Hello all! Since there has been a growing interest in Non-Voltron related fanfiction, and a need to have its own little place to announce said offerings, I hereby officially open the Official "Non-Voltron Related Fanfiction Thread".

This is where if you have written something that's non-Voltron, but still pretty cool to read (Sailor Moon, Star Wars, Star Trek, etc) and you would like to post a link to said work, then feel free to announce it here!!

(Please don't post the story directly here! Links only to where you have it posted on the web.)

Have fun!
~AlluraP

What about original works? Can they be displayed here too? :3

Well, I guess I'll take advantage of this.

That is where I have posted my personal Transformers continuity. 6 stories total so far, two more in the works. Feedback is definitely appreciated, and the link happens to be included in my signature.

Also, if you decide to look around, you will find some of my earlier work there as well, but it's not among my best.

Thanks, AlluraP, for this new thread!

Now, when I get stuck in the Denubian Galaxy, and I can go visit my other friends in the other galaxies and share my experiences with everyone.

My last journey landed me in the Star Wars universe on the planet Mandalore, after the events of the novel, Republic Commando: Order 66.

Please enjoy! Don't worry if you don't follow Star Wars. It's a very emotional and human piece that doesn't require knowledge of Star Wars. The story was done in first-person...a style I don't normally do, and I'd love some feedback as a check on my writing skills.

Expectations

This is an idea I had been toying around with for a couple years now, and I finally got brave enough to post the Prologue to it.

It's a modernesque fairy tale with mostly original characters that were inspired by the Karen Traviss Republic Commando novels.

Republic Commando: Knight of Honor

Well Done Mara!

Ditto that, MaraJade! WOW! Why were you unsure to post this? This was great stuff! Thanks for sharing it . . . and uhhh . . . (ahem) . . . looking forward to the next chapter of 'The Waltz'.

I'm not anxious . . . no I'm not, no I'm not.

Just got this from the Fulton County Daily Report - It might be of future interest for our fan fic writers and those interested in copyright stuff:

http://www.dailyreportonline.com/Editorial/News/singleE...SQL=12/10/2008@28044

The U.S. Supreme Court has closed the book on an 11-year-old copyright case that, in its final form, granted The National Geographic Society—and by extension, other publishers—the right to reproduce its magazine archive in digital format without paying additional royalties to freelance contributors.

The high court on Monday denied a petition for a writ of certiorari from Florida undersea photographer and former National Geographic magazine contributor Jerry Greenberg. In July, the full 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals voted 7-5 in favor of National Geographic.

Greenberg petitioned the high court for a hearing, claiming that the 11th Circuit, and the 2nd Circuit in a nearly identical case, had misinterpreted the Supreme Court's 2001 landmark copyright ruling, Tasini v. New York Times.

But the high court, without comment, let stand rulings that Tasini—which bars publishers from selling published articles to Internet databases without securing new copyright permissions from freelance contributors—did not prohibit publishers from selling their digital archives on CD-ROMs without securing new copyright contracts.

In 1997, Greenberg challenged National Geographic's use without permission of more than 60 of the photographer's photos, which had appeared in the magazine, in a 30-disk CD-ROM compilation of the society's entire magazine archive.

Greenberg's suit caused National Geographic to pull the archive off the market in 2003, after Greenberg, with the approval of the 11th Circuit, was awarded damages by a Florida district court. But the 11th Circuit's final of three rulings favored the magazine.

Terry Adamson, executive vice president of the National Geographic Society, said Tuesday that the magazine is considering issuing a new version of the CD archive.

Greenberg's attorney, Norman Davis of Miami, said that his client, “did this not only for himself but to try to look after the interest of others who were also creative people. In pursuing this cause, he has exhausted virtually all of his means.”

Hi Mags! Thanks for the encouragement! I'm glad you enjoyed.

Hi AlluraP!

I wasn't sure about posting that Prologue because I knew once I put it out there it would become the next time-consuming story that I can't get out of my head. This was only the Prologue, and now the pace of the story will change. Karen Traviss' novels start the Prologue in first person and then switch to the narrative third-person in the first chapter. I was kind of paying homage to her by doing that as well as including opening quotes in each of the chapters. Chapter 1 is done, but I want to tinker with it a bit more before posting. The real fairy talesque part of the story starts to take place after Chapter 2.

Now, for your "real" questions...LOL. Chapter 25 of "The Waltz Continues" is still stuck where it is. Hopefully, I can get to working on it soon. I just need to figure out where it's going.

Ahem...and when can we expect the next chapter of "The Giving" and "Something to Remember me By" ahem...ahem...

Thanks for the post. It's definitely of interest to me. It's going to make me look hard at any agreements I make to publish anything in a magazine from now on.

LOL! Sometime after I get the Legend of Voltron RPG restart back in gear. I started the next chapter of "Something - " and then Kelly and I laid it aside when the writers started talking about a restart on RPG. Once that's done, then we can move to the next activity.

And 'The Giving' = the next chapter is done. Kelly just has to modify it some. Again - probably after RPG-reboot.

Most Welcome.

Okay, okay. I guess I'm running a 2 for 1 deal on fan fiction. Call it my Christmas Gifts!

The Waltz Continues got updated yesterday.

Republic Commando: Knight of Honor just got updated today.

Chapter 1

I don't think I can compete with the great stories here, but at the risk of embarrassment, here are two of my Non-Voltron fan fiction attempts. They are based on the Manga Fullmetal Alchemist . The first one is newer. It's about the characters Ed and Winry. It's called "Small but Secure."

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4599086/1/Small_But_Secure

The next one is an older one also about Ed and Winry, but a little longer. It's called "Ed's Cloak":
