The Fallouts for free

A few years ago I wrote a story to answer a question: what do you get when you take a big wet bucket of post-apocalyptic time-hopping sci-fi, a gentle cup of supernatural problem solving, a cornucopia of personality disorders, and smash them together in a particle collider?
The answer was the Fallouts, a four volume series with a lot of obvious referencing to all manner of comic, science fiction story, fantasy tale, anime and game - and a whole lot of obscure referencing as well!
 It's kind of a weird story, and certainly a long one. My main character defected his intended plot line effective immediately and set off on an escapist's dream of his own.  He's always been a bit of a dick. Soon after, the rest of the cast followed suit, dragging the story from its questy beginnings, into a world-spanning romp of guitar duels, death races, pirates (ninjas too, of course), giant yaks, onmyo mystics, explosions, sex, violence and insanity.
 If you think this is at all your kind of thing, here's the entire first half (and a bit) of volume 1.
