I'm The4Ryan9, on some other sites I might be just 4Ryan9 and most people just call me Ryan. I'm American and currently in college so that may get in the way of my stories every once in a while. I'm currently operating on a weekly update schedule where I post every Saturday morning American east coast time, what story I plan to update will be in the AN for the last fic I updated.

I primarily write, and read, FSN fics though I do have ideas for non-nasuverse stories if and when I write them is up in the air. Other than Fate, which is really what got me into this site enough to even consider writing, I also have an interest in and plans for other things, like SAO, Pokemon, and Fire Emblem.

Current Status of my stories:

Awakening to Battle: Actively working on.
All I can really say is I'm trying. This story has been plagued with issues because of my poor short term planning. I have plenty of plans for much later in the story, but I've been improvising most of the current arc and that's not gonna fly anymore. I've also got a couple of writing tricks and a slightly different style I think this story sorely needs, so I'm working on getting those developed through some practice pieces and maybe a one-shot before I use them on a more serious work. I'm going to do everything I can to get this updated by early January, and then keep it regularly updated.

From the Game to the Grail: Actively working on.
The story is almost done, 3-4 chapters cap, counting an epilogue. My goal is finishing this by the end of the year so I can focus on AtB.

Magecaft and Madness: Queued

I want to work on this more actively, and I plan to in the near future, but my other two stories are the priority right now, I'm hoping to start work on this again in January or February at the latest.

Foreign Heroes: On Hold

I'm trying to get all my other works back on pace before I go back to this. I do have plans to add more stat sheets, but I'm not going to invest time into that until my other stories are where I'd like them and I've got a good writing pace.

Servants of Aincrad: Abandoned
Give up hope now, I hate this story and have no plans to finish it. Now, that's not to say I don't like the idea behind it, or some of the things that I did in it. I personally still like the idea and think that it's a great idea if you can get over how much of a stretch it is that some of these people are actually Heroic Spirits. Some of the Servant designs in the story are actually some of my favorite I ever made, Klein is one of my favorite ever since the idea of his guild being his Noble Phantasm fits him perfectly and the Divine Stone of Returning Soul gives him a 'trump card', not in the form of any amazing attack strength but simply an item that approaches true magic. But the story's writing is absolute shit, some of the chapters have ANs almost as long as the actual chapter, I make several blatant errors in lore and the very foundation of the story is a major stretch already. I have no plans to finish the story, and while I may rewrite it one day that day is far away at best.

The Fate of a Certain Sword: One-Shot, Complete.
The story was posted as nothing more than a bonus/apology for not being able to update anything one time when I said I would. It was written long before it was posted and was simply an idea that wouldn't leave me alone until I did something with it. It could be a longer fully fleshed out story but I don't know enough about To Aru lore to write it without major errors (honestly there's probably a bunch in what I DID write). I did offer to let someone adopt the idea themselves and even link to their fic in my own, no one has yet done that.
