Chronicles of War


Chronicles of War requires a bit of explanation. This story is a crossover element of various fanfics made by Insanity Productions. It has been actively written, in one form or another, for nine years. Enduring several re-writes, this page is the final version. It is impossible to describe without either wasting space or giving away the best secrets in the story. It begins with a cliched setup featuring terrorists, bombs, and hostages, but proceeds to shatter every preconception formed in this story's humble beginnings.

As Chronicles of War is a crossover element in several on-going Insanity Production stories, it's completion is vital to enjoying other, more light-hearted tales. Chronicles of War is currently under active production.
