  • Stopped, a short story that concisely captures the essence of Serial Experiments Lain.

"Lain's watch stopped..."

  • The Gods Themselves, an odd crossover between SEL and Puella Magi Madoka Magica in which Lain and Madokami are indistinguishable and Alice discusses God with Homura.

""Mit der Dummheit kämpfen Götter selbst vergebens.*" Lain. Madoka. Homura. Arisu. I am uncertain what genre to classify this under." (*Against stupidity the gods themselves contend in vain.)
