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...

Whispers of Nowhere by RebelDynasty

**AVAILABLE ON AMAZON** (Book One in the Whispers of Nowhere trilogy) When Gwen's father gets home late from work, it's just another typical night for the museum curator's daughter. Still, there's something strange about the artifacts he's brought home this time, something so unique that she can't help but touch them. In a blinding flash, the artifacts vanish, and a mysterious man appears in their place. Only he's not a man at all. Forneus is a daemon, an intermediary between gods and man-and the guardian of the very artifacts Gwen has just unwittingly sent back to their places of origin around the globe. Gwen doesn't have time to absorb this before a new figure emerges: Phenex, the human-personification of the legendary bird, himself. The next thing she knows, she's being whisked away from the comfort of her home into a world beyond her wildest imaginings. When she thinks things couldn't possibly get any more complicated, she's proven wrong. Because those bizarre artifacts? They were protective seals to a place called Nowhere; a prison realm created by the gods to contain all of the malevolent forces Gwen has only heard about in bedtime stories. Now those very same forces are on the rampage, intent on revenge against the gods whom imprisoned them-and they don't care who else gets hurt along the way. Possessing innate powers she can't even begin to understand, it is up to Gwen and her two mysterious allies to reclaim the lost artifacts before someone far more sinister does...

We Only Have The Night (Completed) by agcor85

Night Dantas wakes up in her apartment in London completely confused, terrified of sunlight and all the things that she used to love in the city. Before that she only remembered she was drunk in a pub and a voice of a man that promised her she would feel again and she would meet her tears she could never cry... Since then she can't face the sun, the artificial sounds and the combination of smells of the city got her disturbed, but she also felt capable of things she never could. Trying to run away from pain, Night went back to her roots in Portugal, to find out some peace. One year after Night came back to the portuguese village of Gondar, she keeps doomed to an existence of moonlight and a silent sadness where the woods are her night home. She only feels comfort there but she isn't the only sinister creature rounding the woods. With the help of her best friend Lili and José, the man madly in love with her, she will face her demons and will learn she can be loved even if she only has the night to offer. A first part of a romance with some science fiction in between (second part will start soon to be written). Hope you enjoy this story! :) (P.S.: This first part is finished and totally edited. I guess it's not perfect because English is not my first language, so any tip you dear readers want to add about any english errors you see in this story, it will be well appreciated :D )

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..

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.

Wrong number :/~~Spider-Man by dragondemonzxy

Peter texts Ned (completely original I know, bear with me I beg of you) but plot twist?? It's Tony Stark man?? Absolute mad lad gets sucked into a series of unfortunate events, enduring a lot of very concerning and very cute things This book is completed!! A chapter or two may show up every now and again, but they will not be anything other than short spurts of fluff or angst. Also, it slowly derailed from a wrong number fic as I learned how to write. There are still a massive amount of text scenes, but after a while it fades into a normal-ish story, with a lot of yelling (: Hope you enjoy TW
