Brad Writes Worlds

“Myth, memory, and the collapse of certainty.”


Brad Slade – Author Biography

Brad Slade writes worlds. Some burned. Some survived. All remembered.

A Gen X survivor of silence, grief, and VHS static, Brad crafts stories that dig into the marrow, fiction that bleeds, essays that punch, fanfics that dare to finish what others abandoned. His works span mythic fantasy, science fiction, post-collapse memoir, and reimagined continuations of epic sagas like A Song of Ice and Fire and Stargate.

His nonfiction book, Help Yourself… Or Don’t, is a raw, poetic field manual for anyone raised on sitcoms and sarcasm, searching for truth in the wreckage of burnout and broken promises. It’s not a self-help book… it’s a last-chance mixtape for those still standing.

Whether he’s reconstructing Westeros, reviving the Stargate program, or building entirely new realities from the ruins of this one, Brad writes with purpose: not to escape, but to confront.

📍 Based in Texas. Fueled by coffee, mixtapes, and righteous frustration.

Nominated for the 2025 r/ASOIAFFanFiction Awards

I am honored to share that A Dream of Spring has been nominated for the 2025 r/ASOIAFFanFiction Awards, in Category #23: Best Book Based Fanfiction.

This story represents years of passion, reflection, and respect for the legacy of George R. R. Martin. It began as a wish to bring closure to a saga that shaped a generation of readers and became a labor of love, written over many long nights spent exploring the emotional landscapes of Westeros.

To everyone who has read, commented, or simply shared the journey, thank you. Recognition like this means the world because it comes from the very community that inspired it.
