There was a man, who called himself Freedomguard.

He wrote stories, he wrote them big, and he wrote them well.

It has brought tears to my eyes at the knowledge that the man who wrote millions of words on some 46 or so stories, who has devoted such time and effort on such a multitude of fictions... He who was an idol to many, and for me i held him in high regard. He has died, but he will live on not only in my heart and in my writing, but in the hearts and writing styles of many fanfiction authors throughout this site, a many people of many races, of many cultures, we shall remember his memory, and we shall treasure his stories.

I never knew Freedomguard in life, and i only ever received one reply from him in a private message... yet he will forever remain influential to me. It is safe to say that his stories and writing style was 40 percent of the inspiration which caused me to pick up fanficition writing as an author, a novice one.

In life, he has influenced me, and in death he has influenced me. I feel that since it was mostly his work that inspired me, thus i thought it would be fitting if i wrote an Epitaph for Freedomguard.

From words step in deep entwined.
In sorrow learn of your demise.
I swear to learn in your memory.
I fight with pen, if not with sword.
This is my first epitaph i have ever wrote, and though you will not see it.
This Epitaph is for Freedomguard.

In future honour of Freedomguard, i will try to make reference to one or more of his original characters in my fanfictions, to remain as a ghost of the man who in a way, made me the writer that i am today.

Rest in peace.
