Naomi Novik has written several miscellaneous works of "Temeraire"-related short fiction. Many of them qualify as "official fanfic" in that although written by Novik, they do not fit into the canonical continuity of the main series.
Deleted Scenes[edit]
Two "deleted scenes" from the Temeraire series have been posted on the official website. These were texts written by Naomi Novik that she ultimately decided not to use in the books. As such, they are not considered canon. One of these scenes is from Throne Of Jade[1], and takes place during the Valerie engagement, while the other is a former opening to Empire of Ivory[2].
Suvudu crackfic[edit]
"A Dragon And A Swordsman Walk Into A Bar"[3] was written in response to a reader popularity poll on the Suvudu website. In that round of the poll, Temeraire was pitted against Jaime Lannister, a character from George R. R. Martin's series "A Song of Ice and Fire". The story presents Novik's vision of the battle between them.
Drabbles[edit]
A drabble is a short story of 100 words or less. Shortly after the publication of Tongues of Serpents in 2010, Novik wrote a series of Temeraire Drabbles.
Artfic[edit]
As another promotion for Tongues of Serpents, Novik announced a fanart contest (deadline 31 August 2010)[4].
The winners and general publication plans were announced on 7 April 2011. At some later date, Subterranean Press will issue a limited-edition hardback with 32 pieces of artwork (including a 16-page full color gallery); Novik will write new stories to accompany the art, totalling about 20,000 words. Novik will post the stories online after the book sells out.
