Nova: The New Adventures!

Okay; switching tack! Time to do a bit of publicity! Myself, alongside a few fellow "bucketheads", decided a while back that we wanted to rectify a major crime: lack of available online Nova fan fiction!
To be fair, there is New Warriors fan-fiction which does feature Nova. Often stories are set after the original New Warrior's run which finished with issue 75, back in the 90's. Many of the sites have sadly vanished into internet limbo, but one site, The Marvel Mansion, at Livejournal, does endevour to carry on Nova's exploits of the original New Warriors. The stories are very neatly put together in a unique way because they're not written by one person, but several! I'd call it story chain writing: One person starts off with a paragraph, then the next one adds a few lines, then another and so on; each adding to the plot. Some of the tales are very good; the present one has the Warriors visiting Hell! A notable point is that Rich Rider's romance with Namorita; little cousin to a certain bad tempered undersea monarch, never ended cause the Warriors never died as they did in Civil War so expect a lot of snogging an the like!

For my own Nova fan-fics; well I, and my co-writer, Bill are firmly sticking to the "present" Annihilation version Rich Rider: with a slight twist. The "twist" is that our stories, just like the New Warriors ongoing, is set in an alternative universe which we've called 615 (there's a space!). Here the events of Annihilation still happened so Rich has the full Nova Force at his disposal; he has Worldmind giving him grief/advice and also trying to make sure Rich lives to his Nova "potential". The timeline changes after the events on Earth (Nova 2-3); here Nova doesn't go to Hala and end up in Conquest; instead he heads off in a new direction altogether to face a few new challenges and enemies along the way as well as interact with new and familiar characters!

It also gives us a chance to try and "fill in the gaps!!" For example we're doing an arc to depict how Rich became the leader of the United Front and it features a character that is a firm fan favourite for many Novalites!

I'm currently half-way through writing story 1, Bill is doing his story too but we're taking time to fit this into the day jobs!
