Author has written 22 stories for Star Wars, Harry Potter, Forgotten Realms, Highlander, and Dragonlance. I'm Ziggy: travelling poet and lover of all things character-analysis inclined! Current Works in Progress: Love Changes Everything: A longer project, and this time not my own original work, but an authorised translation of ff.net author Elbenstein's Forgotten Realms novel. Will run seventeen chapters. One currently posted. Menzoberranzan Nights: Short FR story about Zaknafein Do'Urden and Jarlaxle Baenre in their wild youths. Features roaming orcs, lusty drow merchants, suspicious priestesses of Lloth and proselytising followers of Eilistraee! Currently four chapters with one or perhaps two more to go. The Kase of the Kurious Kender: Short Dragonlance story focusing on a mystery investigated by Palin Majere and his brothers. Features gnomes, wizards, sleuthing, curious barmaids, and of course a kender! Three parts posted with perhaps four or five to go. The Fourth Seal: Re-write of the Highlander episode Revelations 6:8. What would happen if Methos had chosen to go along with Kronos' apocalyptic plan? Features, er, a lot of dead people. Seven chapters posted, and awaiting only an epilogue. and of course: Anakin Skywalker: Lord of the Sith: This one has been on hold for a long time, but it isn't dead; I promise. Alternate universe in which Vader survives ROTJ. What would really happen? Eight chapters posted and, hmm, as many to go, probably. 14, December, 2009: Part one of Love Changes Everything posted. 08 December, 2009: Part three of 'The Kase of the Kurious Kender' posted. 29 November, 2009: Part two of 'The Kase of the Kurious Kender' is posted. Das Schoene ist nichts als des Schrecklichen Anfang, den wir noch gerade ertragen, und wir bewundern es so, weil es gelassen verschmaeht, uns zu zerstoeren. Ein jeder Engel ist schrecklich. (Beauty is nothing but the onset of terror we're still just able to bear, and we admire it because it calmly disdains to destroy us. Every angel is terrifying.) --Duino Elegies, Die Erste Elegie.
