Tapping Spiders Project book 1 (intended to be 1 of 3)


A friend of mine categorized this story as science fiction, although I personally feel that I could make a case for fantasy or horror.  But I'll go with that because I was never able to classify it properly for my own satisfaction.    

Perhaps Marill could have done better.

It all began with the War, with the cult of Liss and the King's Knights, a war that never happened since those events and everything concerning concerning them were wiped from history and forgotten.  But not everything was wiped away and elusive remnants of those times still remain.

In a small town that civilization has almost but not quite caught up with there's a local story, an urban legend, concerning pale spiders and  a cave, and tapping in the night...

The Alpha's Human by ap_cooper

WAIT! Before reading this blurb or adding the book to your library, I want to provide a disclaimer: This book is very poorly written and juvenile as I wrote it when I was 12, but if the idea of it or the blurb is something you would like, check out the rewritten version on my profile instead, The Alpha's Human [Rewritten]!! - The world has been overrun by wolves. They're everywhere; no one can escape them. They overcome any obstacle thrown their way, and they'll slaughter anyone obstructing their paths. These creatures have completely taken over the wolves, and no human is safe from them. Except one place. The Wall, a large village where humans have taken their last stand. It's refuge to any, with one exception: no wolves. Lyssa Irwin's family are hunters. They pillage the woods, tracking and killing all wolves they come across. It's always been drilled into her head that these creatures destroy everything and take and take and take. So when she comes across the alpha of one of the biggest werewolf packs in North America and he claims they are mates, the end results are not good.

Demon Wars [FINISHED] by stxrcrxssed

(This was my first book and hella crappy. When I tried to rewrite it, it didn't work so it's still the terrible version) Demons and Angels, Light and Dark, are again on the brink of war. A prophecy, however, was relayed to the two kingdoms, speaking of a human warrior who would rise and heal the millenia of bloodshed. Cue Ailith Everstone; clever, sarcastic, brave, beautiful and incredibly annoying. She's the most powerful Incarnate of the Phoenix goddess, sent to save all the realms from the most devastating tragedy. She meets the Hunter Ramírez, the Prince of Darkness and military genius, who helps her play a deadly game of ballgowns, charm and swordplay. The fate of the realms and balance of the cosmos are at stake. Two emotionally unstable teenagers sent to save the world; seems legit.

The Light of Miera: A Guard's Request (Book 1) by WriterMashashy

(Epic Fantasy/LGBT Romance) COMPLETED & PUBLISHING A Guard's Request will be published with Fantastic Books Publishing in October of 2023, but I have decided to leave this early draft up for anyone who can't wait until then. With the creation of the Valnyr Galaxy, the Guardians vowed never to interfere with the affairs of the mortal realm. However, when sinister forces seek to steal the power of the Manastream, Alamantra's Guardian finds that some oaths are easier to keep than others. Life is about to change for the citizens of Freya as a blight sweeps across the land, corrupting the mana held within their bodies. Princess Arafrey finds herself stripped of all she holds dear, alone on the frontlines. However, there is hope as guards Reyla and Tharin take on a quest from the Gods to cure the sickness, leaving Freya to traverse the Ten Kingdoms in search of The Hand of Miera. But will they be able to find it in time? Meanwhile, in the East, The Duran Empire marshals their forces as the Emperor seeks to invade the starved desserts of Sudra. But the Sudra hold a terrible secret and Queen Nymati will not go down without a fight. * * * Imagine if Tim Burton and Joss Whedon got together to make a story to rival Full Metal Alchemist or Fairy Tail: that's my writing style. I hit some pretty deep topics but I try keep it light and entertaining. Trigger Warnings/Mature Content: I will post trigger warnings at the beginning of scenes to warn people, but let's make a list here just to be sure. Sex, survivors guilt, suicide, rape, murder, gay/lesbian sex, masturbation, assault, torture, addiction... There maybe more I missed, let me know if you feel I should add anything else.

The Phoenix Girl (Editing) by SwishyMermaid

"Have I ever told you the story of The Phoenix Girl?" My Grandfather asked. "No, you have not," I said. My Grandfather was like any other old man, but his mind was far from ordinary. All grandfathers are alike, each one tells you stories about wars or the good old days. But not my Grandfather. He was a storyteller, but his stories were always different. He would just come up with the stories, and they would be so enrapturing to me. It hooked me from the beginning until the moment I had to leave. But then one day, he told me a story that would change everything for me and my Father. This story called the Phoenix Girl. It's a story of a girl who goes through hardships and struggles in her everyday life. They punish her for things she has no control over, but then she faces it all. She is reborn from the ashes of the flames that had consumed her. She is stronger. But what if this isn't just some story that my grandpa came up with? What if something connected her to my family? What will happen now that the truth is out there? Why was this story so important? What will change? Who is this Phoenix Girl? [Please note that this story is complimented but is under heavy editing at the moment]

Once Connected by CatesPencil

Once upon a time, there lived a poor little girl in the dirty streets of the human world. With her parents gone and her having to survive alone, she became strong and stiff. As the little girl grew older, she learned dark secret of heart-break, forever sealing her heart in a wall of steel. From that day forward she decided never to want to love again. With her heart set, she became one of the best thieves around, cold-hearted and smart. She went by the code name "Nightstrike". Nobody knew who this thief was, or how to stop them. She was as fast as lightning and left without a trace when morning came. However, one day she was finally caged. Her jail was those crystal green eyes and light blonde hair. With one flash of that dazzling smile she bowed down, her steel heart broken by the man. The man was captivated by this poor little thief and his heart fell for her. The two ran off together, never wanting to stop staring into each other's love struck eyes, and not caring about the world. The girl forever knew that he was only hers and he knew that she was only his. Then they lived happily ever after. Except, that's not how the story went. That 'happily ever after' never happened. Actually, everything in the last two paragraphs never happened. My name is Syrina. I am NightStrike and I have entered the largest pack in the world. My cousin, my mortal enemy. My heart, stone. But my fighting spirit, burning with desire. With the brink of war of rogues and power-hungry men versus pure and powerful mythicals, my story has just begun. And my knives, have yet to strike...

The first one by meanlittledutchgirl

Book 1. If there was a way to forget all the horrible things life had done to you. A way to get away from the people who made you miserable day after day. A way to start over. Would you take it? Alec did. After he found out his biggest bully was his mate he wanted nothing more than to forget everything and start over. And with a little help from a powerful warlock in purple polka dot shorts he did just that. But fate just has to be a bitch sometimes... But just because it is meant to be... doesn't mean that you have to go with it... right!? Oh and don't tell the poor boy about the prophecy ... cause it's sucks..

New Year, New Beginnings by CanadianDaredevil

My retake on Spider-Man's Origin Story, set on Earth-1612. The story starts off with Peter as a regular teenager, he gets his powers in a later chapter. Please leave comments, requests, and kudos, so I can see get ideas and encouragement to write the story. I don't own Marvel, or anything in this story except the plot. I'm more active on ao3.

Pure of Mind and Sharp of Knife (Male Reader x Female Creepypasta) by TheDukeOfWolves

First of all, I do not own any characters within this book -- only a few minor characters are of my creation. The Creepypasta characters are all owned by their respective creators which do not include myself. It began with a nightmare: a sea of blood and mountains of corpses as far as the eye could see. Ever since then, nightmares have become reality. After your wishes for something interesting to happen in your life, it comes at a dire cost. You have been thrown into a war happening under the nose of every human in the world despite the lives of them all being at stake. There is no turning back. Peace does not last long. You are in a strange new world: a world where the strong eat the weaklings alive. The only comfort you have in this cruel world is a company of killers, manipulators, and beings of uncertain origins. How will you end this war? In blood? Or in love? P.S. The POV will be in 1st person. This is simply my preference when it comes to writing stories. Hopefully this will be to your liking and, if you have come back to these types of Creepypasta fanfics often, that this gets you excited to see something new!
