The Lone Stranger's Official Site

Greetings and Overview

Welcome to the Lone Stranger's official website!

The new series, THE STRANGER, will begin on September 6th.

The Lone Stranger was created in Realms of Fantasy, a creative writing class focused on Fantasy. We had an in-class writing assignment, but I was very uninspired and, frankly, pretty ticked off at all the cliches in fantasy. So I wrote the first episode of the Lone Stranger, called the War for Honor, Love, and Sheep.
Each episode chronicles a character-stereotype commonly found in fantasy. They are usually engaged in a war, a quest, or whatever, and then eventually they'll meet up with a "tall man dressed in black shrouds and leaning on a huge black sword," and he....well, you'll find out pretty quickly. The first one is basic skin-and-bones narrative (excuse the pun), and then the episodes get successively longer. And actually, by now the plot is getting kinda complicated and less funny. In the author's personal opinion the first five episodes are the best. So, if thou havest a stout heart, proceed! If not, thou hadst best flee to the far corners of the earth, before the Lone Stranger finds thee.
