| DarthRuinous |
Author has written 18 stories for Star Wars, and Lord of the Rings. Greetings, people of Earth. My name is Darth Ruinous, and I have traveled far across the galaxy in search of greater purpose. A certain part of your world's culture has come to my attention: movies and books! Since I have discovered your enlightening Star Wars and Lord of the Rings series, I have been neglecting my duties as an evil Sith Lord. Consequently, I've been exiled to Earth for the foreseeable future (and let me tell you, some of my colleagues can see far, far into the future). Since it is socially unacceptable to fry random minions with Force Lightning and wreak ruin and despair across the planet, I have been reduced to writing fan fiction while I wait for my triumphant return to my more civilized galaxy. General information about my stories: For Star Wars, I have not read much of the EU after RoTJ, so most characterization will be inspired by the films and several Pre-prequel and Clone Wars-era books. Palpatine/Darth Vader/Obi-wan Kenobi, and Gandalf/Gimli/the Nazgul intrigue me most, so these rogues tend to feature prominently. I can write very dark stories with significant violence, but there will never be slash, language, or indecent scenes. I also occasionally try my hand at humor. Enjoy, critique, and/or leave a review! My stories can be categorized as follows: Long, multi-chapter: A Night for Opera and Everything Else Interview with an Emperor Matchmaker Matchmaker, Make Me a Match Gandalf, New Dark Lord Dude Oneshots/Short Stories: Beauty and the Beast The Fine Art of Acting What To Do With Him If Only I Had Tried Harder The Will to Power Sacrifices Must be Made The Courtship of Padme Amidala Wounds Heal, But Scars Go Deep At the Present Time Sensing Nothing Confusion over Coruscant Drabbles and Themes: Snippets Not of Japor A Collection of Themed Drabbles | |||||
