Fan Fiction is what happens when somebody gets way too into a movie or a game and become an ultimate nerd by writing an imaginary story based on the lives of the characters in the computer game. I am here to tell you that there is no such thing as being too into a computer game if that game happens to be Savage Empire.
This awesome savage Empire nerd who calls him/herself BLUECLAW wrote fan fiction based on Jimmy Malone from Savage Empire!! This is the most amazing piece of news I've heard in a long time. The story is called "The journalist and the Sea" and it's full of unprecedented nerdiness and lines like, "“Where’s Mulder and Scully when you need ‘em?” Jimmy whispered to himself." The story finds Jimmy Malone in hard times. Here is an excerpt:
"Jimmy’s story had been top selling news for a number of months, gaining him many an interview with personages such as Letterman and O’Brien - he’d even been offered to star in a movie called ‘Savage Empire’ - but as with all great stories, it had faded into mediocrity with the inevitable passing of time, eventually winking out of existence entirely. The scientific community spoke only silence as to the progress of efforts in reaching Eodon. With the adventure’s novelty faded Jimmy’s fame and good fortune."
It is like a thousand chapters long and must have taken more than a year to write. It['s also written by someone with an excellent vocabulary, AKA someone who isn't a little kid. The story features the wisp, Jimmy's love life, Rafkin, pirates, and gargoyles. It will take you about an hour to read it. No joke. Other Ultima Fan Fiction is equally nerd-core and I promise you will either love it or be amazed that an adult could want to write so much about a computer game.
Come to me, my curs. Come to your deaths. he brooded morbidly.
That is an actual line in this golden piece of writing.
The only complaint I have is why he chose to write about Jimmy Malone, the lamest character in Savage Empire. I'd even rather have had him write about Rafkin, even though that would be boring as hell to read. If you want to read a whole NOVEL about Jimmy Malone post-Savage Empire, this is your best bet.
There's also a play written about Ultima's Shamino. I found all of this on the best Savage Empire site ever, Dino's Savage Empire page.
