UPDATE NOVEMBER 15, 2017: First login in 1 year...

As I said, no regular updates. I AM however, working on converting my Vasconya universe to a D20 tabletop gaming system. STILL don't expect regular updates from me.

UPDATE OCTOBER 16 2016: First login in 2 years...

Once again, life hit me pretty hard. I have a new job though, more time, and my health is marginally better. I'm also no longer in school, so like I said, a bit more time. Still no promises of regular updates.

UPDATE AUGUST 2014: First login in 5 years...

The world has come at me quite a bit faster'n I'd have liked. I have not picked up a pen (outside of school projects) in at least that long, up until last Monday, when I actually began working with Vasconya again.

I make no promises of regular updates.

I make no promises that I'll even be regularly writing anything at all.

I'm just not ABLE, ya know?

Thanks for sticking with me this long...

Well, thanks to my beautiful wife and some good friends
(Fluffy and Dragons Willow), my writing will continue...

Please, let me know what you think! Thanks kindly!

The Wheel of Time has Stopped.

"Let the Dragon Ride on the Winds of Time!"

James Rigney, October 16 1948-September 16th 2007

Hello everybody!

My name is Alexander J. Smith. Most call me Alex, A.J., Mr. A, Age, or things of that nature. I am married to the most beautiful woman in the world, and we have a lovely daughter, with whom I plan to share my love of fantasy! My Authors list includes, but is not limited to:

Robert Jordan (Let the Dragon Ride on the Winds of Time!)

J.R.R. Tolkien (A god among men)

C.S. Lewis (A demi-god)

T.H. White (Wonderful read)

Steven Erikson (An Ascended god among men)

Tim LeHay/Jerry Jenkins

Glen Cook

ALL of my works are copyrighted, just to let ya know. I STRONGLY suggest to EVERYBODY here getting their works copyrighted. It's a heartbreaking thing when it's stolen, believe me. A quick way of doing it is sending the work to yourself registered mail, and NOT opening it when it gets to ya. NOW GO OUT THERE AND COPYRIGHT YOUR WORKS!!

-This has been a messege from the Up-And-Coming Author's Association- (There isn't one, really, but if there was, I'd be a member!)

Also check out my fanfiction.net profile and stories I may or may not post there! http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1117308/, and my deviantart page at http:///. Eventually, there will be pictures (photos and other) that I have done, and I HOPE to have some of my favorite characters up on there as well!

Dont forget to check out the stuff in my favorite author's section! That's where my wife's works (that she may or may not post) will be, and my brothers Fluffamyster and Walter Kromley. Fluff has a goodly number of chapters up on here (or did, last I checked). Read them and review! He's got quite a story going there, and I cannot WAIT to see where it goes (only problem is, I dont have time to keep up with the updates, so my reading is done in bursts!). Walt is taking a bit of a break right now, which REALLY sucks, because he has a killer story going. Read it, review it, and DEMAND he continue!

As far as my wife's (Leemeyo) works are concerned, she probably wont post much to start with, she's alot like me, and wants to get the history EXACT. Rest assured, though, when she DOES post, it will be WELL worth your time! For all you romance lovers out there, go to her page, I'm pretty sure she has a link to her fanfic on it, and check out all her works there!

And remember, read, review, be happy, be free!

PROJECT LIST (Subject to change without notice!)

The Vasconya Universe
The Vasconya Universe is the working title for all of my works that take place in Vasconya. It is not a book, it's many books, including Legend of the Fallen Prince trilogy, The Guild, Curse of the Gray Wolf, and there will be more, as ideas come to me (or if I feel the need to PUBLISH the history that I am working on NOW). These are my life works, this world that I want to show you. It is beautiful. So, come and enter the world of Vasconya, let it's forests dazzle you, let it's oceans take you in, let the mountains carry you away. Get lost in it with me, and see this wonderful but DANGEROUS place of my dreams! (Was that cheezy or WHAT? heheheh)

Legend of the Fallen Prince: The Knight
Currently being totally reworked, hopefully I have more time in my life for writing, and we go from there. I've got the first 400 words up, and that'll be my springboard. Similar concepts, not much on the plot is going to change, I'm just re-writing it so it don't have teenage angst and trying too hard and using a thesaurus every other word. Basically, I realize my writing sucked, and I want to present it much better than I did. Because I love this world.

Locked and Loaded
Removed until further notice, I'm not happy with the way it ended, and I cant really see myself continuing it any time soon. WWIII can wait for another time! I WILL have it back up, reviesed, and edited and extended EVENTUALLY!

Khristophoros
Working on revising what's already there, and getting another chapter up. Stumped as hell on this one, folks. Seemed like a good idea at the time!

The Overworld
Currently on hold. Working out the details of what it would be like to have lived underground for over 1000 years, what adaptations and such would have taken place. Read what I've got up on it, it's only 245 words long!

2077
Yup, you guessed it, ALSO on hold. Talking with my dad about the direction it should go (after all, it WAS him that came up with the idea!), and working out the details of the science. Again, I WILL be working on it eventually!

Shadows of Avalon
INTRODUCTION COMING SOON! Everyone knows the Legend of the Great King, but is Avalon REALLY the paradise we have been lead to believe? If so, then why has Arthur not returned?

The Guild (working title)
Currently on hold, as I have a MASSIVE case of teh blocks on this one... Part of the Vasconya Universe. The main character (unnamed as of right now) is an assassin for The Guild, a man bred to kill. He falls in love with a mark, and abandons the Guild, promising his woman he will NEVER lead that life again. Fifteen years later, The Guild takes his woman. How can he keep his promise now?

The Apocalypse Diaries
Something I started recently... Basically, I'm going to try and write a story following ONE GROUP of people (the same characters) through a handfull of different post-apocalyptic situations. For instance, the one I'm working on now is a polar-shift type scenario. The next'n'll probably be Zombies or something... then maybe a nuke... I dunno...

Poems
I have various poems posted up on here, but do not feel the need to explain them, just read them, and enjoy!

Soooooo... Read, review, be happy, be free! Peace Out

-Personal Quote- "Setting Low Standards and Constantly Failing to Achieve Them!"

Dumbledore was gay? WTF?! I could'ov swore it was Harry and Ron... I guess that makes Ginny a "lady of the evening?" What next, Hagrid was really a tranny?! I have lost so much respect for that series... Not that I had much to begin with... Even less after Sirius got 86ed... Oh well.
