FOOLS' PARADISE Masterpost
So, considering my fanfiction is expanding at a greater volume than expected, I thought it was a good idea to make a masterpost, for newcomers and old readers both.
What is Fools' Paradise?
Fools' Paradise is a fanfiction taking places after the 5th Artemis Fowl book (The Lost Colony), esploring the love between Artemis and Minerva, Artemis' discoveries around gender&sexuality and her (yes, her) relationship with her family.
Why is thing XYZ different from canon?
I have retconned or simply changed multiple things to my taste, perhaps the most evident one being that my version of Minerva is the same age of Artemis. Other notable ones are that jumbo pixies do not exist and N°1 never abrogates the Rule of Dwelling. Most of the canon divergencies (ie. Artemis' birthday being 31st August instead of September 1st) are explained in the story!
Will it span to the latest book?
That's the idea, unless my mind derails in the meantime. Fowl Twins, on the other hand, is not considered canon, even if some characters may appear.
Why is the title Fools' Paradise?
Well, it's a quote from Paradise Lost by John Milton, but for the real reason, you have to read it! ;)
