I am not sure if it would qualify as being a story, but I ought to mention the Space Empires Galaxies (http://www.tescosamoa.com/seiv/modules.php?name=Forums&file=index) game. The URL refers to the forum, in which you will find some roleplays.

OK, found it now. Needs to be a little more clearly signposted imho, but just had a little read of some of those old stories:
S_J's capture operation - this is the one that (if I remember rightly) really kicked off fanfic on this forum. It was certainly one of the big inspirations for me to start writing.
RoRhemoraz - What can I say? I remember sitting down to read the enitire thing end to end once- and thoroughly enjoying it. One of the great things about that story is that it improves as it progresses, you can see the author's writing style get better and better with practise.
Xenology - *snif*. Just re-read it and damn it was good. There was real promise there.
War for the Stars- Another epic, and in nice, buite-sized chunks too. Really enjoyed that one, but got left behind. Maybe a re-read is in order...
Dawn of A New Era - Never read this before, but just been through it now and I'm really impressed. Great writing.
The Walkers- I remember reading the first few Posts of this as well, and thinking it was extremely good. Lots of back-story and history, and a really good study of another civilisation.
hevordian- If I remeber that was an ambitious story family and evolving psychics and all kinds of neat stuff. Another one for the re-read list.
NGC II- Never read it before, but I've just looked at the first page and I think I'm going to have to read the rest now.
Cryslonite Empire- Extremely skillful sci-fi, really like (and envy) that one.
Sadly, almost all of these stories are unfinished. What is it with us ppl that we can't finish our stories? (I count myself as one of the worst offenders)
Also, will the original multiplayer collective writing by PBW be going up on this site? I can't remember what it was called or who the writers were, only that it was an absolute epic and the other great inspiration for my own writings. There were humans playing the Norak and Fazrah, I think, and tha Xi were AI, then someone annexed the Zynarra and kicked off a massive war, and it was all just great stuff to read. This was a few years ago now... Does anyone know what I'm talking about, or do I need to stop taking LSD before bedtime?
But still,, thanks to all involved for bringing all these brilliant stories together. Maybe it will inspire some of the writers to complete them..? My KanesS never actually made (or at least, never wrote about) contact with any of the other human players in xenology, so I'm sorely tempted to start a single-player game with those races and continue the story. Or screw the game and just write=-)

Part II was never really finished, but again it's still one of the best Fanfiction's out there. I believe it's only rivalled by History of the Galaxy I, NGC II and Rise of the Remorhaz.
And if it makes you sad because it was never finished rest assured half the SEIV Fanfiction isn't finished http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
EDIT: If you wish i can take down your parts in that story, but i still think it should stay, it's still an epic read and supasses History of the Galaxy I because of the huge ammount of writers taking part and it was great to see all the stories connect together. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

This thread had an interesting result, it decided both dogscof and me to get back on xenology. We restarted the game a few weeks ago and with some unprecedented-quick-paced-turn-action from dogscoff, we are reaching the point when we closed the first part of the story.
Good thing http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
And this despite the funniest excuse I have read from dogscoff for not posting turns for a few days :"Actually, my rabbit ate through my modem cable Last night so I was unable to get Online at home". That was worth a good laught. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

And thanks for the great time i had doing this. The compiling was tedious at times but once they were up and i could reread them it was worth it (the rest will be up soon i am hoping) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
Here's to many More stories for SEIV and the future Space Empires Series in the future http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Xenology by Various (Has been resurrected and permission is waiting for latest chapters)<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Permission is hereby granted for all my past, present and future xenology submissions. You'll have to ask UE for his though.
You can also have my chapters of the recent "lifeboat" story if you like. I was kind of hoping others would jump in on that project, but apart from Geo's chapter, no one has.
You can also take anything else from my own ficiton site (O&C, courier, TT, WFF), as long as you provide lots of prominent links back to http://www.dogscoff.co.uk/fiction

As for the "Lifeboat" I never got round to reading that http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif I'll do a search for it now and maybe post something, No promises though http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Thank you Dogscoff. I wasn't too sure on uploading yours as i didn't want to take traffic from your site. I'll Maybe post a piece with little snippets of your fiction and then a big link at the bottom of the page
<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Maybe you could rip the code from the quote-o-matic and use it as a banner..? That would be cool.
:EDIT: I think the following code ought to do it. Probably. More or less. Ish.
</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">code:</font><hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;">include the following statement INSIDE you body tag: onLoad="quote_from_dogscoff();" - not sure what to do if you already use your onLoad.
Then put the following just after the body tag:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" SRC="http://www.dogscoff.co.uk/extern.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" SRC="http://www.dogscoff.co.uk/fiction/general_functions.js"></script>
function quote_from_dogscoff()
{ // grabs a random file from dogscoff's quote-o-matic and dumps it to the frame with the ID "quote-o-matic".
var quote_frame=getElementById("quote-o-matic");
var quote_count=Get_var('sci_fi_quote_count',0);
var stem="http://www.dogscoff.co.uk/fiction/quotes/fic";
var file_extension=".htm";
quote_frame.location.href=stem+getindex(quote_coun t)+file_extension;
}
Now create a frame in your page (an Iframe might be easiest) and give it the ID "quote-o-matic". Frame must be exactly 100 pixels high and at least a few hundred wide.
Add the following lines to your stylesheet (although I dont mind you changing the details & image to suit your own page) :
body.quote{background-image: url(http://www.dogscoff.co.uk/fiction/images/scifiquoteleft.jpg); font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff; background-attachment: fixed; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: top left; font-size: 80%; color: #0A0A0A;}
p.quote{font-style: italic;}
a.quote{color: #56D9E1;}
strong{font-size: 120%; color: #0A0A0A; font-style: normal;}
#quotetext {left: 100px; position: absolute; font-style: italic;} </pre><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">
