Well well well. The Feral Plains really was an enjoyable read and a well-written story. The ending did not disappoint and remained faithful to what we'd seen before, closing TFP with an all new world to build together for the Matoran, Toa and such. I have to say that the nighttime pics for Chapter 3 really added to the atmosphere of the scene and I just loved it. If I had any idea of how to cook those, I'd give you a cookie right now !

As far as the uneducated hooligan I am is concerned however, I kinda feel like an Alternate Universe wouldn't serve your storyline right. I know it is a bit hypocritical to say that, considering I myself entirely rely on my Shadow Alternate Universe, but anyway I'd like to share my point of view. As much as I agree with most of the points you raise with your chart, I have to say that some of them made me raise an eyebrow. Mostly the first "Con" of the LAU, and as you put it yourself : "I know that none of you should be surprised, because these compose a large amount of the fanfiction on this site." And this is quite true,  AUs indeed compose a lot of this Wiki's content, and I believe that maybe creating another one which doesn't seem to differ that much from the Core Universe (basically Matoran Universe transfered to Aqua Magna, and disappearance of most of the Makuta ; actually you only transfer all locations to a planet instead of a robot and get rid of all main villains) would only lose you amongst all the other ones because it lacks of peculiarity. I believe an AU gets useful when you have to change what is canon (for example, the infamous Fractures AU modified a bunch of canon characters and completely changed Metru Nui's history by getting rid of Teridax) whereas your LAU seems -to me- to be lacking of this purpose, since your storyline takes place only in fanon locations (Leskya and Powai) with only fanon characters. However, if you intend to step on the very charted canon territory with future stories, then I say just go for it !

Finally -I talk too much, don't I ?- I really like both Phi and Antharahk MOCs. Annoying Flying Thing looks vicious and has this strange giant mosquito feel, kinda like the kind of annoying buzzing crap you only wanna kill by setting your entire house afire with a flamethrower. And as far as Needle Bacteria Man is concerned, God! does he look great. I actually loved this character ever since I read his article, even without seeing what he looked like, because he really is unique with this unicellular thing. I don't know if it's the only fanon Makuta to focus on microorganisms rather than common-sized Rahi like the other Makuta, but it's the first I've ever heard of and I really love this side of he character. It reminds me of Neon Genesis Evangelion's Angels Bardiel and Ireul, which are basically freaking viruses that take control of big robots to kill everyone. But to talk about the MOC, just great color scheme and great building ideas (I love the needle and the torso design, especially the use of Gorast's Kanohi that fits perfectly color-wise and build-wise). Actually Antharahk might just be my favorite Makuta of all times, and I'm not saying that only to be nice, because I am not nice. I am an uneducated hooligan, aren't I ?

(Well, anyway, this reminds me I still have to read Dirge...)
