6	''Next Era'', which can be found at the [[http://www.next-era.net/main/ Next Era Network]] website, was a fan project based on VideoGame/MegaManX. It started with merely creating a few [[OriginalCharacter Original Characters]] for fun, but got out of hand quick and ended up with its own webpage with all the stories, a comic and art gallery.
7
8	It had a crew of three artists, four and a half writers, a bunch of Swedes and one guy from Thailand. All in all, this was [[FiveManBand five people]].
9
10	The final completed story, which ironically takes place long before all other stories involved in the project, was published in 2015. It has been considered inactive since.
11
12	Has a (currently non-functional) [[http://www.next-era.net/mhw/index.php?title=Main_Page wiki]].

14	For tropes that apply to the specific stories and characters themselves, please refer to the internal [[http://www.next-era.net/mhw/index.php?title=Tropes Tropes page]].
15	----
16	!!The project provides examples of:
17	* AdaptationDistillation, bordering on UltimateUniverse
18	* AllThereInTheManual: Lots of information was revealed only on the wiki. Some information was even revealed only on the tropes page of the wiki.
19	* AlternateContinuity: The entire thing.
20	* ArtEvolution: It was never bad, but got better along the way. Compare, for instance, [[http://www.next-era.net/main/2008/01/06/type-page-04/ this page]] to [[http://www.next-era.net/main/2009/11/16/hunter-page-38/ this]]. Or just look at [[http://next-era.net/main/image-gallery/sketches_20100424.jpg this]].
21	* BigBad: Averted. While Sigma was some kind of ever-present threat, he only headed attacks twice in the history of the canon, so most evil plots that happened were, in fact, not his doing.
22	* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: All story titles consist of a single word.
23	* {{Omake}}: "Interview with an Indecisive Doodler", as well as all the fillers. [[http://www.next-era.net/main/stories/fillers/ Here.]] Not to mention the Next Era version of [[http://www.next-era.net/main/stories/12-days-of-christmas/ 12 days of Christmas]] that ran in December 2008.
24	* OriginalCharacter: [[http://www.next-era.net/mhw/index.php?title=Category:Characters 30+ and counting.]]
25	* OurVampiresAreDifferent
26	* RetCon: A few stories got wiped out from continuity entirely. Most of them were actually stories set in a possible future, but introducing new characters and plot points in the "present" made it essentially impossible for them to happen.
27	* RuleOfCool: The universe is fueled by it.
28	* ShoutOut: Since the entire crew working on the project were geeks, this happens a lot. Two of the stories were essentially written to be nothing but shout outs to the classic [[VideoGame/MegaManClassic Mega Man]] series.
