Some simply fill in gaps in the real timeline, while others create new teams and characters in a divergent timeline. At this point in time, there are *way* too many links for me to sift through and deal with. So, I'll just highlight a few major links; look through them for *tons* of links to archives, writing groups, individual stories, and the like. alt.comics.fan-fiction (8/00) URL: http://www.jps.net/nute/acffFAQ.htm URL: news:alt.comics.fan-fiction CFAN (Comic-Book Fanfic Authors' Network) (8/00) URL: http://www.subreality.com/cfan.htm URL: http://www.subreality.com/cfan/x-cfan1.htm URL: http://www.subreality.com/cfan/x-cfan2.htm URL: http://www.subreality.com/cfan/x-cfan3.htm URL: http://www.subreality.com/cfan/archives.htm Fonts of Wisdom (bootleg has the Kid Dynamo mega-story) (8/00) URL: http://home.att.net/~lubakmetyk/ URL: http://home.att.net/~lubakmetyk/bootleg.htm Mutant Underground / Revolution (3/02) URL: http://www.comixtreme.com/revolution/ MV1 Fan-Fiction Project (3/02) URL: http://www.geocities.com/hawkeye_archer/mv1/ Parallel X (1/02) URL: http://members.aol.com/parallelxmen/parallelx.html Shifting Sands (8/00) URL: http://shifting-sands.alara.net/ Wolverine X-fiction (12/00) URL: http://barbarametzger.homestead.com/WolverineXfiction.html X-Men Fan-Fiction Archive (12/00) URL: http://www.geocities.com/nightshadesplace/ The X-Men Movieverse (8/00) URL: http://www.subreality.com/movieverse.htm ------------------------------ Subject: Pictures/Sounds *** X-Men Picture and Sound Sites NOTE: If anyone knows that these sites have closed down for good or no longer accept graphics, please contact the FAQ Keeper.

There are a few different channels which might meet your needs. Get a client like mIRC or IRCle and you'll be ready to go! If you have a unix account, just try typing irc at the prompt. To get on a specific server, type /server foo.bar.net and it'll send you to that server. To join a specific channel, just type /join #channelname ... Got it? Some channel regulars also have pages.
