(So, this is my first try at writing here, and I would like to apologize for any spelling and/or grammar errors. I also want to state that in this world races that usually only come in a single gender will/should have either a counterpart race or have two genders (Examples: Gorgons are commonly female but in this setting there are male versions, Tengu are al...
Forked from Ovyah Discovered, True Believers! In Marvel Universe-254616, Peter Parker had spent some fifteen years as the Amazing Spider-Man. But, despite hundreds of victories and lives saved, his life lay in ruins -- his photojournalistic career was in ruins after he faked a photograph to help a man accused of a crime he didn't commit. His academic and ed...
Author's Note: I appreciate the great response from readers as well as the wonderful stories that the other writers have contributed to this chain story of a genie. I am enjoying it and look forward to more chapters as we each take the time to bring some entertainment to your day. Thank you to gotwood49 for help with my paltry attempt to edit; he sure likes...
***Dakhete is a lot of things, depending on how one chooses to look at her. She lacks a piece of knowledge however. In this chapter, she meets a couple of rather singular individuals, thought at least they know what they are. More importantly - and it doesn't get more than a hint here, both of them can see what Dakhete cannot, though right here, she's not q...
Three Months Ago The woman lies on the bed slowly coming out of a deep, dreamless sleep. She blinks her eyes open then quickly slams them closed to ward off the stinging light. She gives it a few minutes and tries to collect her thoughts and remember the last thing she can or even how she got here, but nothing comes. Bracing herself she throws her eyes ope...
(Written for a contest in which we were given the first and last lines (which were quotes from movies) randomly and had to fill in-between them. God, I hope this thing makes sense!) Chapter 1. My life, so far... Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, why'd she have to walk into mine? I was working part-time as a bartender in the fair...
Thale sat alone in his room and brooded. The brooding came easy – too easy. With Adoran and Enriquah both gone – off to hunt the Liminal Knight known as 101g – he was left board the Victrix, once more climbing up the Chain. Slow. Stately. Plodding. Cloying. Claustrophobic. Thale's palm rubbed against his face and he hissed his frustration as his tail lashed...
Author's note: My idea is for the stories to mostly be 3rd person. However, this section basically has to be second person, so bear with me. *** The box you found was peculiar. Usually, a box didn't come with strange markings. It wasn't made out of exotic materials that seemed to defy normal physical behavior. Boxes were usually cardboard or wood. They held...
The United States of America had been a joint Cryptozoic ideal. Abrahamic religions had begun sweeping across the world, and the old Gods had seen how quickly they could fall away from any power at all if their worshippers were cut down in war ... in fact, tolerating conversion almost seemed better because where was always the hope that the old ways would st...
Slowly the world came back to Walter. Crap! This was getting to be a bad habit. Slowly he sat up in bed and two things were instantly apparent. One; he was whole and unharmed, and two; he was naked.
