Fanfictions
While some might see fanfiction as unprofessional, it was through fanfics like the ones below that I was able to hone my craft and develop my wonderful characters. If you’re curious in how some like Shiva got their start, please feel free to check out these non-profit stories.
And if you’re curious in seeing them interact in short adventures, consider checking out the posts on the Friendship is Awesome Forum, where Shiva and my other characters interact with characters from other great writers, going on adventures and living their lives. We update pretty regularly with new posts and adventures, and I’d love the chance to share our stories and characters with all of you.
Quick Warning: the forum and some of the fanfictions contain mature content that is not for all ages. Viewer Discretion is advised.
- The Lone Wolf of Equestria: A character experiment involving my character Logan Wolfe; a juvenile delinquent used to rebelling against corrupt authority. Though his attitude will be put to the test when he finds himself trying to defy an ultimately benevolent authority figure only concerned with his safety.
- Also has three sequels: Battle for the Crystal Empire, Back to the Pack, and Wolves of Equestria.
- The Howlite Howler: my first draft of what would become ‘Of Scales and Fur – Shiva,’ though one that takes Shiva to a much different place than the Roads of Gaia.
- Has four sequels: Howlite Howler 2: Trust Denied, Howlite Howler 3, Son of the Howlite Howler (Itself a first draft of sorts to Of Scales and Fur – Celine), and Legacy of the Howlite Howler.
- Survival of the Wolves: An alternate draft of Shiva’s story involving my character Star Wing, mainly made to give Star Wing some fleshing out and explaining her backstory.
- Star of the Sea: An alternate re-telling of Star Wing’s backstory, utilized in a crossover with the characters of author Silver Dragon Blade Wing.
- The Drake Six: An on-going series of adventures featuring my characters Star Wing, Jackknife, Diamondback, Blazing Phoenix, and Swift Winds.
