The Adventures of Alan
What happens when a university professor somehow ends up in another world, where magic bends the laws of nature? Alan is, albeit unwillingly, about to find out. As a professor of physics, he has a decent understanding of how the world works, or so he likes to think. Armed only with his knowledge, Alan is thrown into a world very different from his own. In his new reality, he will meet both friends and foe, he will seek knowledge, he will build power, and perhaps he will even find love again? Follow Alan through his adventures, and find out for yourselves how he deals with the challenges thrown at him by a new world, while struggling with the issues brought with him from his old one. * Author’s note: A fair warning. This is the first time I’ve published anything, and basically the first time I’ve written anything more than mandatory school-stuff. The story will probably have inconsistencies, grammatical errors (not my native tongue, though that excuse is getting old), and potentially confusing (missing?) plot. I will naturally do my best to write something worth reading, but my main goal in writing this story is to have fun and explore the limits of my own creativity. My hope in publishing it here, is that I’ll reach someone who enjoy the story, and can push me forward towards writing more, as it is difficult at times to find the motivation to write just for myself. Additionally, I can’t really promise to have regular updates, as I have a full-time job that often likes to take the ‘full-time’ part literally, and a sporadic social life that occasionally surprises me (happy surprises mostly, so I shouldn’t complain). I’ll aim for once a week to start with, and take it from there. Happy reading! Cover photo by Jeff Hire (/photographer/gun4hire-58415), from https://freeimages.com/.

The Unclaimed Ambassador
Rewrite Progress (2022-08-02): 12 out of 14 chapters. The latest version of each chapter is always available here. A man suffering from a magically induced amnesia attempts to understand the workings of a foreign yet not so different world. His alien nature proves to be a barrier in more than the figurative sense, however, as he finds himself unable to partake or even perceive the most crucial aspects of the natives' interactions. This imperviousness makes him a useful tool in the eyes of many, securing him a chance at survival for the meager cost of his self-determination. These are his struggles as he slowly grows out of his meekness and tries to take back control of his life. Release Schedule: Nonexistent. Publication is inconsistent.
