Free CoH novel from Linuial

A couple of years ago, I wrote a City of Heroes novel, based around a couple of my characters and the characters of the members of my (small) supergroup, Starfire. I always intended to try to sell it to Paragon Studios, but alas, that will never happen now.

However...for anyone who isn't ready to let go of CoH, I am going to post that novel, for free, in its entirety, on my personal web site. The URL is www.terraforming.com/CoH_novel.html. The first half of the novel has now been posted, and the rest of the novel will be posted, chapter by chapter, as quickly as I can manage it.

At no time will I be asking for any money, or charging fees of any kind. This is not one of those teaser "let you read the beginning, charge you for the ending" kind of deals that we have all become so familiar with. This is purely for love of the game, and my personal sense of loss. There is a page up now, with a link to a forum where you will be able to post comments, again, free, and no registration needed, so you don't have to worry about data gathering and/or spam. If you have any interest, you can go there now and establish a bookmark to that page. Also, I believe that as long as I don't charge for it, I shouldn't get in trouble over copyright, even though I seriously doubt that anyone (NCSoft, Paragon Studios) will care any more.

Note: this is not your usual "loosely based on the concept" novel. Where possible, I have included actual missions, NPC/contact monologues, working them into dialogues as best I could, while forwarding the story. I've included some actual conversations during missions while changing the names of the players' characters.

Starfire was my supergroup, based on Liberty (and Infinity and Protector). I had permission from my friends to write about their characters and their personae.


I'll [i]almost certainly[/i] be happy with I7....."SOON(tm)"

Too bad "Maturity" isn't an Enhanceable power.

Anybody with a bow is okay in my book. ;-)

I am Lord Omi. Now and forever. They can take our City, but they can't take me.
