It was the end of an era. The work David Gonterman had become known for, infamous or otherwise, had ceased production. The stories were buried, then outright deleted. What copies remained were forever altered by the hands of MST3K fans. As the dust settled, Gonterman was not sure what to do next, even though the desire to create works of fiction had not left the man. It was only a matter of time before inspiration would once again strike, Gonterman ready to tackle a new, ambitious project. To write numerous stories that could be enjoyed by the masses, and have them all connected to create a far wider universe than one lone fanfic could portray.
The Book of FoxFire was born.
In a sense, it was at its heart an extension of what Gonerman had previously done. His stories, which could be viewed independently of each other, were by design part of a larger tapestry. The form it took was “The Book of FoxFire,” a magical item with an infinite amount of pages. Originally, the holder of The Book was one “Daveykins Foxfire.” However, as he worked to refine the concept, the central protagonist’s name was changed to something less obviously self-inserting: Adam Packbell. While the surname was borrowed from his Sonic fanfiction days, the character was meant to be the starting point of a new era.
The Book of FoxFire was more than just prose. The comics strips that he would create at the same time - BakaBreakers, Night Soldiers, Planeswalker - were just as integral to the overall concept. However, while those comics are fairly complete, much of the early prose connected to the project is currently lost to the ages. Below is what has survived.
