You likely came from ff.net to this page. If you didn't, see here for an explanation. For those at wikia, I realize that this is me essentially advertising stuff I've done on another site, but hopefully my contributions (mainly here, but also at others), will show that I'm not leaching off the easy editing here.

Current Works
At this point in time, this section is divided into two lists; the intended writing order and the priority of drafting. Apart from the rare exception, a story must be fully outlined before I list it in the writing order. I intend to move through each one at a time. Note that these stories are not necessarily grouped in the same way that ff.net groups them. In regards to determining the writing and drafting order, I factor in various considerations, but length and canon are usually the foremost concerns.

Writing Order

 * All the World's a Stage (Firefly)
 * Alive (Overwatch)
 * The Dark Tower (Deep Down)

Drafting Order
This lists the priority of drafting, decreasing in priority as the list moves down. It isn't as strict as the writing order, as I allow myself enough flexability to draft more than one story at a time. Still, a story has to have reached the fifth stage of drafting (the outline) before I list it here.

The 100
''I was born in space. I've never felt the sun on my face. Or breathed real air. Or floated in the water. None of us have. For three generations, the Ark has kept what's left of the human race alive. But now, our home is dying, and we are the last hope of mankind. A hundred prisoners sent on a desperate mission to the ground. Each of us is here because we broke the law. On the ground, there is no law. All we have to do is survive. And we will be tested. By the Earth, by the secrets it hides, and most of all, by each other.''

Morning Dew

A short story, one created as a quick diversion. Set in the Days of Ruin setting, it takes place well after the events of the game and focusses mostly on EdxCatleia. Nothing fancy, but the time period does allow me to play around with their personalities a bit. And...yeah, that's about it.

Aladdin
''This is no ordinary lamp. It once changed the course of a young man's life. A young man who, like this lamp, was more than what he seemed. A diamond in the rough. Perhaps you would like to hear the tale?''

Multi-chaptered Stories
Lamp's Last Light

This started off as a oneshot titled "The Day the Laughter Died," the idea jotted down in light of Robin Williams (voice of the Genie) passing away. I ended up turning it into a multi-chaptered story and changing the name.

Plotwise, it's set after the third film in the series, sort of acting as a "book's end" sort of story (granted, the third film did this as well). In a way it's a fanfic attempt of turning a trilogy of films (cartoon and other works notwithstanding) into a tetraology. And also reflecting Williams's death.

A snag has come up in that it has since been revealed that the genie and peddler are one and the same character. By proxy, I concieved this story without having seen the third film, and while I still haven't seen it, given how it caps off the series as a whole, the idea of doing a "book's end" for the series feels redundant at best, and given the nature of the story, mean-spirited at worst. I may end up scrapping the story, because while there's nothing to stop the story from occurring, I don't think I could do a good job of adding to the Aladdin mythos.

Projected Length: A prologue, 13 chapters, and an epilogue

Alan Wake
''Stephen King once wrote that "Nightmares exist outside of logic, and there's little fun to be had in explanations; they're antithetical to the poetry of fear." In a horror story, the victim keeps asking "Why?" But there can be no explanation, and there shouldn't be one. The unanswered mystery is what stays with us the longest, and it's what we'll remember in the end.'' ''My name is Alan Wake. I'm a writer.''

Compass

This story is based on the episode Forced Perspective. It partially novelizes the episode, but takes place entirely from Venetri's POV, progressing in chronological order. So, taking place before the assassination of Tharin, during it (the episode's flashback sections), the intervening years, and finally the events of the episode itself.

Another World
''This is not Earth. This is another world. The fight for survival has begun.''

Multi-chaptered Stories
Another World

As the title probably makes clear, this is a novelization of the game. This caused me a lot of trouble, in regards to both playing the game way back in the day, and how to novelize it considering it has no dialogue, and a lot of the story is up to interpretation. Still, managed it, with the story mainly being in the first person as told from Lester's POV. One thing I did do was compress/cut out certain events however, as...well, let's be honest, Buddy and Lester seem to be omnipotent at times considering how they're able to keep finding each other.

Projected Length: A prologue, 13 chapters, and an epilogue

Army Men
''A world exists that's quite different from our own. There, a battle rages out of control. A battle between good and evil...Green and Tan.''

Multi-chaptered Stories
Of Greys and Ghosts

A dream. A castle. Supernatural activity. The result of which was an...Army Men story?

Yep, somehow a dream of a castle, Sonic the Werehog and ghosts somehow led to this. And to be fair, the Gray Army did have a castle in Sarge's Heroes 2 and did have Doctor Madd who made plastic zombies so...um, yeah. And with some Tan troops coming across them, because...heck, it's plastic men we're dealing with here. Is an explanation really needed? XD

Underwent a fair extension in regards to length, partly due to the need to flesh out the protagonist. You know, creating a Tan character that isn't a megalomaniac. Still, the fic doesn't have many characters&mdash;both the Tans and Greys are hemogonous, and considering that all the nations of the Plastic World effectively are, I guess it's appropriate in a sense. Overall, I felt that trying to flesh out too many characters would simply result in padding.

For our race, for our planet and for the future of all living things.''

Doctor Grace Augustine

Multi-chaptered stories
Rainbow

Relatively short story, focussing on Jake's time as a marine, mainly the "rough bush" he experienced in Venezuela. The story is so named because each chapter is themed after one of the traditional colours of a rainbow. Strange choice I know, but hey, in a series dominated by blue, maybe other colours can play a role. :)

Minor note in that this was admittedly influenced by conflicts going on at the time, namely Ukraine and Iraq (specifically ISIS). Not to the same extent that The Price of Freedom was, but enough to affect the tone and writing style. The story that is being written is much darker than the original outline made allowance for.

Other point in that this was followed by Seven Deadly Sins, a Firefly story. Bit of a spillover in that both are themed around seven aspects (colours/sins), both involves similar combat, and both focus on a sole protagonist. However, Rainbow is more focused on character interactions, whereas Seven Deadly Sins is more focused on the sole protagonist, and spread over far longer a period of time.

Babylon 5
''It was the dawn of the Third Age of Mankind, ten years after the Earth-Minbari War. The Babylon Project was a dream given form. Its goal: to prevent another war by creating a place where humans and aliens could work out their differences peacefully. It's a port of call – home away from home for diplomats, hustlers, entrepreneurs, and wanderers. Humans and aliens wrapped in two million, five-hundred thousand tonnes of spinning metal, all alone in the night. It can be a dangerous place, but it's our last best hope for peace. This is the story of the last of the Babylon stations. The year is 2258. The name of the place is Babylon 5.''

Final Five

This is a prompt-based story, namely on "five things that make a character smile." In this case, it applies to each member of the Final Five. Not that many of them would find many things to smile about after the realization of their origins, but hey, the exception proves the rule. As such, it's one chapter for each of them-some are easier than others, but still doable.

Something to note is that there's actually a BSG comic that shares the same name as this story. Not only that, but I was actually aware of it when I concieved this story, and somehow simply forgot about it until now. Um...yeah. My bad. 0_0

The NEXUS 6 Replicants were superior in strength and agility, and at least equal in intelligence, to the genetic engineers who created them. Replicants were used off-world as slave labour, in the hazardous exploration and colonization of other planets. After a bloody mutiny by a NEXUS 6 combat team in an Off-world colony, Replicants were declared illegal on Earth-under penalty of death. Special police squads-Blade Runner Units-had orders to shoot to kill, upon detection, any trespassing Replicant. This was not called execution. It was called retirement.''

Multi-chaptered Stories
The Reckoning

This is an adaptation of the Captain Planet game that was released for the Sega Megadrive. Not that it had much of a story, but then again, games in those days rarely did. However, of what story did exist, enough existed to make a piece of written fiction out of it. Suffice to say, it's set between Season 5 and 6...you know, before everything went to hell with the new animation (personally I prefer the old style) and the horrible rap intro. Also fills in a plothole as to why Zarm never appeared in the last season...

Multi-chaptered Stories
Deus Ex Machina

I can't call this a serious fic per se and in all honesty, it could probably fit entirely into a oneshot. However, it would be a long one at that and as such, I thought that it could work better as a short story. Not outlined much and indeed, it did start out as a oneshot. However, I've refined it enough to expand it. As it is, the story is centered on LEGION over the course of Kane's Wrath, or at least the game's cutscenes.

Length: 3 chapters

Status: Complete

Orbis Unum

This was a story I wrote as a oneshot originally, but saw its potential to expand into a multi-chaptered story provided I expanded the word count and content. Basically it deals with investigative reporting in Africa, with GDI pulling out after the Second Tiberium War. It's a similar format to Deus Ex Machina in a sense, though reflective in a past sense rather than a present one.

Length: 3 chapters

Status: Complete

Beneath the Eagle's Wing

This started out as a oneshot, but due to its length and multiple intertwined plots, I realized it was taking on a form that was better suited for a multi-chaptered story. Made it so anyway. It's set after the Third Tiberium War, set in Egypt, with much of the area becoming a red zone. Centred on Cassandra Blair&mdash;have a thing for writing from reporters' POVs I guess. Also worth noting that this story takes some influence from Tiberium Alliances, namely the antagonism between GDI and the Forgotten.

Thirteen

As the name suggests, this is a novelization of the Thirteen story of the promotional ARG that was released prior to the first game. Why it's called this apart from 13 being an unlucky number I don't know, but decided to keep with the original title anyway. Wouldn't say differences/additions are too drastic, but many extra scenes have been created to fill in the gaps. Unlike Lethal Affections, the story, while more simple, is far more linear, hence the need for additions.

Jungle of Shadow

Originally this was a Sonic the Hedgehog story (one adapted from The Minpins by Roald Dahl, believe it or not) and for all intents and purposes, still is (see the STH section). However, the story had a stint in the graveyard section, as it was written in the style of a multiverse approach to the series, an approach that I no longer possess. In the time between its conversion, I had an idea of transposing the story into a Diablo one. The end result is that I have two Jungle of Shadow stories, both of which possess a similar storyline. Still, hopefully the differences are sufficient enough so they don't violate the site's guidelines. The drafting was somewhat hindered however, as I needed to cross reference the original plot-something that can't be done on public transport. Also a bit more thought went into the entities this time round, with more of them. That's the Sin War for you. Admittedly though, within the Diablo setting, the main antagonist may be a bit similar to Karbraxis.

Regardless, in this version, the story is set in the Jungles of Kehjistan. Originally it was to take place during the Sin War before the Dark Exile. However, I decided that the story would make more sense were it set within the Dark Exile itself, given some of the characters involved. As such, it takes place in the late 10th century&mdash;after the Prime Evils were banished to Sanctuary, but before the formation of the Horadrim.

Unfortunately, this story has been rendered completely null by Book of Cain, namely for the presence of Auriel. It was established that only Tyrael knew about the Dark Exile and hid it from his peers, so Auriel, or any other angel couldn't have interacted with Diablo. Yaerius is unlikely to be an actual entity, so he's out as well. And if Tyrael confronted Diablo (who is lacking a mortal host in the story-another error), he'd have gone straight to the soulstone/Horadrim operation, not wasted an opportunity to skip decades of hunting the Prime Evils. So yes, the concept behind the story, and the story itself, have been rendered moot.

Facing the Music

This is a story that's 'plotted' rather than 'planned,' to use the old analogy. While I'm more of a planner when it comes to story conception, there is the odd exception, and this is one of them. And suffice to say, some changes have occurred that I didn't expect. Regardless, this story is set in Africa while Elysium is being built, set over a century before the events of the movie. It's a 'year in the life'-type story, where each chapter occurs in a subsequent year. It also has songfic elements, as in, not relying on pre-existing songs to reflect the story, but rather to use made up lyrics to serve as a means of exposition and character development. Not sure how well it works, but hey, I'm always up for trying new things.

As per the plotting rather than planning approach, this story took a bit of a turn during development. It was taken from a short story titled Kill Switch originally, which involved genetic modifications for musicians (hence the music angle). However, I turned away from most of the inspiration and made it more down to earth, and more geopolitical in nature. Additionally, its story-lore is mostly derived from website material rather than the film itself. As an aside, I tried an epigraph approach to worldbuilding in the story, but abandoned it, as the events felt too small-scale to warrant epigraphs.

Minor note is the lack of character gender variety, how there's only a single female protagonist surrounded by male characters. Not intentional I assure you, but something I noticed along the way.

Space Pilot 2000

A novelization of the pilot episode of season 1, Premiere. Not exactly a giant leap for mankind, but better than just going straight through the wormhole.

Anyway, yes, it's a novelization. I started calling it "Premiere," but found the title too general. Then called it "Pilot" for awhile, but it made me uneasy, considering we have a Pilot character, a Pilot species, John piloting Farscape-1, and the episode being a...well, pilot. So, called it "Space Pilot 2000" to spruce it up a bit. Yeah, John launches in 1999, but season 1 apparently extends into 2000, so go figure. Apart from that, standard novelization and expansion/addition of material. Go figure.

Blazing Sword: Inheritance

Pride: "Gather round, readers, as I show you the longest, the greatest novelization of a Fire Emblem story ever! So long! So grand! A tale of the training storyline of Blazing Sword and-...

Reason: "Wait a minute...isn't Blazing Sword the most common game for fanfic FE novelizations? And isn't telling Lyn's story singlely also common?"

Pride: "...I hate you."

Ahem, yes...now that that's over, I'll get down to business. Yes, this is a novelization of Lyn's prequel story in Blazing Sword, done so because I feel that not only can it stand alone from Eliwood's/Hector's, but given the one year gap between the two, makes more sense to be told on its own as well. Certainly it's the same conclusion that many others have reached and applied, so yes&mdash;this isn't the first novelization of Lyn's story in the world, nor will it be the last. And while I've gone to some lengths to flesh out even the most minor of characters (e.g. villagers), I can't really go on a praise tangent. And that's probably for the best, not to mention it's only in the drafting stage. Still, something to look forward to...or not.

Seven Deadly Sins

This story took over a year to write. Originally it was meant to be a collection of short stories/oneshots focusing on the Operative, with the last two left for the film Serenity. Along the way I converted it into a more cohesive narrative. It was based on a challenge to write a seven chapter story each corresponding to one of the seven cardinal sins, though I ended up adding a prologue and epilogue.

Interesting tidbit in that this kind of had some spillover from Rainbow, an Avatar (movie) story. Both are themed around seven things (sins/colours), and in both cases the protagonist is involved with a squad. Not to mention I had to use similar fighting scene writing techniques. Luckily, in this case, it quickly diverges.

Took some inspiration from the novel Ender's Game, for what it's worth, namely the psychological aspect of the training part of the storyline.

Made adjustments after reading Leaves on the Wind - nothing major, but it does incorporate characters I previously wasn't aware of. Other adjustments were made continuously throughout the story, namely character motivations, names, etc. That being said, with Big Damn Heroes (the novel), elements of this story could be rendered null, specifically in regards to my take on the Battle of Serenity Valley. We'll see what happens.

All the World's a Stage

"Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage."

An excerpt from Macbeth, for those of you who don't know Shakespeare. And effectively it provides the inspiration for this, when one's emotional state descends to such a level. In this case, I apply it to Zoë in the aftermath of Serenity, coping with Wash's death in the so-called seven stages of grief. Akin to Seven Deadly Sins really, but focusing on a different character. Still, this is made iffy by Leaves on the Wind since it takes place right after the film, with Zoë already for me. In a sense, the comic might do my job for me.

A Song of Ice and Fire

References to a certain book series by George R. Martin aside, there's a certain trend I've noticed in Frozen fiction. The pairing up of Elsa is particuarly prolific, and when she isn't being paired up with Anna (ugh), she's being paired up with someone with fire powers. While this story stays clear of the former, it admittedly falls into the latter. I'll say in my defence that I noticed this trend after conceiving of the story, but by the time I'd solidified the story, the trend was established.

Anyway, yeah, it's primarily a romance story, with a man who has fire powers, and is in a grim situation. That said, unless this is a trend to, it does take quite a bit of reference from Egyptian and, to a lesser extent, Greek mythology in regards to its storyline, along with a bit of Tiberian Twilight. I can't call it the most original work in the world, but in the event I ever get around to writing it, hopefully it will be an enjoyable one.

Something of note is that this was conceptualized before it was revealed that the Frozen narrative would be continued in novel form, not to mention the sequel movie. There's a notable chance that this could be rendered null by canon, but since a Frozen sequel was on the books well beforehand (no pun intended), the story is kind of designed to be able to fit in easily with canon. Time will tell I guess.

Multi-chaptered Stories
The Long Road

Is it strange that in a series dominated by the war between the COG and Locust Horde that my first multi-chaptered GoW story is set during the Pendulum Wars, focussing on the conflict between the COG and UIR instead? Maybe. Maybe not. Regardless, that's the time period in which this fic is set, though I wouldn't really call it a war story (which is good for me-I dislike both reading and writing military fiction generally). Taking a degree of inspiration from Lord of the Flies for its characters and Band of Brothers for some fight scenes, this is basically a story of survival by normal people in extreme circumstances. Focusses mainly on OCs, though a few canon characters make appearances.

By way of origin, this story is adapted from a dream that I had. Many of the scenes were taken from it. Also added some stuff with the release of Anvil Gate, namely in regards to the Shaoshi. However, something to note is that from the dream, I originally included a leviathan, with Myrrah gaining info on the surface of Sera from it. However, I decided to cut this sub-plot out, as I felt it was too much of a stretch. Myrrah would no doubt be interested on obtaining information on the surface in the event of an invasion, but I don't see her being able to rely on a leviathan to do it. And being in contact with Adam Fenix, there'd be less of an incentive to do so in that she was willing to wait for him to find a solution to the lambent originally. And since the leviathan appeared in a river in the dream, as opposed to the underground lake/seas of the games, I felt this was another stretch. Hence, I removed it.

On the other hand, The Slab established that Myrrah did indeed scout the surface prior to Emergence Day (or at least implies it) so...yeah. Might have been able to get the leviathan idea to work. <_>

The Wise One

Multi-chaptered Stories
The Weyard Chronicles

Although it shares a name, this isn't the same story as The Weyard Chronicles situated in the graveyard section. While the graveyard term is for my original conception of a 20+ Golden Sun series (no guesses as to why that never happened), this is a term for lore I developed for that series. Like the other Chronicles stories, this is a grouping of that material into narrative form, to ensure it doesn't go to waste. In this case, it mainly focusses on the various monsters in the series, giving insight into aspects such as their culture. Note, however, that the length could be reduced from what is given below, as a lot of the lore developed no longer gels with the setting.

Projected Length: 20 chapters

Status: Ready to be written

In the Shadow of the Sun

This is an adaptation of The Magician's Nephew&mdash;the first of the Chronicles of Narnia series. Or at least the first half of it. After that...well, that's another kettle of fish. But like I said, an adaptation, specifically one that takes long before the games, but after the end of the Golden Age. However, it's very much stand-alone and bar one exception, is entirely composed of OCs.

Projected Length: A prologue and 12 chapters

Status: Outline complete, ready to be written

Hall of the Mountain Queen

The basis for this story came from Hall of the Mountain King&mdash;an old Legend of Zelda story. Said story has its entry in the graveyard section, so most of the background info for this story comes from it. Suffice to say, it's adapted from the story I designed, which in turn was loosely based on the orchestral piece of the same name by Greig.

Like In the Shadow of the Sun, this is OC based (bar one exception) and set in the period between the end of the Golden Age and the start of The Broken Seal. Arguably ties in a bit more with the games given how it takes place in/around Imil Cave, but it's minor nonetheless.

Projected Length: A prologue and 9 chapters

Status: Outline complete, ready to be written

The Broken Seal: Mercury

Long ago, I attempted a novelization of The Broken Seal. The story of my attempt is a story in itself, but suffice to say, I ended up discontinuing it. The story behind its cancellation can be found in its graveyard section entry. This, however, is a revamped version of it. One of three parts actually.

The problem with revisiting The Broken Seal was the fact that when it was conceived, my planning methods were quite haphazard. The result was that I was both writing and drafting the story simultaniously. By the time I gave it up, the projected length was a prologue, 68 chapters, and an epilogue. In terms of writing, I was up to ch. 25. In terms of drafting, I was up to ch. 54. The result was me being in a bit of a rut. I had a general idea of where the story was to go, but no real concrete plan. I'd written and drafted too much to go back to square one, yet not enough to keep going. Added to which was that so many of my original ideas were rendered null by Dark Dawn. The result was, as I said, a rut. Where should I put The Broken Seal? Drafting order? Writing order? Start again and likely never finish? It's a side-effect of how I organize stuff, how some of the fic could go on my writing order, some of it could go on drafting order, while some of it didn't qualify for either.

And then, while doing office work, a brainwave struck me. Divide it.

I'm not a big fan of dividing. I'm open to sequels, but I don't want to end on cliffhangers because my conception of stories is...loose, to say the least. But here, I'm willing to pull it off. The Broken Seal novelized in three parts. One part for what I wrote, one part for what I drafted, one for what I had yet to cover.

Mercury is the first of these three parts, to cover what I wrote and the remaining chapters up to the events of Mercury Lighthouse. Much of this is rewriting, to accommodate what I hope is better quality writing, and to re-design aspects of the story. Another thing that kept me snagged was how to handle the old lore, whether I should do a false history-type story. Still, I think it can be covered in the author's notes. Speaking of history, I've settled on using epigraphs as a form of worldbuilding, using the books found in the game as a basis.

Concerning Pavel, I've gone back and forth on him many times, since let's face it, he was basically a self-insert. I considered boiling down his material into a separate story titled "Steel Under Sun," but while that has its own problems (OC-centric stories in RPGs tend to be iffy due to the provision of core characters), I've decided to at least remove his material from this version. The same goes for the original summons story ideas I had (basically treating them as existing in-universe rather than being a game mechanic for the most part. As per the tightening of the story, entire scenes have been removed when compared to the original version.

Projected Length: A prologue, 28 chapters and an epilogue

Status: Need to rewrite up to ch. 25, remaining chapters need to be written, rewrite up to ch. 4

The Broken Seal: Liquidus

Mercury covers most of the backstory of this fic, so I'd rather not repeat myself. Regardless, this is the stuff that I drafted, but didn't write. It covers the events from Mercury Lighthouse to leaving Kalay. Not exactly where I got up to in drafting (just short), but I figure it's a good place to leave off. Note that this comes under writing order. So much of it is drafted already, I don't want to go back to scratch, but rather make electronic ammendments. As this requires cross-referencing with a notebook, this is something I can't draft in the normal sense, which is always in a notebook and usually on public transport and the like.

Minor note in that the third part of the trilogy will be titled Venus, covering the remaining events to the end of the game. However, that has to be both drafted and written, so it doesn't get an entry yet.

Multi-chaptered Stories
Shadows of Hope

A bumpy road. A very bumpy road. And one that hopefully demonstrates that third time's a charm.

The original Shadows of Hope, put simply, was something that I'm willing to guess was "so bad it was good." Certainly I recieved feedback at least. However, it was poorly put together, finally alerting me to how important drafting is to a multi-chaptered story, or at least one with plot. Certainly I liked the plot I'd cooked up, however uninspired it might have been taking references from both Shadow of the Xel'naga and Metal Gear, not to mention that it seemed to change in my mind every few days. Such elements included a tie-in to the beginning of The Fall of Reach, with the Spartans on Jericho VII.

As such, I carried out a 'redux' version. Certain elements were corrected (military terminology and ranks), rectified (far less Gary-stuness...and sueness for that matter) and properly formatted (aka drafted). Earlier versions had it tied into a conceptual story titled Blood of Sargurine but I removed them in the current versions, as not only is it unlikely I'll ever develop BoS but to be frank, it's just a ripoff of Sons of Liberty. It still had elements I'm not too fond of, but this was a fic that was cancelled and, unlike numerous others that I've cancelled, one that I wanted to actually finish.

Once again, problems set in. When I first started the fic, I set it in the early stages of the war between the Covenant and UNSC to avoid any conflict with the then yet to be released Halo 3. However, with that same area of the timeline being fleshed out by canon material (Halo Wars and Chronicles, albiet the latter being canceled), conflict could have ndeed arisen. Ensemble was adding units that I would have liked to use if I could get the chance and I'd linked the storyline to that of Halo Wars itself to an extent-before learning that the Spirit of Fire was to head off to Arcadia rather than hanging around Harvest. In the end, the coup de grace came from an unexpected source, namely the letdown that was The Cole Protocol, its storyline and information basically rendering the ideas I had moot.

In the end, I managed to make the required changes to the plot. A case of quantity rather than quality in a sense in that while the overall plot remains the same, there's subtle changes all over it. Mostly a combination of placeholders and more accurate renditions of technology. Got in the clear in some areas, as per risks taken in percieved potential issues by Halo Wars, The Forerunner Saga and The Fall of Reach comic. What was a certainty however, was that I had to do some alterations as per material present in the Halo Encyclopedia and Cryptum. There is at least some silver lining to this fic's status in that Halsey's journal and the Reach data pads (possibily) validated key aspects of the plot, though in the case of the former, possibly jeproadized as well. At the least my take on the Grizzly was rendered inaccurate by The Essential Visual Guide&mdash;Forge played a more minor role than first thought. And considering what became the Grizzly was originally a walker in the story...yeah, four legs good, two legs bad (at least during the era in which the story is set in). Oh, and the lightning guns in the story have a funny similarity to the ARC-920. Guess I had a thing for jumping the gun in regards to the UNSC's technological development. <_>

Length: 18 chapters

Status: Complete

Sanctuary

The origins of this fic are various. Originally, it came from a dream that was some weird mix of Doctor Who and Warhammer. Once I started drafting, I found myself being influenced by Resident Evil, Terminator and The Cortana Letters. The overall result though is hopefully something relatively original. Oh, and as the chapter hints, the setting is based off the Halo 2 map Sanctuary.

Sounds simple? it wasn't. This story has been altered a few times to fit with canon. One fairly significant change had to be made to better fit the canon of Blood Line. However, Halo 4 has prompted a major revision of the story. The thing is, basically speaking, it beat me to the idea of the Forerunners converting to metalic bodies in order to provide immunity to...well, the Flood in the case of the Prometheans, but my original idea was that of Forerunners doing it to make themselves immune to the Halo effect. The problem though, is that the Composer is, as far as we know, the only device that can do this, and there was no concievable way to get it in the hands of non-Prometheans. And by virtue of this, I couldn't keep my original designs for the automatons in the story, because there's no reason for 'composed' Forerunners to use non-Promethean knight bodies.

So yeah, the story needed changing. Originally it was set in 2525, during the last stages and after the events of Contact Harvest. I've since moved it to coincide with the events of Halo 4 roughly. Lots of other changes have had to be made, but the bare bones of the story will remain the same. It does slightly skew Shadows of Hope in that Jefferson no longer plays the same role he was meant to as mentioned in the above story, but as I didn't tie it in too heavily, it can stand alone. And since Sanctuary now takes place after Alpha, I've had to sever the connection between the two stories. Halo 4, ladies and gentlemen. Destroying continuity everywhere. Silentium may also make it iffy, but time will tell.

Admittedly an issue exists. Namely that, both maps are actually set on Delta Halo itself (as far as I can tell). You know...the hula hoop of death that's discovered 27 years after this story is set, whilst on this it's a different planet entirely. Not exactly a plot issue, but one I feel foolish for missing, that it means there's effectively two duplicate ruins in the universe. Never played that much multiplayer, and when I did, I wasn't too concerned with setting. Still, best thing to do (if anything, and that's a big if), is to give it the same treatment that Inner Fire was to Operation Claws Again, if it's worth it.

Another adjustment had to be made in changing the character of Parangosky to Ossman in this story, considering the timeframe, and how Ossman had taken Parangosky's position by it.

Projected Length: A prologue, 10 chapters and an epilogue

Status: Fully drafted, ready to be written

Alpha

There's a lot of possible expansion the Halo series can take, and one of them is the issue of the Spartan II Third Series-the one that Yasmine Zaman and Nicole-458 feature in. This was arguably a story of a case with 'something to prove', given how Bungie confirmed The Haunted Apiary to be canon, but Nicole was still a non-canon character. Being the inclusionist that I am, I guess this was my attempt to canonize her. However, 343 Industries has, er, stolen my thunder a bit by confirming that Nicole is indeed a canon character, but her role in Dead or Alive 4 isn't. So I guess this is me going the extra mile rather than the original one. Guess this is still an issue however&mdash;by virtue of being a canon character, Nicole can be further fleshed out in canon. Meh. I guess it's also worth mentioning that material for this was also derived from The Cortana Letters.

In regards to the story itself, references are taken from DOA4, but it's not a crossover, so no DOATEC or scantly clad female ninjas. Admittedly, it also takes some reference from the Terminator series, but nothing major. In addition, the material of The Babysitter is also relevant to the storyline...However, Primordium could prove to be an issue in regards to the genetic aspects (Spartan-IIs, Reclaimers, etc.) At the least though, Glasslands seems to have validated aspects of the storyline in regards to the remaining Spartan-IIs. Also had to revise some aspects as per Sadie's Story, in regards to UEG law enforcement.

There are some issues however. Firstly is that there could be some overlap with The Orion Chronicles, in regards to what material I feature and how much of it. Drafting was a bit slow with this, given how the drafting material was spread over more than one notebook, but it became easier over time.

Something to note is that this story originally tied-in heavily with Sanctuary, as it continued Jefferson's story from it (Shadows of Hope not being that relevant). Unfortunately, due to Halo 4, I had to revise Sanctuary to the extent where it's no longer linked with this story. In fact, it's set after it. Looking at the situation, I decided to make Alpha stand on its own, to keep Jefferson in it, but revise his backstory. And some other elements of the story, but it's comparatively small-fry.

The Orion Chronicles

This is one of the "chronicles" stories I've developed for various medias. In my early days of fanfiction, there were a number of cases where I'd make stuff up for the sake of making stuff up-characters with no stories, technology with no fictional use, etc. The end result is that for a number of medias, I'd wind up with a stockpile of unused material. The "Chronicles" stories are a form of conveying that material in written form, via short-story form. Something for me to write and see whether I establish the material as being part of personal canon, or effectively isolate it. Differs for each case really.

Projected Length: 16 chapters

Chasing Icarus

Most of this was thought up while I was overseas, where I had the time to let my mind wander. Namely wander to the Forza Motorsport 4 Warthog promotion and the story of the UNSC Daedalus. Basically it was a story I decided to tell, taking the events and namesake into narrative form. General theme of hubris throughout the story, but hardly reaching metaphysical levels of course. Timeframe under some risk from the Kilo-Five Trilogy, Halo 4 and/or Spartan Ops, but hopefully not too extreme.

Also of note is that this story admittedly has a lot of similarities with the StarCraft story Downfall. Wasn't intentional, but upon reflection...yeah. So, keep that in mind.

Unity

This is an adaptation of a dream I had, one that had aspects of Battlestar Galactica and Halo in it. Applying it to the latter media, I guess this would be a sidequel were it a canonical story, taking place during the Battle of Earth, mainly in the realm of Halo 2 and ODST&mdash;specifically, the Covenant attack on Sydney. Influenced by Glasslands a bit also, but only through secondary sources at the time I was developing it.

Primordial

The conceptual basis for this story came from Diary of a Forerunner (see the graveyard section), where Forerunners studied Flood infection. Transferring the concept and altering the writing style, this version has human researchers effectively doing the same thing, set during the Flood's first appearance in human space (referring to the original human civilization here, not the UEG). However, the story has been rendered non-canon, albeit by my own mistakes - got the timeframe wrong, and the story no longer works because of it.

All I Want for Christmas

I actually meant to post this around Christmas, 2011, but events moved ahead of me. Still, better late or never for this story, though "story" may be a bit too generous. Really nothing more than a thematic-based oneshot collection, of children from each of the four Hogwarts houses writing letters to Santa. Read 'em and weep. Or not.

Minor note in that I intended each installment to have a limited no. of characters, namely four per chapter. Certainly I could have done more, but there's an imbalance of characters between Gryffindor and the other houses. Decided it better to be fair for each house.

During the course of feedback for this, had a bit of a debate as to whether the characters (all British) would use "Santa" rather than "Father Christmas." Fair enough, but it's kind of moot as I know from experience that in Britan at least, the terms are effectively interchangeable. Plus, "Father Christmas" felt like a defiance of the informal nature of the letters.

Matchmakers

The idea for this came from the Zagara/Anub'arak pairing video promotion, specifically the character profiles on the dating site Zagara looks at. It gave me the idea to apply the same treatment for all the characters in the game. The length will depend on how many characters are in the game when I get round to writing it, but it will be four chapters&mdash;Diablo, StarCraft, Warcraft, and "other," consisting of Blizzard Classic, Overwatch, and Nexus characters.

Often had to revisit past chapters and add new characters as new heroes have been released. Ultimately the story will be released at a point in time where new heroes will come that aren't in the story, but hey, go figure.

Quite Engaging

A short story focussing on the relationship between Rogan and Sophie in the aftermath of the events of the first game. Um...that's about it really.

I will say that I can't say I'm entirely satisfied with how this story turned out. Some of this is due to me as an individual, cutting out a sex scene for instance because I honestly didn't feel I could pull it off (and still don't). I will say in my defence though that aside from G perhaps, none of the series's characters really gives me that much to work with, and Rogan and Sophie are no exception, especially with the latter's existance really boiling down to give Rogan someone to rescue in the first game. Still, it did evolve a bit from my original concept, acting as a bit of an interquel between the first and second games of the series rather than set as a lead-up to the events of the third.

The Long Way Home

I've made no secret that I'm really not a fan of Interstellar. That may seem odd, since I have a section for it here on my homepage, but me disliking a piece of media has never really stopped me from writing for it. And, for all its faults, Interstellar does have ambition, if nothing else. Yet, I won't deny that this is a story that those who like the film will likely dislike, considering the shift in tone and the different themes conveyed (or at least tried to conveyed). But basically, it's set generations after the end of the film, with Cooper Station and Edmunds effectively being two different societies, with the Sol system having to deal with space pirates, among other things. And then there's Earth itself...

Course, all of this is dependent on me actually finishing it.

Predators

No, this has nothing to do with the movie of the same name or the yautja species. Rather, this is a dream adaptation story, one that involved me involved illegally transporting infant sharks from Darling Harbour to Roseville...both suburbs of Sydney that are on different sides of the Harbour Bridge. "Predators," in this case, referring to humans (predators) seeking what's destined to be predators higher in the food chain. And somehow, I made an Interstellar Marines story out of this...well, it does have sharks in it, right? And Australia is part of ITO in-universe, unlike poor New Zealand, which like Japan, doesn't seem to exist. Or Zero Point forgot to draw them in.

So yes, this is based on said dream, set in Sydney, with the sharks that ITO seems intent on developing. I can't help but wonder how appropriate the story is, considering that no marines actually appear in the story and the Sydney setting might be a bit alien for other audiences (who, on ff.net. mostly come from the US, UK and Canada). Still, nothing to stop me from doing so I guess and most writers tend to fall back on their country of origin. Luckily however, the jingoism one can find in such stories is absent.

For what it's worth, I did encounter a snag just as I began writing this story. From what I was able to gather from trailers and site material, ITO's research into Great Whites was taking place on Phobos, and the story was drafted as such. It was then revealed that the research was taking place on Orbital Research Station Xeno-13 which, judging by screenshots, was situated in orbit of Earth. This presented quite a few problems, as it's far harder to sneak off a space station than a moon, even if that moon has a radius of a mere 11.1km. Still, with some adjustments to the story and the addition of a new character (albiet appearing in only one chapter), I was able to correct the issue. Another minor issue was that I originally had the story's space elevator being set in Perth, but it was moved to Darwin as per space elevators preferably being located close to the equator.

Personally, I don't see this story as the strongest one I've ever written-granted, the oneshots and poems I write are hit and miss, but I like to think that with multi-chaptered stories, there's at least a modicum of quality control. Still, the writing group I'm part of seems to like it the most out of everything I've submitted, so hey, not complaining. Something else to note is that this could be seen as 'media hijacking'-IM takes a generally positive view of the future, and there's nothing wrong with that. However, I usuaully drift towards a more pessimistic side, and that definately shines through in this story.

Another minor note is the question of genre&mdash;had a conversation as to whether I intended the story to be cyberpunk. I can appreciate the similarities, namely that it's set in the near future, and corporate dominance plays a role. However, I think it essentially lacks the "high technology, low living" criteria, in that while Sydney has seen better days, the world is improved as a whole. And again, it's not my media to assign a genre to.

Underworld

This story comes from an old technique I used to use, namely that of relying on images to provide inspiration to devise a plot. A single picture, a music video, etc., I could generally come up with a basic plotline. I haven't used this technique recently however. Not sure why, just haven't had to rely on it so much. This story is a return to the format however, namely based on the advertising campaign that was developed for Liberation. I stumbled across the ads on YouTube, the ones that are marked by extrordinarily poor acting and some unfortunate ISA grunt always being on the recieving end of a helghast. I think they may have meant for the guy to be Templar, but if so, I can't say I agree with the image portrayed. He's supposed to be smart, not some newbie...

Anyway, the story is basic and just a bit of fun, hence the short length. It takes place during the events of Liberation. As a reference note, this story was originally an extra chapter longer than it is now. It was my original idea to have one chapter per ad shot and fill in the rest of the story with original material. However, upon beginning to write it, I found that the strangling scene couldn't possibly be extended to a whole chapter. Hence, I did some merging. Probably for the best.

Memories of the old world drifted into the past, and humanity turned its gaze forward. We came back stronger than ever, and for awhile, things were good. Then came the gangs. Gravity manipulation and supplement use led to superhuman abilities. Cartels from around the world unified to form the Breakers. In 2105 their empire expanded onto US soil, flooding the streets with narcotics and war. Law enforcement agencies were unified to keep the peace. Sam and I signed up on the first day.

Cycle of Eternity

This story started off as a oneshot, the timeframe covering the Legend of Zelda series as a whole. I realized soon into the fic that I was attempting to cover too much and it would work better as a multi-chaptered story. As such, I quickly set about working it into such a thing, allocating the ideas I'd come up with to specific chapters, expanding on each of them. The story was set to cover the entirety of the series timeline. Note the keyword here though: timeline. As in, only one. The story had been put into action before the Split Timeline Theory was confirmed as canon. Which meant that my take on the series had been rendered null and void. Somewhat depressed at the thought of writing something that was irrelevant in the long run, I deleted it.

In hindsight, it was perhaps a wise decision in some aspects, as I hadn't properly planned it. However, the basis for deleting it in regards to the timeline was something that I probably shouldn't have done. I liked writing the story and the plot I'd designed for it. As such, I decided to return to it, and present it as a case of false history. A creation myth, if you will, so that I could express my original ideas but do so in the knowledge that I wasn't defying canon.

Buccaneers

This is basically an adaptation of the novel Treasure Island, with elements of dark fantasy worked in. Perhaps a strange choice, since it's set not long after the events of The Wind Waker and that was about as far away from being "dark" as possible.

Very simple story, namely an adaptation of the Warhammer short story The Mark of Slaanesh, in this case, replacing Felix and Gortrek with Elegost and Hadhod respectively.

As the title suggests, this was a novelization of the game of the same name by EA, specifically the console version.

So, I deleted the story, put it on the backburner, and eventually, got round to getting it to a drafting position. A very long drafting position, since I have to deal with the game's size as well as its storytelling shortcomings, but, well, it's on the list at least.

Multi-chaptered Stories
Hand of Steel

Even if chapter lengths are considered, this would have to be one of the fastest, if not the fastest stories I've ever drafted. I did the bulk of the draft for this over a single weekend up at Mudgee. By the time I got back to Sydney, I'd done the first four stages and half of the outline. Of course, my hand hurt like hell by the time I got back home, but meh, I've seen the scenery before.

Anyway, the story mainly takes inspiration from a dream I had, one that was a mix of Star Wars, Halo, Command and Conquer and Mass Effect itself. Taking a bit of reference from the movie Aliens in addition to this, I decided to make a ME fic out of it. Storyline wise, it's set before Mass Effect itself, but doesn't particually tie in with it. Just a sidestory really with OCs, all of which are of the Systems Alliance. Canon characters are occassionly referenced and even make some appearances, but nothing major. Took a bit of risk with its storyline, but Ascension, Evolution, Mass Effect 2, its art book, Cerberus Daily News and the announcement trailer for Mass Effect 3 have validated it. Arrival may have made things a bit iffy however.

And no, the title has nothing to do with how much my hand hurt by the end of it. :)

Fist of Iron

I'm often dubious of anyone mentioning a sequel before the prior installment has been released. Still, that's what I did with this, beginning drafting before even finishing the outline of Hand of Steel. Yes, this is indeed a sequel to that story, featuring many of the same characters and taking place a few days/weeks before the beginning of Mass Effect. More canon characters this time around however, for better or worse. However, it has had elements rendered iffy by Mass Effect 2, by virtue of said elements being concieved before the game was released.

By way of origin, this story is once again dream based. However, while the source of Hand of Steel was quite random, the dream for this story was effectively a story in itself, fully coherant. Jotting it down, I realized I only had half a story and immediatly made up the bare bones of the second half. Yep, I've a strange mind. 0_0

Note that this was to have a sequel titled "Gaze of Steel." I've since moved it to the graveyard section however.

For the Uniform

I'm generally an inclusionist who sticks to default canon. In other words, I see the 'canon' Shepard as being male, named John, etc. However, with Bioware effectively 'canonizing' femShep in addition to her male counterpart via Mass Effect 3 art, I was left in a dilemma. As an inclusionist, I'm compelled to include whatever can be canon, but now instead of relying on the 'canon' Shepard I was faced with the balancing of the scales. Whatever my stance, I felt that simply spelling it out in my profile wouldn't cut it. Hence came up with a short story to convey it. Show, not tell and all that. Still covered generally in my profile (see the notes above), but this is the showing part rather than the telling. Effectively centres on Emily Wong delving into Shepard's background.

Multi-chaptered Stories
Where Griffons Go to Die

Well, it's happened. I've developed a multi-chaptered My Little Pony story. Celesita help me.

Issues of manliness aside, this is an OC-centric story, taking place in the Friendship is Magic setting, but occuring well before the actual series. Doesn't even take place in Equestria but rather the setting's equivalent of Africia. Zebras rather than ponies and all that. Go figure.

A snag of sorts exists with the official map of Equestria that was released, more or less establishing that griffons aren't native to Equestria, not to mention that their realm of origin is parallel east, while the series's equivalent of Africa is well south of Equestria. Nothing major, but it admittedly does stretch the plot a bit. That this was written before The Lost Treasure of Griffinstone aired is also problematic, as my take on griffon culture doesn't really match canon. Still, it's nothing too story-breaking.

I think it's worth mentioning that part of the idea for this story came from a short sci-fi story called Contact, one where a human astronaut encounters the last survivor of an alien species, carrying out ritual suicide (the "deathflight"). Goes beyond this in this story, but Vultur's fate in this story is indeed taken from Contact.

Sunset's Shimmer

This started off as a oneshot, based on Sunset's psychological state in Rainbow Rocks. However, I realized that the amount of material this had to cover would be too long for a oneshot, or at least, the idea provided far more material than a oneshot would cover. Enough to make a multi-chaptered story out of. So while this does run the risk of overlap with the novelizations, this is essentially an examination of Sunset's character growth in the film, as well as adding extra scenes outside its narrative. This has led to elements of tonal dissonance at times, but hopefully this can be alleviated.

A minor issue in that my take on Sunset's psyche and certain plot points pertaining to said psyche do have similarity to Legend of Everfree, in regards to how Twilight deals with the trauma of Midnight Sparkle. In a way this validates the plot given their similar experiences, but it does run the risk of repetition. Hopefully it works out. Another issue is that this potentially falls under the category of a songfic, since while the songs from the film aren't written out verbatim, they do feature to an extent. Still, hopefully it's not too obtrusive.

Alive

As the title suggests, this is a novelization of the Alive short. That's pretty much the extent of this story, though it does expand to depict aspects of Widowmaker's backstory, such as her brainwashing by Talon. I had to carry out some alterations/additions per Widowmaker's expanded backstory via the chateau map.

Some issues were created with the Tracer comic. I had to factor in Emily into the story (or rather, explain her absence), and some of my takes on Widowmaker could be iffy, since she's seen visiting Gerard's grave. Hopefully not too big of an issue though.

Footsteps on Dead Leaves

This is a story based on a challenge. To hear the sound of footsteps on dead leaves (literally) via a VLC audio file, and make a story based on it. Somehow, I did. One that focuses on the ranger class, acting as a prequel to the events of the game and depicting the events that led to her being captured and exiled to Wraeclast.

Projected Length: 9 chapters

Status: Ready to be written

Pagan

This story stemmed from a writing technique I refer to as "visual stimulation." This refers to taking one or more images and using them as the basis for a story. In this case, the image I chose was this one. Equating it with the witch class from the game, I decided to tell her background story, in essence, doing what Footsteps on Dead Leaves does for the ranger class. Main difference is that the witch is an antagonist rather than a protagonist, and the events of the story are mainly seen through the protagonist's eyes rather than hers.

Original Sin

The idea for this, at least in part, came from feedback for Pagan. Feedback that was quite scathing in nature. Not that I mind this - if anything, I welcome it. Problem was, it was feedback based on the nature of the story itself, and general dislike of the characterization and 'feel' of the story. Stuff that I couldn't really alter long after the story's posting. So while this is a sequel to Pagan, mostly taking 13-14 years after it, it's in some ways meant to be an antithesis to it. Or at least, a version of the story as the writing group I'm part of wanted it to be.

On the Edge of Nightmare

Similar to other class-based prequel stories (see above), this focuses on the scion. However, it is different from the others in that it is written in the style of first person active narration, with the scion telling her backstory (occurring over 17 years) to another exile. This was partly inspired by a reading of The Name of the Wind. Notably, while the other stories transpire over a few days, this one takes place over a number of years, from the scion's birth to her exile.

Multi-chaptered Stories
Shattered Dreams

This is a meme-based story one that used to be called "Yearning," but I thought that "Broken Dreams" made a better title...for the most part. "Broken Dreams" was probably a bit inaccurate in regards to Jayden and Antonio, given that the former doesn't really have dreams and the latter actively trained to be a samurai...still, 2 out of 6 isn't too bad. Still, as it turned out that one of the episode titles is "Broken Dreams," I decided it had to change to the title seen now.

Regardless, this story is based on "x things that people miss"&mdash;in this case, the Samurai Rangers. Certainly it's a theme brought up in the series at least, of what they've sacrificed to fight the nighloks (which brings up the Jayden and Antonio issue). Basically a character exercise. Note that the writing of this story isn't linear, and it's based on ideas as I go through the episodes. Any declaration of chapter position is relative rather than linear.

There is an issue with this story however, one that I predicted in earlier writing. Predicted eerilly well...unfortunately. Basically the writing has outstripped the episodes, where there haven't been enough episodes aired for me to get all the material I need without taking stabs in the dark in regards to characters. As such, I put the story on hiatus, as it's the type of story that's easy to get back into after absence, given its point-based nature. I waited until the end of season 1 before resuming work.

This story was originally six chapters but I shortened it to five, cutting out Antonio. He appeared later in season 1 and I therefore had less material to work with and unlike the others, he's a genuine volunteer for the Samurai Rangers, whereas the others never really had a choice in the matter. I may be able to use the material in a separate, similarly-themed story, perhaps using Lauren and Mentor Ji for instance, of depicting dreams that come true. However, this is unlikely.

''You know, Caboose, I used to not care. I just went along with orders and hoped that everything would work out for me. But after all that's happened, you know what I've learned? It's not about hating the guy on the other side because someone told you to. I mean, you should hate someone because they're and asshole, or a pervert, or a snob... or they're lazy, or arrogant, or an idiot, or a know-it-all. Those are reasons to dislike somebody. You don't hate a person because someone told you to; you have to learn to despise people on a personal level. Not because they're Red, or because they're Blue, but because you know them, and you see them every single day, and you can't stand them because they are a complete and total fucking douchebag.''

Multi-chaptered Stories
Beginnings

A very bumpy road. When I first started it I intended it to be a simple serries of stories that expanded upon hints at past events provided in the Red vs. Blue serries, therefore acting as a true prequel (hence the original title; Red vs. Blue: The Prequel Chronicles). Still, just like the progression of Sponsers vs. Freeloaders and Fire Team Charlie, I went down a different path and developed a plot. It ties in with the Halo serries and while it features numerous characters from RvB.

There are still a few things that irk me about this story. Firstly, there's the writing. This was the very first multi-chaptered fic I ever submitted and the 'quality' of the writing shows. Secondly, yes, I've left the ending on a cliffhanger, basically declaring that I would continue the story once Halo 3 had been released. However, this is something that I don't intend to follow up for a variety of reasons. The first is that I'm uneasy about continuing on from such a shoddy piece of work. The second is that certain plot points were developed that were really out of place for the RvB universe. I just wouldn't feel comfortable doing them.

So yeah. No continuation. Trust me, it's for the best. However, if you're curious, info as to where the story would have headed is in the graveyard section, under The Battle for Earth.

The Changing Face of War

In one sense, it's easy to say what this is, namely a take on the history of the Red vs. Blue universe, prompted by the plotholes represented by ep. 1 of Reconstruction. For awhile however, it was difficult to say what it was going to be: multi-chaptered or a oneshot.

Originally it was going to be the latter. However, after starting to write it, I realized that it might be a bit long for a single oneshot and that dividing it into chapters may be better. As such, I've decided to divide it into different chapters. It lacks the intricacies of the drafting for other fics, but as it's purely narrative and descriptive, this is not so much an issue.

What is an issue however, is that it's been rendered null by Burns' comments in director's commentary of Reconstruction, stating how the series is analogous to the events of Halo 3. It therefore seems that the Reds and Blues never travelled to the future at all and that the time travel aspect was part of the plot set up by Command. Still, unlike Beginnings, I can take it far more easily.

Prototype

This is sort of a novelization of the prototype version of Resident Evil 2, more commonly known as Resident Evil 1.5 in fandom. However, looking at the above sentence, "sort of" is the key word you should keep in mind.

Originally titled "Flames of Death" (go figure, though I may change the name again), the nature of this novelization is indeed, to tell the story of RE1.5, albeit keeping it in canon with the story of what it became (RE2). As such, it focuses entirely on Elza as its main protagonist with Leon nowhere in sight, with other characters tailored/removed to fit said canon (e.g. Irons is still a sociopath). Obviously this doesn't make for the most engaging of stories, and while drafting it I had a bit deja vu with Resident Evil 2, but I figured it would be better to go down this route rather than replacing RE2 or trying to integrate both versions. Something of note is that while drafting it, my take on Elza shifted a bit. While her personality is entirely up to fans to extrapolate, I did try to make her more sympathetic than my original take on her. Likewise, as I outlined the story, I carried out further revisions. Partly because of looking things up on the Resident Evil wiki, where they were able to suss out elements of Elza's story, partly to (hopefully) give the story a better climax. Thematically it changed to be focused on the concept of family.

A potential issue could be the remake of Resident Evil 2, namely how it's set to incorporate elements of Resident Evil 1.5, potentially rendering events in this story null. We'll see what happens.

This is in the setting of the Resident Evil film series, taking place two generations after the events of The Final Chapter. Came from a weird dream actually, where Alice came across a cult that lived in a flooded school basement. Yeah...no idea where that came from. But somehow I converted it into a story. I feel it's worth noting that the ideas behind this story take a lot of inspiration from The Walking Dead TV series, which I consider the gold standard for post-apocalyptic zombie fiction. Course the timeframe of this story is more post-post-apocalypse, but hey, go figure.

Resistance
''Darkness is coming. If I close my eyes, I can almost feel it. It swept through Europe from the east. It left no country untouched. It left no army intact. It left nothing. No surviours. No refugees. No bodies. Initially, I heard they call it the Deathless Plague. An invincible wave that no bullet could stop. The Russians called it the Angry Night. We just know it as the Chimera. And it's on the other side of these walls as I speak. London's burning. The Chimera will soon be upon us. I've ordered my men to save one bullet each, because I've seen what happens. I've seen what they do. And I know what it meens for us. Don't stop fighting. Don't let them take you alive. Because some things are worse than death.

The Spark of Life

This is very much a story tailored to fit a setting, rather than a story inspired by a setting. Specifically it's a terraforming-centric story, dealing with its ethics...or at least dealing with them as far as an amateur writer such as myself can hope to address them. In regards to the Section 8 setting as a whole, it's set during early colonization efforts&mdash;after the disapearence of the Spear, but before the establishment of terraforming success stories such as New Madrid. Roughly a century before the events of the games.

By way of development, while writing this, I decided to add a prologue and epilogue to the story. The ending of the main story is left ambiguous, but imagining how I would write it, I felt it would leave readers feeling a bit short-changed, not to mention that it would really just cut out. Hence, a prologue and epilogue were added to bring the story full circle and provide more closure.

Multi-chaptered Stories
Friendship

Friendship, or Origins as it was once known was a story that I feel was doomed from the start. Dealing with the first meeting between Sonic and Kintobor (as per the Fleetaway continuity), I tried to set it up as part of a multiverse approach. However, looking ahead as towards said multiverse, I realised that the concept couldn't work effectively. I've since resigned myself to writing for the various different STH universes as opposed to meshing them together.

In the process, Origins was deleted. However, I'm not really one for leaving fics to rot, and thus decided to re-post the story. It ends where I left off, but can potentially stand alone. Everyone knows the story of Sonic and Kintobor, so they're not really missing out on anything. If I write the intended other three chapters in the future, it'll probably be as a seperate fic.

This course of action also prompted a title change, as it's no longer really a full story of the origin of Sonic. The title, while cliche, is representative of the themes I intended on representing. The Archie comic series has often dealt with the issue of racism and I designed this to follow suit.

Note that a sequal of sorts exists in Jungle of Shadow.

Jungle of Shadow

This was the last story (adapted from The Minpins by Roald Dahl, believe it or not), I fully outlined under the auspecies of a multiverse approach to the STH series and of all of them, perhaps the easiest to write. The content however, was another matter, featuring...well, something that doesn't really conform to any STH universe to be honest, apart from the game series, yet has a context more in keeping with the Archiveverse, Sonic SatAM or Sonic Underground. As such, I was stuck as to how to convert it into a single universe setting and even transposed it into a Diablo story (actually two Jungle of Shadow stories as a result). An Archieverse setting seemed the most likely at first, but made the psychological aspect difficult. In the end, the story as it currently stands stems from Friendship to an extent, though skips the intermitant stories that used to exist (e.g. Transgression). It loosely ties into the Segaverse, though features zone jumping, as Friendship was written under the multiverse approach. Suffice to say it forms a random reality of its own.

Note that I originally intended to include the original outline as a bonus chapter, but the final result was closer to the original conception than I expected. As such, it would be too similar to post.

Chaos Control Freaks

The title probably gives it away, but yes, this is a novelization of the first episode of Sonic X. Not part of some overall effort, but simply a stand-alone story adaptation. However, it is probably worth mentioning that it is just that-an adaptation. Although the benefit of novelizations is the ability to flesh out aspects of a pre-existing story, this one is pretty direct. I felt that having too much stuff before the episode would reduce the impact of being transported to Earth and that focussing on too much on material outside Sonic and his initial arrival (e.g. the impressions of the other characters) would be counterproductive in depicting the psychological effect of such an arrival.

Also had a bit of an adventure of my own during the writing of it, namely the character of Hector Dragg from the comic series. It's a technique I appreciate, how the comics took a nameless character from episode 1 (effectively Sam's second-in-command of the S-Team) and gave him a personality. Problem was, I initially thought he was one of the pit crew, given similarities of appearance. The driver was originally an OC named Jackson. Luckily I realized this in time while writing it and changed characters and personalities around, how the driver, now Hector as he always was, was someone I could really cut loose with, showing the early stages of the sociopath he'd become. Worked for the best IMO, even if it might have been a bit 'too extreme.' To that I say, 4Kids, you have a lot to answer for...

The Last Guardian

I'm not sure why I decided to do this story, said story formerly being titled as Mystic Isle. The original 'idea' consisted of a simple note in old story ideas, one consisting of "Mystic Isle-adaptation of STH3 multiplayer." Somehow, my younger self expected me to make a story out of that. Well, not backing down from a challange, I did make a story out of it, albiet not an intricate one. Cutting Sonic and Tails out of the story, leaving only Knuckles and an OC as the major characters, I didn't do much with what I had to work with. Still, I'm generally satisfied, even more so since I discovered the original plot after I finished the basic stages of this one.

As things turn out, I did decide to make an adaptation of the multiplayer in my early writing days, coming across the original outline. Suffice to say, it's pretty poor and basic, enough to convince me that sticking with the new plot is the best course of action. If I get to posting this story, I'll probably include the original outline as a bonus chapter to be laughed at. By way of clarification, the story takes place not long after the events of Sonic 3 and Knuckles and in a sense, can be considered to be an interquel between those games and Knuckles's Chaotix.

For what it's worth, this story has highlighted the difficulties in single-character writing, which would apply for pretty much any 2D platform game of the 8 and 16bit eras. With other stories, I've at least had one character for Sonic to bounce words off, such as Flicky and Abaddon. Here however, it's Knuckles doing what he did best prior to Sonic Adventure 2-be a lone wolf. Certainly adds a new dimension in regards to trying to keep it fresh and keeping the angst at a reasonable level.

Yes, I'm looking at you, Shadow...

Heads or Tails

As the title suggests, this is a novelization of the pilot episode of SatAM. Um...yeah, that about covers it. Guess it's worth noting though in the realm of additions/alterations that Bomber 1 is an actual character in this story.

Transgression

This followed on from the events of Of Rodents and Rings and despite being fully outlined, was cancelled also. It also shared the same problems in regards to being posted, how it was under a multiverse format. Still, I settled on making it an Archieverse story, set not long after Mobotropolis's fall, with Sonic and Chuck on South Island. There's some elements from other 'verses, such as Flicky and the story being set on South Island, but nothing mutually exclusive. What also isn't mutually exclusive in my mind is ''Oh No-Robo! No-Mo Mobo!''. No, that isn't a tongue twister, but rather the second story of the very first issue of the Archie comics series, later copied by Teitelbaum for the Troll Associates novel series. Although the early story of Sonic meeting Sally after Robotnik took over after helping Chuck and Muttski definately has had some elements retconned, I treat it as tiered canon, hence why there's some legroom for a South Island story.

The Mobius Chronicles

This is another Chronicles story, this time for background material I developed for Sonic the Hedgehog. This was during the time of my intent to take a merged universe approach to the material before I settled on seperate universes. Most of it however pertains to SatAM and/or Archie material, such as robot and vehicle types. However, it's still very much a multiple universe story, though as with the rest of the Chronicles stories, it's really just various oneshots bound by a common theme.

Projected Length: 18 chapters

Status: Ready to be written

Of Rodents and Rings

This was originally intended to be a sequel to Origins. However, after my abandonment of a multiverse approach to the STH franchise, this story had to be put on the backburner, despite being fully outlined. Spent quite some time there as well, as the plot relied on numerous multiverse aspects and no single 'verse could accomadate them all without drastic changes to the plot. However, I've since settled on an Archiverse setting, set during the Great War. Might tie in with Transgression. I does however, lead directly into Water Rats plotwise.

Effectively it's up to stage 5 of drafting, with me simply having to transpose the stages into a new paradigm. Hence why it's on the drafting list. However, because of the time that will take, it's quite low on the list.

Projected Length: A prologue, 5 chapters and an epilogue

Status: Up to stage 5 of drafting effectively, but copying of material needs to be done.

Water Rats

Basically a similar story in terms of origin as Transgression and Water Rats. Same multiverse approach, only I never got round to finishing the draft. Well, I have now, and it's in that continuity...unfortunately. Suffice to say, can't say I'm too impressed with what I dragged up back in the day. Still, may as well tell the story.

Projected Length: A prologue, 5 chapters and an epilogue

The Birds and the Bandicoots

This is a story set in the context of Sonic Boom, happening just after the events of Fire in a Crowded Workshop. The context of Perci and Zooey vying for Tails's affections...sort of. More like Perci having some fun at Tails's expense.

Projected Length: 8 chapters

Status: Outline complete, ready to be written

Fire in a Crowded Workshop

Spinning off from my work on The Birds and the Bandicoots, this is a novelization of the actual episode. And...yeah. That's really all there is to say. Something to note is that the section divisions of chapters are often estimates, as while the story is outlined, I gave myself a lot of latitude in regards to how to pace the chapters, specifically in regards to alternating between the past and present.

Multi-chaptered Stories
Loomings

This is a novelization of the Precursor campaign released as a bonus on the Warcraft III demo disc and later made avaliable for download on battle.net. Probably one of the easier novelizations I've done in a sense, considering that the campaign allowed a clear path to follow and allow me to fill in the areas in-between. All five missions are covered, but not without intervals in-between. Despite being the first multi-chaptered StarCraft fic I posted on this site, it's taken a long period of time to progress through it, partly due to my decision to reboot the story. It remains the same overall, but with minor corrections to the lore as per the release of new information and hopefully, less like a history essay at times.

Of course, history is often revised and this story is no exception, with many elements of this story rendered incorrect by canon material. For starters, my portrayal of Cerberus Recon Squad as a squadron rather than part of a greater Cerberus Program was rendered inaccurate by the comic series. Already some of this has occurred as per my portraying of adjutants as software rather than hardware. Also, it established that the zerg were named as such months beforehand, while depicted them as being named within the story. Also, Los Andares was depicted in the story as being defended by militia, while the comic establishes that Los Andares Security was responsible. Still, I wouldn't say that the story suffers too much from these inaccuracies.

Operation: Claws

A novelization of the battle.net mission of the same name. Yes, that mission, the one where you have to save Christmas from the Zergrinch.

Despite its background, the fic is serious, or at least as serious as such a mission allows. Short, but when all one has to work with is a single briefing and a mission dominated by a Defiler seeking chocolate chip cookies, that's perhaps to be expected. It was intended to tie in with the storyline of StarCraft Adventures also, along with filling a certain plot hole concerning a certain terran player character from Rebel Yell...

These were my intentions at least. However, elements of the story, or at least the ending, have been rendered slightly errenous by the StarCraft comic. Keeping in mind that this was before Adventures was de-canonized, my previous interpretation of Raynor's association with the Alliance was that it was permenant until he grew tired of the fight against the zerg and returned to lead the Raiders. However, going by the comic, it appears his allegiances were far more flexible and thus unlikely to make a static affiliation with the Alliance (keeping to an inclusionistic stance here). Another thing that can't be addressed easily is the mention of Swann in the story, his membership coming well before it canonically should. Note that the dates in the story are also errornous as per the timeline retcons in Heaven's Devils, but it isn't too drastic.

Something else to note is the nature of omissions. The protoss bandits were cut out intentionally, as I couldn't see them fitting in context. The absence of the adjutant "Santa's Helper" and Mrs Claus however, is something I forgot outright to include. Not exactly a breach of canon, but one that's a bit embarassing, all things considered. But hey, considering the nature of this novelization, maybe embarassment is what one can expect. ;) At least in the case of Santa's wife, I could potentially make the argument that Twelve Days of StarCraft takes place after the story's events. Another error is that I used a 24 hour standard in the story rather than the Koprulu sector's 27 hour standard. Oops.

This story was to recieve a sequel in the form of Inner Fire, but I ended up canceling it. That sequel may still materialize however.

Shadow Blade

There's a long story behind this fic...and all for one that's four chapters :)

Anyway, the story actually has its origins in a Halo story I did, Diary of a Forerunner. I ended up taking it down though. Firstly the writing was too poor for my liking. Secondly, it had been based on the supposedly leaked Halo 3 script, which turned out to be a fake. Still, even after all was said and done, the original conception remained in my mind. As such, I decided to apply it to StarCraft.

I've mentioned this fic a few times before, back when it was titled Spectre. As the title suggested, it was to do with the Spectres, the storyline based on Project Shadow Blade. In the end however, although I'd finished the outline, I had to put it on the backburner, as Firstborn screwed up the timeline I envisioned. As such, I had to go back to the drawing board. Firstly, I had to adjust the time frame. Secondly, I had to adjust the characters. I'd originally intended to have Kelerchian feature, but for other reasons (more on that later) I had to take him out. I also toyed with the idea of including Valerian in as well, but gave up on that as well.

In the end, I managed to make the corrections, finishing them on the same day that Spectres was announced. Given that Kelerchian is set to feature, I decided to replace him, not wanting to conflict with canon. Secondly, I ended up changing the title. However, the story was still rendered null by canon, a process begun in BlizzCon 2008 with the lore information released, with the KMC-Confederacy prisoner exchange occurring in 2491 and thus rendering Johnny's age in the series likely invalid (these dates were further altered in the Heaven's Devils timeline, casting further ambiguity). In hindsight, it would have probably been better to use Colin Phash IMO, bar an OC. Already some of it has been rendered null to an extent as Homecoming confirmed that "Johnny" was a nickname and that his formal name is John Raynor. As such, Warfield would have referred to him as such. And speaking of Warfield himself, my take on his personality was probably as OOC as possible, given his persona in Wings of Liberty.

So yeah. Don't except any links to this story.

Requiem

Put simply, this story began in a world of pain. Put less simply, but with more clarity, this story originated when I was in Hawaii, trying to get to sleep with a splitting headache. It must have screwed up my brain pretty bad since before I knew it, I was seeing and hearing things that weren't part of reality. I won't go into the details, but suffice to say, it was a weird mix of the Firefly and Predator series, one group of people trying to cut open my mind, the other trying to do...other things. I just let it go by, eventually falling asleep and waking up feeling like crap. Still, it was an interesting experience.

Despite the weird origins (not all of which were used), the story itself is sensical, acting as a fanon prequel to the DLC mission Deception, leading straight into it. To be fair however, I also took a bit of inspiration from the movie Alien: Resurrection, as feverish delusions due to tropical heat can only take you so far. :)

Projected Length: A prologue, ten chapters and an epilogue

The New Order

The title probably gives much of it away, but the story is centered on...well, a new order, namely that of the establishment of the Terran Dominion. In practical terms, the story acts as an interquel between Rebel Yell/Liberty's Crusade and Overmind/Queen of Blades. It's mainly QoB that provided the inspiration however, the story depicting Raynor's attack on the Dylarian Shipyards as was mentioned in the novel amongst other things, namely the events leading up to the declaration of the Dominion and the Raiders' early actions.

In a sense, the story can be considered a prequel to Operation: Claws. When I started writing said fic, much of TNO had been plotted out, establishing the actions of Granger (the player character of Rebel Yell having been given a name and personality). As such, many of the events mentioned concerning Granger and Raynor in O: C actually take place in this one. However, the story is primarily based on canon events so the two stories can be read independently. Perhaps that's just as well continuing O: C's slightly errenous ending in regards to canon.

A bit of error exists in this story as per the absolute date given by Raynor, as it was written before the Fall of Tarsonis was retconned to being in February via the comic series. Still, it's not that relevant to the story, so no biggie.

Legacy

In a sense, this is a prequel to a prequel. To clarify that statement, this is a fanon prelude to the events of the Dark Templar Saga novel series, which in turn leads into StarCraft II. Hardly as ground-shatterring, but it portrays my take on issues such as Dahl going from solo from Stewart, Valerian's role in the Dominion's chain of command, the emergence of the xel'naga temples, etc.

The drawback in all this however, is that the plot relied heavily on that of the game Perfect Dark Zero-more heavily than I'd like to be honest. Perhaps fittingly, it was the plot itself that snagged the development of the story, as I'd outlined that it was in the story that Dahl would meet her teammates that apppear in the DTS. However, while scrounging up information for the StarCraft Wiki, I came across the line that mentions that she handpicked them. A small difference perhaps, but a crucial one in the context of the story. I managed to fix things up a bit, along with dates, but it did have a stint in the graveyard section. Also had to make some alterations based on the timeline retcons in Heaven's Devils.

Downfall

This story is something of an amalgamation of a dream of amalgamations. To be specific, it was taken from one I had that blended elements of the movies Alien, Starship Troopers: Marauder and Dead Space: Downfall. Yes, I took the title of the third source, but this isn't an adaptation. At the time of writing, I only had the trailer to go on, finishing the early stages of drafting before even the game was released. So no, I don't intend to insert necromorphs into the StarCraft universe, nor xenomorphs or Arachnids either. That being said however, the story does insert things, and that's linking stories. It acts as something of a fanon prequel to the events of Hybrid, taking place not long after the events of StarCraft Adventures. I'd originally set the story as being in 2503, but due to the timeline retcon in Heaven's Devils, this was changed to 2502. That said, as it's set before Hybrid, things are iffy given this timeframe given that Zagara (and presumably other broodmothers) were active by 2501, so it makes me wonder whether Kerrigan's cerebrate would still be around.

As a minor note, I increased its length during writing, in order to give more time for character development and time for events to sink in. However, as I wrote, I took out a great amount of material and increased the level of ambiguity for character motivations and whatnot, in order to keep the level of mystery up. However, I’ve saved the cut material, and am considering doing a sidequel to the story so that it doesn’t go to waste. Story also taught me importance of character lists, as in, outside original drafting. Much better to keep track of minor characters on paper rather than just in my head.

The content of the story itself is another matter however. A frigate features extensively, but this was under the assumption that terran frigates were referenced in the song Terran Up the Night. However, turns out the line is "frigging laser beams" rather than "frigate laser beams," hence removing my mandate in a sense for putting a frigate in the StarCraft universe apart from the Valkyrie's "missile frigate" designation. While I'm sure terrans actually do use frigates, my basis for this isn't as strong as it once was, though Devils' Due might give some leeway based on interpretation. Either way, I've remained with the frigate as the small crew involved is best suited for the fic's storyline.

In addition, the revelation that Izsha was formerly Amanda Haley threw a potential spanner in the works, but as this idea was dropped, it became a moot point. Additionally did a 180 on the characterization of one of the characters as I began writing - hopefully it worked out for the better.

As a final note, this story has a lot of similarities with Chasing Icarus, a Halo story. Not intentional, but upon reflection...yeah. So, something to keep in mind.

Guild Wars

In a sense, this was an adaptation of an adaptation. The story was based on the novel Letters from the Coffin Trenches, an account of the ANZAC Wellington Battallion at Gallipoli in WWI. The story, although fictional, is based on actual soldier's letters.

Anyway, as the title suggests, the story was set during the Guild Wars between the Confederacy and Kel-Morian Combine. However, I was dubious of its viability from the outset. Firstly, I was uneasy about writing an adaptation of an adaptation. Secondly, there were the technological disparities to deal with in transferring the original story. With the original story taking place mainly in 1915 and my own taking place mainly in 2485, it's to be expected that technological discrepencies would arise. And they did. Many of them. I also feel that the characters need more development. Still, I've decided to put the story back on the drafting order and hope for the best.

Rebel Yell

As the chapter suggests, this is a novelization of the terran campaign from the original game. And as the concept of such a novelization suggests, it may raise the question of why I'm novelizing it at all in light of Liberty's Crusade. All in all, I see a mandate for both Liberty's Crusade and this to exist side by side. LC and Queen of Blades are, in my mind, effectively side-stories to Rebel Yell and Overmind rather than being full novelizations of them and given novel page limits, are probably all the better for it. Rebel Yell in this case is more of a re-telling of the game's story. There's overlap with LC, with the same events occuring, but from different POVs and the like. Also some overlap exists with Stellar Forces, but I'd rather those events be told via their own novelization were I to do such a thing.

Another thing to consider was Flashpoint. The problem with the novel in regards to this story that it showed new events rather than just going over old ones as Liberty's Crusade did. And unlike Stellar Forces, where Raynor and Kerrigan have a marginal presence, they're very much part of the flashback scenes in the novel. Hence, I had to plan new chapters for this story to cover not only those events, but give the zerg and protoss something to do in the meantime. Worked out, but the projected length greatly increased.

Ghost Child

This stemmed from a request to a story focussing on John Raynor. While I've since ceased to take story requests, I nonetheless managed to get it to stage 5 of drafting. And as per the request, it does indeed focus on John, over the course of his Ghost training. A bit of a risk in regards to canon, but I'm willing to take it&mdash;whether an actual Ghost or if he actually did die in a shuttle crash, I think John is effectively dead in the series. He doesn't need to be brought back and Colin Phash has effectively taken over his paradigm. Still, I'm willing to tell his story-at least Devils's Due validated some of the gambles I took. What may not be validated though is the telling of such a story in the first place, considering that Metzen has expressed interest in telling John's story at a later date.

Projected Length: A prologue, 12 chapters and an epilogue

The Koprulu Chronicles

One of the Chronicles stories and by far the most extensive. I think I kind of lost myself here and to be frank, some of the ideas I came up for StarCraft weapons and tech should never have been concieved in the first place. But hey, I can lampoon them in the story itself. However, "story" might be too generous a term, as like the others, this is very much just a collection of oneshots.

Minor note in that Creep may have beaten me to a story idea (at least in regards to publishing it) in regards to the idea of intelligent creep, but no biggie-it's only a chapter's worth.

Projected Length: 26 chapters

Terran Up the Night

This is basically me applying lyrics to the songs of Level 800 Elite Tauren Chieftain, as advertised in Wings of Liberty. Obviously some already exist (e.g. the song itself) but many are without them, and others would need tailoring also, namely those of Warcraft origins.

Projected Length: 14 chapters

Status: Ready to be written

Ghosts and Shadows

Simple story really. Focussed on Liddy grieving for John, and letting her own health deteriorate in the process. Kind of a first for me in that it's one of the first stories, if not the first that has a distinct supernatural aspect to it.

Length: 3 chapters

Status: Complete

Stewardship

This stemmed from Inner Fire, a sequel to Operation: Claws. This is covered in its own entry in the graveyard section, but this stems from the angle of protoss acting as safeguards, the original role the kaldorei would play in regards to the protoss bandits. This takes place between Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void, with Selendis as the main protagonist, trying to uphold the Dae'Uhl despite the Daelaam's weakened state. My original idea was to set it before the events of the original StarCraft, but this slipped by the wayside as soon as I started working on it. Some scenes with the Hierarchy were cut, as I wanted to keep a more narrow character focus. However, towards the end I found myself greatly expanding on the events. Kind of a bit bloated, but hopefully still works.

Of note, it's also an exercise in culture building, as the protoss deal with two original races, one of them inspired by the old "space vampire" concept. Very tropy admittedly, but hopefully it works.

Quite a simple story, and one with very little reference to the game itself. Considering its lack of lore/background, this wasn't hard. Anyway, set well before the events of the game, focussing on a terraforming operation on Venus and the poor conditions on Earth. Was the focus of a writing course I was part of and hence, it's designed to be able to stand on its own. Bit of a different technique used in that I had one POV/section per chapter, which goes against my norm. Still, most people seem to prefer this.

Mirror

An adaptation of a dream I had, one that involved my street, my old secondary school, T.J. and orange-skinned aliens in jeeps. Yeah...no idea where that came from. Anyway, ended up making a story out of it, setting it between the events of Space and Faith. Kind of falls on "a mirror darkly" concept, but I wouldn't say that portrayal of either species is negative. And if it is, you can blame the part of my mind reserved for wackiness.

Admittedly some of the story's concept has been rendered iffy by Awakening and Resurgence, in regards to the nature of first contact. Still, it's not too major. And no, it has nothing to do with the Stargate "mirror universe," nor the novel Mirror Mirror.

The Lost World

An adaptation of a dream material, that was later turned into an adaptation of an adaptation of a novel...no, that's not a poor attempt at a tongue twister. What it is, actually, is me explaining that this was adapted from a dream featuring SG-1, Nyan, humans evolved from lizards that still exist as an ancestral species (go figure) and their refusal that anything can travel through the stargate. Somehow, that didn't cut it. Still, given the key element of the story (the notion of two species living in the same area, with one being the direct ancestor to the other) reminded me of The Lost World, or rather the TV adaptation of it. So while it's effectively an adaption, I've at least included some original elements.

Timeline-wise, the story is set between seasons 5 and 6 of SG-1, with the team looking for a replacement for Daniel.

An adaption of a dream I had-a short one, and a short story as a result. Basically involved SG-1 (which was named SG-14 for some reason) taking part in a firefight near a warehouse in what looked like the Outback. Yeah...no idea where that came from. Either way, turned it into a story, focussing on a hunt for one of the last Ba'al clones. And yes, the SG-14 angle, the warehouse and location worked their way into the story as well. Go figure.

Multi-chaptered Stories
Contact

Let's face it, the original series of Star Trek had false advertising. The Enterprise was to "seek out new life and new civilizations." With that being said, I feel the first season hardly lives up to that, as of the episodes present, it isn't that often that the Enterprise comes across actual civilizations and even when it does, often the civilizations are so advanced (e.g. the organians and metrons) that the notion of the Federation making contact is pretty much laughable. Luckily the second season rectifies this a bit.

So why do I bring this up? Simply put, as the title suggests, this is a first contact-based story, set during the Enterprise's (NCC-1701 version) original five year voyage. The core of this was based on a challenge of creating one's own alien race. In this case, it's effectively a new race for each chapter, with Star Trek being the type of sci-fi setting that one can mention/depict a new race and have no-one blink an eye. And for the record, I would have called it First Contact, but Paramount beat me to it. Also note that while there's an in-universe precedent for Milky Way species being humanoid, along with further setting them apart from their Andromedan counterparts, I aim for these aliens to be quite...well, alien.

Minor note in that this is based on a world-building guide I recieved from a sci-fi/fantasy creative writing course. Follows its form.

The Price of Freedom

This is a story that stems from dream adaptation material. A dream that involved Yoda (Star Wars) being spaced from what looked like a cross between the Death Star (Star Wars) and The Sprawl (Dead Space) while Riker (Star Trek) watched on. And...that was it. Yet from it, I was able to weave a Star Trek story focussing on the nature of freedom vs. security. Um...yay? Guess outlining a story while having my car serviced can go quite quickly. Anyway, this is set in the TNG era-loosely between seasons 2 and 3, but the series placement is academic, and only really there because at the time I was writing this, I was on the last few episodes of season 2.

Multi-chaptered Stories
Whispers of Infinitude

The Star Wars universe is big. Very big. Big enough that I've always known that if I were to write a multi-chaptered story in this universe, it would be best to start small. Well, this is it effectively-set during the war between the Sith Empire and Republic, this is an adaptation of the Warhammer 40,000 novella Accursed Eternity. Nothing major, but hey, baby steps. Minor note in that this was originally titled "Whispers of Infinity."

Something to note with this story is that there are indeed similarities with the Umbara arc of The Clone Wars, what with Kell and the troopers under his command. This fic was concieved after the arc, but for what it's worth, I didn't notice the similarities until I was well into the story. Still, I will admit that this is another point against this story's minimal originality. Also something to note is canon issues, namely into the nature of the Sith Empire's policy on slavery, as expressed in Revan. Unfortunately I don't know the full story, and Wookiepedia hasn't given info on the full details. Still, shouldn't be too much of an issue.

What is another potential issue is how I portray the Republic troopers in the story. The protagonists are indeed Republic Army grunts, yet I had them using the army of the Republic Special Forces. It was by chance that I discovered the distinction between the two during the era of The Old Republic. Still, I have kept the armour styles, as while the troopers may indeed be regular grunts, I can see them using Special Forces armour as per the story depicting an operation in space.

There's another error of sorts in this story that should be addressed, namely the hyperspace error I made. A degree of this story's plot is based around travel times, of ships being isolated. Problem is, it's set in the Outer Rim, and hyperspace isn't dependant on distance for travel time, but rather star density and the like. Minor issue, but I will admit that this was an error on my part.

Multi-chaptered Stories
Pack Animals

The original idea for this story was from a dream adaptation, one where the T-1000 was active in Christchurch, New Zealand. There were other aspects, but not nearly enough to get a story out of. Still, out of what was present, somehow it developed into essentially an AR version of Judgement Day-a combination of the original film, the dream asects and tweaks of both to make the events similar, yet different. And, you know, still in Los Angeles. Christchurch has suffered enough from earthquakes, I don't think it needs the precursor to nuclear war ;)

In regards to the title...well, I couldn't in good conscience call it "Judgement Day." Guess the idea is that both humans and Terminators work well in groups, or 'packs,' as the story demonstrates. And yes, "Terminators" is plural there for a reason...

Also for the record, I accept that the plot is similar to the one proposed for Terminator 5, and would like to reaffirm that it was developed before it. And for the record, I would like to register my frustartion at the [censored] plot that's been proposed for such a movie.

Veiled Gauntlet

This is pretty much an adaptation of an adaptation. To be more specific, it's an adaptation of the Tommy Trilogy arc of the Archie Sonic the Hedgehog series. Yes, that arc. The arc that brought Tommy back, negating his previous sacrifice that achieved an emotional impact one rarely gets from a comic. The arc that unashamedly borrowed from Terminator, with "infiltrators" and "RoboDyne Systems," the references not coming off as endearing. The arc that makes me want to terminate Chacon and Penders for coming up with such a "brilliant" idea.

Still, I'm willing to adapt it into its host universe, effectively serving as a 'merged' setting. Effectively it doesn't correspond to a mainstream timeline, borrowing aspects from numerous sources. AR rather than AU though, given how flexible Terminator canon is. For what it's worth, it underwent a bit of character cutting during writing. Originally had Kate Brewster and a T-1000 appearing, but cut them out-former had too tenuous a connection with Reese (story's main protagonist), latter seemed too advanced to appear in the respective time period (2028).

Titanfall

This serves as a prequel to Titanfall, detailing the aftermath of McAllan's hijacking of the Odyssey. It features mainly on OCs trying to trace the carrier. To be honest, I'm iffy about this story, because I ended up ditching it at some point, then returned to it years later to complete the work, and I can't remember why I stopped. Think it was to do with the lore, and I might find myself called out when it comes to write/draft it. But for now, it's got a place in the drafting order.

I see time blindly marching on, turning war machines to ashes, grinding bones to dust. Smoothing down stones rough-hewn by the speaking peoples. Covering up attrocities with blankets of green and blue. And for what? To begin the cycle of violance over again? But I see other things as well. I see men carving out a semblence of peace, and caring for the next generation, so that they should know it as well. Even as their nature might divide them. I see great cities erected as beacons of achievement. Where prosperity brings happiness. But that peace is not without its stewards.''

Multi-chaptered Stories
Denial

In my mind, the high elves occupy an interesting niche in the Warcraft universe (or at least did prior to the end of The Burning Crusade) situated between night elves and blood elves. Confrontations between the latter two are common and predictable, but the ideological differences between the quel'dorei and sin'dorei are not so often called into play. Granted, Night of the Dragon was an exception, the animosity between Veressa and Zendarin being one of the novel's few redeeming features, not to mention that the difference between the two kindreds has probably been mitigated somewhat given the restoration of the Sunwell and formation of a new Council of Tirisfal. Still, this fic was concieved before either storyline had been announced and was originally a oneshot to convey such a confrontation, but after having a flash of inspiration, I made it a multi-chaptered fic.

It is worth noting that a slight discrepency could be said to exist in regards to the character of Finnall Goldensword, who appears in the story. The issue started off simple enough, as she became a character that Metzen personally regarde as non-canon. However, with his stance akin to "existing, but not acknowledged," this suited my inclusionism. However, the RPG books have been since declared non-canon, and as a result, Finnall is effectively non-canon, having not appeared in any other media. It's not something that I'm willing to change, and as per inclusionism, not something I want to change. However, I do accept that this story has been made less viable canonically. And as usual, it's based on issues of timing I have no control over. Still, hardly the end of the world&mdash;this story is set before the Cataclysm after all. ;)

Another, perhaps more pertinent issue is Blood of the Highborne, the novella set to explore Kael'thas's decision to serve Kil'jaeden. Problem is, Denial covers this also...sort of. I'll need to wait for the novella to be released, but suffice to say, I think some of this story will be rendered null. Indeed, depending on how the canon goes, perhaps all of this story. Still, time will tell I guess. Finally, there's the timeline slip-up, how the story used the 25 year standard rather than the 20 year standard for the events of Reign of Chaos. Still, it's generally irrelevant to the story as a whole.

Minor note in that this story shares an OC character with Exodus of the Horde. Still, the two stories are easily seperate.

Length: 26 chapters and an epilogue

Providence

In a sense, it's amazing that this fic got to the point where it could reach the fifth stage of drafting. I still have the original notes, but I can't really recall how, when and why I chose to concieve this story, one that was simply meant to be a novelization and expansion of The Burning Crusade site short story Stealing the Light, where the origin of the Blood Knights are given. Over time, I expanded the scope in that in addition to dealing with said origin, it now also covers the formation of the Scryers, the coming of the naaru and Kael's corruption by Kil'jaeden.

When it came to determining the order of writing/drafting stories, I decided to leave this on the backburner. I'd done about half of the actual outline, but without a chapter list. And the revelations presented in the patch Fury of the Sunwell prompted me to change the storyline a little (no, I'm not saying how).

Anyway, that pretty much covers it. Also, it can be considered to be a prequel to Denial to a sense in that a few of the fanon characters make appearances and the events mentioned in Denial are expanded on. However, it's not a prequel in the true sense in that it's based on canon events established in Warcraft lore and doesn't have any major impact on Denial's storyline. Both stories can be read independently.

Another, perhaps more pertinent issue is Blood of the Highborne, the novella set to explore Kael'thas's decision to serve Kil'jaeden. Problem is, Providence covers this also...sort of. I'll need to wait for the novella to be released, but suffice to say, I think some of this story will be rendered null. Indeed, depending on how the canon goes, perhaps all Still, time will tell I guess.

Reign of Chaos: Exodus of the Horde

The title probably gives it away, but yes, this is a novelization of the orc prequel campaign of Reign of Chaos. No, this isn't part of an overall attempt to novelize the game (unlike my first attempt-see the graveyard section), but I feel that it's expansive enough that if the game were to be novelized, each campaign should have its own entry. The story also serves another function for me personally in that I get to work with the Horde. This serves as a good counterpart to Denial in that, while it isn't exactly Alliance-centric but rather a group facing the Illidari (or rather running from it), the Horde is a non-existant entity. Thus, it gives me good experience in writing for the opposite faction.

A bit of an issue presented itself Stormrage, which revealed that unlike what Thrall's black wolf in Reign of Chaos might suggest, Snowsong is still alive (actually appears in The Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King too, but this was subjective). My original take was that Snowsong had been killed prior to the Horde's journey to Kalimdor and Thrall achieved a new black wolf in the meantime. While potentially a simple change, a significant portion of Thrall's personality in this story was based arround the supposed loss, hence prompting significant revision. Still, I managed to sort it out. What was much harder to sort out was material given in The Judgement. Originally, I'd had Vol'jin with Thrall from the outset, standing in for a troll headhunter (similar unit representations exist in regards to units and canon characters BTW) and developing comraderie in the field. However, as revealed in TJ, Zul'jin only returned to the island with Zelazane during the evacuation. Nice homecoming present, finding your father dead and your island on the verge of destruction.

As such, I had to replace the original Vol'jin with an OC, re-develop his character, make Zelazane a character as well and make more notes. Also required a revision of the outline, hence why this had a stint back in the drafting section. Still, now it's dealt with and ready to be written again...provided that new canon doesn't prompt a similar revision.

Had a similar hiccup with the Sea Withch&mdash;turns out her real name is Zar'jira, and she's a bona fide naga. Yes, this was revealed in Cataclysm, though I didn't realize this until much later. Still, it was an easy correction to make.

Minor note in that it shares an OC character with Denial. Still, the two stories are easily seperate.

Bones of Ironforge

The bulk of the draft for this fic was done while my computer was currently unavaliable to me. I still had my laptop though, on which was stored the PDF for the Warcraft RPG supplement, Bones of Ironforge. As the title suggests, this a novelization of said supplement, though with creative licence as an RPG entails. We know what happens in a story-based RPG, but how it happens is up to the player. It's the latter that I intend to tell in addition to the former.

Admittedly this is me telling a non-canon story, as per Blizzard declaring the RPG books non-canon mostly. Still, fanfiction is essentially non-canon, so hey, nothing's changed. Guess it gives me further leeway with the characters I guess.

The Azeroth Chronicles

This is another of the Chronicles stories, where lore I developed for the sake of it is put into narrative form. However, this set is a bit different from the others, for while they primarily focussed on aspects such as technology and culture, this was mainly based around characters. Namely player characters, as to what characters I'd use to represent the 'de facto' characters for World of Warcraft and the early RTS games before I abandoned the approach (bar Ardelan, who was based on my conception of the 'canon' draenei player character). As such, there's more focus on characters here and as a result, there's more of a cohesive narrative here, effectively giving snapshots of their lives over time. And a McGuffin that connects them as well...

Warhammer: Age of Sigmar
''The World Before Time is gone. Shattered. Consigned to an oblivion no-one thought possible. The metallic core of that ill-fated world was hurled through the cosmos, the God-King Sigmar clinging desperately to its sigmarite surface. Aeons passed, until the core caught the attention of the great drake Dracothion; it was he who rescued Sigmar, and taught him the secrets of the Mortal Realms - connected by Realmgates and peacefully populated for many years. But even in this utopia, Chaos would find a way to corrupt and distort everything. The Age Of Chaos gradually turned life in the realms into hell. Embracing wisdom instead of strength, Sigmar retreated to the Celestial Realm and began assembling the greatest mortal warriors, steeping them in the magic of the stars and instilling them with absolute divinity. The Stormcast Eternals, as Sigmar named them, are ready. Sigmar’s storm is lined up to unleash its fury on the forces of chaos. The realms will tremble and the skies will scorch as the legions of the Dark Gods feel the blistering rage of the Stormhosts.

The Age Of Sigmar has arrived.''

Another meme based story, this one based on the sci-fi meme of space travel that (gasp) doesn't utilize faster-than-light means of propulsion. Or, in W40K's case, the Ohnyl cylinders that humanity used for generations-long space travel before the development of the warp drive, and consequent beginning of the Golden/Dark Age of Technology.

This was a short story I began working on as part of a Black Library competition called "Fear the Alien." In essence, it was the Warhammer 40,000 counterpart to "Death and Dishonour," which resulted in Shroud of Chaos. However, I never completed it in time, and it wasn't until 2015 that I went back to it and added the final touches. Anyway, deals with an Imperial world preparing for a Dark Eldar invasion.

Far as writing goes, had to narrow things down a bit, including more character focus and development, along with the development of new characters not present in the original outline. Per feedback from the writing group I'm part of, elements of the story were rewritten to include more action.

Starfall

A few things to point out. Firstly, the story is not named after the planet Starfall and/or related to the events of The Ressurection Casket, the novel in which said planet appears. As much as I enjoyed the novel the storyline here is unrelated. So no, Kevin the Monster won't show up. :(

The title aside, which came to me in a bout of inspiration, is based on the concept of the storyline, said storyline being loosely based on Tintin and the Shooting Star, at least vaguely. Some similarities, some differences, but I feel it's original enough to be able to post. I think the main aspect is that the storyline is much darker. Not excessively so, but enough for me to use the Ninth Doctor instead of the Tenth, with no Jack to offset his character. Interpret this as you will.

Storm

This story originally started out as a oneshot, based on the audio prompt of a storm (literally just a VLC audio file of a storm going on. Due to the nature of the story however (alternating POVs) and its projected length, I reasoned it would be better to write it as a short story rather than a oneshot. So concerning the actual story itself, it focuses on Buck as the protagonist, the events set between the landing on Nexus and the events of the game itself. Also deals with another Exile character...sort of. But hey, that would be telling.

What's easier to provide info on is the story's timeframe. Specifically, it's set a few years before the events of the game&mdash;after the discovery of Nexus, but before the conflict between the Exiles and Dominion truly heats up.

Of note is that I stuffed up a bit with Buck's ammo, in that this was written before it was revealed that spellsingers used the Void for ammo. Here, it was depicted as physical rounds. Maybe he's using an outdated gun or something.

Multi-chaptered Stories
Panspermia

First, some background, namely how this started off as a Starship Troopers story:

Ever notice how aliens are usually the agressors in science fiction when it comes to tension/conflict? And when it comes to this familiar scenario, ever notice how the alien invasion is usually for a basic reason such as conquest? Well, assuming you have, it's probably fair to say that Starship Troopers is, for the most part, not an exception. The novel is the worst offender, since the Arachnids are basically cannon fodder-stand-ins for communism and Heinlein's views on it, all the while fleshing out aspects of the Federation (although it felt rather shallow really). And in Roughneck Chronicles, the Arachnids are once again the enemy. The films however, despite the book fans despising them, at least give a sense of moral ambiguity with neither side the 'good guys'/bad guys' and the Arachnids have a reason for their aggression apart from just victory (or maybe Shepherd was being creepy for the sake of it. Whatever).

Anyway, given the background, I chose the films to be the universe in which to convey a take on First Contact, though at the basic level the story is an adaptation of the film Red Planet. Not really a war story but rather one of simple survival-after all, if you're not expecting giant insects upon reaching a planet, you're not going to bring the technology required for dealing with them are you? And even if you did, MORITAs are pretty useless anyway.

At least...that was the plan. Problem is, it was concieved before I learnt that the origins of the conflict (as in, first contact) were covered in the tabletop RPG books, and suffice to say, it didn't happen the way I intended to describe it. As such, this story has been canceled. Still, I plan to convert the material to an Aliens story, as I found its 'verse the easiest to convert the drafted material to.

Projected Length: 9 chapters

Status: Effectively up to stage 5 of drafting, material needs to be converted

The New Black Gold

This was adapted from a dream, said dream essentially being a retelling of Prometheus, albeit with differences I'd rather not get into. Under normal circumstances, if I chose this dream to be a basis for a fic, that story would simply be a novelization of the film itself. Due to my need for a short story, and with the DVD of the film having yet to be released at the time the story was conceived, I decided to make the dream the basis for its own story. Or at least that was the plan. The short story became a multi-chaptered story. A short multi-chaptered and very unoriginal story admittedly, but at least longer than I originally intended.

Also a story that was rendered moot by Covenant, if not earlier. The initial idea was that the accelerant in Prometheus was a lifeform of its own, one that the Engineers found and appropriated. Clearly that isn't the case, and even in Prometheus itself, that the accelerant was created by the Engineers is pretty heavily hinted at. That said, the story can still exist if the black liquid here is treated separately from the accelerant, but it does mean that the story is even more tangental to the Xenopedia setting.

''"Real life is messy. We all have limitations. We all make mistakes. Which means―hey, glass half full!―we all have a lot in common.

So no matter what type of animal you are, from the biggest elephant to our first fox, I implore you: Try. Try to make the world a better place.

Multi-chaptered Stories
Hollow Wish (Fallen Frontier)

A short story, using the technique of taking a single image for inspiration (similar to Pagan). Said image is here, and depicts a mining operation on the moon, well prior to the events of the game, when colonization of Alpha Centauri is in its early stages.

While writing this, I ended up adding another chapter, partly through extending separating the original plot between chapters. Found I needed more time/room for characterization. Unfortunately stuffed up on some orbital mechanics. Also, there's an issue with this story that I suspected might be an issue, and a common theme in the writing group I'm part of is that there is&mdash;there's too much angst and introspection, with the group liking the supporting characters more than the main character. Not a good sign. :( On the other hand, some asked for a sequel (unlikely), and suggested that the conversation between Chia and Burlan in the last chapter should be between Phoebe and Chia instead, making quite a good case forfeit. Admittedly the sequel suggestions have merit (something going wrong on the trip to Alpha Centauri) but I'm not counting on it.

The Dark Tower (Deep Down)

The idea for this came while I was undertaking an online narrative course, part of which involved the study of Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came. So while Stephen King beat me to the punch ages ago, I ended up developing the idea of loosely (key word being "loosely") adapting the storyline into a short story. Ended up settling on applying it to the Deep Down setting. And having since read The Gunslinger, yes, there are indeed similarities. Not that I like King's novel much, but I'm hardly going to put my work on his level.

Projected Length: 7 chapters

Status: Outline complete, ready to be written

Lords and Ladies (Lords of the Fallen)

This story was based on a challenge to write the same scene from two different POVs. I expanded the challenge to three installments, all based on the same set of events, all within the same timeframe, but with three POVs. Harkyn is one of them, the events of the story taking place before the events of the game. However, it's been rendered completely null by canon, as per Harkyn having been revealed to be a criminal, something he most assuredly isn't in this story.

Length: 3 chapters

The Waste (Sins of a Dark Age)

The idea for this came between a joke/challenge within the writing group I’m part of. One of our number had written a bare bones-type story, bereft of description. I understood it for being bare bones, but one of our number interpreted it as a statement on writing style, and gave it ‘meat.’ I joined in, partly to demonstrate how we each have our own style. True, I understood beforehand that it was a first draft and bare bones. But it did kind of take on a life of its own.

As such, I made a story out of it. It uses some of the original dialogue, but otherwise is my own creation. Set it in the context of Sins of a Dark Age, but is mostly unrelated to the game, and takes place in a desert area. OCs galore and whatnot.

Had some trouble while writing this for a variety of reasons. Firstly, there's the language style - this was set by the original excerpt, but it's a formal style I'm not fond of writing with, even in the fantasy genre. Secondly, it involves sexual content, which I'm also not fond of writing for, but the story ended up taking that direction. Thirdly, I had to alter the nature of a death of a background character, which prompted a final revision of the story.

Something I realized while writing the story is that apart from the main protagonist, there isn't a single female character. This wasn't intentional actually, but upon realizing it, I became far more at ease with it than, say, Facing the Music. Lavalu isn't in control of her circumstances, but tries to make the best of them. Least I got that feedback from a reader. Probably giving me too much credit, but hey, I'm fine with it. :)

The idea of a sequel and/or series was suggested in some feedback, using the inn as a hub of various stories. Kinda like the idea, but sequels aren't really my thing&mdash;not planned sequels at least. However, feedback from the writing group this stemmed from was almost universally negative, so I'm not counting on returning to this story.

Length: 3 chapters

The Price of Freedom (The Repopulation)

This stemmed from a writing exercise of writing a character having various values that come into conflict, and how those values dictate his/her actions. In this essence I settled on writing for The Repopulation, specifically a prequel to the game. The story narrates Obore Daniels’s experiences, beginning with the lead-up of his pro-family movement to his death. The idea is that there’s one chapter for each value. Expanded the no. of values as time went on. Given the nature of the story, also took some influence from the protests that were going on in Ukraine in 2014.

Of note is the risk of sequel bait, as while it ends with the end of Obore's story (bar the epilogue), it's not the full story of the founding of the FPR. Could do a sequel I guess, but it's not a stance I'm fond of. Well, this being fanfic, at least everyone knows how the story ends anyway.

Changed some things in the story. The first was that the Council was a collection of mnemosynes, designed with the mandate of ruling Plymouth. This was changed as per them being versions of the original colonists (which was stated outright, so the mistake was my own). Second was that of the Peacekeepers. The original idea was that they would open fire on their own without provocation, but again, this was changed to fit the canonical description. Also admittedly the idea of Civil Protection was influenced by Half-Life and the winter scenes and Obore's reactions to the temperatures were influenced by me having the flu at the time of writing them. Third was the idea of a flashback at the end as per feedback, that Obore should remember elements of Earth in his last moments. I decided to go with the idea and foreshadow it in previous chapters.

Ended up adding epigraphs in the story, mainly as a means of fleshing out the backstory. I'm a bit iffy about this, as I believe that epigraphs should mainly be used as flavour text rather than worldbuilding, but I can make an exception to my own rules I guess.

Red Planet (Space Odyssey (game))

This is set loosely in the setting of Neil DeGrasse Tyson's Space Odyssey game. "Loosely" is the key word however, as the story is mainly focused on its own content. It's basically a mix of hard sci-fi with a child following in the footsteps of his parents in a Mars exploration mission. Ties in with personal experiences in regards to family and friends. So, hopefully it'll work.

Projected Length: A prologue and 16 chapters

Series Info
This is more or less a minor notes section for certain multi-chaptered stories-how they relate to each other, reading order, etc. While such info is given in the relative sections, it can be rendered inconcise due to posting stories in order of presentation of info. As such, the info is grouped here. Sections are as follows:

Command and Conquer
Order/chronologoy is as follows:


 * Orbis Unum (2035)
 * Beneath the Eagle's Wing (2047-'48)
 * Deus Ex Machina (2034-'52)

All three stories in the Tiberian setting, but are otherwise unrelated.

Firefly
Order/chronology is as follows:


 * Seven Deadly Sins (2505-2518)
 * All the World's a Stage (2518)

The two stories are essentially unrelated, but are linked through Serenity. Seven Deadly Sins ends nearing the ending of the film, while All the World's a Stage begins straight after it.

Golden Sun
Order/chronology is as follows:


 * In the Shadow of the Sun
 * Hall of the Mountain Queen
 * The Weyard Chronicles
 * The Broken Seal: Mercury
 * The Broken Seal: Liquidus

The first two stories could actually be switched around in terms of order as they're very much stand-alones. However, Hall of the Mountain Queen is more closely related to the events of the games and as such, I've placed it as occuring later in chronology. As for The Weyard Chronicles, it arguably ties in with the other stories, but it's also stand-alone at the end of the day. Both Broken Seal stories tie into each other, forming the first two installments of a projected trilogy

Halo
Order/chronology of stories is as follows:


 * Shadows of Hope (2534)
 * Alpha (2552)
 * Unity (2552)
 * Chasing Icarus (Early war, 2554)
 * The Orion Chronicles (?)
 * Sanctuary (2557)

Only real linkage is between Shadows of Hope, Alpha and Sanctuary by virtue of them sharing a character. Despite being a multi-chaptered story, Primordial is not on this list due to too much error with canon.

The Legend of Zelda
Order/chronology is as follows, along with timeline designation:


 * Buccaneers (Timeline C)
 * Cycle of Eternity (N/A)

Neither of the two stories are related to one another, and can be read independently. Note that Cycle of Eternity stands alone, as it is effectively an AR story

The Lord of the Rings
Order/chronology is as follows:


 * Mind Over Matter (TA ?)
 * The Third Age (TA 3018–3019)

Both stories share some of the same characters, but the latter can be read without reading the former.

Mass Effect
Order/chronology is as follows:


 * Hand of Steel (2181)
 * Fist of Iron (2183)
 * For the Uniform (2183)

Fist of Iron is a sequel to Hand of Steel. For the Uniform stands on its own.

My Little Pony
Order/chronology/setting is as follows:


 * Where Griffons Go to Die (FiM)
 * Sunset's Shimmer (EQG)

Both stories can be read separately.

Path of Exile
This operates on the assumption that the game takes place in 1599 IC, in regards to the use of absolute dates. Order/chronology is as follows:


 * Pagan (1599 IC)
 * Footsteps on Dead Leaves (1599 IC)
 * On the Edge of Nightmare (1582-1599 IC)
 * Original Sin (1612-'13 IC)

Pagan, Footsteps on Dead Leaves and On the Edge of Nightmare act as class-based prequels to the events of the game and can be read independently of each other. The first two take place at round about the same point in time, while On the Edge of Nightmare takes place over 17 years, ending near the start of the game, and beginning years before it. Original Sin mostly takes place 13-14 years after Pagan, and is a sequel to it.

Resident Evil
The placing of the Resident Evil stories I've done are as follows:


 * Prototype (games, 1998)
 * Wasted Land (movies, c.2032)

Per their different settings, the two stories are unrelated.

Sonic the Hedgehog
Universes and rough order of reading are as follows:


 * Fire in a Crowded Workshop (Boomverse)
 * The Birds and the Bandicoots (Boomverse)
 * Friendship (AR)
 * Jungle of Shadow (AR)
 * ﻿﻿﻿The Last Guardian (Segaverse)
 * Chaos Control Freaks (Sonic X)
 * Of Rodents and Rings (Archieverse)
 * Transgression (Archieverse)
 * Water Rats (Archieverse)
 * Heads of Tails (SatAM)
 * The Mobius Chronicles (various)

Fire in a Crowded Workshop leads directly into The Birds and the Bandicoots. With Friendship and Jungle of Shadow, the latter serves as a sequel to the former. Of Rodents and Rings, Transgression and Water Rats effectively form a trilogy, but the second story is relatively independent of the other two.

StarCraft
Order/chronology of stories is as follows:


 * Guild Wars (2485-'86)
 * Ghosts and Shadows (2498)
 * Loomings (2499)
 * Rebel Yell (2499-2500)
 * The New Order (2500)
 * Requiem (2500)
 * Operation: Claws (2500)
 * Legacy (2502)
 * Downfall (2502)
 * The Koprulu Chronicles (2470s-2500s)
 * Ghost Child (2496-2504)
 * Terran Up the Night (2504)
 * Stewardship (2505)

Loomings leads into Rebel Yell, which leads directly into The New Order, which in turn is referenced in Operation: Claws. Still, these are all based around/novelizations of canon events and can easily be read seperately. Ghosts and Shadows is also linked to Ghost Child in terms of subject, but both can be read independently.

Note that the dates displayed are in accordance with Blizzard's revised timeline, hence some possible discrepencies with dates in the stories themselves, as per being written before the retcon. Shadow Blade isn't listed here as it's been rendered completely null by canon material.

Warhammer 40,000
Order/chronology of stories is as follows:


 * Islands in a Sea of Stars
 * Chains of Fear

Both stories are unrelated. Islands in a Sea of Stars takes place well prior to the Golden Age of Technology, whereas Chains of Fear is set at some indeterminate point after the Hours Heresy.

Stargate
Order/chronology is as follows. Note that stories are designated by series/setting as well as appropriate:


 * The Lost World (SG-1, 2002)
 * Outback Hunters (SG-1, 2008)
 * Mirror (SGU, 2009)

The three stories are unrelated and can be read independently.

Star Trek
Order/chronology is as follows, along with period setting in accordance with host series. Acronymns remain the same.


 * Contact (TOS, 2260s)
 * The Price of Freedom (TNG, 2366)

The two stories are independent of each other.

Terminator
Order/chronology is as follows:


 * Pack Animals (mainly 1995)
 * Veiled Gauntlet (2028)

The two stories exist in seperate timelines/realities and are completely independent from each other

Warcraft
Order/chronology is as follows:


 * Reign of Chaos: Exodus of the Horde (20ADP)
 * Bones of Ironforge (25ADP)
 * Providence (26ADP)
 * Denial (26ADP)
 * The Azeroth Chronicles (25,000BDP&mdash;27ADP)

Only real linkage is between Denial and Providence, with some events in the former being mentioned in the latter. However, these events are based around canon, so the stories can easily be read independently. The Azeroth Chronicles does share some characters however, but it's mostly independent.

Xenopedia
Order/chronology is as follows:


 * The New Black Gold (Early 22nd century)
 * Panspermia (22nd century)

The two fics are unrelated and can be read seperately.

The Graveyard
The "Graveyard" is a compaliton of all the fics that I've posted and/or made mention of in my profile that for one reason or another aren't set to be posted (again, in some cases). For each entry there is information on the fic, the reasons why it made it to this section and the chances of its return. Note that only multi-chaptered stories are given such treatment.

A Mirror Darkly (Warhammer Fantasy Battle)
Like Shroud of Chaos, this is another short story for the Black Library's writing competition. Two submissions were allowed, but SoC had the higher priority. As such, while I was able to finish its predecessor by the the time it became clear that I'd failed to gain entry to the second stage of the competition, this one was barely started-only around 500 words as a writing sample. Concerning this story, it pretty much dealt with the same "Death and Dishonor" theme. In this case however, it was a case of a confrontation between a high elf and dark elf.

There's nothing to stop me from writing it, but the fact remains that I had to develop it quickly and more skimpily than I usely would. Now that I know I don't have a competition deadline to work to, I can develop it more thoroughly. Still, that means it's further down in drafting stages and as such, not liable to be posted in the main stories section at this point in time, though it may not necessarily be a Warhammer story. Could be a Warcraft story instead.

Awoken (Destiny)
This started out as a oneshot, the idea of an/the Awoken having to 'awake' to the larger world. Y'know, play on words, the type of stuff most of my oneshots are based on. However, I ended up making it a multi-chaptered story. Certainly the essence remains, as in, an Awoken is exposed to the wider world and forced to mature as a result, though it goes beyond that. Action, mainly. However, I had to scrap it because my take on the lore of Destiny at the time (well before release) didn't mesh with how Guardians actually operated. I treated them as volunteers rather than being revived warriors of the Light. Since it couldn't fit, I had to scrap it

Black Wind (Sonic the Hedgehog)
In a sense, this had similar origins to that of Friendship (no pun intended) in that it's the indirect result of the former multiverse approach. However, this arose from a bunch of notes I made on the history of Cascade, the human planet which appears in Season 3 of Sonic X. Most of the history I developed is intact, though is set exclusively within that universe. Or technically universe(s), all things considered...

The outline was far more loose than what I'd otherwise go for, considering that the 'outline' consists of the notes I made, set to be converted to proper story format. I began developing the characters but realized that I needed a proper outline for the story to function. With the lack of the appropriate ammount of drafting, the story no longer met the criteria to be posted in the main fics section.

It's a story that I intend to return to someday and there's nothing to stop me from doing so. It just needs more time to be developed before being posted.

Broken Glass (Fire Emblem)
Not much to say here, apart from the fact that I remember listing this fic in my "newbie days"-you know, c. 2006, working on multiple fics at once and posting blurbs on every idea that came to mind. Anyway, all I can say is that this came from a dream involving a shattered window, was set in Elibe and involved the characters of Lyn and Kent.

...talk about stingy.

Defiance (Marathon)
Nothing too intricate and as per the fic being a series of diary entries, perhaps not even a true fic, not to mention it was based on background info for Stargate: Resistance (this was in the days of me being more willing to adapt material rather than be more original). Regardless, the content was matched up with the form, depicting the fall of the Phfor Empire as the combined human and S'pht'Kr closed in on their territory. Wouldn't say it was meant to make the reader feel sorry for the slavers, but I guess seeing events from the point of the view of the "bad guy" isn't really a bad thing. This ended up being put in the graveyard section due to the site going down, but I managed to find it again through Web Archive. However, I'm not reviving this story, as simply adapting someone's writing is...well, iffy. If I do write based on the diary entries for Resistance, it would be an actual Stargate story. I'm fine with novelizations as the source of inspiration is not ambiguous.

Diary of a Forerunner (Halo)
Diary of a Forerunner was the first, and so far only attempt that I've made at making a "carrot and stick" approach at a story. I fully wrote the story out beforehand and informed viewers that the more reviews that would have been recieved, the faster the updates. Suffice to say, it backfired spectacularly and I deleted it soon after completion. Many people who've posted on ff.net have had to deal with a lack of feedback. It's a universal issue and seeking to deal with it won't do any good.

I won't post this story on the site again&mdash;while I've provided the links to its original version below, I won't re-post it. From a canon standpoint its null, as it was based on material from the supposedly leaked Halo 3 script that turned out to be a fake. From a writing standpoint, the style formed the basis of the StarCraft story Shadow Blade. Still, I've used the conceptual basis for Primordial.


 * Part 1
 * Part 2
 * Part 3
 * Part 4
 * Part 5
 * Part 6
 * Part 7
 * Part 8

Farthest Reach (Halo)
This was quite a basic story, acting as a loose adaptation of Another World. Still, I did incorporate some material from The Cortana Letters to add to the plot. In terms of timeframe, it took place after Halo 3, and was written in journal format. However, I canceled it due to deciding to novelize Another World directly rather than adapting it. It's very unlikely I'll return to this, as the adapted plot is just too similar to its source material. Said plot had the protagonist transported to an alien world via the Ark portal, encountering what would be revealed to be ancient humans, their bodies altered due to 100,000 years of living on a planet with higher than average gravity. This was a callback to old Halo lore, where SolCore discovered lost human colonies and the like.

Gaze of Steel (Mass Effect)
Funny how things work out sometimes, where you're not sure if they work out for the best or not. In a sense, this story is an example of this.

This started out as a dream-based story, said dream having elements of Mass Effect, Stargate: Universe and King Kong. I settled on the ME setting...and realized that of the elements present, the story would be well suited to carry on from Fist of Iron. There was also more relationship to the games in this story than in its predecessors, acting as a sidequel to the final part(s) of Mass Effect 2 and even featuring Shepard and co.

In the end though, I scrapped it. The problem is that for this story to work, the Collector base has to be saved. A choice I saw as being more likely due to certain EU material. However, given how Shepard automatically treats the subject of control in Mass Effect 3 (ending choices aside), I now see the Collector based as being canonically destroyed. And with no base, this story can't work. Simple as that.

Hall of the Mountain King (Legend of Zelda)
Yes, it's true. The story I wrote in Year 7 was one of the ones that I posted on this site, albiet tailored to the Legend of Zelda universe. It had the same basic premise too, although I'd adjusted the projected plot to involve a certain plot twist...

However, bad writing aside, I deleted it. I learnt something very important from the story as how hard it is to write for Link. Strange how a silent protagonist is so difficult to write for, but I just couldn't get a portrayal that I was comfortable with. And the fact that it was set under the auspecies of the Single Timeline Theory before the Split Timeline Theory was confirmed as canon, makes it harder to return to.

It's hard to say how I stand in regards to this story. There's nothing absolute to stop me from going back to it, but the intricacies of circumstance make it difficult. However, I lifted its plot to form the basis for a Golden Sun story titled Hall of the Mountain Queen (go figure with the gender change). The problem thus exists that if I ended up writing this story, how different would it be at the end of the day?

Inherant Evil (Resident Evil)
This was an adaptation of Romero's draft script for the first Resident Evil movie. It's hard to say whether I prefer Romero's or Anderson's version. At least in the first RE movie it could have concievably fitted into the game universe before Anderson went off on his tangent. Romero was more true to the game version and had a more thematic script, but it was still basically telling the same story as the first game. After having been remade for the Gamecube, novelized by S. D. Perry and been re-released in numerous forms of the original game (eg. Deadly Silence), I wouldn't have been able to get too excited about the plot, regardless of how well it was executed.

Basically, this was an attempt to convert the script into novel format. I soon gave up on it and deleted it. Firstly, like all the fics I first posted on this site, it was done without planning and given the ammount of tailoring that had to be done to make it fit into canon as opposed to an AU version of it, it's no wonder that it failed. The second issue was that I felt guilty about using the script to write a story. Felt like plagarism and the idea of returning to the story still makes me wonder about that.

I'm not sure about the likelihood of returning to the story. I'd like to, but the issues mentioned above have put a barrier around it.

Inner Fire (Star Citizen)
This was a transposition of the StarCraft story of the same name (see below) to the Star Citizen setting. It stemmed from my first cancellation of it before replacing the kaldorei with a branch of protoss. I decided to cancel it as well because the setup felt only slightly less artificial than the StarCraft version. As the whole concept of Inner Fire was scrapped, I thought this should be applied to this version as well.

Inner Fire (StarCraft)
There's a bit of a story behind this...story. It follows that ages ago, I jotted down a simple idea of telling the story of how Raynor joined the Alliance, along with a few other plot points. This was back in the day before StarCraft Adventures was de-canonized. Regardless, it fell to the wayside and as I depicted him joining it in Operation: Claws, the story, titled Alliance itself, was kind of a moot point. However, as per the comic series and Wings of Liberty, it seems that this wasn't a wholesale commitment, which left my enlistment portrayal in Claws as possibly being inaccurate. So, courtesy of the time it takes to fly from Bangkok to Sydney, I jotted down the idea of a direct sequel to the Christmas story, one that would address the issue. This would effectively pick up from my original idea. However, said idea was actually more fleshed out than I thought, so I renamed this story as "Inner Fire" and made it a separate one, returning Alliance to effective limbo. "Inner Fire," in this case, representing what "lesser species" are capable of in comparison to more powerful ones such as the protoss. It also took on a much less whimsical tone than its predecessor.

So yeah-this was my attempt of patching up personal canon, as per me still treating Adventures as tiered canon. It also addressed some elements I left out of my novelization of Operation Claws, such as the protoss bandits. Oh, and Santa's elves appeared. Yes, elves. Or rather, "kaldorei," effectively given the "elves" a personality that harkened to Warcraft, given the night elf Banshee pilot in Wings of Liberty. Certainly more work went into the first stage of drafting than in other fics, in regards to fleshing them out. Overall, I'd say that my main influences on them would be night elves, eldar Exodites and wess'har. Added more to them via the night elf templar portrait, though this was shoehorned in well after the story was finished being outlined and as such, they made no major appearance in the story.

However, looking back, the idea of elves in space...too much, really. I'm open to writing for species outside the "big three," but even I have limits. As such, I decided to cancel it. However, looking back, in hindsight, I deduced that the story itself was solid, just that the kaldorei were the weak link. As such, I replaced them with a branch of protoss, effectively transferring their culture to protoss outside either the Khalai or Nerazim. While it kind of negates the theme of the title, of "lesser species" emerging to challenge more dominant ones, at least it was less of a stretch of canon. However, that was part of the reason why it was canceled again. There's only so many times that the "lost protoss" card has been played, and it felt iffy to do so again, not to mention that these protoss would engage the bandits. The second issue was that this story was meant to plant the seed of Raynor's antagonism towards the Dominion (post-Brood War at least), yet the Dominion in the story gave him no reason to do so. Planet Christmas came out on top.

As such, I canceled it, but hope to return to it in two versions. One version cuts out the lost protoss, has the Dominion assert itself, and plant the seed of Raynor's resentment. Less of a victory for the 'good guys'. The second idea is to make use of the original protoss scenes, aiding another species rather than the terrans. This resulted in Stewardship.

In Starlight's Shadow (Xenopedia)
Nothing overly special here-the story consisted of a series of diary entries, all pertaining to USCMC operations, seeing them from different points of view. Just a short story really, if at all. However, the source material it was based on has been taken off the web and as such, I lost the basis for it. No great loss however, as it was an adaptation, and an adaptation of Stargate material at that.

Parasite (Metroid)
Originally titled "Infection", this was a fanfic account of the Federation's discovery of the metroids. However, on the basic level, this was an adaptation of the film Alien. The story focused on OCs, and included etecoons and dachoras before replacing them with other species.

However, this fic ended up being canceled, as the story of how the Federation discovered the metroids was already told in a manga, and there was no way I could get this story to conform to canon. As such, I scrapped it.

Plague of Undeath (Warcraft)
This was one of the first stories I posted on ff.net and given the nature of the content, it showed, hence why I deleted it in disgust once I became less of a noob after my initial bout of writing. This was a poorly planned adaptation of the book Plague by Jean Ure, taking place during the events of Reign of Chaos, Stratholme filling in for London. The writing itself wasn't that bad in hindsight, but the content was, choked with Mary Sues and cliches.

Still, elements of the story live on in Denial however. The character of Leo is directly based on a human captain in PoU, even sharing the same surname. Shahra in turn was based on the human protagonist, though was obviously made a high elf as opposed to a human. It wasn't something I'd planned when I first posted Denial but after deciding to make the story something more than a oneshot, PoU was where I turned to for inspiration.

Despite the linkage, I doubt that I will ever return to this story. The idea is viable, but as it's an adaptation as opposed to something more original and the original story was so awful in my mind, I'm not too eager to. It did provide the basis for Outbreak however, so perhaps all is not lost. Have an idea as to where the plot will go, albiet one that takes reference from Lord of the Flies.

Reign of Chaos (Warcraft)
As the title suggests, this was an attempted novelization of Reign of Chaos, made at about the same time of Tides of Darkness (see below). I actually got a bit further in this than the Warcraft II novelization attempt however, even writing two 'chapters' (though I'm using the term loosely here) and doing early forms of listing characters and chapters. Still, this at least came to something in a sense, teaching me how not to novelize the game and in a sense, helping me with the novelization of Exodus of the Horde. Were I to novelize this game, I'd give each campaign one entry each. So, as bad as this fic was, it at least provided a learning experience.

Had a few weird ideas too, such as Azeroth being an outright different planet in the same universe as Earth.

S4 (Metal Gear)
I don't remember too much about this story, the horrible writing acting as a buffer. I know that it was set between Sons of Liberty and Guns of the Patriots, but don't remember too much about the storyline, or at least what ammounted to its intricacies. Suffice to say, it was set in the Middle East, featured many Metal Gear GEKKOs and characters such as Kyle Schneider and Holly White were set to appear, despite the fact that the former was killed in Metal Gear 2 (not that death ever stopped characters from returning) and that the latter's role was essentially taken by Meryl. In a way, it was a preluse to MGS4 while tying up loose events from the early games. Regardless, from what I remember, it wouldn't have conformed to canon either, as per erenous assumptions as to the nature of the Patriots and Sunny.

That being said, given the bitter taste its poor writing left in my mouth, don't expect this story to be posted again...ever.

Soul Blade: Tale of the Three Swords (Soul Calibur)
As memory serves, this was the last story I posted on this site before I realised that posting willy-nilly wasn't perhaps the best idea in the world and began deleting said stories, of which only Beginnings and The Broken Seal survived. SB: TotTS was also the last to be deleted, as I felt that the writing was somewhat better than most of the other stuff that I posted. It was on the border between crappiness and something a bit more decent. However, I still ended up deleting it, as I lost the second chapter due to a computer crash and couldn't bring myself to write it again.

The chances of me going back to it are pretty much nil, as storyline-wise, it was basically a take at a Soul Calibur IV, which has since been made officially. There's little point in posting stories that are set to be rendered null by official material. And although SCIV has little in the way of story, I doubt it could fit in.

Terran Tales (StarCraft)
This was another proposed 'journal entry' as opposed to conventional narrative. In this story's case, it was a collection of entries leading up to the Koprulu exile from the 21st century. However, I decided not to do it in the end, as simple journal entries don't really do history justice. The concept of doing such a story remains in my head, but not in this format.

The Battle for Earth (Red vs. Blue)
At the end of Beginnings, there's a blurb for a story called Red vs. Blue: The Battle of Earth. It's a story I never got round to writing and I doubt I ever will. However, in my early, (more?) arrogant days, I listed a number of stories that would follow Beginnings, said story ultimatly being the first of five and BoE the second. I can't remember their names and I never took down formal notes, though I can remember some aspects. As such, I'll list them here.

-The Battle of Earth was really a RvB take on Halo 3 and would have ended with the disunity between the Red and Blue Armies being revealed. Tex would have made her appearance in this story and was piloting the ship that followed the others to Earth.

-The third story would ultimatly be what Beginnings started off as, something covering the three years between Church, Grif and Simmons's arrival in Blood Gulch and the start of Season 1. Debbie would have been part of Red Team during this, as was the cyan armored soldier seen in Beginnings being part of Blue Team. The two would develop some kind of love-hate relationship. Wyoming would meanwhile work in the background, as per the instructions of the thing hinted at in the epilogue (some weird mix of a c'tan and the W'rkncanter as I recall).

-The fourth story would revolve around Debbie and the cyan soldier, diverging from the Blood Gulch setting. I think Nicole-458 was meant to feature somehow. Regardless, the plot focussed around ONI, how it was actually controlled by a trio of AIs (Alpha, Omega and Zero, Zero being the head of Section Zero).

-The fifth story was some kind of endgame scenario. Debbie would die by its end, though the cyan character would survive.

So yeah. Various ideas, but ones that I don't see myself ever following up on. It's nice to reflect, but merging Halo and Red vs. Blue isn't the best COA for fanfiction IMO.

The Broken Seal
The title probably gives it away, but yes, this is a novelization of GS1, the Japanese tagline having been applied. It was one of the first things I ever posted on this site and apart from Beginnings, the only entry I didn't end up deleting in disgust. At first, it was simply due to reading Master of Reality's excellent Golden Sun novelization, getting caught up in a "me too! I wanna write a great novelization too!" moment. Of course, that was before I realized exactly how long a novelization would have to be and that the attempt to novelize the game (and its sequel for that matter) is hardly new. Still, this story was taken by another user for Chinese translation. That stroked my ego. :)

Despite these traits, it faces a number of issues in regards to continuation. Firstly, it was written under the assumption that there would be no installments in the series beyond The Lost Age, an assumption proven false by Dark Dawn. As such, I delivered a lot of original lore, most, if not all of which was/will be rendered canonically null. Case in point was the Ancients&mdash;as revealed in Dark Dawn, they had no idea as to what negative effects sealing alchemy would bring, whilst one of the major plot points here (and in The Weyard Chronicles as a whole) was that they did know. And looking back at what I created, I can't say I'm all that comfortable with it. In the end, I've decided to discontinue this story.

However, the concept has been revised, but that's covered in the entries for Mercury, Liquidus and Venus.

The Frozen Throne (Warcraft)
Similar case as Reign of Chaos. 'Nuff said. I actually have ideas for novelizing the individual campaigns somewhere, but they're unlikely to ever come to fruition.

TheoryCraft (StarCraft)
This stemmed from a challenge I set myself as a joke on StarCraft Legacy, to write the story of StarCraft II without using the artifact, de-infesting Kerrigan, "retconning" the Overmind's backstory, and making the story free of prophecy. A joke, but people seemed to like it. Covering the three games of the trilogy, it's material that I'd never fully novelize (as in, if I'd ever novelize the SC2 games I'd do it based on canon), but would be willing to use. Hence, a conversion to narrative form, rationalized by Tassadar seeing an alternate future, only with the point of divergence being much earlier. However, I decided to abandon it, because at the end of the day, what's the point? No-one would read it for its narrative/story, but instead, it would turn into another debate on the story of the StarCraft II trilogy. And then I'd be in a position of having written a work I didn't believe in on one hand, yet had posted on the other, and would thus be expected to be all for it. At the end of the day, it's probably best if it's left on the forum.

Tides of Darkness (Warcraft)
As the title suggests, this was an attempted novelization at the game of the same name, long before the official version was released. And like all writing made in a notebook made at...well, however old I was, it sucked, not to mention grossly inaccurate and taking extensive reference from Lord of the Rings (somehow had the idea of the Guardians coming from across the sea akin to the Istari, completely ignorant of the Council of Tirisfal at the time). Anyway, just something for people to laugh about a newbie attempting, including early forms of listing chapters and characters, along with racial categorization of Alliance units.

The Weyard Chronicles (Golden Sun)
Maybe it's a good thing profile pages don't have a history option akin to wikipedia. If this was the case, and someone looked back far enough, you would have seen I'd posted a list of over twenty Golden Sun fics under the blanket of The Weyard Chronicles. In my newbie days, when I was foolish/arrogant enough to imagine this as being feasible, I'd imagined that The Broken Seal and The Lost Age would form the first two parts of a fantasy saga. However, not only is this not possible in writing terms, but with Dark Dawn continuing the storyline, it's clear that Weyard isn't mine to shape (literally, given the effects alchemy has on shifting geography), that the storyline didn't end with The Lost Age. It's hard to say how many of the ideas I developed will be carried on into a novelization of The Broken Seal, provided I even get round to it. Still, from what I can remember, I can give a rough summary of what stories I had in mind and their rough order, but this is hazy at best. However, I'd rather wait for now and see what becomes of The Broken Seal. Hopefully, I can reach the stage where I can give a summary without the issue of spoilers.
