"Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not." - Isaac Asimov This piece is intended as a bit of a Help guide, a point of reference and hopefully something people will enjoy, as ultimately all of you will have different experiences reading and writing science fiction, and writing in general. If nothing else, I hope it inspires you to try your hand at writing Science Fiction if you haven't already.

[Camp Nanowrimo Project] They watched him grow up from the gaps in the floorboards. They waited for his dreams to die and his hope to wither. They fed on his dying childhood. They. The monsters.

--Watty winner-- In Victorian London, monster hunting isn't just a job, it's a way of life. Freddie Westman, a reporter for a paranormal magazine, is one of the best in the business, but now it's personal. His childhood friend, Jim Penderry, has disappeared, and the signs point to sinister forces from beyond the grave. If Westman wants to save Jim, he'll have to face his worst fear. No, not fighting a demon with only a cake to hand. Something far more daunting. Sceptical Sophie Penderry doesn't solve mysteries or go on adventures. She's more at home in the library with her nose in The Botanist's Guide to Plants and Fungi. But she puts the science books away to help Westman find her missing brother, whether he likes it or not. Which he really doesn't. Westman is a loner, reluctant to lead anyone into danger. According to him, the supernatural is not just the stuff of folklore and children's nightmares, and a world of black magic awaits them. Now Westman must decide if he should push Sophie away for her own safety, or take a leap of faith and accept an offer of help and friendship. Either way, time is running out to find Jim, and worse still, they may not make it back in time for tea and biscuits. ~Featured story (Sep 2014 - Aug 2017) ~Selected by R.L.

"There's a war going on, Katarina," he hissed into my ear. "Remember which side you're on. And know that neither is the right one." This world was built on power, lies and corruption. Our hands were always stained with blood. Our eyes were windows to the soul - but as we had no souls - they were completely empty. We're fated to just be pawns in a war: soldier, healer, leader... destroyer. Pray you're not the last one. You're dead if you're the last one. Katarina Arrowglass is seventeen, can see the futures of most people around her and has the damning legacy of being the next leader of the Light: a position that will pass from her father to her. But knowing every dirty secret and possible future of all those around her makes her wonder: what kind of place would she really be leading? The training tasks mould you into the weapon you'll become for the Light against the Shadow. Find your way through the maze and hope you remember the skills that will get you out of there alive. Fight with your friends - and hope that when your back's turned to them, you won't be stabbed. Survive. Just survive. Her partner in training is Ryder Stellaire and the same as her: leaders for parents, bright future ahead and enough suspicion to last a lifetime. The same - and yet not completely. Just as she's hiding growing fears, he's got his own secrets and soon enough, she'll uncover them all. She just doesn't know if she wants to. Anyone can look good. But don't pay attention to appearance. Because inside, you know what you'll find. Because in this book, everybody's bad. Readers... don't get too attached.
