FAN FICTION FOR BOOK #6 ANNOUNCMENT!

The Deadline for Submissions is April 1st, 2026! I hope to be publishing A Soldier's Life Book 6 near the end of May (current preorders on Amazon say July 2026 but that is to be safe).

This fan fiction has a prize of hardcover copies of books 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and book 6 (when printed). All signed by me with whatever message you want! And one month of Seraphim Tier Access. Submissions will be made on Discord for the fan fiction contest chat room. You can submit them at any time before the deadline; you don't need to wait until the last minute!

• Submissions should be between 3,000 and 8,000 words (hard limit on the 8,000 words this time). 8,000 words is about 3 chapters length and should be more than enough

• Submissions need to be submitted as a Word doc to discord. DISCORD LINK 

• The topic should come from one of the options below, but you can ask me to approve additonal subjects

• Use of AI should be minimal (editing). It is expected that your submission is an original work from your imagination

• If you are resubmitting a story from a prior contest (you didnt win), it is expected you do a rewrite to improve on it
  
  Submissions will be voted on Patreon for the winner by subscribers only. I would have liked to keep it open to the public, but the last voting had people creating bogus Patreon accounts to vote for their own story. There may be multiple rounds of voting—or not. The winner will be posted with credits. If the author wants, I will include the fanfiction in the back of a future published book (book 6) with the author's permission. It will be posted to RR and Scribble with the author's permission as well.

The winner gets their version to become canon for the world! (if it matches my suggested content edits. the last winner was upset I wouldnt alter the fantasy world to suite his story)

Choices for Fanfiction (Spoilers below for those not up to date on Patreon), Will Update the List as I think of things:

• Maveith's journey after he fled Stone Mountain Island, seeing his sister brained by orc slavers. How hard was his journey? He befriended a goblin on a ship. And was near a dessert at one point...that is all the info from the book so far. A map of the other continent will be created for book 6 (i have the map)

• The Rise of Flavius as a wight and him wandering the Elven city of Caelora....foreshadowing much. Specters, wights, wraiths, and banshees do not like him but are not attacking. The city's curse anchored him and forced him to defend the city. What could he find in his travels? He cannot leave the walls of the city, anchored to his decaying corpse. But he remembers Konstantin killed him.

• The demons progress in building a World Gate after he returns to the Brotherhood of Mitzra. It would be deep in Brotherhood lands....

• Lexi's life learning Elvish from Elarin and magic from a strict Castile

• Make up a mage company and a threat they need to overcome

• Konstantin's acquisition of his blade. he killed an elf woman for it - one who seduced him. The elf woman was a Death Hunter he met while serving in the Hounds. Who betrayed who? Was Konstantin in elven lands, or was the Ranger in Telhian lands? Details on the elven blade - Deathstrike. Forged to kill undead by an ancient elven smith of Caelora....yes, that wight in book 2 was the deceased master swordsmith who was pulled from the city when the blade got close. His tie to the blade was stronger than his tie to Caelora

• Mynasha's attempted assassination by Elder Kytasha and Warlord Drutha....orc politics. Note the Elder and Warlord are being supported by the Nashasari from the shadows

• A Dungeon POV - choose a dungeon in any of the books and detail what it thinks of Eryk's actions

• Konstantin running Adrian's Rest and how good/bad he is at it, a humorous portrayal is what I am thinking

• If you have another idea, post it in the comments, and I might add it, but there are no guarantees.
