Sonic and company, 100 for Skies of Arcadia's Silvites. Most of them probably aren't going to make it over here, since I doubt I'll consider them good enough, but if you're interested, the prompt tables and accompanying story links are: Sonic Only Yesterday is finished! Yes! | |||||
