Welcome to the website for the Bionicle Paracosmos! The Paracosmos is the world of my Bionicle fan fiction series, which follow a storyline that fits with the official storyline, but expands on it. The Paracosmos, which literally means "universe beside," is not the Bionicle world, it is a second timeline that has been copied off of the original, but added to. But there's a twist - this universe is not supposed to exist! How and why did this happen and what are its consequences? Those mysteries will be explored throughout the entire series.

New to the Paracosmos or this site? Get started on the story in the Timeline section - which contains a list of the episodes, and a spoiler-free reference page for each episode. Already read all of the latest stories and want to know more about the Paracosmos? Check out the Reference section (but be aware it will contain spoilers). Want to know what's new with the Paracosmos site or story? Then keep an eye on the News section, below.

[Links Pending--BZP's server is down as I type this.]

Various belatedly announced news items: The Reference Page for Kanohi is finally updated. While hosting the S&T Contest #2: A Thousand Years Untold on BZP, I couldn't resist writing what "would-be" my entry, for the Metru Nui category, if I had allowed myself to enter, so the Paracosmos now has a new Bonus Short Story: Faces of Shadow, focusing on Bomonga. Work is underway on the RPG, as detailed in the Bones Blog. And incidentally, if you want a more-often-updated source for news on the Paracosmos, I suggest you track that blog.

The Lewa Epic is now posted!. Agents of Surrender is the seventh episode in the Paracosmos, and the second of the epics so far (most of the stories after this point will most likely be epics too). The Review topic is here. With 23 chapters, I'm planning on posting one a week, and in the meantime Ojhilom and I will be working like crazy on the second half of the RPG.

I've also just posted the Bionicle Paracosmos Collection Topic, The Tapestry of Time, which will function as the single place for me to post links to new stories as they come up. Track it if you want to follow the Paracosmos as the mystery unravels!

Drumroll please! The RPG (Part 1) is now online! Enjoy, everybody! And please post in the topic with any feedback. Also, if you find any glitches, typos, etc. mention them, and they will be edited in a later release. Drumroll can stop now.

Excellent news! The RPG (Part 1) is almost done, and so I've gone ahead with the last of the four short stories before it; Short Story #4: Mystery in the Desert! Also, I never got around to posting news for it, but I have posted a bonus short story as well, jumping ahead in the story quite a ways to focus on Takanuva; Bonus Short Story: Sacrifice. Enjoy, and keep your eyes peeled for The Map of Mata Nui, coming soon to an RPG forum near you!

Some good news and some bad news. Good news first, the game has come along nicely, and I think it's time to move forward with the storyline. So the next episode of the Paracosmos is now up: Short Story number 3: The Noble Deep. Unfortunately, my scanner is broken, and I have very little time right now, so there won't be any "special feature" images for this episode, at least not right away. Also, I simply have not had the time I'd hoped I'd have to work on the Reference section, so I hope you can forgive its terrible lack of new information. On the bright side, I hope to bring you the fourth short story, and then the RPG soon!

After two months of waiting, the next episode in the Paracosmos is up: Short Story 2: Emissary of Earth! This episode ties in with Epic 1, continuing the story of Whenua's discovery, and Onua taking the news to Ko-Koro. Also check out this episode's Timeline Page and The Art of Emissary of Earth.

The second episode of the Paracosmos, Short Story 1: The Folly of Fire, has been posted! Also, "special features" art and reference can be found on its Timeline Page, and the topic for The Art of the Folly of Fire has been posted. Enjoy!

A major milestone in the story of the Paracosmos has been reached. Epic 1, The Sword is but the Focus, is now complete, with all eleven chapters posted!

Several updates to this website have also been completed. Mainly, the Timeline Page for Epic 1 has been completed! It features a complete (although there may yet be additions in the future) reference list for the epic, with background details galore, free of spoilers from future episodes, an Alphabetic Pronunciation Guide, the BZP sig code for the Support banners, and of course the credits list.

A partially complete Tools Page now exists in the Reference section. Most of the Epic 1 Timeline entries don't yet have corresponding entries in the Reference section, but some do. Also, a bonus Matoran has been added to the Characters page; Akohre the Scholar, the writer of the various versions of "Akohre's Exhaustive Guide to the Wall of Prophecy" mentioned in the Writings section of the Culture page.
