History FanficRecs / Bionicle

* The Website/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.

* ''Comments '': An excellent read that explores Ahkmou's and Gavla's characters.

You can also add to the current recommendations if you want. Refrain from posting Administrivia/ConversationInTheMainPage though; that goes in the discussion page. ''No-name recommendations will be '''{{zapped}}'''.'' Nobody would back up the rec. Discussion of the recommendation is welcome on the discussion page. As such discussion is important, do remember to add the discussion page to the watchlist, if need be.

Proof that [[SturgeonsLaw the remaining 10% is worth getting cast into eternal sleep for]] here.

Do warn when a fanfic may head into [[BetterThanCanon non-canon]] territory. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, {{Shipping}} is SeriousBusiness.

* ''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 BetterThanCanon. 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.

* ''Status'': Ongoing

* ''Status'': Dormant

* ''Synopsis'': A WebComic that condenses several key elements of Bionicle's story into one simple, cohesive narrative. Starts with an apparent adaptation of the 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 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.

** It is. The voice editing could use a little work, but the story and animation are both very smooth. The theme song, however, is [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Made Of Awesome]].

** Became part of the Archive, so stories here aren't updated anymore, unless they got carried over to the new BZPower Library.

* 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.

* ''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.

''[[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.

* ''Comments'': Very well-written, and using a cast made up pretty much entirely of fancharacters, 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.

* 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.

* ''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.

* ''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.
