Story Thieves is a book series by James Riley, author of the series Half Upon a Time. It chronicles the adventures of Owen Conners and his half-fictional friend Bethany Sanderson as they travel through fictional worlds in search of Bethany's father who went missing when she was four. In the process, the two friends come across and befriend many fictional people and discover a plot to separate the fictional and non-fictional worlds by removing non-fictional people's imagination. The series consists of five books.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); }) Story Thieves: The first book in the series where Bethany and Owen meet. Story Thieves: The Stolen Chapters: The second book in the series. In this one Owen, Bethany, and Kiel are opposed by a strange fictional kid in a question mark mask who is supposedly related to Sherlock Holmes. Story Thieves: Secret Origins: The third installment where we finally find out who Bethany's father is and discover the identity of Nobody, the blank-faced man who has been helping our heroes in the past few books. Story Thieves: Pick the Plot: In the fourth book, which is formatted like a choose your own adventure book, we follow Owen as he tries to escape a time prison and stop Nobody. Story Thieves: Worlds Apart: Nobody succeeds in separating the fictional and non-fictional world, resulting in nobody in the non-fictional world having an imagination. After getting his imagination back, Owen embarks on a quest to reunite Bethany's two split halves and stop Nobody from wiping out the entire fictional multiverse.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

And the Adventure Continues: Assuming the author doesn't write any more books, the last book seems to end on this.

Author Powers

comment
Author Powers: A quite literal version. All fictional people can rewrite themselves, but they require a non-fictional anchor, preferably an author, to do it without disappearing. In addition to this, Authors don't actually have any powers beyond creating characters, as after they create the characters, the characters are free to do whatever they want, and the Author is just chronicling their adventures using their imagination.

Bad Future: Kara takes Owen to two, one fictional and one non-fictional. He visits the fictional future in the fourth book (or, at least, he can if you choose to send him there) in which his future self is part of some sort of resistance group and the Countess rules things. He visits the non-fictional future in the fifth book that's styled after 1984, where the existance of fictional people has been revealed but it's been spun so that all fictional people are perceived as evil and an oppressive, tyrannical government has taken over in order to "protect" people from them. Ironically, the person at the top of the oppressive government is Dr. Verity, who is fictional himself.
