I've been meaning to mention this for a while, but kept forgetting. In the wuxiaworld forums is a short story I wrote a long time ago. It's a stereotypical classic wuxia story called "Love, Sorrow and Chaos." As you might be able to guess from the title, it's not exactly a happy-go-lucky comedy. In terms of length, it's about the same as 8 or 9 ISSTH chapters. Check it out if you want a glimpse into the mind of Deathblade even before he began to study Chinese.
