Yeah, as far as i'll check them - that's a good stuff! I didn't search very deep, but i'm curious... does authors of these post a external links on fics, like google docs or something? Reading walls of text of forum is not really handy for me...
My literacy is cringe-fest... Apologies for what you're about to read.

I kinda put the editing of 'Looking forward to the mirror' on hold for a few months. RL stuff and being put down with the lack of updates for the comic. Started back up again and I will probably be finishing the editing 'soon' (TM)

dragoongfa (If I remember correctly, it was her/him) started doing google docs (where I don't read...), the rest is forum only....

AFAIK.

Indeed. Usually I am no fanfic reader, but the fanfic here is really catchy!
May have to do with the slow update speed, so fanfic takes ages to be contradicted by the canon-comic...

@Krulle

Okay thanks for that I'll check them out when I have the time, and it'll be interesting for sure. I wanted to make a fanfiction based on Mass Effect and The Expanse Scifi series, which I'm sure you've heard of the Expanse?

It was an idea for an interesting first contact series with a human officer and an alien race, in any case I'll post it up when I have the chance.

Well, I've heard the names, but that's it.
I haven't read either series.

krulle: mass effect -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_Effect
and expanse -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Expanse_(TV_series) and i enjoyed the books it is based on.

on some reasonably good read, there was a former memeber around here called starfyre that wrote a decent story a tad bit over 100k word count about a human officer running into aliens, still got the files, the site they used to be hosted on is gone though.... kinda sad that i might be holding on to the only copies....

Was it Outsider fanfic?

IF yes, then please republish in a thread, or provide a link to a storage site;
(ELSE) we need permission of starfyre to republish....

Starfyre's story wasn't an Outsider fanfic, but rather something he was working on before finding Outsider that had quite a few similarities to it by chance.
Atomic Space Race, a hard sci-fi orbital mechanics puzzle game.
Homeworld Fulcrum, a Homeworld Remastered Mod

Awww...

I don't know if Starfyre would agree, but since it is not outsider related, I think we should not republish without permission....

I recall having almost an epiphany when I first saw the orbots tv show. The art work and the presentation of the robots as characters. I admit that it was not unique in its ideation. However, I argue it was profound step forward for American media. It shaped how I viewed the world to a degree.

I was (and still am) a huge fan of the show. At one time I wouldn't miss the show at any cost. And yes, the show changed my outlook towards many things.
