Aderia Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) Between the Bookends Aderia's Library Collection Whew. Dusty in here. Hope you don't mind. Take your time, browse around, but please don't try to re-shelve books yourself. Review Topic 2020-21 project! Probably a duology of epics, but 'saga' sounded better. Can't rule out additional short stories after the fact. Water's Will - Short story. In a time where titans ruled and fought, vying for influence and power in the dawn of the Matoran Universe, one keen Toa of Water sees the need to enact great change, and the opportunity to do so. She takes it. (Published 11/22/19) (prequel/tie in to The Ternion) The Ternion - Epic. Complete!! A stasis capsule from an era past washes up on the shore of a small coastal town, Uahi, in the north-western region of the Northern Continent. A careful Toa of Fire, the sole guardian of the region so recently desolated by the conquests of the League of Six Kingdoms, is called to investigate. This is the story about what he found that day. (Published 11/15/19) The Sculptors and the Smelters - Epic. The Matoran Civil War started out as precisely that - Matoran trying to be civil to each other. However, one should never underestimate the passive-aggressive capacity of a slighted Po-Matoran sculptor, nor the one-upping tenacity of a Ta-Matoran smelter. Unfortunately, they both underestimated one another in these regards, and the whole city paid the price. Companion to The Ternion, but also (hopefully) works as a standalone epic. Review Topic - this contains multiple appendices (aka, author's runaway headcanons) including character lists, a Northern Continent Compendium, and a guide to the Matoran Civil War. Metru Nui News Articles - Flash fictions. News articles and other literature from daily life in Metru Nui before/during the Matoran Civil War. Mutant Snipes Take Northern Sculpture Fields by Reporter Kodan (12/18/19) Dear Sanso - an advice column excerpt from your favorite musician (12/23/19) From the Desk of Chief Editor Kopeke, a submission by Ehrye (12/30/19) A Metru Nui Classified Ad by Archivist Mavrah (01/07/20) A Ta-Matoran Obituary, written in loving memory by Aft (01/14/20) Syllabus for COMM/SOC 0275: Communication and Conflict by Professor Nokama (01/20/20) Short Stories The Last Ember Day - Even the Turaga of Metru Nui can't know how a seemingly idyllic day will end. (10/27/2020) Author's note: I tried writing something scary for this Halloween! New territory for me, for the most part! We've only really seen impostor Dume. I like to think he was a legitimately good Turaga, who tried to do what was best by his people, while still keeping a functioning city. But bad things still happen to good Turagas, unfortunately. That Wistful Place Above - A certain shape-shifter, recently recovered from her defeat at the hands of the Toa Metru, takes a gander up-world. (11/9/2020). Older Works (disclaimer...these are from that angsty high school phase that I'm pretty sure we all went through. But I stand by my works. Most of them. The ones I don't, I got rid of XD) Reality's Fantasy - Kind of a flash fiction.There are two sides to every fight. The winning side, and the losing side. After a fateful clash of the titans for the control of Creation itself, two beings draw the conflict to a close once and for all. (2012) Black Diamonds One being reminiscing amongst the ruins of Odina. (Published 1/26/11) The Lonely - Solitary confinement is not kind to the Fallen Toa Mangai of Water. All Our Sins Remembered The haunting of a Toa of Iron by Pride, Anger, Envy, Lust, Fear, and even Death, and how it tears his team of Toa apart. SSC8 Entry, (Published 11/15/11) Dark Vanity Roodaka VS. Lariska, a hypothetical showdown between the two. Also see 'Femme Fatality" by Tyler Durden. (published 6/12/12) Perfectionist "You were created to be perfect. Anything less is unacceptable." A tale of a manipulated Son of the Makuta and his place in the world. (Published 9/5/11) Also see: Faux Faux - Epic. If Makuta are analgous to Toa, then this is the story about a Matoran version of Makuta. This is his story. Discontinued.

How to Impress Your Sister with Chinese - Link to blog entry.
