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.

      Stargate Universe: Season 3, Episode 3
      The Zevrin Dominion

      When Destiny enters a galaxy ruled by a theocratic empire of zealots who worship the origin signal, every outsider is branded a heretic.

      To survive, the crew must navigate a galaxy on fire with holy war… where diplomacy is blasphemy, and retreat is seen as guilt.

      Their arrival marks only the beginning…
      The cleansing has already begun.

      They worship the signal. They call it divine. And they will kill to protect it.

      When Destiny drifts into a forgotten galaxy ruled by the Zevrin Dominion, a theocratic empire that reveres the origin signal as sacred scripture, the crew must navigate a deadly gauntlet of faith-fueled persecution. Branded heretics, hunted across star systems, and outnumbered at every turn, Eli and the others face a brutal truth: to survive this galaxy, they must not only outwit zealots but confront themselves as they struggle to cross a galaxy where all the gates have been destroyed but the path remains.

      The gate is still open.

      The Long Road is my fan-created continuation of Stargate Universe, picking up where Season 2 left off, with Destiny alone, speeding between galaxies, and Eli Wallace the only one left awake.

      One mind. One ship. One chance to survive. Systems are failing.
      The void is endless.
      And Eli is utterly, terrifyingly alone.

      After over 470,000 words, 93 chapters, and the weight of a myth that never quite landed… A Dream of Spring is finally complete.

      This is my final installment in the A Song of Ice and Fire continuation trilogy, picking up where The Winds of Winter left off, forging through the Long Night and beyond. It is not fanservice.

      (Author of Winds of Winter Fanfic, A Dream of Spring Fanfic, and more)

      This isn’t a self-help book. It’s a survival manual for the burnout generation.
      For the ones who grew up on The Breakfast Club, dodged landlines, laughed through trauma, and now find themselves staring down a world on fire with no map, no manual, and no damn refund.

      Help Yourself… Or Don’t is:

      • A Gen X guide to life in collapse
      • A brutally honest look at anxiety, purpose, failure, and the lies we’ve been sold
      • A sharp, poetic howl at the void… with footnotes

      I didn’t write it for clicks. I wrote it because someone had to.

      It begins where Martin left off… and it doesn’t pull punches.

      After years of waiting, debating, theorizing, and watching the fires cool, The Winds of Winter continues; unofficial, unfiltered, and unapologetically written to finish the saga that once defined a generation.

      78 chapters. Over 300,000 words. No filler. No shortcuts.

      This is not a recap of the show.
      This is not an algorithm-driven echo.
      This is A Song of Ice and Fire as it was meant to be: political, mythic, brutal, and beautiful.

      🗡 Jon Snow returns.
      🐺 The North rises.
      🦁 The lions fracture.
      🐉 The dragons burn their way toward destiny.
      And in the far cold distance… the Long Night stirs again.
