Well, through time in ENworld I guess I've turned into some kind of Blackdirge's narrative fan, and as such I will try to introduce you to his work. Here you will find indexed most of the threads that contain substantial amount of good story-stuff. For those who haven't read his works I recommend starting with his NPCs' lifetime story.

Rise and Fall of an Orc Chieftan: One of my faves.

Myrgle, Adept of Yeenoghu (Gnoll NPC adept throughout his life and beyond):

Nithrekel, Earth Mephit Fighter NPC through 50 years of servitude:

Urg the Unlikely, Half-Ogre Wizard NPC throughout a lifetime: One of my faves.

And Now: A BIG story
Metamorphosis - From Dretch to Demon Lord
Hazergal’s death was the true beginning of his journey to power, as he became a dretch demon and there slowly climbed the ranks of demonic status, eventually claiming the title of demon lord and becoming a unique and terrible new power in the abyss.

Blackdyrge's Bestiary: Terrors of the Under Realm I just got my claws upon this one. Just think about each creature in it having the same treatment as given to the NPCs through their lifetime...

This is a nice collection of source material from a fan/poster at another forum. Perhaps if you would better explain who Blackdirge is and what his posts are about, it would help readers of your article here understand what your article is about. Just reading your paragraph, I was not sure if Blackdirge was a character that someone had written stories about, if Blackdirge was someone who wrote stories about a character or campaign they had been in, or if Blackdirge had merely wrote some articles regarding rules or running a campaign or something that you liked.

That is, instead of merely saying you’re a fan of Blackdirge, explain to us what it is you like about Blackdirge's work and give us a synopsis of that work. More readers might be inclined to follow the links off-site if they know what exactly they are going to look at. Even more, you could do one or two sentences after each posted link to give a brief description of what the thread is about as well.
