A List of Nexus Writers and Their Stories of Adventure
This post is meant as a reference to current authors on Nexus in the Skyrim image share section. My goal is to keep this post up to date with current authors with a link to their user page and a brief description of what they write about. See the sticky comment for more details.
If you are a current writer on Nexus and don't see your name then please send me a PM and I will add you!

Blackmaid - Random Stories (SEMI-ACTIVE)
This author enjoys writing a variety of stories. Some revolve around her main character and others are loosely tied to Skyrim and characters she makes.
Liadys - Numerous tales of adventure (ACTIVE)
Liadys tells stories of the Greater Daedra from Oblivion as well as an intricate story-line involving a troubled family trying to find their way again.
Nataly - Romance and Intrigue with Dannee and Sam (ACTIVE)
In the classic theme of fantasy romance novels read about the prideful and beautiful Dannee and her turbulent romance with a Daedric Prince, Sanguine ... otherwise known as Sam.
Simboker - Tales of 5 Fabulous Heorines (ACTIVE)
A story about the Heroines of Tamriel, 5 brave Nord Shieldmaidens fighting against all kinds of evil and diabolic forces which have been unleashed upon Skyrim.
serkethetyt - A Skyrim's Tale - 1 - Who are you Prisoner (ACTIVE)
Here in Nexus I post "A Skyrim's Tale", the adventures of a nord shieldmaiden named Aslög, born somewhere in Skyrim. For undscovered reasons, her true parents where murdered by Empire Legionaires and she was raised by a merchant couple all along Cyrodiil.
Aslög is a clever woman, with a sarcastic and dark personality, a steel strenght and a fierce combat skill, but is also someone with a sense of justice and humanity. She's protector of her loved ones, a loyal and a fair friend, creative, independent and intuitive. In her dark side, she tends to be a lone wolf, with depressive moments and anxiety outbreaks about always being the bearer of bad luck for anyone who's next to her.
With no information of the past of her family she became prisoner in her own country when she is orphaned once again, between a civil war, political plots and the return of a legendary dragon, that was said to bring end of the world as we know.
thesarantis - The Shield Saga (ACTIVE)
Shield is an organization destined to fight injustice, to secure the safety of Tamrielic inhabitants and to eliminate evil wherever it is lurking! It was founded in 4E 202 by Perek, Serana, Teldryn Sero and Adelaisa Vendicci which are the 4 Cornerstone agents of the organization. There are also 6 Grandmaster agents and several other Hypaspist agents. Shield's base of operations is the Citadel south of Falkreath situated in a valley surrounded by mountains. In my page you will find agents' backstories as well as faction's missions everywhere in Tamriel and beyond."
Wadelycan - The Last Dragonborn (ACTIVE)
Meet Thane Ellandra and learn about her adventures as the Last Dragonborn in Skyrim. This tale has some unusual twists and turns that set it apart from the vanilla story.
INACTIVE AUTHORS
================
Anataron - Adventures of Kynthia, Adventures of Synnassa (INACTIVE)
Join Kynthia as she struggles to control her dark instincts in her adventures across Skyrim.
Synnassa is a snarky and narcisstic mer whose style is exceeded only by her amusing wit.
Aok - Evil Company with Ripp, Silke, and Death Dealer. A celebration of the anti-hero's. (INACTIVE)
A series of stories in the Heavy Metal genre of a graphic comic book.
austinlyle0 - The Adventures of Grayson (INACTIVE)
A collection of short stories around Austin's character Grayson
Darksaber87 - Richter and Maria (INACTIVE)
This story is about Richter and Maria's epic struggle for vengeance. Journey
along with this amazing pair and learn about their back stories and why
they are out seeking vengeance. Richter is an ancient Vampire who has
vowed to hunt his own kind for vengeance. Maria is a vampire hunter,
trained by the Vigil, and currently with the Dawnguard.
Excellentium - Random Stories (INACTIVE)
This author enjoys writing a variety of stories that often involve vanilla
quests but from the view point of one of their many characters. Other
stories follow the life and times of different characters they play.
Kamikazekossori - Adventures of the Rogue Edrelle and her Friends (INACTIVE)
Meet Edrelle and her band of loyal friends as she travels across Skyrim relieving the Nobles of their gold and helping the poor.
Kayol - Philosophy, musings, and random adventures of Saga (INACTIVE)
It is hard to describe Kayol's work. It is true word-smithing. She isn't
just a fan-fiction writer. Her stories are on the same level of quality
of well published authors. Yet they are not really stories like most
think of them. They are often just views on life, explorations of ideas,
all loosely tied to the adventures of her character Saga.

EDIT: I want to make the body of my post shorter and to the point so I have edited it now that most people have seen it. For the sake of reference I am pasting the original text I had in this sticky comment. Below is the text I used for the original introduction.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
This is just a little project I am working on. The goal is simple - just keep a list of currently active writers on Nexus who tell stories in Skyrim. I thought if I kept a list of it then I could keep a link in my own stories at the bottom for people to reference. This way folks who might be interested in finding more authors would have a little tool for it. Of course I can only keep the list current based on the authors I like and follow - so I am hoping the community will consider sending me a PM if they write or know an author that is currently writing and posting on Nexus.
Lastly I have limited time so my initial list has very short summaries that may not best reflect the people's work. I would ask if you see your name below to feel free to send me a PM (or comment) on what you would like your heading and description to be. Also if you have an image you think best represents your story give me the link so I can add it (as time permits of course) to your section.
I really have no idea if this will be of any use or interest to anyone. I have no expectations at all. I plan on keeping this post updated and will link to it. I am also keeping a list on my website for reference. How much work I put into it (adding images, expanding text, making it a MOD page, etc.) will depend if there is any interest in it. If there is interest I will improve more, otherwise I will just keep it as my own personal reference.
So what the heck - here it is. Just another one of my odd little projects lol. Hope someone might enjoy it.
Helpful little list and appreciate the effort, Wolfgrimdark :)
PS. are you still managing it? I got a little story running up myself :D i could send you a link
Aye I still manage this - at least if someone provides me with an update :) If you want to be added send me a PM with the information (or can reply here, either works).
Thanks!
Also I really need to update my story page...
I also have a misc. mod I keep the link (which is hard to find) and an image pose guide by Alex. Working on a guide for story writing and doing poses as well ... at some point :p
Second question is, you mentioned in one of the comments here you were working on a guide or advice on creating stories here on the Nexus, is this something you're still planning to do? I would really love to read something like this.
Thanks very much
As far as I know I am the only one keeping a list on a website (on a side note I started this weekend to convert all of my stories on Nexus to PDF format and will be hosting those as well ... slow project though as I have so many stories!)
Jessb81, Wadelycan, and Anataron I believe made a post with a list of all their stories in the body of the post and links ... and said they would keep them updated. Not sure if they are or not though. You would have to look through their posts to find it though.
I am still working on the other project and if an author gives me a list I will include it. My idea was they could post an article or comment themselves they could then edit whenever they updated something. Not sure how it would work out as people come and go a lot.
Anyhow I hope to have the guide book and mod done this summer as well as converting all my stories to PDF.
There are some decent story blogs on the site and a lot of other stuff too. It's a bit awkward to navigate the site at first, it could use some streamlining. Perhaps the author's stories here could somehow be linked in to this site to reach a wider audience? Just a thought.
I look forward to the guide book. I'm still building my modded skyrim world for my first non-console playthrough, and i'm definitely interested in using the RP as a base for creative writing explorations. I feel it would enhance the overall experience of my game as well as provide me with another creative outlet to add to my life.
Thanks again, really enjoying the storytelling.
Thank you for the blog post. I am pretty happy with Nexus right now but I will check it out and mention it to some of the other writers who are looking for some more exposure. Appreciate you sharing it.
I find writing adds a ton more depth to my character. Grim and Erik (and Wolfgar) are so much more than just simple pixels in a game now - they have an entire life behind them thanks to the writing.
Ummmm.... Shouldn't "Wolfgrimdark" be on that list!
I am debating a mod page for this - as I told Steven maybe with main game menu wallpapers as the download and front page where I list all the authors.
Need to think about it
Going to start some basic work on it now but won't really get into it until I finish Grim's current story line ... As I am in as much suspense as every one else to reach the conclusion!
BTW Nefsen had a nice list of screenarchery tricks HERE that you could use for the list (If you don't have one already)
As for my profile I like what you have just please add the line:
"A celebration of the anti-hero's"
Thank you my friend!
It is all these little things I learned the hard way - by accident - that I want to write out in detail. Plus I want to write out some various approaches to writing a story for Nexus - how to set up your approach, planning plot and shots, how to create the document (always do it outside of the Nexus editor and always press the BBCODE button when formatting so you do the actual commands). How to embed youtube and images, pitfalls of certain BBCODE tags on the ImageShare, and more.
In addition I will provide some links to other screenarchery guides. However this is a story guide -with a focus on doing stories - so while useful for screenarchery as well it won't be the focus. Ultra Quality screenshots is for archery - for story telling it is more about setting up the scene.
Then provide it in a simple PDF so people can save it, print it, or do what they like.
