Cthulhu 2020! Choose The Greater Evil!

Update: 03-06-20

As of now, Of Lions And Angels is now fresh with a brand-new chapter posted, and three more finished (with spellchecking and editing still needing to be done) with number four out of fifteen now in the works. AD ASTRA NOVERIA!

And for some strange damn reason I decided to break reality with my knee and introduce an extremely unusual idea that others have only touched... but now I OWN!

The Avengers: Disney Princess Edition is now available on your device. GIRL POWER REDEFINED!

Stories I'm currently working on:

The Avengers: Disney Princess Edition

The Old World, 1888; Steam is King, we sail the seas in metal ships and float on dirigibles. And the depths of a French cave, a secret laboratory studying a brass lamp is absconded by a woman who would be Empress in her bid to take over the world, both above and beneath the waves! When seas rise and chaos looms, who does the world turn to? A national hero who was buried outside of time. A genius Frenchwoman powered by steam. A girl who is the host of nature's darker side. A headstrong Scottish lass with an aim to die for. A runaway Czarina with a black past. A woman of the sea armed with her father's trident. With black magic abound and Europe itself threatened?

No one's going to tell these ladies to mind their manners.

Jennifer Walters: Avenger-In-Law

Avengers? Meet the woman who will become the She-Hulk! Set in the MCU, I've AU'ed this story to 'substantial' as I introduce a post-Battle of NY view of the Avengers with a lawyer from SoCal (who is also the cousin of Bruce Banner). Earth-616, Earth-1610, Earth-1999999, and Earth-1218 have all been meshed and inserted to create a new form of Avengers... ran by a lawyer who proved Thor to be a God in a courtroom. Inclusions of both movie Avengers, Netflix Avengers, and comic Avengers, with some rather radical changes to a few such as a tech-savvy Ms. Marvel/Kamala Khan and a badass version of Doreen Green/Squirrel Girl that doesn't involve the word cute at all.

Currently 1/3 done with the SuperARC that is Captain America: Winter Soldier involving no less than Edward Snowden.

Wild Appalachia

A Fallout 76 story with heavy plot elements of the main quest from Fallout 3, meshing with a young 19 year old woman from a Control Vault in search for her mother, the Overseer, after Reclamation Day. I promise plot, scorched, ghouls, bullets, survival, and a harrowing tale of a young woman's journey in a post-apocalyptic West Virginia.

Currently on ARC I: The Day We've All Been Waiting For

LiveC-SEC

What happens when you make a reality show featuring police officers? You get COPS. What happens when you put CopShep in front of a camera with a rookie reporter and have her patrol the worst sections of the Citadel? You get a catastrophe. Meet Decantus/Corporal Jane Catherine Shepard, three-year C-SEC Vet of the Orlop Wards, Outer Tract, Zakera Arm; the highest crime-rate section of the Citadel. Joining forces with a rookie interactive reporter named Mike Greene, together they take a bite out of crime.

Season 1: Big Hit is complete.

Currently on Season 2: Armed And Dangerous.

Pathfinder Down

A survival story in the Mass Effect: Andromeda game, the events are mired in the ice age world of Voeld where Commander Sara Elaine Ryder and TEAM PATHFINDER are currently working with Angaran Special Forces, the Heskaarl, to erode Kett effectiveness on Voeld. Yet when a routine mission involving taking down a normal communications outposts ends with the Pathfinders' shuttle being struck down during a fierce blizzard, TEAM PATHFINDER is divided physically as a rescue is mounted through the worst weather in Voeld's recorded history.

ARC I: Pathfinder Down is complete.

Currently on ARC II: The Perfect Storm

Sister Jane Shepard, Citadel Mormon Missionary

16-year old Mindoir colonist Jane Shepard has elected the Citadel as her stake-of-choice to become the first Mormon Missionary to the Citadel. A young woman in the Center of the Known Universe learns of new cultures, meets new people, and finds that she learns just as much as she teaches as faith is tested, goals are struck, and a world unlike any other is crafted as tensions run high amongst the species of the galaxy when an event that may lead to war brings a young Mormon woman to the realization that it's not just about the faith, but the work as well.

Mass Effect: Of Lions And Angels

Jane Shepard? Meet Sara Ryder: Milky Way. BFF's stuck in the first Mass Effect, where everyone has gotten an upgrade, both heroes and villains. Rather heavy AU with an emphasis towards FutureTech (along with hacking terms and future concepts), military tactics and jargon, plot, story, drama, and lots of smack-talking. Join an Engineer N7 and a Marine Corpsman along with the crew of the Normandy as I walk you through a reimage of Mass Effect where the Citadel is expanded, the Arc is visited, the enemies redefine evil, and family gets redefined. I'm working on developing unique concepts (Sara Ryder in the Milky Way, for one), expanding Mass Effect's technology (Jannie has drones and lots of tech candy), exploring a world barely visited (the Citadel gets an overhaul), and the missions are set at Doom's UltraViolence (because this isn't a walk in the park).

Updates are set at five times a month, generally the 1st, 6th, 12th, 18th, and 24th of a month so I can plug a five-chapter ARC and finish this monster of a story that might end up at about 120 Chapters/1 Million words!

I do apologize for the year-long wait for chapter 50, but real-life as well as JW:AIL came and kicked me in the ass. I just kicked back.

Currently on ARC XI: The SPECTRES Of Humanity

Hints, Allegations, And Stories Somewhat Worked Upon:

Battle Royale: Fett vs. Shepard - No Disintegrations

The Hound of Mandalore. The Butcher of Torfan. A head-to-head battle between the galaxy's most ruthless bounty hunter and Humanity's most lethal N7 set during the events of Mass Effect 1. No disintegrations *glare*!

(Updated whenever I'm not banging out Of Lions And Angels)

Battle Royale: Predator vs. Vakarian - Omega Jungle

The hunter of hunters, a predator of the stars, has come to Omega with a few days to kill. An Archangel haunts the criminal port, striking against the oppressors. When bodies of criminals are discovered skinned and heads missing or their skulls blown off, monsters will know the meaning of fear. When the greatest of predators and the best Turian sniper clash, whoever wins? They lose.

(Started a decent outline and will probably update along with Fett vs. Shepard when I kick it off. Looking forward to this one!)

The ONI Dossiers: Jane Catherine Shepard

Inspired by LogicalPremise's STG Files and Cerberus Files, a comprehendum of the Lion of Elysium and Humanity's First SPECTRE, Jane Catherine Shepard from Of Lions And Angels. Complete with history, facts, background, and a few other things not exactly detailed or only hinted throughout the story.

(Ugh, the formatting part is hard, but trying to make it like an Intelligence Brief. Probably put this one-shot up before the end of the year)

The ONI Dossiers: Sara Elaine Ryder

Inspired by LogicalPremise's STG Files and Cerberus Files, a comprehendum of the Angel of Illyeria and the Citadel's Firstborn Human, Sara Elaine Ryder from Of Lions And Angels. Complete with history, facts, background, and a few other things not exactly detailed or only hinted throughout the story.

(Same with Shepard's ONI Dossier. I might do a couple of others as the story progresses. Wrex would be funny to do.)

Of Lions And Angels 2: Insurgents

About a ten-thousand word outline is currently being looked at. Don't expect a lot of canon-following as I execute ME: Andromeda, revamp and amp everything with even more steroids, and blow your minds away with ideas of what really makes the galaxy twitch.

Seriously, I upgraded TIM. It's stellar. And horrifying.

Dangerous Liaisons

A spy-thriller set solely in the Mass Effect: Andromeda universe. Coming up with (what I think is) a unique idea, I'm currently forging a story that is crafted with intrigue, deception, espionage, and betrayal in mind. This isn't a retelling of ME:A; this is a story that will completely focus on one location in the Heleus Cluster after the setup on Luna, spending a few chapters on set-up for background and situation establishment before fast-forwarding past the arrival of the Andromeda Galaxy and naming of the new Pathfinder. A four-person POV story that focuses on the darker side of humanity, where politics is murder, and a game of thrones ensues involving a Pathfinder and multiple plots and situations. Very much off my current comfort level of military sci-fi and straight into a semi-techo thriller/libre noir story. No clues giving; this is a mystery on purpose!

Shelved:

A Fox Amongst The Wolves (Developmental Hell)

Due to my previous laptop committing BSOD suicide, I lost something like 150,000 words on the current ARC Human Lives Matter, and about 50,000 in the next two ARCs, A Paragon Of Her Kind and The Third Unification War. I have rewritten... all of a chapter. It's hard to restart when you know you had great and can't remember it all (or close to a tenth of it). I will get to it. [No, probably not, considering I've used a quarter of my ideas in Of Lions And Angels].

Um... about me?

I exist on the Prime Material Plane. And I do the same thing every night; try to take over the world!

List of Author/Stories I Recommend:

SomethingProfound11's "Estrangement" - Surprisingly, we shared a lot of similar ideas about ME1 without any correspondence whatsoever. SP11 shows a good deal of inner-workings and clever insights that adds more to the story about the people on-board a ship than most ever even touch. A wonderful re-telling of ME1 (with a sequel "What Lives In The Dark" in the works currently!) that shows the efforts of a good author. Also check out "The Talk" for a good giggle or three as poor Sara Ryder gets a very sad case of the birds and the bees from an unlikely source in an unlikely manner!

Exodia-Girl's "Mass Effect" - A brilliant show of military tactics and personal effort for someone who has never served in the military, E-G can certainly put a reader into the personal boots of someone on the ground. Most certainly a Reaper-less AU, this TV Series-esque is quite different from the normal novelization and AU, crafting a rather unique story that doesn't follow the rules and instead forges its own creative path.

MosaicCreme's "The Lives And Deaths Of Commander Shepard" - This HUGE story (750k words) is one of the best 'novelization-that-isn't' stories that I've ever encountered. Using a creative 'redo' plotline, this story really pulls at the reader, going through the motions while leaving you guessing. "Targeted Interference" is also an interesting story that deserves a look as well. Don't try outsmarting her; she has like four degrees!

LogicalPremise's "Of Sheep And Battle Chicken" - This series has been going on for over 6 years, is on its third story, and has damn near FORTY addendums and stories for you to peruse in this grim-dark Warhammer 40k-esque universe where there are no 'good' guys. This series touches everything; behind-the-scenes, politics, even newscasts and legit interviews, while also including a whole host of realistic O/C's, entire histories of enemies, legends and pariahs, and a very dark Sara Ying Shepard.

DigitalHelix's "All In The Details" - Probably the only Mass Effect story that deserves the 'Futurized/Cyberpunk' category for an already Sci-Fi category, this acronym and technology-heavy story employs a view of the future that exceeds most anything you'll likely see in media; print or visual. While the plot itself adheres to the game faithfully, the true brilliance of it is in the way FutureTech is shown; it's far beyond anything I've encountered in a Sci-Fi story, though I'll fully admit I haven't read everything yet (not from lack of trying). This story is William Gibson-like in ingenuity and imagination, and is worthy of looking upon.

Chimerean's "Shattered Reality" - The most unique Self-Insert (in fact, it's a double Self-Insert with a duel-authored story!) I've ever encountered, even non-SI fans can appreciate this one. Intelligent, verbose, with wide sweeping references of RL memes and links, and a story where the SIs (both of them) aren't running around blasting shit like they're Special Forces, this story certainly starts in an unusual fashion in an unusual location, and blasts off in an unusual direction. Creative and unique, this story while have you boggled as it takes a leap into an unknown (and as far as I'm aware, still completely unique) direction.

Meytel's "The Spirit Of Redemption" - Quite possibly one of the longest stories in FanFiction (it sits at just shy of 3.5 million words), this 'started right after ME2' story is one of the fullest and most in-depth stories that holds broad arcs in plot and design, encompassing years of storytime, and a great deal of originality. Featuring unique enemies, ideas, characters, situations, scenarios, and getting a little bit of a grin at Meytel tried to outguess Mass Effect 3 before it came out (the Collectors were a predominate enemy in her version), this story sweeps most everything off the board. This story covers a great deal of future concepts, ideas, and fleses out a great deal on things like Batarian culture, cloning, hybridization, and boasts ideas that are rather jaw-dropping. Meytel spends chapters on ideas (and each chapter itself is generally 10k words) and really makes you feel like you are in the story's passage of time instead of jumping around from mission to mission. If you've got about a year or so to kill, certainly check this story out. 3.5 million words... that's a 4,000 page paperback novel.
