Fahzyr: Nah I'll just email you.

Hey there!

I noticed that you've been interested in the FreeRIDErs series for quite a while. I haven't heard much from any of the authors lately, so if you're interested in working on some stories together, please let me know.

I'm a Chicagoan who writes for fun. I joined this site in November of 2013 and have been lurking ever since. Although I've just started writing myself, I have been reading things for quite some time.

I'm mostly here because FreeRIDErs series. Hopefully I can get a few stories done soon. (Honestly, I'm a pretty abysmal writer, but...hey, at least it's probably better than that Dan Brown crap.)

Also, I can be found on the TSA-Talk mailing list.

=={{separator|f|Setting Overview}}==
[[Image:CatGirls.jpg|thumb|300px|Kaylee and Uncia in battle dress, by Marty Salsman (http://martysalsman.deviantart.com)]]In the 25th century, scientists and technicians on the distant colony world of Zharus make a startling breakthrough in energy storage and artificial intelligence, with the aid of "qubitite," a naturally-occurring metamaterial with remarkable quantum properties. The creation of true AI springs from quantum simulations of neural networks based on animals' genetic material that expand to take on true sapience.

Matching these "Reticulated Intelligence" (RI) neural networks with nanotech-composite "Drive Extender" (DE) transforming robotic bodies produces the RIDE: a metallic animal that can transform itself into a vehicle such as a hover-motorcycle (or hover-car or even plane for larger animals), or into an environmentally sealed suit of anthropomorphic-animal body armor to survive the extreme environments of Zharus's deserts, undersea, or even outer space. (Because combining with such a suit goes beyond merely putting it on and involves elements of physical and neural linkage, the act of merging with a RIDE in armor mode is called "Fusing.") Thanks to "hardlight" technology, RIDEs can even be covered with solid holographic fur that feels real to the touch, and even to the RIDE itself.

However, due to their animal basis, Fusing with a RIDE can have consequences for the pilot. In order for them to be neurologically compatible, the pilot has to have similar physical features to the RIDE itself—and the RIDE's nanotech innards are designed to grant those changes. This means that Fusing with RIDEs based on ordinary land mammals will grant the rider their ears and tail (and sometimes more extreme additions such as nose, eyes, or fur).

RIDEs based on further different animals, such as reptiles, birds, or undersea mammals, can produce much extreme changes in their riders that restrict their ability to change back or combine with a different RIDE. And likewise, if the pilot is the wrong gender, the RIDE's nanites will adjust that, too. In most cases of gender or other extreme change, the changed human is unable to safely change back for at least three years.

These RIDEs are used in taming the huge continent of Gondwana, a harsh and often lawless frontier that, unlike the more sedate and longer-settled continent of Laurasia, has many rich resources there for the taking, and a number of city-states occupying the ring of fertile land around the great central desert. In the desert, RIDEs are necessary to live. In the cities, they are urban transportation and playthings of the wealthy and middle-class alike. But even as they are considered mere "equipment" by many, those who know and love them know they are more than that—they are ''people'' too. Will the world come to realize and acknowledge this?

[[Image:Uncia-Harlan-Stein.jpg|thumb|150px|Uncia in battle dress, by Diana Harlan Stein (http://naiadstudios.com)]]In recent years, rumors of a new form of change have been circulating—a combining of rider and RIDE that goes far beyond Fusing. Called "Integration," this combines man and machine into a single gestalt being who can no longer separate—and who are rumored to possess powers far beyond those of mere mortals or RIDEs. It is as yet unclear whether these "Integrates" are to be welcomed or feared—and, indeed, many would place them in the same category as Bigfoot, the Yeti, or the Loch Ness Monster. But these Integrates may be growing tired of keeping to themselves.

And the latest potential threat may very well be the old home world of Earth itself. For fifty years, it has scoffed at the idea that a distant, backward world like Zharus could be the home of so many major technological breakthroughs. But Earth's mind may be changing on that score—and it has long been known for its willingness to reach out and take what it wants.

Welcome to the world of Zharus—and to its denizens. Colonists. Bandits. Miners. Mechanics. ''FreeRIDErs.''

=={{separator|f|Suggested Reading Order}}==

===Robotech_Master's Take===
As this is a shared universe, there could be plenty of jumping-on points. '''The very best way to read it would probably be by publication order,''' since that would give you the same effect as the people who were reading it in real time from the beginning. '''There's a list available [[FreeRIDErs (publication order)|here]].'''

Otherwise, I suggest reading "Deserted", "Merging Traffic", "Rochelle & Rufia: R&R", then "FreeRIDErs", then the first few chapters of "Integration" (and my "Foxed" tales), as those were all written earliest and have most of the earliest setting building in them. Then you can read Jetfire's and the other authors' stories in chronological order, and continue reading "Integration" after that. (Probably should leave "Second-Hand Lioness" until after Integration #21, otherwise some events in the main story could be spoiled.)

I'd suggest to have all of Jetfire's chronologically-earlier stuff read before you get to Integration #14, since that's where some of his characters merge into the storyline. That being said, you could probably just as easily read everything in straight chronological order without missing ''too'' much. Or just pick one writer at random and read his or her works through in order, then pick another one. Once you've read enough, it all starts to make sense together.

Either way, you should read at least some of the stories before you try to dig into the setting background material below the story list on this page. It was mainly written for our own reference and amusement while we built the setting overall, and can be kind of confusing if you come to it without a grounding from the stories in how the world works.

===Claude LeChat's two cents ===

I went a different way myself. ''Deserted'' and ''Merging Traffic'' are of course the mandatory first two, since they introduce the setting and all the most important characters. Then you're free to read e.g. the first three ''Inspecteur Hollins'' stories. But not the fourth, not yet!

Before jumping into the pivotal novel ''Integration'', you'll probably want to read ''FreeRIDErs'', since it provides a crucial bit of background, and possibly ''All Spark Bulletin'', since it's a good introduction to the Munns. But you can't go wrong with any of Jetfire's prequel stories. Fibio's ''Turnover'' will give you a good idea of the spaceship tech in the series, as well as being an emotional story in itself.

Last but not least, ''Barely Fused, Slightly Foxed'' and ''Longer Fused, More Foxed'' fill in a couple of holes in the aforementioned ''Integration'', but you can safely read them afterwards since they're unrelated but for the characters. As for ''Wolves in the Fold, Part One: A Wolf at the Door'', it makes for a nice "outboard epilogue" to the novel.

Stories that can stand on their own, for readers who aren't familiar with the franchise:

* ''Madison Brubeck and the Spotted Stowaway'', but it arguably cheats because it's a spin-off;
* ''As a Woman I RIDE'';
* My own ''Alpha Camp'', if you don't mind minor spoilers for how the conflict of ''Integration'' unfolds.

Since we've started going back and revising the early portions of the story to bring the into line with what we wrote later, we have decided to preserve early drafts when they are changed sufficiently to merit a separate presentation. For most of these (but not "FreeRIDErs"), you can also use the "History" function to see what changed.

He loved his job. He loved his life. The walls of his office were decorated with awards and diplomas, a testament to the passion he had for science and learning. Through the years, he had made many significant discoveries. However, the most important one, he kept to himself.

However, as time went on, he became more and more isolated. He was always alone. He was depressed. He didn't have time for a family, and most of his friends were dead.

It was almost ten in the evening.

An old man in a white coat stepped into the lab. He was almost seventy, with salt-and-pepper hair. He had an occupation as a biologist for more than forty years. It had been a long career for him, perhaps too long.
Today was his last day working. He had already cleaned out his desk and said his farewells to the coworkers. He had just returned to pick up a few last things.

He strolled along, surveying the the long rows of cabinets and equipment for the last time. He picked up a syringe and a laptop and stuffed it into his briefcase. As he left, he took off his lab coat and put it on a hanger. He turned around for one final look at the room. He was going to miss it. Then, he got into his car, and drove home.

He had already planned his retirement, and after his death, arranged for all of his property to be sold and the money to be donated away. However, since his retirement was a rather unusual one, he decided to leave a message, as an attempt to dispel any conspiracies.

The old man set up a camera in his living room.

"I'm Doctor Sebastian Mayr." he said, sitting down on his sofa. "Today is the the eighteenth of November..."

The next morning, he drove to the airport and boarded a plane to Vancouver. Upon arrival, he rented a car and drove in the general direction of north. After a few hours of driving, he parked his car off the side of an old, dusty road. He abandoned it in a ditch among the trees. The old man scrambled around, covering the car with a dark cloth, to avoid attracting any attention.

Sebastian retrieved his syringe from his pocket. This liquid was his last project. A bit of genetic material from a local canine and some heavily modified virus. He took a deep breath. This was going to be one hell of a retirement.

He planted the needle in his arm, and emptied it into his veins. He waited a few moments, and began to feel a bit drowsy. He had added some sedatives just in case it might get painful. He signed again and shut his eyes.

When he woke up, the sun was just about to set. He was lying on the ground.

Damn, he thought. It didn't work.

But when Sebastian tried to get up, he fell right back down, barked in pain.

Wait. He barked. He ''barked''! Humans don't bark!

He looked about cautiously, and was shocked at the sight of his own body. But just then, he remembered, and his feeling of surprise left him.

The Great Doctor Sebastian Mayr was no more. He struggled for a bit, and then managed to get up on all fours. What stood there was a young coyote, with tawny gray fur.

Even though he was an animal, he was still conscious and sentient. He took some apprehensive steps. Great, his legs were working. He tested his voice next. He tried to say "hello", but, not surprisingly, what came out was merely an unintelligible howl.

Sebastian was pleased. A bit shocking, but exciting too. His new life was probably going to last about a decade or so, about the same if he had lived the rest of his life normally. But his old life was pointless. This was a lot more fun than sitting around, waiting to die of old age. This was going to be one hell of an adventure!

Fahzyr: Added a story - The Retirement

Hello World!

I joined in November of 2013. Although I have just started writing myself, I have been reading for quite some time.

Often, when I read, I would come across stories with great potential, only to find that it was poorly-planned, with random jumps. I understand how frustrating this can be, therefore, I will try my best to finish every story in a coherent and understandable manner.

Please give me feedback! They are really helpful for a budding writer. Thanks!

Fahzyr: Hello World

Hello World!

I started writing fairly recently, in November of 2013. Although I have just joined, I have been reading for quite some time. Many times, when I was reading, I would come across stories with great potential, only to find that it was poorly-planned, and contains random jumps and bad grammar. Therefore, I will try my best to not include mindless obscenities, but actually write something which is coherent and interesting.

Please give me feedback! It's really helpful for a newbie writer! I don't bite...hard. Thanks.
