Hello!

First, let me say that if you're reading this I'm extremely flattered that you've taken enough interest in my stories to want to take note of me. I'm rather eclectic and I do tend to put some pretty bizarre stuff out there, so secondly – Welcome, fellow denizen of the land of bizarre and twisted interests.

A little about me... Well, not a lot to tell really. I'm from the west coast of Canada (Victoria BC to be precise). I'm happily married, have two cats and 2 boisterous boys.

For as long as I can remember I've always told stories to myself; often starring characters from the shows I used to watch; and (horrifyingly enough) they've often had a rather mature bent to them (I remember a dream I had once, featuring all four of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles that - for a seven-year-old - was positively x-rated). However as a dyslexic who couldn't read till grade four, and to this day can't distinguish “form” vs “from”, without assistance, the concept of writing down my stories was completely foreign to me.

In grade eight I started seriously writing and I actually completed a novel throughout the course of high school. The problem is the first three chapters, well, they survived pretty much untouched after being written. Thus, unlike the rest of the book, they feel like they were written by a high schooler (An eighth grader to be exact). And I SUCK at rewrites, I'm not even joking. I managed to fix the first chapter, eventually, by delving into the prologue material but two and three? I got nothing, and it's been a decade. So my poor baby lies derelict on my computer... hoping that some day I might be able to fix it. Forlorn and forgotten, it languishes right next to the other four books I've since started. You know, I've just never quite found the equivalent of undisturbed time provided by high school classes to manage to make any real head-way in any of them. Huh, go figure.

Then I found and I loved all the stories so much, that it has rekindled my passion for writing. And maybe, just maybe, the feedback and pressure free environment will help me find a way to work more proactively on my own plots and characters again.

Re: the aforementioned twisted and bizarre interests. So I've got a wide variety of stuff that tends to jump in and out of my head. When I’m into it, I'll admit I’m and absolute otaku for that subject until I get distr – Oh look Shiny! That being said I have folders of fanfic on this beast of a machine. Subjects including but not limited to: Batman, X-men, Fullmetal Alchemist, Ouran High School Host Club, Sherlock, and (my current succubus of a muse) Dragon Age.

Re: my style of stories and subject matter. I tend to write romances with a healthy dose of angst, and more often than not my stuff is Mature rated. Frequently the relationships in my stories are Slash (aka: graphic man on man), but I've been known to write hetero stuff as well, so long as there is some unconventional aspect to it (aka: wide age gaps, poly-amorous, cheating etc.). I also tend to make frequent forays into the world of kink (everything from mild bondage to full on S&M - though I'll be sure to put all relevant warnings stories containing such content). The biggest problem I have is that I have a bad habit of getting a brilliant little seed of an idea and having them runaway and turn into full blown epics... and with an attention span like mine... well, let's just say that none of those folders I mentioned has a completed story between them.

So, I shall now make to you, dear reader, a vow: I shall not post anything until I have at least completed the rough draft in full, and thus shall never leave a story unfinished (I know how frustrating it is to have a good story go cold for months or even years on end) nor shall I betray a story by hastily writing a 'need to end it now' conclusion.

That being said it may be quite some time between stories, both for the allowance of the completion of a rough draft, and due to the fact that I am parttime working from home mom of two bundles of mischief, who are extremely demanding of my time outside of work.

Well thanks for wading through that mess and getting to know a little about me!

Hope to hear a review from you soon!

Sincerely,

Shadowfire RavenPheonix

Stories To Look Forward To & Upcoming Projects

Butcher Paper & Twine (Gift fics I've got lined up in the order I'm attempting to get to them... they may still be awhile :P )

'Worth Keeping' - this is a Gift to the Queen of Smut (aka Hatse) who wanted to see Anders being taken apart post Chantry Destruction by Sebastian and Fenris. This will be a follow-up to 'Hot Mess Hawke' as it falls within Fell's timeline tho the man himself will make only a very brief appearance in a memory. This will be a very angst-y, slightly dub-con story full of rough sex a fair amount of 'feels'. (SLASH - threesome - DubCon)

'Dungeon Games' - A gift for Enchantm3nt who is Dom Seb fan and became a fan if Fell as Seb's 'Little Bitch' during 'Hot Mess Hawke'. Another Fell story this one has the man once again front and center and will be an epic level KINK & SMUT extravaganza. to take place after the events of 'Worth Keeping this story take us to Starkhaven where Sebastian is about to be crowned and introduces us to his new addition to the royal suit... namely his dungeon. This story will again star Sebastian and Fell, but Anders and Fenris shall both be major players as well. And lastly Zevren. (and no I'm not just throwing him in here for the hell of it - he actually has a significant role to play in Fell's overall story!See 'The Melting Pot' section of this for more) This will be less feel-y and mostly just be and exploration of various Sub/Dom play and kinks. This will get raunchy in the extreme and we'll be delving much deeper into the the world of 'deviant' sex than we did in 'Hot Mess' so fair warning. (SLASH - Fivesome - KINKY AS HELL)

On The Boil (Current Projects & Those 'smaller' fics you can expect to see soon-ish):

'The Price Of Prejudice' - this is a tragic competition fic with Hatse re: tranquility - Fenris is used against his lover to make Hawke except the rite of tranquility. Fenris is left to care for the now tranquil Hawke. ( This fic was due at the end of November But with FFNet having totally screwed Hatsepsut over, the competition is now on hold until further notice, However I Will Post my portion of this NO matter what... It just may not be anywhere near as soon) (SLASH - Feels - Some Trigger worthy events) * UPDATE * WE'RE BACK ON! still not certain about the due date at this point but with the return of Our Queen the competition is up a running again!

'Deflowering Daisy' - This should be a sexy little oneshot (though who are we kidding? It's me so I'll write it and end up having to break it up cause it got wordy :P) about Merrill feeling left out on 'Maiden's Eve' (my version of Valentine's Day in Thedas) after watching all the other companions pair off and go home for their own sexy fun-times. Leaving her alone... with Varric. What follows will hopefully be a funny and tasty little exploration of my favorite -Virgin!- Kink with a very eager but rather clueless Merrill who will have Varric Face-palming and wondering why he ever agreed to this before the night is over. (VIRGIN - HUMOR - still NSFW! but honestly downright Fluffy for me...)

On A Simmer (Bigger 'Epic' Level fics I'm currently drafting & Smaller ideas that I hope to start soon...)

'All The Pretty Boys' - This is the first of my 'Big Fics' that you are likely to see. it's a reverse harem fic that will see a virginal Hawke put under a lust curse and eventually having to take all her male companions into her bed as her curse driven need for sex and sexual deviance grow.

"Gwendolyn Hawke has always had something about her that men have found irresistible; and yet, no man (or woman) has ever been able to rouse a matching sense of desire in her own heart. So, our virginal Hawke finds herself building her own little mercenary company out of the abandoned strays of Kirkwall. Amongst them, the charming and sweet tempered healer, Anders, and the exotic taciturn elven warrior, Fenris; Both of whom are quickly smitten with the lovely, kindhearted mage. And still, thought her heart brims over with affection for these men, neither manages to bestir a spark of true desire within her blood. As the years pass Hawke actually begins to suspect there is something wrong with her, that no one has ever managed to call forth the heat of her passion... before a certain Exiled Prince enters into her life, that is. But Sebastian is sworn to the Chantry and she is an apostate hiding form the circle even as her notoriety grows with each passing year. It seems The Maker has a cruel scene of humor and that our poor Hawke is simply doomed to never know the touch of a man. Until she steps between Isabela and a particularly nasty piece of Tevinter spell work. In that one selfless moment, Hawke changes the course of her entire life (and those of her companions) forever.'

Don't expect to see this for a while - it is a 25 Act Story and several of those acts will include multiple scenes (aka chapters) (PLOYAMORUS - DUB-CON/NON-CON - KINK!)

The Melting Pot (Big and Small Fics still in their infancy but due to their potential impact on other plots... well we may see them jump the que)

A Fell Wind - Fell Hawke's tale form his birth until the end of the deep-roads. It's Fell so it's clearly not gonna be sex free... but nothing serious in this will involve any of the companions, so don't expect it. (Blood Magic - SLASH - RAPE - Character Death)

Fell In Love - This is the Fenris and Anders debacle so heavily hinted at in 'Hot Mess' and it will be quite large. It covers most of Act II right through to the end, and involves two relationships which heavily impact each other. Fenris' aggressive pursuit of a reluctant Fell followed by his immediate panic and departure, which triggers Fell's revenge in the form of his taking up with Anders. (VERY NSFW - SLASH - FEELS!! - ANGST )

A Jolly Roger - How Isabela and Fell hooked up after the Arishock's death. This will be a smaller fic (I hesitate to say oneshot cause that just ain't working out for me ;P) just the after party. (SMUT!)

What About Sex - [this is the immediate sequel to Hot Mess] Their night spent with Sebastian has opened Isabela's eyes to the need for there to be a regular third in Hawke's bed if she's going to keep him truly happy. A man he can come to trust enough to top him, but whom doesn't make Isabela feels quite as threatened as Sebastian did with his skill and knowledge of S&M, and Dominance-play. So when Fell returns from a job with a sexy Antivain elf in toe the pirate knows just exactly what she needs to do... (SLASH - THREESOME - OPEN POLYAMORUS)

On the Back Burner (My Behemoth Fic - Yeah this one is gonna be a while...)

THE PASSIONS - This is my 'Passion's Universe'(as the name suggests) which consists of four 'Epic' level books encompassing the events of Origins, Awakening & DA-II but then breaks off and heads in a different direction that Inquisition...

'Ferelden Fire' Is a two-Warden retelling of Orgins that will focus mostly on the relationships of our Warden's and their companions. Meet Gareth Cousland and Seralithari of the Dalish. The life and love affairs of these two are epic in their scope for tenderness, steamy smut, humor and tragedy and at the root of everything that is to follow 'Awkward Awakenings' Covers the events of Awakening (obviously) While the 'Kirkwall Encounters' will see use Following Anders as he flees the Wardens only to meet Reth Hawke and Finally We have reached 'The Vigil Vignettes' - where all the pay off really happens. This is the way I wanted things to go after DA-II and is full of simultaneous/parallel angst-driven love stories. It is also liberally peppered with OCs (You name it this Universe has it! NOTHING is scared here!)
