Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated,

Hello all, I’ve been busy with real life stuff and original works. I’ll be listing all my projects in my profile including original works… With a 250,000 word original novel finally revised and ready to send to an agent, I’ve been too busy to do much here. Now that it’s done and I’ve almost got my Masters degree, I’ve decided to upgrade my presence here and at this site's partner in crime... Fanfiction.net

I write a lot of different things, and all the published stories will also be simultaneously updated/released on my tumblr account… (http://pnaughton.tumblr.com/) which will also include original works, commentary, reviews, and maybe even a video blog from time to time… and the information will be released on twitter: where you can follow me @Paul_Naughton. The planned release schedule is at the very bottom of this page. Fanfiction isn’t even close to the majority of what I do, but makes for excellent writing exercises when I get stuck or just have an impulse to write something. I had originally intended to hold off updating these stories until they were complete, but…

Since it’ll likely be years before Break the Cycle is even close to done, I thought better of it. So what’s on my desk at the moment? What’s my plan? Well here’s a look.

Monthly update cycle:

1st Monday of the Month: "Titans Reimagined"
1st Wednesday of the Month: "The Raven"
2nd Monday of the Month: "Sword and Shield"
2nd Wednesday of the Month: "The Greatest Game"
3rd Monday of the Month: "Earth-16 Go!"
3rd Wednesday of the Month: "The Outlaws"
4th Monday of the Month: "Mass Effect: Break the Cycle"
4th Wednesday of the Month: "Star Wars: Infinite Rebellion"

Other works may be updated at irregular intervals, based on when I have chapters complete. Current 'Irregular' projects: "Titans Broken"

John Hawthorne Novel Series - An adult Urban Fantasy series, focusing on John Hawthorne, an FBI agent turned occult investigator and detective. Features a wide range of different stories of the detective sort. In many ways, it's sort of like a CSI series for a magical world living all around us. Plus, the first book asks the question... if a Vampire hunter kills a Vampire, is it murder?

The Dhampir Daughter: A John Hawthorne Novel – *In Planning* - The Omaha Nebraska FBI office was one of the dullest posts that John Hawthorne could imagine, that is until he’s called to a murder scene in a hotel room, where the coroner said the man had been dead for years. Now he finds himself standing between the man’s daughter and his murderer, a vampire hunter. Rated T for violence, language, and sexual themes.

A Fox's Tale - A YA/Fantasy series focusing on the stories of Ember Wülf and her companions Jonathan Smith and Drassus the Kobolt. Designed for the Young Adult and Teen Market, the stories are framed within an older, adult Ember telling a chronicler her history. The setting uses elements of the spiritkin and elemental mythos common to many fantasy stories, but also makes truly magical people like Jonathan and Ember rarities in the world. These magical talents are prized for their abilities and the constant search by powerful beings to find, enslave, or recruit them drives most of the plot.

A Fox’s Tale: The Warden’s Daughter - *COMPLETE* Awaiting Publication – They call her “Fox,” but to her mind she’ll always be Ember Wülf, the daughter of the Warden.

Null-Sec Trading - *In Drafting* - In New Eden, high risk often means high reward, and the highest risks lie outside of empire space. Salma Idama sees an immense opportunity for profit when two major powers in null-sec go to war and organizes an immense convoy to deliver goods to the combatants.

Unity Universe - Stories told from a 'Unified' DC Multiverse which basically acts as a reboot of the New 52 and is designed to incorporate stories from multiple parts of the separate 52 Universes into a single consistent whole. It is safe to assume nearly all storylines are true at some level and that the events of DC's publishing history have been heavily compressed. Essentially one year of comics roughly translates to a month in the character's lives (assumes a reboot in 2020 as the start of the universe). The Raven series will ultimately create this universe with one of it's volumes actually being in the universe...

Titans Broken - *In Progress - Irregular Releases* Batman, faced with a Starfire working alongside Red Hood and Arsenal and a Nightwing who he sees as a shadow of his first Robin, brings both of them in for a psychological evaluation. What they discover brings together the former Titans as a group to support their old friends, and find one of them to be little more than a stranger. Unfortunately for everyone, Batman has a plan. Pairings: Garfield Logan/Rachel Roth, Dick Grayson/Koriand'r, other pairings referenced. Rated M for angst, sexual situations, violence, language, and reference to suicidal thoughts.

The Auror Office - On May 2nd, 1999 Minister of Magic Kinglsey Shacklebolt signed Ministry Decree 7707B, creating the Seventh Section of the Auror Office. Its purpose was exclusively to identify, pursue, and prosecute Dark Wizards to the fullest extent of the law. Hidden within the magical decree was another purpose, to protect the magical world as a whole from any darkness or external threat.

SHATTERED SPACE - You know those epic crossovers that are a dirty pleasure and you can't take seriously? What if one was written as a serious work? Inspired by Arthur C. Clarke's Time's Eye (READ IT!), this story follows the heroes and villains from Star Wars, Star Trek, Harry Potter, and more as they deal with a Galaxy that has been shattered and reassembled with pieces from a dozen different places and a thousand different times.

Pairings: Mara/Luke, Harry/Ginny, Ron/Hermione, Jaina/Jagged, Ben Skywalker/Nomi Starkiller (OC?)

The stories tend toward a more realistic and gritty depiction of the FMP universe by combining elements from novels that the original author felt inspired by such as Tom Clancy's geopolitical thrillers. Multiple volumes are planned, but whether I get to them or not... well, that's up for debate. Mithril collapses after Amalgam's destruction and a new organization is formed from the ashes to protect the Whispered and develop black technology: Sword and Shield.
