I'm going to nominate and request Albion for Yuletide again this year. Not sure how my chances are for getting a fill, but a girl can dream, right? Actually, Yuletide has already started working its magic, since while I poked the internet pondering my nominations, I found things! Not fanfic, because I doubt anyone has ever written an Albion fic, but still. Time for a resources post!

Albion is a computer game from the nineties. One reason I think it'd lend itself quite well for fic is that it does a great job at world building. There's tons of background information in the game if you care to talk to people, a very interesting alien race, an exotic alien planet...

Download the game from Abandonia
A very comprehensive walkthrough (try this when you think the game is hard!)
Albion on TVTropes
A live play on Youtube. I haven't watched it all, but the guy's commentary is quite funny and he voice-acts all the dialogue. <3
Liveplays in transcript+screenshots form: English (still ongoing but close to the end), German
Blogging Albion is very liberal and creative in paraphrasing the events of the game, which makes it fun to read but not necessarily a resource for what's actually going on in the game. It has also nice thoughts about game design scattered throughout, and an interesting speculation about future events on Albion.
All the 2D maps
All text messages from the game (In the order I extracted them from the binaries, thus somewhat unsorted. They amount to 120k words, and a great deal of those are optional conversations. I call that world-building!)
