A university hosted award winning short-story about two exceptionally talented twins: one with an amazing gift for music, and the other the greatest scientific mind in his generation. Critics of the writing competition had this to say about the story:

- '"Heartsong"... attempts an ambitious narrative structure, and it had some genuinely moving moments... The linkage between science and art was quite moving-the implication that the two songs are the same, with one brother capturing it through art and the other through science, is really a nice touch.'

- "The narrative structure is familiar, but well done, with a narrative frame containing a backstory. We don't the know the significance or what is at stake with any of it until the very end. Sometimes that doesn't work well for a story, but in this case, I think the author pulled it off, due in large part to the compelling description, subject matter, and character development."

First Light of a New Age by TIMEMASTER101
118 parts Ongoing
In a distant realm where magic thrives, ferocious beasts shake mountains and rivers with their mighty roars, and individuals wield superhuman strength capable of reshaping their surroundings. It is a magical world where the strong rules. But rampant corruption and chaos exist, where slavery, rape, murder, and discrimination against the weak were all but common. The magically superior people trample over the lesser unfortunate folks, using them as stepping stones and disposable assets. All hope for these downtrodden souls seems lost, but the wheels of fate have other plans for them. In a faraway ocean, one that is filled with demons and sea monsters, a great technological civilization suddenly appeared, one that came from a world that is only filled with chaos and destruction. This civilization became the heaven for people seeking a stable and peaceful life. The Earth rose and seas parted ways, and the environment had totally changed for its adaptability. Unfortunately, the inhabitants of this great technological civilization are all but manaless, arriving in a world where they are seen as inferior and as slaves. How will they react of finding themselves in a world where people can split mountains or bend the fabric of space, and where beings exist that even conventional weapons cannot defeat? How will they survive against deadly monsters, magical beasts, and superhumans that could threaten entire nations? And how will the other powers that exist in this world react to a powerful, advanced nation filled with a race they deem inferior? This is the story of one of the most powerful empires on Earth, and how it broke the balance of power and rose to the top.
