Black Swordhide bio
 Author has written 62 stories for Phantasy Star, Melanie Rawn, Dune, Yu-Gi-Oh, Total War series, Persona Series, and Fate/stay night. Welcome! The nom de plume is Black Sword. I've been writing fanfiction for a good many years now, with a marked preference for Sci-fi and Fantasy, though I dabble in poetry as well. It's been years since I've written fan fiction, but I've been on a Phantasy Star kick, so I'll likely be grinding away for a while. I also write original fiction, and run a start-up online publisher for original fiction. Presently, I'm on a PSIII kick, and have a grandiose scheme for three arcs of stories. At present, I finished the last arc first (bad move on my part) and have moved on to the first arc. Hopefully, my retelling of the first generation will approach things from a new, fresh look. After I've finished that, I'll be working on the last of the PSIII arcs, titled the Champions Arc. From there, PSI and PSII stories will be imminent, and even more besides. Anyway, all of my stories are available at the Phantasy Star Cave, so swing by and check out a massive treasure hoard of Phantasy Star material! Also, PLEASE READ THE STORIES IN ORDER. They are separate stories, but they are all connected and interlinked. Anyway, I'm also in the process of gathering information for a novelization of Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey. That project will take some time to form, however. My next project is at present unknown. I am considering working in either Fate/Stay Night, Phantasy Star I+Gaiden, or Strange Journey. Headwaters Arc Champions Arc Royal Twins Arc I've worked in various universes, (including my own!) and I've noticed I've gotten much better over the years. I'm tempted to take down the really old stuff, but I'll pass for now. Always good to remind yourself of how far you've come. Feel free to PM if you'd like to know more. |
