female protagonist

Your name is Akemi Homura and you've failed. Again. The pale white of the hospital ceiling greets you. Again. Your worthless heart beats in your chest, persisting in its pitiful attempts to keep your blood flowing. Again. Like a swarm of hungry rats your sins scratch and gnaw on your...

I. While it is a truth universally acknowledged that a gentleman in possession of good fortune must be in want of a wife, it is no less true that – should his rites funereal precede those of his marriage – such wanting is abruptly abrogated. Mr. Thomatthis Almkirk of Gandlandshire is...

Dawn and reality break together. Space twists; trembles; tears. A tiny hole appears in the air and rapidly doubles in size, twice, thrice, five times, ten times. Around it the grass begins to wither, and the stones begin to crumble, and the very color begins to leach out of the sky, and only...

Do you prefer private vehicles or public transport? Maybe both? For me, it’s neither. I actively do my best to avoid them. It certainly takes a toll on my frail body to walk forty minutes each day, twice in fact, back and forth from my rented apartment to the office. But I like it very much. Not...

Tanya stumbled awake, picking herself up as she looked at her hands. Long gone was all the blood and dirt that covered them mere moments ago, now they appeared clean and washed, as if the radiant sun now blinding her eyes had burned it all away. She squinted as she looked around, seeing nothing...

I wake up gasping, like I've just surfaced from drowning. Cold. Naked. Confused. Not exactly how I expected to start my day, if I'm being honest. I don't even get a second to process before the smell hits me—burning metal, scorched concrete, something acrid. The air feels wrong, thick with...

"I've got two screaming dots in my cameras, I'll have moonfall in five minutes, try to wrap up by then," Amalie chirped in Ophelia's ear. Ophelia tried to make out the horizon through the darkness. Jupiter lit up Europa well, but the cameras on Gepard weren't perfect for mimicking human eyes...

21st of Sextilis, 4350 A.P. The evening had started so well, Gaius Publius thought. He'd visited the theater with his wife to watch his daughter's latest work. A masterful ensemble of illusions and narrative that brought new life to the old tale of the rise of the imperial house without...

In the twenty-five centuries Sigmar's Empire has existed in some shape or form, practitioners of magic have not been treated kindly for most of it. Open practitioners were burned, hedge mages were executed or exiled, and even children displaying magical potential faced the pyre, the noose, or...

Special thanks goes out to Tinker of Fiction. Honestly, this wannabee writer has been sitting on this idea for years, and it turns out that all he needed to actually follow through with it was finding a system whose homework he was willing to copy...

Note: This quest will inevitably, undoubtedly revolve around ritual suicide from the very first scene and onwards. Real and imagined abuse will be covered too. A few failure conditions include the our main character considering or even attempting to take her own life. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. At...

When Tahl had been young, she had visited a planet that had just been on the threshold of space flight. The level of tech they had was so much less than the galactic standard yet utilized in such ways that each was ingenious and she was certain that if such principles were applied to modern...

Ever heard a really good song with a clear story behind it and been like 'wow that song would make a great book' well, that happened to me 2 days ago... so... one weekend and several other ongoing projects taking a back seat later... here we are folks, a brand new world-building-bible complete...

Trochophore 0.1 (2) - The bitter wind blew back my hair as I walked in my threadbare sandals between broken glass bottles and gritty clumped sand. Worn corrugated iron surrounded me on all sides and I made a very conscious decision not to inhale as a small breeze dislodged a moldering carboard...

She was starving. Opening her eyes, she saw food working frantically at something embedded in one of the walls, with a smaller food standing near it. Both were making panicked noises. She lunged at the larger meal, tackling it to the ground and beginning to eat, even as it struggled against...

Consciousness returned suddenly and violently. My eyes snapped open to see the dying hum of machinery and a bone-chilling cold that seeped into my very core. I smelled and tasted the caustic ozone mixed with stale air. I then observed that I was in a glass cylinder embedded in a grey wall, with...

REVENGE an interwar Germany superhuman quest The wreckage of total war is not a nice place to be. It is even worse when it is that of the losing side. But mostly people choose to keep going, because it remains better than the alternative. They continue to live, to struggle, to love. Or, at...

The call didn't feel the same as usual, Tamamo noticed. There wasn't any catalyst, sure, that was typical. There weren't many people who would bother to go out of their way to find a suitable catalyst for Tamamo no Mae. When there was a suitable catalyst, usually someone else would answer it...

Snap snap snap. The sound of the camera clicks breaks me from my reverie. Another day, another deluge of demanding interviews for the adoring public. Don't get me wrong, I loved my fans but sometimes…I wanted to just transform and maul a reporter for asking me what color of underwear I was...

CHAPTER 1: A FACTORY GUTTER "We want to glorify war — the only cure for the world — militarism, patriotism, the destructive gesture of the anarchists, the beautiful ideas which kill, and contempt for woman." -The Futurist Manifesto, F. T. Marinetti, 1909 There is no need for names in the New...
