urban fantasy

Urban Fantasy, especially the ones with masquerades, have always been something I loved. So it comes to no surprise that I am actively working on my own original fiction in such a setting. And may even post a quest of it when I gather the confidence. But there is something I'm struggling with...

I’ve almost broken into the library when the girl with the goggles drops on me. She’s shorter than me, but then I chose to be tall for a girl. Her gear looks like it’s high-tech rather than mystic; a form-fitting suit in dark, migraine pattern digital camouflage, equipment webbing; and the...

First of all, this quest will contain mature themes and content (mostly gross and scary stuff, as well as naughty words and people being awfull to each other). While not explicit (both due to SV rules and me not being good enough at writing to avoid sounding like a 13 year old edgelord), I'd...

In an undisclosed location, buried within a mountain surrounded by a barren and snow-covered wasteland, is a base. Those who own and operate said base might insist that it is, in fact, little more than a military base... This is assuming, of course, that the individual asking was meant to be...

There are those who live in the Light. They don't see the shadows gathering around them. They don't see the war being fought in front of their closed eyelids. They live in blissful ignorance, walking though life, unsullied by the truth of the world. But not you. You are a Hunter. You are the...

AN: Well, I decided to take a little break from writing Key of Chak Chel, so here's something new. I hope you like the first chapter, updates will be sporadic, since I'm doing an awful amount of formal writing in my last year of undergrad but I'll try not to let too large a gap go between...

- - - - - Prologue: Brave New World - - - - - Sorcery. Witchcraft. Monsters. The Supernatural. Magic. One of the greatest mysteries in existence. A land where that which should not exist, does exist. Where the laws of man and nature are broken and left far behind. The stuff of dreams. Even...

The strange package lies before you, wrapped in violet leather adorned with spiral designs. You can smell lilac and something unidentifiable from it, like some kind of odd incense. From the shape and the feel it had in your hands, it probably holds a hardcover book. But no other clues exists...

A life lived long is one sustained with work. Wiling away at monotonous tasks so as to obtain the means to fuel ones existence, only to spend that bought time working. On and on the cycle goes. It is the way of things. Yet, there exist some who wonder if that must be so. For surely there is more...

As the title say, this is a rewrite of the entire Bleach manga in written form with substantial changes to worldbuilding, characters and plot to fit what (in my personal opinion and taste) would be a more logical and satisfying progression. Due to said changes, previous knowledge of Bleach...

Ok guys. I'm writing Campione fiction. Japanese light novel series. The prose is fine. Schlocky harem series involving god-killing. I like the 'gods-descend from world-of-myth' thing, to overlook its flaws. Here's the thing. The worldbuilding is bare bones. There's jack shit there. Lots of...

Synopsis: Eight years later a former magical girl is called out of retirement when a new threat arises, and no other heroes are able to take up the mantle. Chapter 1 - Change The rain came down unrelentingly as she made her way through the darkened streets, the heavy droplets pounding...

Transcending history and time, legends bring to us our basic humanity: the grand ideals, triumphs and tragedies of heroes whose existence is less truth than it is meaning. They are the founding blocks of our communities, which bring us together within unreal memories. We each know of one story...

DO NOT ENTER IF YOU HAVE PLAYED THE MASKS OF DESTINY Does anyone wanna play a game of pseudo D&D? I will require a somewhat basic knowledge of the game, but I will be making several changes to the lore of the land as well as a few other things. Also, we will be playing in a modern fantasy...

"In the beginning, there was no such thing as magic- hard to believe, I know. Humans had their beliefs and hopes, but that lack of knowing bred desperation. Sure, it led to the formation of civilization, but also created humans so afraid of death they lusted after and abused their power. "...

On the outskirts of the capital city of the Vermillion Empire is the prestigious Imperial Magus Academy. It is the birthplace of countless grand heroes and famed scholars, the forge that turns talented whelps into skilled practitioners of the magical arts. It is the oldest magic academy in the...

Every chapter is beta'd by @Magery and @somnolentSlumber As a more serious attempt at a rewrite of an older fic of mine (To Those Who Fell), with some actual worldbuilding. This title has been brought to you by Dermot Kennedy's 'Lost'. YOU DO NOT NEED TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE CROSSOVER...

Chapter One ************** Winters in Brockton Bay were rarely all that cold. Something about that sea breeze just really seemed to bring in mild air year-round. Tonight was different. The winds from the northwest had picked up and blown down Lord’s Street, roiling over the spurious territories...

The Moonlit World. An innocent name for that which lies beneath the surface of the bustling 21st century, hungrily grasping for those that walk past them unaware. The shadow in the night, the rustle in the woods, the blankly smiling face that never looks quite right at your door. But, in a...

Hey SV! So this will be my first thread on the forum, and also the first time I've posted my original fiction...well, anywhere. But I've been mulling over this idea for years now, and if I don't start posting it, then I might never finish it. Please be completely honest in your critiques; good...

So I've been thinking of Urban fantasy. And writing some story in it. Then I realized that I'm far more comfortable writing about exploding mountains. So yes, this thread was made. 1) Disappearances Bodies have been showing up, lately, in the downtown areas and alleys. All homeless or poor...

INDEX (because threadmarks aren’t working) 1. The Director’s office is a testament to banal professionalism. No doubt to more than just mortal senses, it’ll be a cacophony of wards and illusions, hiding cameras, blocking scrying spells, a hundred defences ready to lash out and destroy a...
