Bibliography in Publishing Order

Footnotes [1] "Novlet" is Larry Niven's preferred term for an especially long short story, which we use here in preference to the "novelette" and "novella" categories. Many regard the separation between those two categories as artificial or meaningless. [2] This is a reprint from the Ringworld Roleplaying Game— Creatures Book, pp. 22-24 and The Ringworld Companion, pp. 13-14. These are parts of the game's narrative portion, written by John Hewitt.

The canonical story "Fly-By-Night" directly refers to events in this story, and in fact summarizes the plot. Therefore Ye Editor considers this a historical chronicle, and "semi-canonical", rather than a fictional story like the other non-canonical MKW stories.
