Author has written 38 stories for Forgotten Realms, Naruto, and Transformers/Beast Wars. IMPORTANT NOTICE (10/30/09) For the most part, I am still on writer's hiatus. I'm very slowly producing some TF fanfic, with the twins, Blue, and Screamer as my fave characters. I am trying to generate an ending for "Darkest Hour," but please do not pressure me about it, as my muse for FR has been dead for years now. NOTE ON "DANCES WITH SHINOBI" Due to its extreme length and my extreme muse death, I have canceled "Dances with Shinobi." I took it down from this site because it hurt to see people putting it on watch when I know I won't be finishing it. However, since so many people have been asking about it, I'd like to note that I have left it archived on DA. You can find chapter 1 here. NOTES ON MY FORGOTTEN REALMS SERIES "The Continuing Adventures of Artemis Entreri and Jarlaxle" The series picks up after Servant of the Shard--or, to be more precise, it picks up after the short story "Empty Joys." All character development and character projection therefore have been extrapolated from SotS. Important Note: I based my series of fanfics on “The Third Level,” a short story RAS wrote back in 1993. In that story, 14-year-old Entreri remembers being sexually abused by three people--his father, his uncle, and a man on the caravan--not just his uncle (or, rather, his father's friend who claims to be his uncle). He also reports running away from home at the age of 9. I will not change my fanfics in light of the revision in RotP. (0.) "Masquerade of Monsters" is the prequel to The Road to Redemption trilogy and to the series in general. 1-3. The Road to Redemption trilogy includes "Progression of a Killer," "The Mask of a Hero," and "The Face of a God." The story explores Entreri's and Jarlaxle's tentative friendship and Entreri's hatred of heros and priests. Dark themes are present, including allusions to rape and childhood sexual abuse. 4-6. The Descent into Darkness trilogy includes "The Specters of Our Pasts," "The Gathering Storm," and "The Sacrifice for Salvation." This trilogy focuses on issues of rape, PTSD, healing, and friendship. 7-9. The Power of Prophecy trilogy includes "Premonition," "Simulacrum," and "Revelation." I am focusing on the Entreri-Jarlaxle friendship dynamic and the sexual issues/attitudes of both Entreri and Tai. This concludes the series. ABOUT ME I am a fan of sci-fi (or SF), fantasy, and anime/manga. My favorite graphic novels, series, and movies include V for Vendetta, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Transformers, Servant of the Shard, Naruto, and Bleach. I'm currently dying under the burden of higher education and feel like Atlas carrying the heavens on his shoulders. My main love is writing, and one day when higher education is finished torturing me, I would like to return to writing original fiction, although I figure I'll always write fanfic. | |||||||||||||
