Battletech Fanfiction Links
« on: 26 January 2011, 13:58:57 »
Finding battletech fanfiction is never easy- it's spread thinly all over the internet. The recent forum trouble hasn't helped matters either. So here are a series of links. Some are to Battletech Fanfiction sites, some are to specific stories. All of the pure Battletech stories are of a decent length and a good quality- no short, poorly written fics on this list.
There is, towards the bottom, links to every Battletech crossover I can find which didn't make me want to claw my eyes out in agony.

Battletech Fanfiction Sites:
http://www.chignaguet.com/bt_fanfiction/index.html (Hasn't updated since 2006, but has some fics you can't find elsewhere)

Stefan Amaris thought he could conquer the Terran Hegemony, and hold it.

Gundam Seed/Magic Knight Rayearth/Final Fantasy 6/Gundam Wing
Archangel's Amazing Adventures
During the events of Gundam Seed, the Archangel is thrown into another dimension- along with the 4 ZAFT Gundam pilots who keep trying to destroy it. They find themselves stuck with oneanother, as the Archangel travels from dimension to dimension. Chapters 9-16 take place in the Battletech universe, during the Clan Invasion, and subsequent chapters make great use of salvaged mechs from the battletech universe.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3729961/1/Archangels_Amazing_Adventures
(Note: The author, for all his various weaknesses, is very good about letting his battles be decided by simulating the battles on tabletop, and sticking to the roll of the dice.)

Gundam Seed (And various influences from most other Gundam continualities, and the odd bit of Sailor Moon)
Multimage Empire series
In a distant future of the Battletech universe, where magic exists (though is very, very rare), the Multimage Empire has learned how to travel between dimensions, absorbing people and technology from many incarnations of earth- especially the Gundam ones. Now, a fleet misjumps, through time and space, finding itself stranded in the Cosmic Era of Gundam Seed.
(Note: Uses battletech rules for battles, equipment, Clan culture, but does not take place in the Inner Sphere.)
Legend of the Jokers Wild: The Mojlner is stranded in the Cosmic Era. Takes place during the end of Gundam Seed, through the years afterwards, working up to the end of Gundam Seed Destiny (though this revision hasn't got that far yet)

If anyone knows of another link for Saotome Gambit it would be appreciated.  The one on FF.net only has the first seven of thirty-three chapters.  I have the whole story, minus the last two epilogues IIRC, on my computer but the files are too large to post.

Hey everyone, if you can find links to other battletech fics that arn't on this forum, (or missing parts of allready posted fics, like Kerensky and Kurita), post them here, and I'll edit the first post accordingly.

Specific Links wanted:
Part 2 and 3 of Kerensky and Kurita
The Misadventures of Darius Davion series
The rest of the Saotome Gambit

and any other worthwhile fics.

Personally, I find at least the first three chapters of that story (haven't gotten farther even with skipping) completely unreadable despite liking both Ranma 1/2 and Battletech.

Here and they're still available via the wayback machine last I checked.


I'll take a look and try to salvage some of my old Fic Rec thread.

No, the site just does maintenance, and goes down for half an hour a day.

EDIT: Revised list

The mods have said that the archive is just temporary- just like the old archive- and couldd be taken down at any time. While there IS one fellow whose looking into hosting the old archive himself, the archived fics are by no means safe.


So if you're an author, and your fics arn't on the new forum, please repost them. (This will also have the rather nice side effect of having them all concentrated, instead of spread throughout long threads, intersperced with debates and comments)

So true, though.  It's really easy to paint yourself into a corner that way.

Agreed. The best advice I ever took (on the subject of fanfic writing) was; firstly read your stuff aloud, it highlights typos and grammatical errors and where things just ... sound wrong, and secondly to plan the story before starting to write it. It doesn't have to be meticulous, just a guideline, which you can follow, or change slightly as you go. I tend to have four or five lines per chapter, and always end up adding stacks of chapters as I think of stuff to add as I go, or realise stuff will take longer to write than I thought.

That's what I've done for the most part.

I also try and incorporate as much as the campaign events from the solo campaign I am playing into the story line as well.  For example, on the Arcadia contract I suffered numerous supply failures.  Writing that into the story line is easy for me and serves a purpose because I can say it's the militia commanders stealing from the supplies to line their own pocket, which helps out in many ways.

If anyone has PDFs of their work, I'll host'em on the downloads site. Consider it another backup since I also store everything in a second server and offline.

Look, dude, when you are a real mechwarrior you don't need to get all dressed up in cooling suits and cool helmets to work on your mech. You just strip down to your 1980s panties and crop top vest and start wrenchin' it.

Updated the original post with new links.

Can anyone point me at copies of the Kowloon stories, by Cannonshop? They were spread out, in large part through the old forumarchive, and I can't find them all.

Updated the original post again.

Still looking for the Kwoolon stories, and the full version of the Saotome Gambit.

Thanks a bunch to Tokage for continuing to post all of his Darius Davion saga.

  A brief, untitled, one-shot crossover, told from the crossover character's PoV.  ComStar and the Clans are just starting to duke it out on Tukayyid when a new player deals himself into the game.  Why?  For the honour of the Regiment.   }:)

Well I know I had a few fans for my spare attempts at writing and since I should now have my hard drive with all my back ups on it of them I may see about doing some re-writes once I figure out a way to recover the data* and reposting when not coding my next project.

*The problem is more that I'm lazy than anything else and a slight possibility that I grabbed the wrong case.

The FF.net link for "We Lie, We Cheat, We Steal" is an obsolete version that I'd update but... I hate ff.net. I'm aiming to eventually repost the "Reven" series of fics here, but a lot of the side material that allows Operation Jungle Drums to make sense was lost in the board crash.

In the meantime, links to my "Dark Age" fic series.

I was just looking over the drone stories starting with Sybil, but I could not find Knock, Nock so I was hoping someone knew where it is hiding.

  The original version died two forum crashes ago.  :'(  I've got it saved to my HDD, but I'm not sure I should repost it (or put it up as a downloadable file) without permission from the original authors.  :-\

  (Speaking of whom: has anyone seen Cannonshop here since the latest Reset?  I can't find him on searching the username list....   :-\)
