Author has written 12 stories for Legend of Zelda, Batman, Power Rangers, and X-Com.

(Formerly Joran)

This is me. I'm a regular guy who likes to write stories sometimes. Anything I've done or am working on is never a real great shining jewel of artistic wonder. But I will at least say that most of the stuff I've done in the past is no steaming pile of crap, either. As for who I am well, you'd have to meet me in person and become a friend of mine to know that. And believe me, that's a lot harder than it sounds. What I look like well, I refer you to the sentence above. All you will ever know about me is that I like to write stories and I will also tell you that I am a huge hockey fan. And maybe that I'm a huge fan of the Legend of Zelda, Beast Wars and Batman. Want to know more? Well, that's too bad. That's all you'll get from me.

Update: I'm keeping the top part of my profile because I think it's hilarious. I was a little younger then and, for some reason, I made it so unnecessarily stand-off-ish. I don't quite know what I was thinking.

Anyway, hi. I am now a former fan-fiction writer.

Update 2: Guess what? I am now a former former fan-fiction writer as I have returned from the briny depths to haunt you from beyond the grave! Wait. I think I'm confused. Oh, that's right. I think I've got it. I've returned from the briny depths to do some fan-fiction writing again!

Ahem* Please excuse the silliness that probably wasn't funny at all.

So, yeah. My focus is still on original work but I have returned. Oh. That's right. No one cares. But I've still returned so take that, no one! All right. Back to your regularly scheduled profile shenanigans from a few years ago. UPDATE END.

Update 3: Grab your guns. Speak some puns. Oh great, another one? You bet your ass(onance). I changed my username. I was once called Joran but I grew to hate that name over the years ever since I heard it was an uncommon, real life first name that is held by a terrible and notorious person. This place was the final holdout of the old days of my awful username but now those days are officially gone. Now my name is just my initials and a title I'd like to adopt. If you'd like to join me I'll be the bard to guide you through many a strange tale and, like my new name suggests, spin some yarns. Writing is what I do. It may not be my first love but it is my truest. What's that? Yes, my new username is an idiom for long, fanciful stories. That's sort of the point, is it not? It is what I do, after all. So stop by for a while and allow me to spin some yarns for you. (FYI, I think they're all terrible but I'll let you be the judge). UPDATE END

I'm not going to just pour out my life story but I'll give you a bit more info than my previous hilariously angry profile.

I am a Legend of Zelda fan, through and through. That should be quite obvious, I think. My favourite in the series is A Link Between Worlds (*gasp* a new Zelda? And it isn't Ocarina of Time? Blasphemy, I hear you say!)

It became my favourite last year, finally managing to dethrone Wind Waker and Twilight Princess (but those ones are crap, especially when compared to OoT, I hear you say. What is wrong with you? I hear you ask).

I still love Ocarina of Time, don't worry. I just love some of the others more (I also like Majora's Mask and Skyward Sword more than OoT (more blasphemy!)

The only Zelda games I don't like are Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks (and you wrote a story about it? you ask) and Four Swords Adventures. The last one is really not entirely the game's fault. FSA is REALLY not fun by yourself. Play it with friends, if you haven't.

I love many other video games as well, Including wonders like Batman: Arkham City, Bastion, Shadow of the Colossus, and Red Dead Redemption. And Phoenix Wright. And Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem ( I actually wrote a Zelda crossover with that one, but it sucked so I scrapped it). And Civilization 5, Dragon Age, Mirror's Edge, Awesomnauts, Castlevania, Rogue Legacy, Star Fox, Skyrim, NHL 94 (wait, what?), maybe Half-Life 2. All right, that's enough. You get the point. I play a lot of video games.

This bloody thing is long enough that I'll keep it short for the rest of it. I like music, I can kind of play guitar( I suck, though) my favourite band is Rush and I love hockey and even used to play it for awhile.

Is that enough? Yeah, that's enough. Not much else to say, really. I'm pretty boring but I guess I'll leave you with the fact that I'm an uncle and I have the best nephew that ever was.

I also love trains. Okay, seriously, I'm done now.

Note: All of my Zelda stories that I post here will in fact be exact copies of stories on another site called North Castle. Why this happened is because those are my stories too. I am listed under the same username on that site so no, I am not blatantly plagiarizing anyone. My stories there are identical to the ones here because I am trying to broaden my number of readers. I will make a note of this every time I upload a new story that is also on North Castle. I just had to state it here to make it clear. Look up North Castle and under Fan Fiction look at Sagas as well as General and Crossovers. My stories should be there so take a look if you'd like to verify my claim.

Prequel to my series The Shadow of Honor (formerly Link Meets His Darkness). This is the story of Hyrule's proud warriors.
