Hello to my readers!

Fan Fiction News:

The revision of my Oblivion story, "Ashlands to Akavir" is finally done! (Woot!) I decided to finish up by giving the last two chapters back-to-back, rather than spacing another weekend between them. And once again the final chapter of the original seemed better off as a divided flow with greater details, so you now have two chapters from it for the price of one.

In "Chapter 30: The Goddesses' Blessings", Chizrae gambles on Rindaalyn role in her rescue and gives us her own take on the Nerevarine Prophecies. This chapter is obviously heavily based on detailed lore, but is NOT the lore as it is presented in the games. It is a twist on the original, just for sake of chaos ... in true Drow fashion. ;) Also, in the this chapter Daerazal takes a gamble on Kielanai ... and is rewarded.

The final chapter, "Chapter 31: Under Sun and Sky", is the send-off for the characters to begin their next adventures as this one comes to a close. Rindaalyn faces a whole new world outside of his little yurt near Vos, and while it terrifies him, he's excited to sail into the storms and make the most of the experiences. The four remaining elves return to Seyda Neen to empty Chizrae and Talvalo's estate before their quest for a wish ring to remove Chizrae's drider curse takes them back into the Underdark.

Before anyone asks, as of right now, I have no more sequels written for this series -- for this particular story, or the Elder Scrolls progression. I do have one Skyrim short-story that I will be revising next to check errors. It is listed below for anyone interested in that. I would love to continue exploring the Elder Scrolls setting for Skyrim, or the Underdark, so I've intentionally left these endings open. But for now I must shift focus to getting my original series published. I'm in the final stages of publishing the second book in my own series, and getting ready to revise the draft for the third book.

I enjoy fan fictions and hope it won't be too long before I can return to them. Meanwhile, I sincerely hope you enjoy the stories. Please consider leaving reviews for any stories on this site (and others) that you enjoyed. (Or for any books that you enjoyed in general.) It costs the reader nothing but a few, short minutes, and it can mean a world of encouragement to help to a budding author become a better writer. :)

Original Fiction News:

For a limited time, I have decided to offer my original novel as a serial, giving weekly chapter updates ... for free. :) You can find it on its own blog at The Changeling (Blog Serial Version). I am currently working on the second book in the series, and any funding from the purchase of the first book will help publish the second book. But if you can't afford to purchase your own copy, you can still enjoy it here, risk free. Either way, reviews are welcome on my Smashwords, Amazon, and Goodreads sales pages.

The serial version of The Changeling is now also available in my new account at FictionPress and at Wattpad.

You can find me and my various contact information, book sales, blog ramblings, and other arts and obssessions at my website, Bad Cat Ink.

On my "Free Offerings" page, I have a special dedication to fan fictions and a link to my stories here. If any copyright owners of my stories here ask me to remove it, I will. But I owe a debt of gratitude to fan fiction and its readers, so I wanted to at least mention it. I am very grateful to have been able to interact with many of my readers over the years via messages or email because of sites like this giving us a place to imagine and create among other fans of our favourite games, books, movies, etc. If you decide to join me on G (plus) or FB, please speak up and let me know who you are.
