Yes, I have a beard.
And it is a sign of awesomeness.

No challenges, please.

Starcrest Dream (New Horizons) - DA-6594-0940-7995

[Edit] It would seem my stories are good enough that someone has tried to steal them. My thanks to all who alerted me to Hunter Water's attempt to pass off two of my stories as his own on Wattpad. Thanks for looking out for me.

[Edit 2] Valentine20xx has asked for and received permission to do a reinterpretation of Memories Of Others on AO3. I am fully aware of it and have bookmarked it on my own AO3 account.

[Edit 3] Due to the excessive amounts of adverts that now litter this site and break up the stories (what was wrong with side-banners?), I have migrated my stories across to AO3 under the same name. As a result, some of the migrated stories now contain links to their counterpart pages on TVTropes (links located in the cover pictures where applicable).
My AO3 account can now be considered my primary story account.

Message received from Greyff

"I'm gradually deleting all the stories because I have repeatedly gotten "triggered" messages about someone finding this or that story offensive or misogynistic or insensitive on. So, I'm gradually deleting them. The SJW/outrage culture is something I've fought against in the past but I've gotten old and tired."

... my condolences to Greyff who has fought a hard fight against those who are incapable of knowing better.

The story Mischief Fragment Phoenix has been temporarily resurrected here. Please do not complain to Greyff about it.
With the same provisios, Mischief Fragment Mjolnir is here for now.

Hints for aspiring authors

Do not post a story until you have written at least 6 chapters or half the story (whichever is less), and even then post it one chapter at a time. This buys you a safety margin should your muse decide to hide.
Use the return button to separate descriptive passages and people talking. Large blocks of text can be difficult to read.
Keep your tenses correct. Accidentally switching between past, present and future in a single paragraph destroys your credibility as a writer.
Check your spelling. It's vrey anonyngi fi yuo dnot'.
Chapters less than a thousand words long rarely work. Type at least two pages of A4 unless there's a specific reason otherwise.
Too many flashbacks can spoil a story if not used correctly. It is very hard to do so and flashback stories like this one are very rare as a result.
Try to set things up before you need them in story. If a character uses a special sword, have him find it three or more chapters before he uses it.
Sometimes, what happens off-screen is more impressive than what happens onscreen. Just remember to include several hints as to what occurred.
Six or more paragraphs with no-one speaking is generally seen as an infodump. Limit them to a maximum of 2 per chapter and never over a quarter of the chapter.
Summaries are like mini-dresses. They should cover the important things, but be short enough to seize attention. Just don't do too many what if's.
Finally, write what you enjoy. After all, you need the entertainment.

Hints for readers regarding summaries

If it says "Please read", DON'T.
If it says "You'll like/enjoy this, YOU WON'T.
More than one "What if" means it is probably unreadable.
Three or more "what if's" means you should keep well away.
More than one typo is a bad sign.
If the summary is incoherent, the story is written worse than Finnegan's Wake.
If it says "Better than it sounds", it actually means it's far worse.
SUMMARIES IN CAPITALS GENERALLY MEAN AVOID THE STORY

Hints for those posting reviews

Be polite. Swearing indicates that you lack intelligence while insults show you lack self-control.
Be brief. A five-thousand word essay is not a review. Keep it to less than 100 words.
Explain. Something like "This sucks, so there." shows you cannot marshal your thoughts coherently and can thus be ignored.
Get an account. You will not be taken seriously if you do not show you have taken the time to join in properly.
Back up your stance. Do not accuse others of bad writing unless you can describe exactly what the problems are and suggestions on how to solve them. Making grammar/spelling errors in your reviews while doing this will lead to you being laughed at.
Think carefully before posting. Others only know you through what you post, don't make them think you're a self-righteous moron with delusions of adequacy.
