WRITTENWORK;

 Hi there! I'm Max, and I'll be your android tonight
TRILOGY
Creative writing Independent, written second semester, 2001. UPDATED SEPT 04
This is a massive story (printed, it tops 50 pages), and was written as a creative writing independent in my last semester of University. It deals with Arkady and Umber's beginnings (sort of), Grant and Max's introduction, and the central conflict of artificial life in the City. Click on the link to get more info (and my notes), and a sectioned version of the story. (This is actually a work in progress.)
CHARACTERS: Max, Grant, Owly, Umber, Arkady, May, Alistaire

REMEMBER ME / written first semester, 2000 / assignment for Creative Writing 303
The story that spawned the Independent. It's much shorter, and was actually used for the middle section of my Independent Study. It stands very well on its own as a complete work, and I think I like it better than the Independent.
Anyway, if you aren't up to reading the full Independent, I suggest tackling this story instead. It basically details when Max and Grant meet.
CHARACTERS:
Grant, Max, Owly, May, Umber, Arkady.

Short Unrelated Trilogy Stories
IN MEMORY OF / written first semester, 1999.
Narrated by Max
Sort of a stand alone short story (although references are made to the prelude), this thing still manages to elicit a grudging sense of pride from me... It's decent, really it is, and a nice little character painting of Max, Grant, Owly and Umber. A few of the details here (Arkady's kidnapping & illness) I kept, for future use in the final version of this Trilogy.
CHARACTERS: Max, Grant, Owly, Umber, Arkady (flashback)

PRELUDE// written second semester, 1998.
Narrated by
Max
This was the first snippet of a story written for the Trilogy universe, and... uh... it's really stinking the place up. :P But I'll leave it up here so you can laugh at the unoriginal prose, over-use of pop-culture references and totally out of character moments. eheh. No, it's fine for what it is, really. It was a good experiment. Showed me what worked in the Trilogy world, and what didn't.
CHARACTERS: Max,
Grant, Owly, Umber, Arkady.
