A Fiction Author Seeking to Pull a Pen From the Stone

Once Upon a Time...

There was a pair of twenty-somethings writing fanfiction. They went by the screen names Bruce Pendragon and Stoker Bramwell. Their signature work was a massive video game crossover epic that made an admirable attempt to do what few other crossovers in history had ever done: not suck. Unfortunately, they grew up before it was finished. And growing up has a funny way of meaning "leave your fanfiction days behind." Still, writing a 180,000 word novel on fanfiction.net and getting halfway through its sequel gives you some useful experience in writing, no matter how childish the subject matter may be.
For copyright reasons, obviously, I could not return to fanfiction here on Steemit even if I wanted to (the cryptocurrency we're paid with may not be worth beans but it is still technically money... of a sort). However, that does not prevent me from writing some of the original stories I had in those days. My work will mostly be of a fantasy genre, with perhaps the occasional sci-fi element. It should also be noted that there will be occasional use of the NSFW tag. I'll begin with a story entitled The Prince's Pet, a re-incarnation of the story I once intended to put on Fictionpress.net as "The Slave Princess." Needless to say the work has changed a great deal since then.

And who knows? I may throw in the occasional journal entry about the life that inspires these twisted works I intend to write. But mainly, my steemit account will be my return to publishing my stories online, after more than 10 years of silence. Bruce Pendragon lives again, a little older and hopefully a little better at writing.
