Recent Projects:

Mass Effect Chronicles - A retelling of the Mass Effect trilogy with as many plot holes and inconsistencies removed. And I've even added my own bits of lore where BioWare decided to skimp out on, such as more history and culture for each species and mysteries that weren't in the games. Keep in mind, this is a FemShep story, so if for some reason you're horrified by strong female characters, this might not be the story for you. But if you're a fan of the Mass Effect Trilogy, then feel free to join in and immerse yourself in the Mass Effect universe with all the characters we love and hate.

Spirit of Valor - A Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town fanfiction that I've been trying to write in my head for about 10 years now. Finally fed up with my ADD jacking things up, I decided to put it on paper. Hope you guys enjoy it, if you read it at all. Currently on hold while I finish the beast of a fic that is my Fallout 3 fic.

Vahkiinra - My first attempt at first person POV and writing from the perspective of someone besides the main character. It's a Skyrim story about an intimidating Nord woman who finds out that she's the fabled Dragonborn. Join the people of Skyrim as they watch the rise of the Dovahkiin.

Future Projects:
Mass Effect 2
Mass Effect 3
Updating my old stories to my new writing style. Yes, that means all of them. So if you enjoyed them, but were a little put off by the amateurish writing style, don't hold your breath because they are eventually getting updated.

In case you haven't noticed, I have big aspirations for the future. So if you're a fan of mine, or of my stories, I hope you're in for the long haul. Because I have good things in store for the future.

A Brothers Journey - Pokemon Silver
Finally, the younger brother of a missing champion becomes a trainer and decides to follow in his footsteps.

Lets hope the heat is the worst of his problems.

Spirit of Valor - Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town
Jack has issues. Serious issues, the kind that people usually pay high dollar psychologists and brain pokers to deal with. But, instead, he thought he'd try living a simple life on the farm of an old family friend. As it turns out, Mineral Town has its own dark secrets. Follow along as Jack not only deals with his own haunting past, but helps the small town break free of a stranglehold that has gripped it for some time now.

Favorite Authors:

Peter J. Marcroft - A very talented writer who created an insanely awesome Final Fantasy 7 fic. "Curse of Memory" is a novelization of Final Fantasy 7 and has to be one of the best stories I have ever read on this site. Highly recommended by me to anybody who likes a good action novel.

Rune Reverend - Wrote one of my personal favorite Harvest Moon fics. Is an obvious HM fan, and likes Sonic the Hedgehog, who is a personal hero of myself. Though I may be more of a Knuckles fan, this writer definitely deserves a round of applause for his "Valentine Conspiracy" fic.

Mr. Clark - The writer of the Halo fic "The End of a War". This story takes place immediately after Halo 2, with Arbiter's final battle against Tartarus. This writer captivates Halo like no other and is an excellent author to every bodies favorite 'kill all aliens' game. If you liked the Halo novels, then you will love his story.

Myetel - Words cannot describe what this author's story did to me. For about six full months I was so enthralled in her story known as "Spirit of Redemption" that I thought I'd never come out of it. I'm also pretty sure that I never wanted to at some point. Her pre-Mass Effect 3 era sequel to Mass Effect 3 was so inspiring that it literally carved my writer's block into a statuette that now sits on my desk. If you enjoy my stories, or are looking for an amazing tale of the Mass Effect universe, then please visit her, and tell her how awesome she is.

Peacewish - An author I stumbled onto in my spare time, while I searched fruitlessly for a fanfiction in the YuGiOh! universe that would give me at least a part of the same satisfaction I got from the show. Card battles, suspense, intriguing villains, etc. Well, this story has none of that. And while I do dislike shipping with a burning passion, this author completely blew me out of the water with their fic known as "Coffee Girl", a story about Seto and Serenity. It was short, sweet, and simply amazing and gratifying to read. If you're a YuGiOh! fan, whether you're into this pairing or not, I'd definitely recommend this story to you. If you love the characters, then you'll love this story.

These are all great writers who deserve a reward for all their hard work on stories that blow the mind. Unfortunately, all I can do to reward them is to tell others what great stories they have in high hopes that they will read it themselves. Here's hoping that one day, I will become half the author they are.

Hope you enjoyed the profile! If you wish to contact me for any reason, you can do so through Steam (RiotDragonX) or just pm me here, and I will reply.
