The Magic of Xanth

A Second Spell for Chameleon

Piers Anthony Fanfiction
Overview of planned novel

Chameleon has lost her magic at the hands of the wicked wizard
‘Zandravax’.
And now a curse is upon Xanth – according to the ancient charter of
the creator of Xanth – Lord Xanthony – unless an inhabitant of Xanth
has a magic power, the Day of Doom will come, and Xanth will be
destroyed.

It is up to Bink to once again quest for a ‘New Magic’ – a ‘New Power’
– never before seen in Xanth, for the original Source of Magic just
won’t do.

Travelling around Xanth, asking question after question, he finds off
the coastline of Centaur Aisle, on the Western Key the Codex of Lord
Xanthony teaching the power of magical creation.

With a ‘Cohort’ of 3 very particular and necessary inhabitants of
Xanth, Bink climbs to the top of Castle Roogna, summons the great
Dragon of the Sun, and chains him with the everlasting chains of
Roogna, to claim his first member of the Cohort. He travels to the
great chasm, climbs down, and summons the Diggle of Death, and
captures him with the lasso of integrity. Finally he ponders on the
necessary third member of the Cohort called ‘The Hidden Heart of
Love’.

But, finding no hidden heart of love, he returns to Chameleon, who is
on the death bed, and says ‘I will love you forever, Chameleon, and
even in the power of death, my love will live on for you.’ And thus
the Cohort is formed, and the New Magic of Love permeates Xanth, and
the curse is broken.

So have ALL the inhabitants of Xanth lost their talents?

Why not just douse her with healing elixir?

I don't know. I have been very busy with other writings and
haven't gotten to this project yet. In all honesty, Mr Anthony
is quite old now, and while I am not sure if he objects to fanfiction,
as there is some on fanfiction websites, and I have written an email
to him about this idea, which he said wasn't for him, but didn't
object to the idea, so as he is getting quite old I will possibly just
wait, dare I say it, to the rider on a pale horse comes by his place
in Xanth, mentions to him that the hourclock of his time has run out,
and beckons him to the great beyond. In this way there will be no
more official earth writings from Mr Anthony on Xanth for him or
myself to worry about copyright problems and potentially dipping into
ideas he might want to have used, and I should hopefully be able to
write some Xanth fanfiction, which I do hope will be good enough
for his legacy. I have read quite a lot of Piers work, since
a young age, and he has reviewed some of my stories in the
Chronicles of the Children of Destiny ( http://noahidebooks.angelfire.com ).
If I do get into doing this work I will, in all likelihood, just wait
until, not tempting fate, Piers is deceased, and get to it then.

That might be a good idea. In all honesty, I read just the first nine books
of Xanth, from A Spell for Chameleon to Golem in the Gears, back in the late
1980s. I have recently acquired Xanth volumes 10 to 20, and while I haven't
gotten around to reading them yet, they do sit proudly on my bookcase.
I could not say that in my fanfiction works so far I am 100% a canon
compliant writer, as I mostly go with my own ideas, and focus on the feel
of the established characters and the basic elements of the universe
they are part of. I don't try to get too detailed with my fanfiction
writing of other universes. Perhaps I should.
