''[[http://cosas.ttlg.com/cot.asp Correspondence of Thieves]]'' by Digital Nightfall et al
* Recommended by {{Tropers/ZemplinTemplar}}
* ''Synopsis'': A Garrett-less, original storyline featuring a group of thieves in The City. Based on an [[PlayByPostGame email-based role-play]] (e-play) conducted in 1999 & 2000 between five individuals brought together by their love of the first ''Thief'' game. The five authors took turns telling the story from the perspective of invented characters until a complete adventure was told, and then posted online one chapter at a time. In 2005, Digital Nightfall chose to rewrite the e-play into a novel. The novel expands upon and revises the plot of the original roleplay, while remaining true to the personalities of the five who invented it.
* ''Comments'': I think this is one of the best (and owing to its origins, one of the most unusual) fan-written projects set (somewhat vaguely) in the ''Thief'' universe. It's all the better because it avoids being a predictably derivative work with Garrett as the main star. And given its serial-like nature, it's not exactly a brief fanfic, so you'll have plenty of story to read on a long-term basis.

* ''Comments'': It's hard to believe the author when she claims that she didn't particularly care for the character... because she nailed it down ''perfectly''. This fic will remind you just how scary and ''alien'' (yet sympathetic in a strange way) Viktoria really is.

[[WMG:Fan Missions]]
''Fan-made missions that can be played by using either [[http://thief.wikia.com/wiki/DarkLoader DarkLoader]] OR [[http://thief.wikia.com/wiki/GarrettLoader GarrettLoader.]] Some campaigns require extra files and most of those can be found [[http://www.ttlg.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=65 here at the TTLG forums.]]''

''[[http://thiefmissions.com/m/calendra Calendra's Cistern]]'' (Thief 1) and it's sequel, ''[[http://thiefmissions.com/m/Calendras_Legacy_v1a Calendra's Legacy]]'' (Thief 2) by Team Calendra
* Recommended by Tropers/{{justanid}}
* ''Synopsis'': It starts when Lady Calendra invites Garrett to an exclusive party... and quickly goes downhill from there.
* ''Comments'': Takes place over 7 missions and is of one of the best examples of a fan-campaign to date. Nearly everything is customized, from the health shields to the sounds, to the multiple movies (even if they are a little cheesy). The first level of "Legacy" even features a hidden mini-''TabletopGame/TombOfHorrors''.

''[[http://thiefmissions.com/m/invman The Inverted Manse]]'' (Thief 2) by David Riegel (Sledge)
* Recommended by Tropers/{{justanid}}
* ''Synopsis'': Sequel to ''[[http://thiefmissions.com/m/cultv1 Cult of the Resurrection]]'' (Thief 1), Garrett tracks down the origin of the Spirit Stone he stole to a Hammerite mining town.
* ''Comments'': Three missions in one (instead of the usual different difficulties) that take alternate routes through the same areas, plus some exclusives. Full intro and outro videos, custom audio, the works. It's not bloated like some longer fan-campaigns, each of the three missions can be completed in a decent time-frame.

''[[http://www.thief2x.com/ T2X: Shadows of the Metal Age]]'' (Thief 2) by [[http://www.thief2x.com/credits/ multiple creators]]
* Recommended by Tropers/{{justanid}}
* ''Synopsis'': The plot follows where ''Thief 2'' leaves off, but with a new protagonist named Zaya.
* ''Comments'': This 13 mission fan-campaign is one of the longest to date. Entertaining plot, great level design, multiple videos for each mission, Zaya has her own sound-set, and even a detailed walkthrough is available if running into trouble. It has nearly everything an entire commercially developed ''Thief'' game should have, [[KitchenSinkIncluded kitchen sinks included]].

[[WMG:[[GenFic General Fics]]]]
''Stories focused on the family and the friendly relationships of the cast. Plot-focused stories or light day-in-the-life stories. Pretty much anything that isn't focused on romance.''

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7730752/1/The_Jackal]]'' by Rednightmare
* Recommended by {{Tropers/Murus}}
* ''Synopsis'': A look into the mind of Viktoria, showing her perspective during her suicide attack on Soulforge. Takes a slight departure from how it was depicted in canon (the cutscene at the start of the Sabotage at Soulforge mission), but it's nothing major and shouldn't be jarring. Oneshot fic, though a fairly long one.
* ''Comments'': It's hard to believe the author when he claims that he didn't particularly care for the character... because he nailed it down ''perfectly''. This fic will remind you just how scary and ''alien'' (yet sympathetic in a strange way) Viktoria really is.
