Author has written 101 stories for Fantasy, Action, Sci-Fi, Love, Friendship, Religion, Humor, Humor, Spiritual, Life, Fable, Nature, Fantasy, Romance, Play, Young Adult, and General. Greetings, friends! If you're actually reading this it means you probably want to hear from/about me, so I'll tell you a little about myself: General Me: I'm nineteen years old and I'm an English major at Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA. I really enjoy writing, but sometimes the responsibilities of college inhibit me from doing so nearly as much as I'd like to. I have several stories and story ideas that have, unfortunately, been put on hold indefinitely. But still, if you see any story or poem below that seems to catch your fancy, please read and review--I always like hearing from fellow writers. My stories range from random silliness to action-packed sci-fi and fantasy, but most of my poems are more serious and pertain to matters of my Christian faith or something else close to my heart. The main project I'm working on currently is my story The Watchman, which is about a Christian crimefighter. For those of you who have read and enjoyed The Watchman, I now have a fanpage for it on Facebook, so check out http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/pages/The-Watchman/116211503255?ref=ts. I also have a Fanfiction.net account (www.fanfiction.net/~erulasto) where I'm currently working on a Spider-Man fanfic. My Beliefs: I am a nondenominational Christian, and I try to devote every aspect of my life to Jesus. I believe that salvation can come only through faith in Jesus, as man is too imperfect to ever be able to earn salvation. I live by the Bible and am not afraid to openly talk about or share my faith with others. God has blessed me greatly, so many of my poems are about God and all the wonders He has done in my life. Any skill or talent I have in writing is a gift from Jesus. Many of the writings I've posted below have been strongly influenced by my faith. Objects that have earned my fandom: I am a big fan of science fiction and fantasy in many of their various forms. I like The Lord of the Rings (books and movies) and other works by J.R.R. Tolkien, The Chronicles of Narnia, (C.S. Lewis), and the Inheritance cycle (Christopher Paolini) to name a few fantasy series. In the sci-fi department, I mainly like Star Wars, and almost any superhero I know much about. My favorite superhero has always been Spider-Man, but I also really like Batman, Superman, Iron Man, the Fantastic Four, the Justice League, the Avengers, and the epic crossover events that Marvel has been doing lately (starting with Civil War). I listen to modern Christian music, largely in the rock genre, but I like just about any type of music if it has Christian lyrics. Favorite bands/artists are dc Talk (and that includes TobyMac, Tait, and Kevin Max), Relient K, Skillet, Demon Hunter, Sanctus Real, RED, Kutless, Thousand Foot Krutch, Casting Crowns, FFH, and many more...those are just a few of my favorites. I hope you like what you see here. Muchas gracias to everyone who has and still does review and to those who have taken the time to message me email me outside of Fictionpress (especially one of you with whom I've become very close--you know who you are). Your contributions and friendship are greatly appreciated. For more good readings, I recommend my favorite authors and favorite stories lists, seen below. Also, if you want a good read, try the Bible, it's a very awesome NONFICTION book written by the creator of the universe.
