[ Edit, 08 December 2003, 9:38 PM PST: ]
Some commentary: I'm both amazed and really pleased by this. If anything, it's a fun exercise in just writing for our characters off-MUSH, whether it's speculative fiction about a dark Videoland or just a humorous anecdote or two.
On that note, I wanted to quickly correct an assumption: this spontaneously generated itself, and 'additions' don't need to be based on "Carbon", or a dark Videoland, or even the future at all. I'm just collecting Videoland fic; there aren't any actual rules.
That in mind, on to the fiction.
[ Edit, 10 December 2003, 10:06 AM PST: ]
Well, now that my finals are at last over, I can collect all the fiction written on the latter half of the 9th and early parts of the 10th. This is starting to get crazy--I may need to actually move this off of LJ and give it a website of its own!
Thankfully, winter vacation will give me that time.
Shifted things around a little so all the fiction based on "Carbon" is grouped down at the bottom of the list.
Note: Reposted, because LJ was being snarky about me making edits.

A Few Stories To Relate
Date: 2003-12-17 10:55 am (UTC)"Outcasts" -- Alex Kidd
Summary: In the "Carbon" storyline, Alex leads a new life after the destruction of Aries.
"I Ran" -- Jazz Jackrabbit

I think these two would be done shortly, at least before (or maybe) after the New Year. We just have to see.
