Darkside is, as some might know, the author of The Cursed and the Fury Saga. In a foreword to The Cursed, Darkside stated that this would be the last TG story written by him. That was in 2002. Since then, Darkside finished re-writes to chapters one and two of the Fury Saga in 2004 and since then... nothing.

The stories are so well done and complicated beyond belief that nothing _I_ have ever written even holds as much as a candle to the mind that conceived and wrote them. How did we ever lose track of such an inventive mind such as Darkside?

I hope that Darkside is still out there somewhere, living a wonderful, fulfilling life, but I keep hoping that his muse will come back and help him bring new stories to us all. Both the stories are available on Fictionmania if this blog entry inspires anyone to go and read them. You won't be wasting any time if you do read them, that's for sure!
