Pen Name

SHADE ARJUUN

The name I write under, and a running list of the things I care about — fantasy, myth, and a few other worlds I keep wandering back into.

What I’m Into

One Trunk, Many Branches

These all grow off the same root for me: a habit of building worlds, whether the tool is a pen, a controller, or a pencil.

  • Short Stories

    I love how much a short story can hold — one image, a single turn of feeling, finished before the candle burns down.

  • Long-Form Novels

    The long ones are what I keep going back to, where systems, myth and character get hundreds of pages to grow into each other.

  • Fantasy Worlds

    Myth-built settings are my home ground: thrones, calamities, and the quiet rules that hold a world together.

  • God of War

    Norse myth, brutal combat and fatherhood in one story. I keep studying it for pacing and restraint.

  • Hogwarts Legacy

    A castle I happily get lost in. Exploring a world is a different pleasure from reading about one.
