msyendorhide bio
Author has written 2 stories for Elder Scroll series. Not much to say. Love reading, cut my teeth reading my older brother's Conan series, graduated to The Ship that Sings series, Heralds of Valdimar series, The Pride of Chanur series. Also love Father Brown, Mrs. Pollifax, Midnight Louie ... Anyway, love books. Not so much into heavy drama and angst (I depress easy enough as it is) or heavy action (but I do love well-written action simply because I can't do those). In D&D games I'm usually Neutral Good or Lawful Evil. Figured for a midlife challenge (can't afford a motorcycle but I did buy a bicycle) I'll try writing something other than insurance crash reports. If I'm gonna post my opinions, I'd better be willing to post some of my own stuff. So here I am. Short stuff because I have a very short attention span and fade off suddenly into other universes. Skyrim's my latest obsessive game. Before that, the Dungeon Seige series. And long before that, see my handle, Nethack. The little @ had so many backstories playing in my over-caffeinated brain as I chased after that blasted amulet. Shopkeeper's Wife is meant to be a meandering, slice-of-type type story, and my first attempt at fan fiction writing. The spin-off, 2nd Life, is meant to be more structured, but I still tend to meander. These two stories crossover often. I also write a third story, Lion of Yokuda, based off a character profile and general story premise by keller.blair1. See his profile for the general idea. 05.09.2021 -- updating ealier chapters of both Shopkeeper and 2nd Life, most of them are just basic punctuation, word choices/style changes, proofreading stuff. And, yeah, some patchwork so that earlier stuff doesn't contradict too badly later chapters. My bad. I don't do much hard plotting beyond each chapter. So far, the only chapter with major additions is #13, and that was to add back dialogue that had originally been omitted 06.05.2021 -- updated chapters 15 to 22 of Shopkeeper's Wife 07.03.2021 -- updated chapters 23 to 30 of Shopkeeper's Wife 09.04.2021 -- updated chapters 31 to 39 Shopkeeper's Wife |

And this is why dragons left Morrowind alone by Sir Punchalot reviews

Legerdemain by CrashingPetals reviews
Quintus likes his books. He does not like the idle gossip that his customers eagerly exchange. He likes his potions. He does not like bumbling warriors with no taste for subtleties. Yet somehow, he likes the wilderness in her eyes, the storm in her heart, the infuriating way she makes him stumble around his own confidence. It is a mystery, but then so is love.
