Author has written 5 stories for Morrowind, and Neverwinter Nights.

I'm known Wolf-Kin, and there's a (vaguely) interesting story behind that name. It reflects my two favorite creatures, believe it or not. Wolves are obvious, but the "Kin" part of is taken from a book that I read, Song in the Silence...and also The Longest Journey, a computer game, come to think of it. See, Dragons were known as the Kindred in Song in the Silence, and as the Draik-Kin in Longest Journey. I liked the sound and idea of dragons as Kin, so I tacked that onto the end of "Wolf" and got "Wolf-Kin".

Currently, I have several active stories on ff.net, all in the Neverwinter Nights catagory: the first one is Shifting Shadows, which focuses on the Hoards of the Underdark campaign...but with one huge difference from all the other HotU fics up- I look at the end of the campaign, and assume that the PC went evil and all that entails. And the other real difference that springs directly from this: the point of view is from the third henchman, an original character called Kelia, a Shifter, and follows her in her attempts to right the wrongs committed by the evil PC, and then beyond, as she tries to head back home and what comes of all this. And yes, I'm still working on it; I'm trying to make the setting of Cania hellish, for a change.
A small quote to better expand on Kel's current state of mind: "Genuine anger was one of the world's great creative forces. But you had to learn how to control it. That didn't mean you let it trickle away. It meant you dammed it, carefully, let it develop a working head, let it drown whole valleys of the mind and then, just when the whole structure was about to collapse, opened a tiny pipeline at the base and let the iron-hard stream of wrath power the turbines of revenge." - Wyrd Sisters, Pratchett

Second is my newest one, looking now at Neverwinter Nights 2, specifically at just what goes through the mind of the character when she's been given a Keep. The idea sprang from a long conversation between myself and a friend wherein it got pointed out that anyone who'd just gotten such a task dumped on them, with no idea what to do or how to go about doing it, would likely crawl into a bottle, and everyone would be very lucky if they actually came out again. My character doesn't quite go that far...but it's a close one.

I am also co-authoring a story with WitchWolf; it's posted on her account. The CPS - the Character Protection Society - of Neverwinter Nights...saving the "romance interests" from the clutches of fangirls, one story at a time. Check it out!

As for inactive stories... Moonsong is long inactive, and frankly, by now it's a bit of an embarrassment to me, seeing how far my writing style and ability has come, but I leave it up; it's on a bunch of favorites lists, so I leave it be.

Dragons of Unknown Wings seems to have slid into the inactive state as well, and I'm remarkably prosaic about it; if I ever get a nice block of time/creativity, I'll continue it. Certainly, the Damaliti will continue to show up (and in various original stories, star) in various stories...but I no longer feel the urge to complete the tale.

Lastly, for once a complete story: A Small Tale of Death, again going back to the Original Campaign of NWN; just a small one-shot, looking at a male paladin, one Geheris, and how he resolves a small side-quest that I felt got jipped during the game. The catch? Geheris is a paladin of Kelemvor, the god of death...and so, naturally, the quest focuses on how you measure a life, when all is said and done.
