Legion of Lawndale Heroes

Legion of Lawndale Heroes is a series by Roentgen where the major characters of Daria acquire super-powers and are convinced or manipulated into forming a "Legion" of such young people by Russell Stark, a mysterious software magnate.

Started in 2005, the series was limited to readers of the Sh33p's Fluff Message Board, but has recently migrated to the Paperpusher's Message Board. It is over 100,000 words long, approaching the length of such series as The Look-Alike Series, The Driven Wild Universe, Falling Into College, Bed and Breakfast Man and the works of Steven Galloway. However, LLH remains unknown for the most part.

In late July of 2007, Brother Grimace made an announcement on PPMB that he would be writing the next eight episodes of LLH, in order to complete 'Year Two'. He mentioned that he would not attenpt to seriously change the tone of the fic, and that he would attempt to talk Roentgen into coming back to the title.

Timeline
Initially, the series was divided into "chapters" which are divided into "parts". A completed chapter consisted of between eight and ten parts.

The first eight chapters make up "Year One" of the Legion, with Jane Lane being named Leader of the Legion and Sandi Griffin being named Deputy Leader. Both positions are elected positions.

After the completion of the first eight chapters, Roentgen made the decision to move the stories more quickly by assigning only four parts to a completed story as opposed to eight. Furthermore, the beginning of the ninth chapter started "Year Two" of the Legion's history, with Quinn Morgendorffer winning the post of Leader, with Sandi Griffin serving as Deputy Leader for the second year in a row.

Previously, these chapters were only titled "LLH x.y" where x is the chapter number and y is the part. However, these parts of chapters have only recently been given names. The naming conventions are only complete, however, to LLH 3.7. Meanwhile, future parts of the story will be given titles after their completion and older parts will be assigned titles retroactively.
