Amidst galactic politics, unique traditions, and a colorful cast of characters, this biography explores the apprehension of fate, the quest for identity, and the origin of kebabs, in an adventure that defies time and space.

This is my first book and it is a fanfic of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglass Adams. Once I get two votes on any given part, I will release the next. (This rule may not apply if I get board or have a lot of parts staked up and ready to release) Keep in mind that this story was written after I only read the first book in the trilogy of five! 😜 The story is about a teen named Nichola Dent, who is the last earthing in the universe (besides her parents).

A fanfiction novella set in Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide universe. 33k words. A rogue government agency is misusing dangerous Magrathean technology, and Arthur Dent must reunite with old friends to help save planets across the Galaxy. Join them for another wild, wacky, interstellar romp aboard the Heart of Gold! In this story, you'll discover the answers to these vital questions: * Whatever happened to Fenchurch? * Does the saying "there's someone for everyone" apply to Ford Prefect? * What exactly IS a Collapsing Hrung? * What is Slartibartfast's last name? * WHY is 42 the Ultimate Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything? What does it actually MEAN?

Okay, so this is just for whenever I'm on a Guide kick. It likely won't be updated incredibly often, but... It'll still happen, so that's something!

The ultimate answer to the question "Why did Douglas Adams choose 42 as equivalent to Life, The Universe, and Everything?" (Don't Panic..)

Word-vomit à la Douglas Adams meets Welcome to Nightvale - I'd like to think anyway. Alternatively: A mostly plot-less exploration of a universe where up is down and down is usually to the left.

It's not just any ideas that get manufactured in Corkhill's castle. It's the Eureka! ideas - blueprints for something that nobody has ever thought of before. The type of ideas that change worlds. Buttertoast, a giant moth, had just stolen one. Somewhere else in the world of Backstage, Uppity the clown had just failed miserably at his largest ever (but still small) magic gig. Things were going to get a lot worse. You see, he just accidently caused the end of the world, and is running out of time to save it. All he needs is the help of someone at the Magic Ponies Mental Institute, and a silver goldfish.

It's been four months since Dirk solved the Oneiroi case and human existence, (yes, Dirk solved the case of human existence) and they were beginning to get used to the idea of maybe, possibly, living a normal life. Not that they wanted that, of course. But they had stopped Blackwing so maybe the universe was fixed and no more weird stuff would happen... Wrong! Get ready for a tale of goats, a boat, drugs, and lots of other random stuff. I told you this one was weird.

An old story in the fantasy world of the Kingdom of Arnquin. When Lord Florwingden Talbott is injured in a troll skirmish battle and forced into early retirement from his role as Green Knight of the Kingdom of Arnquin, his 19 yr old nephew Tom, must take his place, and wear the enchanted green armour, so as to defend the Kingdom from the trolls of the North. Can Tom learn to be a true knight and take his destined place as bodyguard to Princess Emma and the Protector of the Kingdom of Arnquin? The Kingdom of Arnquin has always had a Green Knight to keep the Kingdom and royal family safe from the trolls of the North, but will the trolls now seek their opportune time to strike now that the Kingdom has no green knight, with no one ready to wear the enchanted armour to defend the realm. Tom has 3 months to complete his training. The trolls are likely planning attacks on the Kingdom daily. And Princess Emma expects him to ask her to the Mid-Summers Ball...

Universe|Dirk Gently Work in progress

There's nothing more dangerous than a book, especially in the wrong hands. And, in this world of magic, wars and an alarming number of self-serving, gratuitously selfish people, there are a lot of wrong hands to take advantage. When the world's foremost mage, Anpound Pudbatter (fresh from a magical accident that had turned him back into a teenager with all the associated raging hormones) meets Gammer Goodhiding, the world's most polite, yet indefinably terrifying witch, and Bindi, a Druid who almost has a filthy mouth, they come together to search for an object that could very well spell the end of the world as they know it. Or change it in ways they cannot imagine. From the intermittently high Mount Pintel, to the vast, unending Library, to the indeterminately located city of Lost Vagueness, where hope, and Coin, go to wallow in despair, to the world's most important, prominent, and tiniest city, the three of them must follow the magical chaos wrought by the presence of the book. And with warlords bent on conquest, thieves out for a quick score and a djinn with a mischievous attention to detail in the way, things may not go quite according to plan. And what, exactly, is the origin of the book? Only The Archivist's All-knowing Almanac knows for sure. A love-letter to the works of Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams. The first novel of the ongoing Discworld inspired series.
