Normally, I live a rich fantasy life inside my head, but if you must...

In real life I am a flunkie at the mega evil of all evils: a casual gaming company! The money I make fuels my passion for all things comic book, video game, and food. In my spare time I doodle, play Tetris, go to work some more, and maintain random gaming groups on DeviantArt.

I grew up on Lloyd Alexander and Terry Pratchett books and watching cheesy Asian kung-fu flicks, and my heart has always belonged to the realm of action-adventure and epic fantasy. I make time for brief affairs with sci-fi and reality, however, although I have a strong inclination towards surreal fiction and Theater of the Absurd, and my epic lifelong quest is to very slooowly read Lao Tze’s Tao Te Jing. As point of reference, some of my other favorite authors not already mentioned include: Marilynne Robinson, John McPhee, Tom Wolfe, John Steinbeck, Weis & Hickman, Robert Aspirin, George MacDonald, Doris Lessing, Jane Austen, William Shakespeare, and Tom Stoppard.

STORIES GUIDE

oooooOOOOO]-[ Jade Empire ]-[OOOOOooooo

A Dream of Blood and Snow—Dreaming Snow has fallen to Sun Li, but at the heart of Dirge is an evil whose defeat can restore her to life. The path of demons, gods, and men collide in an epic story that has grown way too large for it’s own good. Story stars female PC in a world where she chose the CF ending, but with a twist. An Elseworld story leading to the final fight in Dirge. STATUS: Part 22 has been sitting on my desk for years...

“From Autumn Into Fall”—Wu the Lotus Blossom has saved the Empire, set Sun Lian on the throne, and restored the balance of the Great Wheel. Yet a struggle within her heart drives her deeper and deeper into the fires of conflict, and even those she loves most may not be able to pull her back when she falls too far. Short drabble. Premise is based on a similar sequence from Jet Li’s movie Fearless. *complete*

“Scars”—A Black Whirlwind one-shot written for JDCorley’s “Fanfic of the Week” challenge. Read more about it on the Jade Empire Fan Forum. *complete*

oooooOOOOO]-[ Knights of the Old Republic ]-[OOOOOooooo

“Just Another Crazy Beginning”—Stories don't always start where you think they do. A humorous Knights of the Old Republic (KotOR) one-shot. I get the dubious honor of submitting Star Wars: KOTOR fanfic #666. *complete*

“Don't Worry! Everyone Crashes on Taris!”—Revan’s potty-mouthed, bad-mannered, noodle-legged adventures continue with this follow-up tale to "Just Another Crazy Beginning." This time in Taris! (Yeah, that was a big surprise there…) STATUS: Part 1 posted 12/7/2009, Part 2, indefinite.

“Chiasmus”—My attempt at an angsty Carth/Revan romance fic. On the final stop at Manaan, Carth and Revan reveal their true feelings about each other.*complete*

“The Last Wait”—Not a lot of people get this, but it's actually a DSM!Revan/DS!Bastila piece centered around Bastila's mother, Helena, being murdered at the hands of her daughter. Just one of those loose ends every Sith needs to tie up before going on to conquer the galaxy. *complete*

“Silent Words for Tomorrow”—A different take on the standard KotOR FemRevan/Carth fluffy romance. STATUS: been half finished on my desk for 2 years. Maybe I'll finish once SW:TOR comes out!

oooooOOOOO]-[ Dragon Age ]-[OOOOOooooo

"Echoes"—Down in the Deep Roads, echoes never fade. And failures can haunt you for eternity... *complete*

"The One Who Loves You"—Post Dragon Age: Origins epilogue. A "what-if" take on a more complex love triangle than you get in the game. *complete*

"Sturm und Drang"—A Jowan/Amell fic inspired by a Dragon Age: Origins roleplay I'm currently participating in. *complete*

"A Recipe for Cake"—Short story about the the student mages of Kinloch Hold/The Circle Tower of Ferelden. Featuring the Misadventurers, Kylla and Ereb! *complete*

"The Himbo Chronicles"—The very short and suggestive ramblings of King Cailan Theirin's campaign again The Blight. A must-read for Cailan fans who like shiny, shiny golden armor. *complete*

"'Twas Not As If She Loved Him"—Morrigan and Alistair romance requested by Polymorphicgirl on DeviantArt. STATUS: Slow work but current project.

Oh, and because it's fashionable (and more or less polite) to point out that fanfiction writers don't own the intellectual property on the interesting licensed characters they're taking licenses with, I don't own the intellectual property on the characters of anything that I'm taking licenses with. But I'd happily donate everything I write to Bioware and whoever cares to use it, free of charge and lawsuits. If you're reading this: Yes, that means I just declared myself totally cribable, because I did just donate everything into the public domain. And if someone out there actually wants to crib what I've written, why, I'm so flattered... thank you, thank you.
