PLEASE NOTE: I lost many of these stories to a server crash some years back; I'm still reassembling the page from archive.org and from my own files. Some links on this page are still broken. If I'm missing one you want to read, please contact me and I'll find it for you.

I also haven't updated this page since 2003. More recent material can be found on the TTU Wiki -- check out its Stories page, and its Culturalia page, in particular.

If you've got some time to spare, immerse yourself in one of these tales. Just don't blame me if the sun rises as you're finishing Chapter 23.

    Content warning: Explicit sexual scenes. Adults only, please.

Titania's Toys, book 2 (novella) -- When simply showing up in court and talking to the judge isn't enough to legally prove that you're alive, it can make your existence quite complex. But Titania finds out that her legal problems are the least of her worries ...
    49 pages in five parts: <<1 2 3 4 5>>. By Silussa, 9/2002.
    Content warning: Sexually suggestive material. Mature audiences.

Miscellany

This is the place for Tomorrowlands "meta-writing" (items written for exposition, or random information about the world), multimedia, or ... well, whatever.

Non-Canon

This is a list of writings set in the Tomorrowlands universe, but which aren't strictly accurate to the world, or are otherwise unofficial. Their events won't appear in the timeline and their characters won't be in the list, but they're fun reading nevertheless.

All In A Day's Work (short story) - The story that started it all! Ash and his comrades-in-arms take an extremely parodic romp through a university under siege, enduring the terrors of lawyers, lunch ladies, and ... a roomful of bunnies. You'll miss all the in-jokes, but hey, it's a piece of history.
    24 pages. By Baxil, 1997


Unfinished

For the status of stories in progress, and for stories awaiting editing, please consult my TTU To-Do List. There's always more on the way, and that will give you an idea of what to look forward to.
