In the past I was interested in writing fiction. Mostly Sci-Fi and Fantasy stories. Of all the things I've written only one story has ever even come close to being finished. Actually it's not even a whole story, just the introduction to what I hoped was going to be a grand adventure set in TSR's SpellJammer universe. I have included this story below. I may add additional stories at a later date.
 

If you feel like commenting I am always open to hearing someone else's opinion.

Stories:

Shadow of the Hawk by John Thomas Overath - I am not certain why but the version of this story that has been on my various pages in the past seems to be an older one.  This is the story as I finally left it.  If you have read it before I ask you to read this version.  I feel it is an improvement over the older version.  (The older version can be found here , if you want to compare).

O.K.....I have decided against my better judgment to include "Croissants of Doom" on this page. My father and I started to write this more years ago then I care to remember. I even came up with a fictitious author for this Epic Tale of Adventure---one Auguste Harold Doodé, A. Harry Doodé for short (don't worry if you don't get it this is a pun, an inside joke if you will).
 

Croissants of Doom (An Epic Tale of Adventure) by Auguste Harold Doodé

I haven't been doing much, well any writing, in quite some time, but a friend called me one night bored and at one point during the conversation she asked me to tell her a story. I wasn't able to come up with anything on short notice, but a day or so later an idea sort of popped into my head for a story that I could have told. She had been trying to get to bed so it just seemed natural that the story be a Fairy Tale. Me being me it couldn't be your everyday run of the mill Fairy Tale, and as you read it I think you will see why. I must admit I am pretty sure I got the idea from something I read along time ago, but cant for the life of me remember what it was. Unfortunately I will also admit that the story didn't come out anywhere near as good as it was in my head. Part of the problem is that I wrote the ending quite some time after I wrote the start and thus it wasn't as fresh in my mind as it should have been. Of course the reason I wrote the ending so long after is the story wasn't really coming out as amusing as it had seemed in my head so I stopped writing it. But here it is any way.
