"...and in that place, I could feel: the wind on my face, the rain as I walked, and the smell of an impending storm in the air. It was a dream, but one unlike any I had ever felt before..." — Dr. Shaun Johansen, Ph.D., Medical Officer, FDA Center for Devices and Radiological Health, Division of...

A Fine Sediment by Chairtastic Summary: Everyone told me you shouldn't build on sand. Your foundation needs to be strong and sturdy or everything will come crashing down. But being strong, sturdy, and hard means you're unable to change easily. As it turns out, sand is just fine to build on –...

Preempting spoiler discussion in the original thread getting out of hand. Completed: None Current: Shin Megami Tensei 1 Squirtodyle has already played: The original English version of Nocturne (Featuring Dante From The Devil May Cry Series), the original version of IV, and the original version...

So, I'm probably at least a decade out of date to do this, but I feel like I've fallen into a slump recently when it comes to writing, and I'm hoping that this might help me get back into some kind of a groove. I first read A Game of Thrones some years ago - and I didn't read it well. Frankly...

Galaxy Spiral Prologue -or- Barry's Horrible, Terrible, No-Good, Very Bad Idea. --- "An area of note in the Mystic Ruins are the extensive lands recently set aside as a Chao Garden. A Chao Garden is a special nature reserve for the mysterious and elusive species known as Chao. A peaceful...

BLINK IS AT IT AGAIN WITH HIS LATEST HYPERFIXATION. Let's see if I finish this one. For the record, I am not going past season one and intend to make this self-contained. __________________________________________________________________________________ “Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel, a...

You are alone. Odd. Once, you never would have considered this state noteworthy, since it had been all you knew. You're not sure how long the state lasts. And then, a familiar-yet-strange sensation. Another person's thoughts, at the edge of your awareness. You respond eagerly - like all of your...

“Prithee… what dost thou mean, ‘no’?” In a realm beyond starlight, where dusk and dawn comingled, divinity remained above all. To be a God was to be a power unto oneself, to bear both the responsibilities of office and the power to execute. Such beings answered to two masters, and two alone...

This isn't going anywhere right away, as I have three separate stories I'm working on. However, Verdant Green, while not exactly close to its end, is the most likely story to get finished first. And frankly, given how much I've liked Goddess of Victory, Nikke, I figure this would be an...

You wake up falling out of a strange, fleshy pod. Your head hurts, pounds in a chaotic rhythm. Your first attempt to stand up only worsens the feelings and drops you to your knees. Lann: Whoa! Easy there, Commander! Daeran: This feels worse than the worst hangover I ever experienced, and...

Denji blinked. Once, twice, then three times just to make sure he wasn't seeing things. "Am I back in Hell again?" Ordinarily, one would balk at the blatant nonchalance and lack of shock on his face, especially considering the world he lived in. Denji was not "normal" in any sense of the word...

New Moon, Old Blood Chapter 1 - Asphodel Kanae Kocho was going to die. She could feel it in every breath she took. Normally, a person was not too aware of their own breathing. It was automatic; just something their body did naturally without them even having to think about it. But for a demon...

So that the original thread doesn't end up one long series of boxes and black bars~ Completed: FFI to VIII Current: Tactics Omi has already played (to some extent): FFIX (vaguely remembers), FFXIV Please do not directly quote Omicron in this thread, though quoting in a way that doesn't ping...

Content Notes: Nothing in particular. Some shock regarding the protagonist's gender identity as a cliffhanger. ___________________________________________________________ Chapter 1: Flower vs. Weed? It’s often said that the same plant which in some places is considered a flower or herb can in...

WARNING! FIRE EMBLEM ENGAGE SPOILERS WILL BE PRESENT WITHIN THIS WORK. VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED. DO NOT TELL ME YOU HAVEN’T BEEN WARNED. You weren’t ever expecting to wake up again, to be honest. Quite frankly, you’re completely and utterly baffled that somehow, you still draw breath. So...

It was a blade so sharp you could be cut just looking at it. Steel that glistened so perfectly it could blind someone, not from the intensity of the shine, but from how beautiful it was. Intricate, thorn-like designs that wrapped from the pitch-black handle all the way to the tip of the blade...

The General Feats thread for the Star Wars Legends universe. Try to keep your posts to single feats or narrow topics, as I'll be compiling an index later on. I'll also try to put together some character and vehicle bios that link to several feats. Scans and some sort of discussion/calculation...

What is a hero? To Anna, a hero is a being who performs impossible deeds, saves damsels in distress from beasts, and stands in defense of the common folk without any ulterior motives. Don't get her wrong, while she loved the idea of idealistic heroes like those told in epic tales, she held no...

Chapter 1 – A High Entia Was Lost "Sparks, turn off the lights," Eunie grumbles, wriggling on a hard surface of unknown type and material as the sounds of the sea wash in her ear. Wakefulness comes to her not with a gentle push into consciousness, but a glare of sudden light that makes the...

It's been out for three years but I'll say it again: major Three Houses spoilers here, and everywhere in this quest. Shambhala, the Secret City. For millennia, it has sat buried under rock and steel, the last vestige of the fallen land of Agartha. Laid low by the wrath of the Fell Star Sothis...

Your city was on fire and you were dying. But that wasn’t important. What was important was the sky. A shade so different from the deep red you were used to. A light blue the color of the sea in ancient paintings that had hung in your father’s manor, well your manor now. But none of those...

Before the world was called Remnant it was a world of dreams and stories. Where noble knights clashed with learned wizards, where cunning thieves could steal your shadow while pursued by miraculous monks, only for the wise witch to show that your shadow had been with you all along. But the...

Adam was mad. Blake left. Then that human BITCH strong-armed him and the Fang into working for her. So it was understandable when he decided to go slaughter some humans at a dig site that they found during the last hunting trip. He will let his anger recede after he spills some blood. Of...

Wassup, it's me, ya boy, bad writing decisions. Funny story, that Comic Sans thing about writing more when using it? It works. Anyways, Elden Ring is a blast, and I have played Genshin Impact. Apologies for any liberties or headcanons I take with Elden Ring, it IS a Soulsborne game after-all...

Departure Taylor struggles to open the door to her prison became weaker and weaker, as despair and exhaustion caught up with her. Just as she was about to black out, she sees two enormous beings, circling around each other, and shedding parts of themselves. One of those parts is falling towards...
