"Storytelling is the truest form of magic. With the written and oral word, I can create a whole new world, make you cry over the death of someone who never existed, and make your heart soar with every great victory." - Black Raider

Howdy y'all!

Name's Black Raider.

Don't want to give much information for obvious reasons. I'm just here to be a better writer and show you guys who I am as an author. Some things to know about me:

I like to use other languages in my story, some from I've learned in school and some from Google Translate. So sorry to those fluent in languages I used Google Translate for.

I use A LOT of imagery, detail, and symbolism (mostly imagery). If you don't like very descriptive blood/tragedies, I would suggest skipping over those parts in my stories.

I don't do raunchy stuff, but sometimes I'll touch on sensitive/triggering subjects. I will put down trigger warnings in appropriate places.

Constructive criticism and praise is appreciative, but meaningless insults are for morons who have nothing better to do than be mean.

I DO NOT role-play. I have tried it and it doesn't usually work for me. Besides, I like to focus more on my own work and style. However, I am open for giving advice on writing.

I kind of go through different obsessions, but I just hope I can show my potential no matter what I'm writing.

Enjoy my stories! I hope you love them!

BR out!

And now, something my best friend showed me.

Update as of October 18, 2017:

You may have noticed my library has shrunk. Recently, it was pointed out to me that I was not following some of Fanfiction's guidelines and was unintentionally infringing on copyrighted material. I will admit that I am guilty of reading the guidelines but not reading them closely. I followed examples I saw from other authors, who were not necessarily following the guidelines either. So I have done a complete analysis of my stories and removed any infringing content, including song lyrics to popular songs not in the public domain. From now on, any song lyrics seen in my stories will be original poems and songs I wrote for the stories. I am aware of the debate around this "what is really copyright on Fanfiction?" idea. I just don't want my stories to be deleted for innocent mistakes. I've grown over the years, and I recognize that many authors in several fandoms read my works and admire my writing. Other writers are sometimes inspired by me, and I want to set a good example for them.

So, as you are reading my future stories, I hope you enjoy my touches of original songs I include. Write on, fellow geeks! :D
