* Recommended by @/DigiFlame
* The Platform/BZPower Library is home to the Fan Fics of many brilliant (and not so brilliant) authors. However, anyone with an account can post one so quality is always suspect, but there are some real gems. The site also has a rather expansive RPG community if one considers that their cup of tea.
** Became part of the Archive, so stories here aren't updated anymore, unless they got carried over to the new [=BZPower=] Library.

* Recommended by @/CrimsonFlight
* Due to the move to a new forum software, [=BZPower=] ended up with a new Library, where one can find fanfics of varying quality. The Library is also split into three categories: Epics for long sagas or multi-chaptered serious fiction, Short Stories for [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin short stories]], and Comedies for the more humourous stories.

[[http://custombionicle.wikia.com/wiki/Custom_BIONICLE_Wiki Custom Bionicle Wiki]]
* Recommended by @/PrehistoricEchoes
* It is a site that has quite the user base and many well written fanfics. Of course, Sturgeon's Law applies. Stories range from short poems and novellas to books, novels, and even multi-novel epics.

* Recommended by @/{{nightelf37}}
* Ever wanted to read the entire BIONICLE story in one place? Biological Chronicle is the entire thing – books, serials, podcasts, etc., all comics that contain story not covered elsewhere, and links to video content – all combined into a flowing narrative, with typos fixed, formatting made consistent, and minor continuity errors edited out. This compilation is divided into 10 "Books", or volumes, each containing roughly one year’s story.

* ''Synopsis'': Takes ''Mask of Light'' combined with AnimatedActors, and the filming process GoneHorriblyWrong.
* ''Comments'': The author didn't realize the movie had ''two'' directors before publishing this chapter. He still stuck with what he came out with.
** Seconded by {{Tropers/Tyrannotitan}}. Hilarious parody with lots of great moments. The author has also done spoofs for the [[http://www.bzpower.com/forum/index.php?act=ST&f=27&t=153268 second]], [[http://www.bzpower.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=193328 third]] and [[http://www.bzpower.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=312159 fourth]] movies which are just as good, if not better.

''The Tournament of Shadows: Absolute Chronicle'' by Kumata Nuva
* Recommended by Sayacha
* ''Status'': Vanished from the internet. Please post a link if found.
* ''Synopsis'': Set before the Brotherhood of Makuta's betrayal, the fic tells the story of a member of the Order of Mata Nui, named Syneon. Syneon is tasked with checking out a strange event that occurs once a year, called the "Tournament of Shadows", which, as the name suggests, is a large tournament for the scum of the earth to pit themselves against each other in, all for a mysterious, fabulous prize at the end. ''Much'' better than it sounds, and actually is ''not'' the average, run-of-the-mill tournament story. Updated every Sunday.
* ''Comments'': Very well-written, and using a cast made up pretty much entirely of fan-characters, many of which are on loan from other people. Syneon is a very likable protagonist and realistically struggles to fit in with the unsavory characters he's forced to put up with for the time being. It stretches into filler on a few occasions, but mainly for the purpose of mapping out the island and setting the stage for later events instead of just jumping straight into the action. It also manages to have a female character in a mostly male setting who for once is not just the TokenGirl. Overall, a very enjoyable read and one that has obviously had quite a lot of thought and work put into it.

* Recommended by Alienhunter, Sayacha
* ''Status'': Complete
* ''Synopsis'': Through a freak occurrence, a young human girl is transported to the Bionicle world. There, she makes new friends, has many adventures, and discovers amazing powers.
* ''Comments'': Very well-written, it is a great opening for the rest of the author's stories. Kit is a very likeable protagonist, and the fic has many great characters.
** It's worth noting that unlike the vast majority of humans-trapped-in-the-Bionicle-world stories, Kit manages to avoid being a Mary Sue while still being capable and strong in an unfamiliar setting. The fic itself is also thoughtfully detailed, and the author neatly ties her OC in with the canon storyline in all of her stories.

''[[http://www.bzpower.com/board/index.php?showtopic=2101 Ignition]]'' by Legolover-361
* Recommended by @/CrimsonFlight
* ''Status'': Complete
* ''Synopsis'': A dark one-shot that follows Nuparu and his musings as he creates the Vahki as a replacement for the Kralhi, which turned against its masters.
* ''Comments'': I came upon it by accident, and I loved it. It may have been a bit long, but it was rather refreshing to see a story about BIONICLE that concentrated less on heroism and justice and more on the darker aspects of the series. Nuparu may seem slightly out of character, but this is pre-amnesia Nuparu and we only see the lighter side of his inventing, never the darker part.

''[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Fanfic/XaterexMultiverseStoryline Xaterex Multiverse Storyline]]'' by Varkanax39
* Recommended by @/PrehistoricEchoes
* ''Status'': Complete
* ''Synopsis'': A series of books spanning about seven full-length novels, the story chronicles the adventures of a Toa named Shardak and a rebellion against a dark force known as the Ix Empire. Widely considered well written by CBW users.
* ''Comments'': I first read bits and pieces of the series' second or third book ''The Shadows Coil,'' and became an active follower of the storyline afterwards. Some of the earlier works take their inspiration from the Hunger Games, but later novels take on an entire new life. The final novel, ''Eternal Darkness'' was recently finished and is currently the longest page on its respective site.

''[[http://www.bzpower.com/board/topic/12172-the-destiny-of-bionicle/ The Destiny of Bionicle]]'' by bonesiii
* Recommended by
* ''Status'': Dormant
* ''Synopsis'': A re-telling of the Bionicle storyline, told from the perspective of a matoran [[spoiler: who came into existence before matoran were even originally built]], who traverses the universe and witnesses many of its major events and at times even becomes an important component of them.
* ''Comments'': I came across this epic on [=BZPower=], and although it took time to really get interesting, it managed to instantly hook me with its initial mystery of the matoran's origin. From there, it just keeps getting better, and it is updated monthly, as well as highly fun to read. Through the protagonist, bonesiii brings a new perspective of the Bionicle storyline in to play, and ties it together in a way that I'm not sure has really been done before with a single unifying character. I definitely recommend it for reading.

* Recommended by TimeLordVictorious
* ''Status'': Dormant
* ''Synopsis'': An AU fic where Makuta Teridax never existed, which is visited by a few (non-canon) characters from the Core Universe. Many things are different in this universe as a result of Teridax's absence.
* ''Comments'': It's been several years since I have been a hardcore Bionicle fan, but this gritty and cynical storyline is some of the best fan fic I've ever read, with some of it being better. It has well-developed characters, interesting ideas and concepts, gritty undertones, the stories are some of the longest pages on the site, and it's just overall great storytelling. Some of the stories and articles are unfinished or undergoing a rewrite, so keep that in mind if something seems out of place.

''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3p2HCLiDxo Bionicle Ignition: Island of Doom]]'' by [=BionicleNP=] / Noah Productions
* Recommended by Golden Keyblade
* ''Status'': Complete
* ''Synopsis'': A full-length film that tells the 2006 Bionicle story in the form of stop motion. Picking up right where ''Bionicle: Mask of Light'' left off, we find the forces of good and evil seeking out the most powerful mask in existence, the Kanohi Ignika. Featuring the Piraka, the Toa Nuva, the Toa Inika, and locations such as Voya Nui, Karzahni, and Metru Nui.
* ''Comments'': One of the longest Bionicle fan films, clocking in at nearly two hours in length, the story manages to faithfully adapt the entirety of the Voya Nui arc into the ''Bionicle 4'' we never got. While a few parts of the voice work could be improved, the animation is pretty good for stop-motion and the overall project feels solid.

''[[https://www.deviantart.com/nickonplanetripple/art/The-Toa-Cover-705137149 The Toa- A Bionicle Retelling]]'' by [[https://www.deviantart.com/nickonplanetripple NickOnPlanetRipple]]
* Recommended by [=Goldenguy880=]
* ''Status'': Complete
* ''Synopsis'': A WebComic that condenses several key elements of Bionicle's story into one simple, cohesive narrative. Starts with an apparent adaptation of the 2001 Mata Nui arc, but diverges dramatically from canon about halfway through. Made by the creator of ''ComicBook/PlanetRipple'' and ''WebVideo/LEGORewind''.
* ''Comments'': You don't have to be a Bionicle fan or expert to read this. Like the best of the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse films, this comic pulls elements from across the original's sprawling history and continuity, and turns them into a great story that anyone can enjoy - in the creator's words, "Streamlining it without cheapening it." Contains many differences from the G1 canon, but they only make the story more interesting and unique, and create some truly surprising plot twists. The creator also includes some interesting commentary about what Bionicle has meant to him, and his love for it really shines through. Highly recommended.

* Recommended by [=Goldenguy880=]
* ''Status'': Dead
* ''Synopsis'': A WebComic sequel to the G1 storyline, set [[DistantSequel thousands of years after]] the events of the original story.
* ''Comments'': A reboot of the creator's unfinished [[https://www.deviantart.com/nickonplanetripple/journal/The-problems-with-Bionicle-Nova-Orbis-826736630 original version]][[note]]This page contains some mild spoilers if you want to go in completely blind[[/note]] of this concept. This troper has not read the original, but so far the new version looks to be a fascinating exploration of how much the world and people of Spherus Magna have changed over the millennia. And if the creator's other Bionicle web comic [[https://www.deviantart.com/nickonplanetripple/art/The-Toa-Cover-705137149 The Toa]] is anything to go by, this series will be an excellent story.

* Recommended by [=Warmaster23rat=]
* Status: Ongoing
* Synopsis: A fic set after Teridax's death, focusing on two of the Makuta's former Matoran servants, Ahkmou and Gavla, as they try to navigate their new lives on Spherus Magna-only to find that even in death, Teridax's shadow is not so easily escaped from...
* ''Comments '': An excellent read that explores Ahkmou's and Gavla's characters, not to mention providing a plausible continutation to the storyline.

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7770307/1/Frustration Frustration]]'' by C-Unknown
* Recommended by Sayacha
* ''Status'': Complete
* ''Synopsis'': The Toa are victorious, and the building of a new life on Spherus Magna has begun. Tahu stands as a leader for his people, but as strife brews within their fragile society, Gali fears he may not be able to handle these challenges alone. Tahu/Gali.
* ''Comments'': A piece that looks at one possible side to relations between the inhabitants of Aqua and Bara Magna [[spoiler: once the great migration has taken place and Teridax is dead]]. It starts out bleak, but true to character, Gali manages to lift things up in the end and create a nice HopeSpot that you honestly believe in. Tahu is a little out of character, but there is a ''very'' good reason for this in the story, so it's no issue at all. Most definitely worth reading.
