Patchwork City. A bustling little city of just over a million souls, resting snug in their beds every night knowing that, in this world where heroes and villains battle constantly, the Accords that keep things from spiralling out of control remain firm and strong, and they can count on their heroes to protect them. The Patchwork Champions - Timebender, Lucky Lad, Handyman and Mayfly - stand eternally ready to safeguard their city, no matter what threats may rise.
And threats there are. While the notorious Dr. Ecchs (it's pronounced X, he will say with a clipped voice) sends out his dark plots from the heart of Malefico, his company in the centre of town, he and his minions - Nightshade, Phil the Monster, Dr. Ada Byron and the intern Josh - are far from the worst threat facing the city. From the mostly-incompentant Witch Doctor to the vengeful forces of the Antiheroes, from the machinations of the Oligarchs to the mysterious and slowly-unfolding plots of Rex Mundi, Patchwork City is beset on all sides by those who would wrong her.
And the heroes wouldn't be anywhere else for the world!
Updates Monday and Friday evenings.
Tuesday, February 9th Update: A Whole New World, Part Nine: Stemming The Tide
News
February 4th: Have you noticed how whenever I try to do extra work to catch up, I wind up falling behind again? Need to work on that.
January 22nd: And work claims my first week of failed updates this year. There will be two updates each day next week to balance out, with my apologies for the delays .
January 1st: Welcome to the fourth anniversary of Patchwork Champions! It should be a great year, and lots of fun. It's also a year for a big announcement - this is going to be the last year of Patchwork Champions. It's been a great year, but the truth of the matter is there's only so much I want to write about a given set of characters. Therefore, the current story arc is slated to be the last. I don't know how long it'll be - as long as it takes, but less than a year is my expectation.
It's not the end of the Patchwork Champions setting, however. I've started work on the next sequel, which will be in the same setting.
December 21st: No update for the winter solstice, on account of that's a holiday for me. There will be updates on Christmas and New Year's, though, so stay tuned. :)
December 18th: Tonight's update will be up at some point tomorrow, possibly tomorrow night.
November 30th: Alright, NaNo is over, and was not entirely successful, but given my stupid-busy work schedule, I'm calling it a win anyway. We now return to our regularly scheduled updates.
November 24th: 60-hour work weeks were sent by the Devil to hurt us. That is all.
November 19th: Second snag - instead of spending two hours writing, I spent them on the bus! Yay. So, yeah. The next serial will be up whenever I have time.
November 10th: NaNo has hit its first minor snag - training for my second job. There will be both a wiki and story update tomorrow.
November 2nd: Ladies and gentlemen, I'm officially declaring my participation in National Novel-Writing Month. Instead of an actual novel, though, I'm turning my full attention to this site. (Well, that part of my full attention not working 50 hours a week, at least). For the rest of the month, there will be an update every. single. night. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, that will be a writing update. Every other day, it will be an encyclopedia update. The first update will come when I get home from work tonight, so set your watches. Here we go!
The Serial
This site is the home of the Patchwork Champions serial stories, which update three times a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. It falls somewhere between comedy and drama, a tale of a world where superheroes and villains are regulated, and many think the regulations are weakening. Below are the basic pages you may want to go to in order to read the comic.
The Archives - Your main stop, this is where all of the old serials, as well as a link to the comic that predates this serial adventure, are stored.
The Forum - Having read through things, why not come on down and talk about them?
Canonical Information
These links are creator-designed, and meant to provide information about the setting from the creator.
Patchwork Champions Cast - A listing of every character who's appeared in Patchwork Champions.
The Encyclopedia Superium - The glossary of fun terms and facts about the setting. Updates at basically random intervals.
Non-canonical Information
These links are designed by fans who want to stick something up. They are non-canon, and although particularly awesome ones may be integrated into canon (with full credit given) due to their awesome, they may also contradict canon information.
Also, they don't exist. Yet. *ominous thunder*
