First time out of the vault
To the fanfiction authors out there, your thoughts? Have people already done something like this or started projects for this kind of stuff?

Hy lowly new user,let me tell you smthing :)
The fallout universe will evolve to a pre-war world,i mean when the radiation is gone,ppl will start to rebuild and will make own governments like NCR,this will happen to fallout universe in 500 years.
 
Just stories that aren't necessarily based off of the games, but sort of like expands on what happens in between them. I'd like to get a bunch of authors to kind of make stories that all connect, or ones that were already written and make sure they connect because I really love Fallout, but unfortunately, there's no novels that I can get into that kind of expands on the Fallout world. I'd just like to see some more stories that take place in the Fallout universe. But if there are already groups that do that, I'd like to know. The only things that I know of are the Fallout Bible and the All Roads graphic novel.

The further you stray from the base, the less point is there to base it on a certain franchise. AbullSinCara is not incorrect per se, but if I write a story set in a completely rebuilt world, where I only insist that mutants used to exist, ghouls used to exist, radiation used to be rampant, anarchy used to be common, then what's the point of waving the Fallout-flag?

The point would be to make it recognizeable with the genre and franchise, otherwise it might even come off as false advertisement. The balance between "It's my fan fic! I can write about whatever I want!" and "Dude, I expected at least a raider/ghoul/supermutant/death-claw/NCR-VC-Khan-V101/etc mention in there!"

Personally, not a fan of fan-fic, but I understand the appeal of it.
 
Have to agree with Zegh. While it's all well and good that you can take Fallout's copious gaping holes in both geography and timeline and stretch it out ad infinitum, you have to remember that 'Fallout' is named that for a reason. Your distance from the bombs increases your distance from the genre, and that includes the story taking place in other regions as well. If I wrote such a story, I'd be very leery of going any length before the Great War, and of going too far from established locations. About the only thing Fallout is really missing now is a "just after the bomb" story, where you witness immediate decay instead of looking at the aftermath a century later. But even that's pushing it.
