Interesting stuff Taure. My theory had it's points, but it looks like that's not what Butcher had in mind; of course that still leaves open the possibility that Alerans are human aliens rather than actual humans; that reconciles Butcher's comments on nothing being native to Carna with the Carna=Earth theory.

 

It's also been stated the the first Alerans were a Roman Legion, that was somehow transported to Carna. So no.

 

Damnation! I spent fifteen minutes coming up with the Earth-is-Carna theory ... fifteen minutes of my life wasted!

Oh well, the books are still awesome.

 

Spoiler

My theory on that was that a Roman legion or two was sheltering in some abandoned roman town that had been destroyed by said Germans who had moved on. Then the Bermuda Triangle effect kicked in and transplanted the entire town into Carna, buildings, people and the dirt they stood on.

 

This. THIS!

Oh, an Cursor chick that was originally with Isana. Sarei? Serai?

The main problem I see with Alera fiction; The Vord. Leave them out, and its all good. Include them and its all just boring. Vord: Butcher's worst idea yet. :/ Alien made organic tech in fantasy land. yaaay.

Inb4alrdybensed; Fuck you all I didnt read the thread. I just skimmed.

Oh. Tavi/Odiana > all.

 

So I was trying to find fics on FFN for Codex Aler.

I searched here:

http://www.fanfiction.net/book/

and I didn't even find Codex Alera as a selection. How are people going to write Fanfics on Codex Alera when it is not even an option?

Who do you have to talk to get it listed on FFN?

I checked out that live journal link earlier, there is like 2 fics. And not exactly amazing thats for sure.

Are there any codex alera fics on DLP?

 

We have discussed earlier in the thread how difficult it would be to write a good Alera fic. So no theres not any to my knowledge.

 

I've looked several times using the search engine. I haven't found any at all.

 

Same here, I searched like 10x, but I couldn't find anything. Its pretty sad, because you would think any book with a barbarian girl would be popular for a good write.

As for it being hard to write a good Codex Alera fanfic, that's really too bad, there are a lot of writters here. It seems like its such a shame for it to go to waste.

 

FF idea

Using the earlier idea for a FF instead of Isana dying what if Bernard had died or if Isana's sister had lived. This could cause a huge change in plot with keping Tavi's personality.
