The Fanfiction Project

The Fanfiction Project (FFP) is a large work of fanfiction that casts the GameFAQs contest as an actual tournament in which the 64 selected characters compete. Every individual poll corresponds to a battle between two characters, the winner of the fight being determined by the poll results. Additionally many fics (known as 'Village' fics) do not deal with battles, but develop characters or establish subplots. The FFP has seen several iterations as contests come and go, the first and most complete of which was written during the 2003 Summer Contest.

Origins
The FFP started out as a solo project by Sir Bormun in the weeks leading up to the beginning of the 2003 Summer Contest. "64 chairs were set out on the lawn," began his first post, and he detailed the arrival of a few characters who were summoned to the tournament. BigCow soon began to contribute his own works, and the topic snowballed as more authors joined the fray. Soon enough longterm plotlines were forged and the fics became lengthier and more epic in scope. The FFP was born.

SC2k3
The first and largest FFP. Mainstay authors include Sir Bormun, BigCow, Furious J, Funkadelict, StopPokingMe, DanBonezTheThird and Aeon Azuran, with much support (and more than a few guest fics) from Jjukil. It is complete up to the final match, for which BigCow has written the prematch and is rumored to be working on today! Cromage has an archive of everything from the first FFP here.

This article is in need of separate sections for later FFP iterations with their respective authors and/or archives!
