I am ShadowBladeFX. Author of "Feathers of the Skies" and "Lights in the Darkness".

ON HIATUS: Sorry for the inconvenience, but I will be taking a long break from writing anything on this site. The end date of this notice is uncertain at this time. All I can say is that it will be at least a few years before anything is posted. I am really sorry for this, and I do apologize for the effects thereafter. (05-26-16)

My real name is Alexander, though that information won't do that much good to you. I'm a guy. Just thought I'd clear that up... "I'm a man." Straight from Libra's mouth into my profile page. I'm in my upper teens... I'm young compared to a grown adult, I'll say that much. And I also love California. It's just so cool to be living in this amazing place. And In-N-Out Burger too. What more could a guy want?

You are probably here after reading one of my stories. If that's the case, I sure hope that whatever I wrote made you smile, and that it was able to be enjoyed by you for at least a few seconds. In the exact words spoken by my good friend, Gokart48: "It doesn't matter if 1 person or 500 people read my stories. What matters is that I have the opportunity to improve someone's day. Because if I could make someone smile for just a second, or make someone laugh, then my job is complete."

I've never owned a gaming console not affiliated with Nintendo in some way. I've owned every console from the GameBoy Advace on up. (Virtual console helped me play games from NES and N64 days as well) I've been gaming since I was young... And believe it or not, I grew up playing Mario Kart DS. Good game, and have yet to find its equal in racing games. ... EDIT: Mario Kart 8 may have passed it with Neo Bowser City as DLC...

Of course, I was first introduced to Fire Emblem, F-Zero, etc. through the Super Smash Bros. series.

On a more personal note: I am a Christian, and am not afraid to admit it. No matter what other people say, I will not change just for the opinion of others. I love the Lord my God with all my heart, mind, soul, and strength, and try to read the Bible everyday. If you have any questions or comments, don't be afraid to talk to me. I won't back down from a serious talk, but if it gets out of hand, just keep in mind that I will hang you out to dry.

I also have an undying love for my crimson heroine on wings: Cordelia. My one true love... Well. Unless I ever get married in real life, that is... As you may have noted from reading my focal story "Feathers of the Skies", and seeing my custom-made avatar photo (yes, I made that). I mean, when it gets down to it, who really cares about size or body? If the girl's got an amazing personality, what's not to love? Sure, those other things can be a bonus, but I won't walk down that path right now... What matters is the hearts, the morals, and the beliefs. If those don't line up, then everything else becomes obsolete.

EDIT: Sumia may have finally passed her up as my favorite character... So I don't know, ladies and gentlemen... You might be seeing some Sumia x Robin stuff coming up here...

I am strongly against homosexuality. Don't believe in that. It ruins the people around you, it ruins the society, and it ruins the hearts, faith, beliefs and the minds of many others. I love the people, because they are also humans and deserve the same respect as each and every one of us do, but I hate the concept. No offense, any who might want to get after me for saying this. I'm not being mean, or judgmental, I'm just stating my opinion. Hate me or like me for saying so... I don't care.

That's a bit about me. Here's a few more things:

I said it once, but it's worth saying again. "It doesn't matter if 1 person or 500 people read my stories. What matters is that I have the opportunity to improve someone's day. Because if I could make someone smile for just a second, or make someone laugh, then my job is complete." - gokart48
