Non-Canon

This is a list of writings set in the Tomorrowlands universe, but which aren't strictly accurate to the world, or are otherwise unofficial. Their events won't appear in the timeline and their characters won't be in the list, but they're fun reading nevertheless.

All In A Day's Work (short story) - The story that started it all! Ash and his comrades-in-arms take an extremely parodic romp through a university under siege, enduring the terrors of lawyers, lunch ladies, and ... a roomful of bunnies. You'll miss all the in-jokes, but hey, it's a piece of history.
    24 pages. By Baxil, 1997
