When I was in high school, one of my goals in life was to become a science fiction writer. I had good scenes in my head, and I could write them descriptively and well .... but I had not cohesive story, so I would abandon the effort.
Well, about a year or so ago, I began playing a video game called The Witcher III:The Wild Hunt. Amazing game with beautiful graphics and intense game play! But it was the story that captured my interest and I started reading the books the game was based off of. Andrzej Sapkowski created a rich and diverse fictional world for Geralt of Rivia, Triss Merigold, Yennifer of Vengeborg, Dandilion and many other characters to live in. Their stories are wound around a world in which magic, politics and otherworldly creatures vye for prominence against the backdrop of war. Through it all, Geralt of Rivia walks, a Witcher, a professional monster slayer for hire, holding to his own code of chivalry and honor.
So, I had this story set in this world bouncing around in my head for the last year and I finally started putting it down in words. Fan Fiction is a great outlet for creativity. I don't intend to ever publish it for money, there are a lot of legalities that surround that. But I did find a place I can put it up for other writers to critique.
If you want to read it, The Last Manticore is up on FanFiction.net. I hope you enjoy it :)
