The Bookshire Sonic Fan Fiction Multiverse-Continuum!

The Bookshire Multiverse: A collection of Sonic fan fiction (mostly written in the early days of the Sonic internet fandom) set in the world of Sonic SatAM. Individually, the stories vary in quality, from excellent to mediocre. Taken as a whole, it is among my favorite fan fiction series.

Like the Archie Sonic comic, it took the SatAM mythos and added new characters and adventures, really fleshing out the world of Mobius. Unlike Archie, it always remained consistent with SatAM. The authors of the various stories that comprise the Bookshire Saga even managed a surprising level of consistency from one story to another.

There are some inconsistencies, though, which I've made note of here. Small inconsistencies (such as those between individual stories) are noted in the "Timeline" reference under the story description. Larger inconsistencies (such as branching storylines, and entire sagas inconsistent with one-another) shall be separated into "tables".

...Those familiar with the Bookshire Multiverse will note I've included not only "Universe 1" & "Universe 2", but the "Knothole Chronicles" and other stories.

So, what makes a "Bookshire story", in my opinion?

Rule #1: The story must be consistent with SatAM, and not obviously based on a different Sonic continuity. This means that any characters or events from continuities other than SatAM must be treated as "new", and given a reasonable introduction/recap. It also means, of course, that no characters or events may contradict characters & events established in SatAM.
Rule #2: All characters, whether cannon or fan-created, must be in-character.
Rule #3: The story must be readable (sentences, paragraphs, punctuation, & grammar must be used reasonably.)
Rule #3: The story must be PG-13 at maximum -- that is, no excessive language or violence, and no blatant sexual content.
Rule #5: Finally, the story should be either written by someone whose works are featured on Bookshire's site, or include characters created by those authors.

Finally, before we get down to the stories, I'd like to thank all the authors of the works on this page... Especially the ones who encouraged the reproduction of their work-- without them I'd never have thought to create this page! Also, I'd like to thank the various webmasters whose sites I shamelessly lifted these stories from, especially Serinthia Draftwood, who actually knows about this page and is okay with it... :D

Dan Drazen's Sonic Kids Trilogy

The Sonic Kids Trilogy

By Dan Drazen

Dan Drazen's answer to the question, "What were the Freedom Fighters like when they were growing up in Knothole after the fall of Mobotropolis?"

Timeline: 3229 - 3231 (NOTE: These stories are inconsistent with the origin of Tails presented in Draftwood's "Tails' Tale" and followed in several other stories in this Universe.)

"Capture the Flag" by Dan Drazen
Chapters 1-3��Chapters 4-6��Chapters 7-9��Chapters 10-12

The kids play a game of "Capture the Flag", then go on a dangerous rescue mission to Robotropolis. Rated G.

Timeline: 3229
"First Honor" by Dan Drazen
The Knothole kids are planning something for the Mobian version of Mother's Day but Sonic doesn't want any part of it. Rated PG, for a disturbing scene.

As the Knothole kids physically grow up, they must mentally grow up as well.

Timeline: 3231

How Bunnie became a Rabbot.

Timeline: Sometime between 3230 & 3232.

Timeline: The main story takes place when tails is seven (in 3232; after "Bunnie Rabbot").
"Nano-Wars" by Michael Szal
Robotnik attempts to destroy all life on Mobius, using nanites. The Freedom Fighters are helpless against this attack. But don't write Mobius off just yet...

Season One

Timeline: Begins where Chapters 1 & 2 ended, ends after the main body of "Tails' Tale".

Timeline: Continues directly from "Tolouse's Story"
"Ransom" by John Wainscott
Robotnik takes Tails' friend Nina captive. Chapter One of the Knothole Chronicles.

Timeline: March, 3235. NOTE #1: Although the text lists this as taking place in "June", it takes place a month before "April Fools".
NOTE #2: The fact that this story was written as taking place before Doomsday is rather odd, considering that Nina's introduction story, "the Seminar", takes place after Doomsday.
"April Fools" by John Wainscott
The Knothole Villagers play pranks on each other. Chapter Two of the Knothole Chronicles.

Timeline: April 1st, 3235 (3 weeks after "Ransom")

Timeline: May 12, 3235 (NOTE: Although this story works much better as a season two story, it's mention of Todd prior to Doomsday places it squarely in the middle of "On My Mother's Grave"-- which itself takes place before "Nothing for Granted", a season one story...)
"On my Mother's Grave" Part Two by Kris Kelly & Craig Fox
When Tails is kidnapped, Todd's the first to go and rescue him...will he come back?

Timeline: After "Drood Henge"
"Bloodlines" by Dan Drazen
Chapters 1-3��Chapters 4-6��Chapters 7-9��Chapters 10-12�� Afterword

A true classic! Bunnie gets her tail saved by a stranger who is a key to Sally's past... Dan Drazen's debut fanfic, this story also established Drazen's reputation as one of the greatest Sonic fanfic writers. Chapters 1-11 rated G, chapter 12 rated PG-13 for one controversial scene.

An Earthling named Eric finds himself transported to Mobius. Yeah, it's self-insertion, but it's well done.

Timeline: Before "The Doomsday Project"
"Homecoming"� by Dan Drazen
It's Good News/Bad News when Sabina, Dulcy's "Ma", shows up at Knothole one day. The good news is: Dulcy is being reunited with her family; the bad news is: she may never be able to return to Knothole if she does.

Timeline: After "Blast to the Past", Before "The Doomsday Project"
"Runaway" by Dan Drazen
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3

Sonic rescues a young Mobian from danger, but he makes the lives of the Freedom Fighters more complicated. But things don't REALLY start happening until they take the youngster home to his parents. Dan gave it an R, but I think it could pass for PG-13 (Contains some strong language, and non-graphic depiction of naked furrys).

Timeline: Before "The Doomsday Project". NOTE: This story is mildly inconsistent with the fate of Bunnie's family implied in the Joseph Saga.

The freedom fighters must escape from Robotnik's labyrinth with a little help from some new friends.

Timeline: Shortly before "The Doomsday Project"
"Starship Down" by Joseph DeLaCroix
An alien fox by the name of Joseph makes a pit-stop on Mobius. Yes, it's another self-insertion story. It's also the prelude to a novel-length fanfic...

Timeline: After "Bloodlines" and not long before "The Doomsday Project"
"Transition" by Kevin Heller
Yet another human is transported to Mobius-- and he doesn't cope with it very well. An extremely well written tale-- one of my favorites. Incidentally, this is NOT a self-insertion story.

Timeline: The main story takes place between "Starship Down" and "The Doomsday Project". The narration, however, takes place about 1 year later.
"Ring of Truth" by Joseph DeLaCroix
As Joseph settles in on Mobius, he makes startling discoveries about both his past and that of Mobius.

Yet another human is transported to Mobius-- and he doesn't cope with it very well. (Same as above.)

Timeline: The main story takes place between "Starship Down" and "The Doomsday Project". The narration, however, takes place after the fall of Robotnik & the King's return.
