I believe we are all disappointed with Ultima IX... That's why I've written my own version to counter the worthless shell put on the shelves. I thought of this before I discovered Evil_Freak's version (down below), plus it's on his page, hence this ain't plagiarism.
I've put this fanfiction together with careful research through most of the Ultimas. I am keeping a couple Ultima IX things the same (Blackthorn will appear for example) and I got a couple new ideas from existing Fanfics, though slightly altered.
The concept of Good and Evil appears quite often in Ultima, that's why I named this the way it is. One cannot exist without the other! (True?)
By Avatar673
From Earth did Lord Cantabrigian British and the companions of the Avatar hail, but how? The first part in a tale of the arrival of British and the bard Iolo in Britannia.
By Avatus the Paladin
Ultima IX: Rumble in Britannia
Arnold Swarzenegger as the Avatar. 'Nuff said. :)
By Avatus the Paladin
The Amulet of Justice
An apprentice assassin of the Black Circle is prepared for his final test... and his first target. But how shall he slay a woman who can see into his heart with naught but a glance?

The Black Ankh[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
Having just liberated Castle Britannia and all within from the Guardian's Blackrock prison-dome, again I felt that a little rest wouldn't be too much to ask for. Solving a Labyrinth of Worlds wasn't something I did every day, after all. The Guardian just laughed silently. He wasn't done with me yet... (The Black Ankh immediately follows Ultima Underworld II and is the sequel to The Dark Realm, available only at the Dragon Press.)
By Shadow of Light Dragon aka Laura Campbell
A Journey to Britannia
The tale of Sergorn of Dargonia, his accidental arrival on Britannia, and his efforts to find a way home.
By Lord Sergorn aka Marc Charlot
The Decision
A wonderful tale where the Avatar and the Guardian realize that they were created by Origin and express their disgust at what Britannia has become in Ultmia IX. Reading this really convinced me to keep the page going and to keep writing "my" Ultima IX.
By Caleb M. Hoffman
Gwenno's Return[1][2]
Whilst the Avatar journeys through Pagan, his Britannian companions desperately seek a way home from the dying Serpent Isle...
By BloodyCats
Shane's Tale
Possibly the best Ultima fanfic even written, Shane's Tale features a bard who has lost the ability to sing and must find a true purpose in his wasted life. If you want a thought-provoking story reminiscent of Akira Kurosawa's Ikiru, read and enjoy!
By Programmer Dragon aka Daniel Jo
Ascension: The Way It Really Went
A U9 parody by someone who has as much "respect" for the end of the Trilogy of Trilogies as I do. :)
By HK Dragon aka Roz Kwan
Legacy[1][2]
In the years after the Avatar's sacrifice, his friends are still dealing with the loss of their companion. And one girl on the brink of becoming a lady must deal with emotions about a man she has never met.
Note: Unlike many stories on this site, Legacy takes place after Origin's Ultima IX and follows their continuity fully.
By Candyman aka Michael Montoya
And Never to be Reclaimed
The historic first story to be printed on this site! Twenty-five years after Ultima VII, the Guardian has conquered Britannia. An army of the last civilized Britannians must find a way to save their once-glorious nation.
By Evil_Freak Dragon aka William Peters
At the time of writing, U9 is not yet out, but will probably be by the end of the month. This is "Book One" in my version of the "Trilogy of Trilogy's" conclusion. More "Books" coming soon!
12/25/99: I'm onto Book Seven now, and I can say that everyone who reads this page associates it with Ultima 9. This has become my flagship title, and I am quite proud of it.
2/12/2000: A legacy comes to an end today. Ultima IX is complete. I've already received much praise over this, including the title "The True Ultima IX." attributed to my fanfic. To say I am flattered is an understatement.

Last Moments
A short SHORT story by me tieing up a little sub-plot in Serpent Isle.
By Evil_Freak Dragon aka William Peters
Alternate Endings: Ultima V
While I was replaying Ultima V, I began to wonder what really made the Avatar and Lord British more virtuous than Blackthorn. On a whim, I wrote this story about what MIGHT have been the real cause behind the Shadowlords and the disappearance of Lord British. If reaction is favorable, I might write a few more "Alternate Endings" for the other Ultimas.
By Evil_Freak Dragon aka William Peters
A Soldier's Tale
At the end of Ultima Underworld II, I pondered what happened to all the warriors from Killorn Keep. Apparently Warren S. and his crew decided this was unimportant as they were "evil" and were presumably killed by the Avatar and the other "heros" in LB's castle. Well, I've never been one to leave characters one-dimensional and undeveloped, so here's a tale of the aftermath of UW2.
By Evil_Freak Dragon aka William Peters
The Complete Ultimate Super Never-Before-Seen Untold Story: The Chronicle of Britannia
Well, this is my first dive into the stream of humorous fanfiction! It's pretty over-the-top, but I defiinitely think it's entertaining. Note: The following story contains profanity, drug abuse, and prostitution, all dealt with in a humorous manner. Consider yourself warned.
By Evil_Freak Dragon aka William Peters
Ultima 9 Version 0.0001: The Story Best Left Untold
Yep, my second humorous fanfic. This is a parody of Origin's Ultima 9, with a few other jokes thrown in for good measure. Note: You won't understand alternate Ending D if you haven't read "Chronicle of Britannia," also by me, just up this page a bit.
By Evil_Freak Dragon aka William Peters
Loss
A bleak, depressing tale set between Ultima VII and Serpent Isle
By Evil_Freak Dragon aka William Peters
Ultima: The Civil War
"Ultima 9: Version 0.0001" was a parody of Origin's infamous game. "Civil War" is a parody of the original plot.
By Evil_Freak Dragon aka William Peters
Mortegro: The Tale of the Necromage
My quasi-sequel to "my" Ultima IX, starring Mortegro from SI. This is my third major fanfiction project, my first and second being "And Never to be Reclaimed" and "Ultima IX: Ascension", respectively.
By Evil_Freak Dragon aka William Peters
Ultima IX: Script for Projected Remake
A short while back on Horizons, BadMojo suggested that several people do a remake of U9 with the Ultima VII engine. For story he reccomended "Evil_Freak Dragon and other talented fanfic writers." Well, after receiving a fairly positive response to this on Horizons, I decided to upload this draft for a new U9 game, with a plot that's a combination of the "Bob White" original plot and of my long fanfic just above. Be warned, though, this contains spoilers for both.
By Evil_Freak Dragon aka William Peters
Valoria Tome One of Four: The Birth of an Empire [.Html] [.Doc]
Centuries pass upon the Second Continent since the destruction of the Guardian and the Ascension of the Avatar. Great empires rise and fall as the land is thrown into barbarism. And now it is the destiny of a single man to unite the world and create a new Britannia.
Valoria is the sequel to my Ultima IX fanfic several stories above. I spent two and a half months writing it, and intend it to be my ultimate philosophical and moral statement within an Ultima fanfic. Though I'm planning on taking a rest now, the next three parts of Valoria will be eventually written.
By Evil_Freak Dragon aka William Peters
The Tale of Bimfulty the Sosarian Viking and the Quest to Find Avatus
Admittedly, it's been a while since I wrote anything humorous. And so, having finished the first part of Valoria, I now present the saga of another great hero of Britannia and his rise to power.
By Evil_Freak Dragon aka William Peters
Valoria: Tome Two of Four: The Last to Surrender
As the Valorian Empire continued its rise, the lesser kingdoms from across the Second Continent did what they must to survive and ultimately wage war against Valoria. But two threats to Tarnor Dredanal outweight all else; an inhuman warlord whos idealistic dreams throw the realm into chaos, and a cabal of the last practitioners of magic, setting forth the destiny of the lands that were once Britannia.
Note: Due to the agonizing process of converting Valoria: Tome One into .htm format, Tome Two and all future installments of Valoria shall only be available as .docs. I apoligize for any inconviences this may cause.
By Evil_Freak Dragon aka William Peters
Ultima: The Lost Soul
The Avatar and his three companions seek out a mysterious ruin from the days of Mondain, and find their own lives as they might have been.
By Evil_Freak Dragon aka William Peters
The Lord of Fire
A "What If" story revolving around a nihilistic Avatar, now forced to face the Guardian's invasion of Britannia from outside the Blackrock Dome formed around Castle Britannia.
By Evil_Freak Dragon aka William Peters
Lazarus' Redemption Prophecy: A Legend is Reborn with the Dawn of Elijah's Great Balls of Fire
Nearly two years after the release of Ultima IX, Britannia is torn apart by conflicts between rival factions, all dedicated to remaking this or that Ultima. But what is the mysterious Fiery Horrible Catcalysm that now threatens to destroy them all?
(As you've probably guessed, this isn't exactly a serious fanfic. ;) )
By Evil_Freak Dragon aka William Peters
A brief look into the life of a resident of one of the many worlds lorded over by the Guardian.
By Grandor Dragon aka Vitor Zimmerer
