October 10th, 2014 - I have had a...bit of an issue. My poor laptop did not survive it's baptism, and now is resting in peace. Soon to be pieces. I am going to be a bit delayed while I get the new computer up and running, but will be back soon.

I have walked the edge of the Abyss.

I have governed the unwilling.
I have witnessed countless empires break before me.
I have seen the most courageous soldiers fall away in fear.
[I was there with the Angel at the tomb.]

I have seen your future.
And I have learned.

There will be no more Sadness. No more Anger. No more Envy.

I HAVE WON.

Oh, and your poet Eliot had it all wrong,
THIS is the way the world ends.

And I think you will find I do not like being tested

Hi, and thanks for having a look at my profile! To keep it short and simple: I'm a college graduate, not (quite) 30, and would like to think I am a writer on in the free time I have. Relatively Active in the "Aria's Afterlife" Forum here on FFN. Current projects listed below:

Mass Effect Duality: Book 1 (By Sharp and Flame) - Status: In Progress. Update Schedule: Approximately once a Month - This is the first story I started and the one that I will finish if it kills me. In addition to writing additional chapters for this, it's also undergoing a re-write of the earlier chapters as well, to both clarify some discrepancies as well as fix some of my earlier writing mistakes. Re-Write Chapters will go up as they are completed.

Mass Displacement: - Status: In Progress - Update Schedule: Approximately one per two weeks. -This started out as a fun pet project, joke, and just general silliness. The damn thing has taken a life of it's own though. It is a self-insert, but I hope it's a unique enough take that people enjoy it. - The Current focus of my Camp Nano writing this month. Whoo hoo!

Chest of Memories - Status: In progress - Update Schedule: Hell if I know XD - This series spawned out a writing for one of the contest entries from Aria's Afterlife "Hope Chest" which I loved ended in a way that didn't really leave me room to maneuver. Chest of Memories is a alternate version in some ways that does. I recommend reading Hope Chest before Chest of Memories. Updates for this as the mood strikes me and I complete chapters.

Mass Effect: Titan's Shadow - Status: In Progress - Update Schedule: Unknown. - This spawned out of a few too many hours playing Space Hulk, combined with a former RP character demanding to have her own stage to play around in. This is TENTATIVELY going to be part of Mass Effect Duality, but not focused around the same characters.

The Dresden Files: Windcall - Status: In Progress, Unposted - Update Planned: Tentatively October 31 - I love Urban Fantasy, and the Dresden Files are my favorite book series at this time. This is planned as story focusing on a original character, interacting with Members of the Paranet. Set, during the last few hours of Changes and forward.

A Very Krogan Christmas - Status: On Hiatus - Update Schedule: Next Planned series of Chapters expected between November and December before Christmas -- This was another writing contest entry for Aria's Afterlife, and DEAR GOD IT WAS FUN TO WRITE. Quasi-Possibly contains spoilers for Mass Effect Duality, but I haven't decided if this is going to be cannon, an alternate ending or what. Chapters 1-4 span one christmas. Chapters 5-8 are planned to span another Holiday, 5-10 years farther in the future.

The Heavens Shall Tremble - Status: On Hiatus - Update Planned: Unknown. With the number of active projects I have, and the fact I need to make several world decisions on how to proceed with this based on the events of Reaper of Souls, I have placed this on an indefinate hold. I intend to come back to this, but I need time to think, which really means, I need to get some other stuff done first.
