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!
Friday, September 5th Update: Echoes Long Forgotten, Part Four: Cunning
News
Wednesday, September 3rd: Fun fact. If you think you can attend a wedding, and still make a Monday update… you can't. Really. In the future, I'm going to try writing in advance, but I've been a touch busy on that front. So very, very busy.
Monday, August 18th: Geez, I'm bad at Mondays.
Monday, August 11th: Still technically Monday! Hahah! Also, tommorow is my birthday. Scary.
In other news, I have added an Other Links page to the site, which includes links to my other Internet hideouts, and will possibly include random writings that are not Champions-related. Also links to anything I get published.
Finally, I have gone into the forums and posted replies to the month-old comments that I should have taken part in ages ago. July was a very, very busy month, and August is looking to be equally crazy. Wish me luck!
Monday, August 4th: Ok, we are back. We should remain that way.
Monday, July 28th: Alright, here's the story. My cat is very ill; there's a good chance that I won't have her much longer. For obvious reasons, I am finding it difficult to be very funny right now, and haven't been able to write an update. I'm taking the week off to get my head together; Picking Up The Pieces will resume next Monday.
Oddly appropriate name, all things considered.
Wednesday, July 23rd: No update today. Explanation will be forthcoming.
Monday, July 21st: Cast updates were extremely partial. Still underway.
Friday, July 18th: And with this mysteriously foreshadowing entry, Tear The World Apart has ended. I will try to update the Cast listings over the weekend. :)
Friday, July 11th: Short update, but it totally exists. Hahah!
Tuesday, July 8th: Urrggh. Heavy work week + busy weekend + absurd heatwave = a tangled mass of useless writing that's un-put-uppable. There will be an update Wednesday, once I kick grammar's ass.
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*
