In this universe, magic exists, though it's known by different names. In a galaxy far, far away it's called The Force, in another galaxy it's called Magic, and on a giant dyson sphere with an atmosphere on the outside it's called The Chosen Intuition. This universe is mainly for fanfics of things like Star Wars, Final Fantasy and The Story of the Whos. It contains some of my own inventions, too, though. Not all of the people around this universe actually know about / use magic, though. Most of the stories have nothing to do with Earth, and no connection to each other, they're all set vastly removed from each other in time and space, though some of those stories may feature FTL space travel to many different planets, they still don't meet each other.
The stories that are set on Earth are like the Marvel / DC universes, lots of superheroes and villains with super-science enabled powers. Otherwise it's like the Beta universe, only there's some more star systems close to earth inhabited by aliens. Several religions, both real and made-up, are true here, with "heavens" and "hells" in various sub-dimensions. Whether they are actual gods or simply evolved beings misinterpreted by "primitives" (that's us!) is up to you!
Note on dates: Some of the stories have their dates in italics, which means it is a date in thier own internal timeline. This is for stories on distant planets, with no connection to Earth at all, so "our" dates are irrelevant.
And, as usual, stories with their names in italics are non-canon. Either because they were overwritten by re-makes or very stupid.
Raptor Squad

Mooted videogame
Main Characters

Description
A somewhat confused videogame idea my brother had. I think it was meant to be like the Jurassic Park games for the Megadrive, only actually set in dinosaur times. The player would be a forgotten pre-prehistoric caveman who rides a velociraptor like a horse... or something (actually "velociraptors" were the size of biggish dogs, the ones in Jurassic park are based on a totally different dinosaur). That might just have been the idea I came up with after he told me the name. Anyway he was designing the title screen but couldn't spell the word "options", so got me to write it... which is probably the only reason I even remember this. Also I probably wrote "opitons" or something myself.

Misc Note
I had an idea for the title screen to have a 2-frame animated background of cavemen huddled round a flickering fire, and for the theme tune to be tribal drumming. Heady stuff for the late 16-bit era.

Description
A very short one-shot TRPG I played with kids at my Eikaiwa job during summer school (aka "2 hours of actual work, then get paid to play games all day"). The two younger / crazier kids got called away to do something just as it started, so I was left playing it with an "I'm not interested in anything maan" 15-16 year old, and a very sensible 7-8 year old. Anyway they all just played it way too sensibly and boringly. It was just a generic quest in a dungeon that ended up with fighting a dragon and getting loads of gold.

One monster I designed was taken by one of the girls, because it was "cute".

Main Characters
Description
A prototypical Insanity Please comic I created with the intention of putting it online, before I even had a scanner! When I did get one, I expected it to magically make my biro scribble into perfectly-clean black and white lineart, on which I could use the Windows Paint tool to fill in blocks of colour. I was "somewhat disappointed" with the results. I began to make a second episode, but gave up on it.

I promised a re-make of the first page "as it looked in my mind", IE in anime style and full colour, but that never got finished. Or started. ...actually, I do vaguely remember starting it.

Type
Webcomic
Main Characters
Description
A very stupid Anarchist re-telling of Final Fantasy 6 and 7. It started out as a bunch of stupid conversations I had on the school bus with my friend Chris. Later I made a ridiculous comic, a few gif animations, and then a mildly less ridiculous webcomic. The webcomic is still technically "ongoing", though it takes breaks of months or years at a time. I used to want to make it about "serious political satire", but never really managed. By the time I bought it back, I was at least centrist, so it became less about anarchy and more about throwing a bunch of action movie tropes at a blender. The villains, Shinra, also turned from a Big Brother style dictatorship to the generic stupid minions of an evil empire, who can't hit a barn door.

A superhero comic intended to hark back to the silver age of Marvel, with various over-the-top characters. Only it will all be in one comic and "jump around" to different characters. Sometimes The Serpent, or another character, will occupy the whole issue, sometimes there will be a main story and a backup, and sometimes there will be three different stories.

Type
Comic strip
Main Characters
Description
An organisation set up by the UN in an attempt to have a worldwide regulatory body for the utilisation and weaponisation of paranormal activities. They couldn't get control of nukes, but as the Soviet Union and USA both started researching into ways of getting an edge with ghosts, cryptids etc, the UN stepped in and started up a body to regulate them. Though the cold war is now over, this organisation continues it's work, investigating and cataloguing all reported paranormal activity.
The first story is a Mini Comic about mystery underwater sightings. Inspired by the "Dive Anon" creepypasta. It was intended for the noisy and annoying second graders at the Jr High I was working at at the time, whom I wanted to scare the crap out of.

Teddy Bear World / Wars
Set in
8022
Created in
1995 - 2000
Type
Drawn comics
Main Characters
Description
A few short comics, and one long one, set on a distant planet populated by living teddy bears. They mostly live in a giant city, called Teddy Bear City, which has futuristic technology like flying cars and giant skyscrapers. In the one surviving short strip, a penguin teddy called Penguin Fellow is training to fly a jetpack (we actually used to tie him to string and swing him up and down the stairs), when "enemies" attack him. In another one, some mad scientist builds a spaceship and bombards Teddy Bear City with meteors (only bits of this one survive).
In the long comic, aliens called Clones try to invade teddy Bear World. This one centres around Loodie, my favourite teddy bear (given to me before I was born, in fact!), working as a cop, but getting recruited as a secret agent to fight the Clones. Though the teddy bears have a load of futuristic technology, and can easily reach space, they lack FtL travel and mostly stay on the one planet.
My brother and I also acted out a ton of stories of this with our actual Teddy Bears. At first they were up against "Squatters", then later "Droids", and finally "Clones". It was never very clear who was making the clones, were they aliens who looked like Teddy Bears, or copies of Teddy Bears made by aliens, or copies of Teddy Bears made by criminal Teddy Bears? Later on some other aliens / evil Teddy Bears were kidnapping Bears to use as food, this was done while we were on holiday somewhere, and the enemy footsoldiers were "Ice Guards", blocks of living ice for which we repurposed some Happy Meal toys. A lot of real-life stuff got repurposed for Teddy Bear World, in fact.
