Yuri Mataev

Yuri is a foreigner wherever he goes.
 
 
 
I was born in Russia, in a town called Rostov-on-Don, just east of the Ukraine. Quite a bit of relocation followed that. I liked fantasy from the first and when my sixth grade teacher forced us to write a fiction piece every week I naturally began a fantasy novel. The sad results of this are tucked firmly away. Thus hooked on writing at an early age and have continued ever since. I consider only my most recent work to be any good. I also help out with world design in the open-source Worldforge Project (www.worldforge.org), and everyone is welcome to join. I get a lot of inspiration from music, and I would like to thank all those numerous singers and musicians who inspired me.

Please more to the Sources of belief. It is still the best series of stories I have red here and I'd say that I have red at least fifty stories... I know it's not much but none of them has been even comparable to this so PLEASE WRITE MORE!

:-) Yuri Mataev replies: "I'm really thankful for all the feedback I'm getting. I have actually considered returning to the Sources of Belief and continuing it. Unfortunately this will involve re-writing a lot of it. I may yet try reviving the story. Thank you everybody, and keep nagging!"

Hullo Yuri.

I highly doubt you remember me. But I spoke to you on the net ages ago. You had a website up with that story you have "tucked firmly away". I read that story when you had it posted on your webpage. It was quite good as I recall. In fact it was excellent considering your age at the time.

I still have my printed version of it around here somewhere. Just in case you ever become famous 2 Having found more of your work here I'll be sure to read it and give you some feed back. Keep it up Yuri.

Ta ta.

:-) Yuri Mataev replies: "Hmm. Nope, you're exactly right. I don't remember you... I don't even remember chatting to anyone on the net before 2002 when I discovered the beauties of IRC. ALthough "Avatar" does ring some faint bell. Thanks for the encouragement, anyway. I'm hoping to post some new work soon. And remove some old work..."

Hey Yuri, its me again, a year later. 10

I recently moved and found the story you had written. It was called "The Sleeper Awakens" I printed it and stuck it in a duotang way back when and I found it a little while ago. Maybe it was a different Yuri who wrote this... but somehow I find that unlikely.

Keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing your novels on the shelves at Chapters someday.

Tata.

:-) Yuri Mataev replies: "Gosh, is that thing still floating around somewhere? It's the same Yuri, alright..."

The work you have done here is excellent! It is most assuredly
top quality material. I especially like your "Sources of Belief" series. I'm just itching to learn about what happens to them and how their quest ends. I am also intrigued by the entity known as "the King of Silence." If you have the time and are feeling creative, please finish the
"Sources of Belief" series. No pressure here, this is just a humble request from a reader wishing for more of your wonderful work.

With all your political writing and views on the group, I should have expected that your writing would be this good. Pop on over and read my stuff sometime, tell me what ya think!

From a writer as skilled as you, any advice would be appreciated. 1

See ya on the group sometime...
