{{quote|''The Internet's most reasonably priced fanfiction since 1991!''}}
Founded in 1991 almost by accident by Ben "Gryphon" Hutchins and the individual known only as "MegaZone", Eyrie Productions Unlimited is the writers' collective responsible for the classic [[Mega Crossover]] [[Fanfic]] ''[[Undocumented Features]]'', but also responsible for a half-dozen or so other works (all on a somewhat smaller scale). They are particularly infamous among a segment of ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' fandom for their anti-nihilistic reconstruction of ''NGE'', ''[[Neon Exodus Evangelion]]''.
 
Founded in 1991 almost by accident by Ben "Gryphon" Hutchins and the individual known only as "MegaZone", Eyrie Productions Unlimited is the writers' collective responsible for the classic [[Mega Crossover]] [[Fanfic]] ''[[Undocumented Features (Fanfic)|Undocumented Features]]'', but also responsible for a half-dozen or so other works (all on a somewhat smaller scale). They are particularly infamous among a segment of ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion (Anime)|Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' fandom for their anti-nihilistic reconstruction of ''NGE'', ''[[Neon Exodus Evangelion (Fanfic)|Neon Exodus Evangelion]]''.
 
Their trademarks include a free-wheeling style liberally laced with pop-culture references, an optimistic approach to their plots and worlds, a tremendous amount of imagination applied to dovetailing the various elements of their story universes, and -- perhaps most importantly -- the shameless use of [[Self Insert Fic|self-insert characters]] (although this last is by no means a constant throughout all their fics).

UF = ''[[Undocumented Features (Fanfic)|Undocumented Features]]''<br />NXE = ''[[Neon Exodus Evangelion (Fanfic)|Neon Exodus Evangelion]]''<br />TIA = ''[http://www.eyrie-productions.com/TIA Bubblegum Crisis: The Iron Age]''<br />WL = ''[http://www.eyrie-productions.com/WL Street Fighter: Warrior's Legacy]''<br />HL = ''[http://www.eyrie-productions.com/HL Hopelessly Lost]''<br />GW = ''[http://www.eyrie-productions.com/GW Gods Willing]''
 
(The abbreviations in parentheses after each name indicate in which projects a particular contributor has an avatar character. It is safe to assume that if the contributor has an avatar, he has also contributed to the development or writing of that setting; even if no avatar is listed, he has probably contributed to ''Undocumented Features'' in some way. The only exception to this coding is the late Derek Bacon, who contributed only to the early development of the ''UF'' setting (reputedly producing a large document of notes which the current writing team apparently still consults). His avatars in both ''UF'' and ''[[Neon Exodus Evangelion (Fanfic)|Neon Exodus Evangelion]]'' are posthumous memorials to his influence on the lives and writing of the core members of EPU.)
 
Various members of the EPU collective also have solo efforts to their names, such as Gryphon's [[Film Noir]]-styled ''[[In Nomine (Tabletop Game)|In Nomine]]'' story series ''[http://www.eyrie-productions.com/45 .45 Caliber Angel]''. Many of these can be found at or [http://www.eyrie-productions.com/ETC/related.html linked off the EPU website.]
