The Land of the Forgotten, the Anti-Plane, Purgatory of Purgatory, the Repository; there were a great many names for the place that you had ended up. But names were just the mind's way of attempting to understand, to conceptualize, and this place was beyond conceptualization. It was a vast plain...

The forest is calm and as the sun rises over a stream onto a clearing so do large groups of people start to rise. Confusion and a mild panic hits the crowd, they are in a new time and place taken from there lives, there homes, everything. They have only the clothes on there back, and there is no...

Day 1 If you are reading this, then I am dead. I am vaguely aware that obituaries are written by the deceased's kin after the fact, but I have decided to be a bit more proactive in that regard. I doubt any of the seagulls above me or the crabs below would deign to write such a thing, the...

"It's not the end of the world, but you can see it from here." Those were the last words that your closest friend spoke to you before Atlas' Cross Continental Transmit Tower collapsed. It had been a major triumph, getting the Tower working again, a major boost to Atlas' struggling morale. In...

Hey guys, and welcome to our zombie survival quest where YOU take control of some poor sap trying to survive a zombie apocalypse. Our world is an original one which is extremely inspired by our own modern(western) one, so most things can be taken for granted with that. Some interesting things...

Happy Second Anniversary everyone. I wanted to celebrate by launching some content that I had left sitting on the back burner for a while. I wasn't really satisfied with the original version of this quest, so here is a relaunch attempt. Also, another old project of mine will be making a return...

On behalf of Sasahara17, I'm posting a story written by him. He feels that the amount of verbiage he sent over is long enough to be given it's own thread for the sake of keeping things simple. He's also let me know that the next update won't be until next month, so don't hold your breath. Too...

The blonde teen sat down on the opposite end of the table from me, and I resist sighing. She only tries to distance herself like that when she's pissed... I idly wonder what I did to bother her this time, but come up blank. Ignoring that for the moment I set my lunchbox down at the table...

Earth: 2657. Peace reigns on Earth. The Last War has ended, and the new world order, officially the Pan-Terran Meritocracy, has, as the name strongly implies, put the world in order. An era of prosperity is sure to result, bringing the greatest golden age of humanity. There's only one problem...

[I'm a writer who's still quite rookie at posting on forums. I posted a few stories in the user fiction zone of this forum. I got some quick notes and then fixed them there. A good friend and frequent visitor suggested me to post in the (fan)fiction discussion zone, to gain some critical...

AN: This has been added to this post long after its initial writing, but its something I feel should be pointed out to new people arriving to this thread. You may have noticed the Mature tag at the front of this, and you may have concerns or hopes as to what this means. While I am aware much of...

This started as fiction related to the Power Armor CYOA, though the characters and their stories are my creation. I'm now posting it as an independent, (sort of) original work. Comments and criticism are welcome and appreciated. Tales of a Power Armor Apocalypse On September 5, 2014, thousands...
