Well, here goes. My name's Ricky and my favorite hobby is writing. I've been writing ever since I was seven, (I'm now 19) so I've had quite a bit of practice. I've already written two full-length novels out of a fantasy trilogy that I've created and I hope to one day have them published.

I also enjoy reading, video games, and playing sports and I've been trying to learn to play the guitar. It's going pretty well so far. Since I love writing and video games, the idea came to me a few months ago to combine the two. I posted my first fan-fiction The Trials of Link, which is based off the Legend of Zelda, on IGN in early April. It's still in progress, but I update it fairly regularly. Thanks to a fellow IGN and FFN user, I discovered this site, so I've decided to post this story for anyone who's interested. Let me know what you think! Any criticisms are welcome. I want to be as good of a writer as I can be and that can only come from criticism. After this story is done, I have another one that is currently in its developing stages that I will eventually start. I won't ruin the surprise though.

Thanks for reading!
