Polychrome Heroics
Terramagne is my superhero setting. The first poems focused on Damask. Since then, fans have prompted for many other superheroes and side poems about their world in general.
Maisie Walker was an ordinary college student of mixed race with long curly honey-blond hair, brown eyes, and naturally tan skin. The supervillain Mindflare wanted a random innocent bystander to use as bait, so he kidnapped Maisie. This set a trap for the superhero Savoir Faire, who arrived too late to save the struggling Maisie. Under the onslaught of telepathic assault, Maisie ceased to exist; her essence was sliced into six new personalities who became a multiple system. Eventually they developed into a superhero called Damask.
Their story appears at the top of the list, as it makes the best introduction to the setting and has a firm sequence.
Below Damask's poems are others featuring different characters, some of whom cross over with each other. The chronology of these is much looser.
Details on sponsoring available poems appear atop the main Serial Poetry page. See also the Storyline Guide to track appearances by recurring characters.

Fanworks by Dialecticdreamer
Dreamwidth user dialecticdreamer has been helping me develop this setting and series. She has created a variety of materials including fiction, demifiction, poetry, and audiovisual presentations.
Building Neighborhoods is a storyline featuring a construction company and a young man named Gideon at his first job. It overlaps with Danso's Family on my side.
Read "A Favor Returned," a short story which features Hannah asking for help with Nathaniel.
Read "Childish and Foolish," a poem about Dr. Infanta in a fast-food restaurant.
Watch the video "Flickering," which explains a common way superpowers can manifest.
Watch the video "Confronting Supervillains," which illustrates why it is a bad idea for ordinary police officers to engage a supervillain who is not committing a major crime at that very moment.
Read the demifiction "Pueblo de los Muertos (Village of the Dead)" featuring a memorial for a historic superpower event.
Read the demifiction "Tragedy on the Dan Ryan Expressway" about the wreck of a zoom ambulance.
Read the demifiction "Memorial Services Begin: Article in the Northwest Herald" about a funeral for one victim from the ambulance wreck.
Read the demifiction "O'Fallon Journal: Community Events Calendar" for an example of public safety training on how to deal with supervillains.
Read the demifiction "Demonstration Closes Mill Road Mall" shows a slanted complaint about a public safety event.
Read the demifiction "Corporation Sues Man!" following Tastee Shack's response to the incident in "Keeping Warm."
Explore the cover of a book that Drew Finn is reading.
Read the story "Darja's Experiment," about a little girl playing with modified eggs. It's not about superpowers but is set in Terramagne.
Tastee Shack is a fast food place that sells pretzels. See the logo and the menu.
Read the story "Keeping Warm," in which a supervillain incident is not all that it seems, and some folks use their superpowers in everyday rescue work. Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7. (The poem "Sanitation Engineers" is a direct sequel to this story.)

As in much of life, food plays a significant part in several storylines. The posts in the following two paragraphs lead to compilations featuring links to dozens of recipes.
Quench your thirst with these recipes for Blue to Purple Drinks, or (for those of legal drinking age) Alcoholic Drinks. Hungry? Try some Screamin' Squirrel Snacks or Jumble Munch. For those with more adventurous palates, there are Hot Chicks.
Several threads have their own collections of recipes as well. Enjoy some American cuisine from Antimatter & Stalwart Stan, some Italian and Sicilian cuisine from Cuoio and Chiara, some comfort food -- and, for the more adventurous, some elaborate pastries -- from Pain's Gray, and finally some southern, campfire, and/or Chinese recipes, from the Officer Pink thread.
I have compiled a post with links to my work featuring sexual assault and supportive resources, such as mentioned in the threads Antimatter & Stalwart Stan, Damask, Danso & Family, and Shiv along with some miscellaneous pieces.

Not produced by anyone I know, but essentially canon for Terramagne, is this image of Bart Simpson. He draws diagrams and equations there, because what people in Terramagne worry about is frustrated little geniuses.
Not produced by anyone I know, but probably polygenetic canon for Terramagne, is the short comic "Powers." It's an example of how ordinary people can do marvelous things.
Not produced by anyone I know, but certainly the kind of conversation that supervillains have whilst standing around watching the Anything Goes Games in T-Antarctica, is "Evil Ethics." Because I have supervillains who are gigantic nerds, that's why.

Read the story "Origin Story" by Stardreamer. A young woman gains a creepy superpower and strives to use it wisely.
Not produced by anyone I know, but essentially canon for Terramagne, is this "Pinky and the Brain" short in which Brain gives Pinky a piece of his mind. This is the kind of wicked thing that young supervillains do before they're powerful enough to rip bridges off the moorings.
Not produced by anyone I know, but essentially canon for Terramagne, is this image of Bart Simpson. He draws diagrams and equations there, because what people in Terramagne worry about is frustrated little geniuses.
Not produced by anyone I know, but probably polygenetic canon for Terramagne, is the short comic "Powers." It's an example of how ordinary people can do marvelous things.
Not produced by anyone I know, but certainly the kind of conversation that supervillains have whilst standing around watching the Anything Goes Games in T-Antarctica, is "Evil Ethics." Because I have supervillains who are gigantic nerds, that's why.
Make a set of superhero (or supervillain, or supernary) accessories for your children to play dress-up.
Read about quiet rooms and how to make them; this kind of investment in healthy social atmosphere is what makes Terramagne a nicer place to live.
Read about shock rooms and how to make them; this is another investment in healthy social atmosphere that can be implemented locally.
Read about Emotional First Aid, which can be used to help reduce the damage caused by life's "hard knocks."
A Party Monitor Kit contains the most useful items for solving the kinds of problems that tend to go wrong at a social event. You can make it as large or small as necessary for your preference and any local rules.
Here's a discussion about how to make your home town more like Bluehill. See also "Value Per Acre" for an analysis of land use in T-American towns, and "How to Build Community" for links about cultivating social ties.
For a discussion of heroic action in everyday life, see "You Never Know When," which I wrote after I came across a serious car crash.
For a discussion of responsible police work from a serving officer, read "Let's Just Stop This and Maybe Be the Good Guys Again."
