Status of the story: I have turned "Complete" on for this story, although it is entirely possible I may revise the story in the future. I rather like this story and so I will want to keep it in the best of condition as I advance my skills as a writer. For all intents and purposes, the story is complete, little to no changes to the plot will be made (most likely). Happy Reading!

Starsnatcher - Trapped In An Alien World [COMPLETE] by PASharp

Imagine you were trapped. Not on a deserted island, but lightyears away from Earth on a distant moon. Then you might be Lucas Anderson. It's the year 2037. Mankind has discovered two wormholes into foreign worlds; much to our misfortune. Near the isolated town of Ernstburgh, two college students have just disappeared, likely due to the beings that came through the wormholes. Seeking to escape his depressing day-to-day life, 20-year old Lucas Anderson decides to investigate the disappearances, only to become a victim himself, too. Once he wakes up on a distant moon, he knows he must get back to Earth. On his quest, he meets several aliens and eventually the two college students. Together, they embark on an interstellar adventure of galactic proportions, seeking to understand the truth behind what's going on. [-] New chapters will be released every Sunday, if possible. Occasional bonus content is released on Tuesdays. Credit goes to hridiv for this fantastic cover. Wordcount of about 160,000 words (don't know the exact number).

Unbound by DarrylTempleAuthor

The idea of space excites me. Yet, as history tells us, has always been difficult for humans to reach. Myself included. So why not experience that adventure by talking my way onto a pirate crew... ... And trying to abduct its notorious captain? Little did I know who I was dealing with. My name is Simon Fox and I'm fresh out of flunking freighter school. Don't tell anyone that by the way because I lied on my resume. No one does that, right? The pirate ship in question is called the Unbound. It's that piece of scrap metal on the cover and it goes from zero to sarcasm faster than mag travel. The crew are smelly, crazy and annoying. I also hope they can't read. Anyway, you might be wondering why a space flunky is attempting this crazy mission. I have a good reason, and it starts with a master plan and an entry hatch...

From the ashes rose the Commonwealth - Eleven systems struggling to survive the aftermath and rebuild civilisation with the remnants of the technology they once had.

But some things are buried for a reason, and some secrets should never be revealed... **The Juggernaut is part one of an exciting space action-adventure mystery series.**

Exodus Nebula by BMFox_

In a small, Positivist-controlled city, Gireiah Copeigh of Yun, a renowned astronomer and theoretician, witnesses a revelled and worshipped event of deep antiquity: a Vanishing. Of the twelve stars visible on the celestial sphere, eleven remain. Following the event, a strange yet deliberate phenomenon splayed across the sky--mysterious astronomical activities with perhaps principally scientific interpretations, or perhaps the chiseled, fleeting abstractions of gods... In this distant space and time, Gireiah sets out to find an old reclusive friend, an aid to help uncover the truth about the world's newly molested skies, as well as the purpose and mechanism responsible for the Vanishings themselves. The paths of others like himself cross, and in these trekkings, an awful truth of their universe is revealed. This is Exodus Nebula, a novella of about 55,000 words, or twenty-four chapters. The mannerism and syntax of the writing can be a bit... dense. You'll have to excuse me for that. This was never supposed to be a serious attempt at a completed story, yet here it is. At about halfway through, I decided I didn't like the mannerisms at all and that it would be better off as a story entirely rewritten. Instead, I kept up with it anyway and made amends nearer the end. It was a mistake now learnt. If you choose to read past, oh, chapter five, where the story begins to pick up momentum in my opinion, I hope you enjoy. I've included a lot of themes I find intriguing and attempted to make the world wholly open for the reader's interpretation--which was the intent of this project, more or less: a practice of worldbuilding. Thanks, and again, enjoy! Exodus Nebula Copyright © 2018 Brayden M. Fox All Rights Reserved Cover art by BMF

Into the Void by Poundcake93

It is the year 2351 and the galaxy is expanding. Planets all across settled space are preparing for the next great wave of expansion. Ships are sailing out into the black in search of new homes for humanity. As the next wave of colony ships prepare to leave the frontier, pilot Nate Levin finds himself alone and destitute on a backwater space station. The void is a dangerous place and when pirates attack his home, Nate is left with one choice: leave everything behind and pray for a fresh start on a new planet. When his ship arrives, Nate and his crew find that their new home is nowhere near as safe as it seems. Danger is all around, help is light-years away, and it's up to the crew to pull together and save themselves.

Earthrise: 2176 [Published - Sample Only] by WillFlyForFood

What if we were the first in our part of the galaxy to discover the secret of faster than light travel? What if this discovery was 10,000 years before it was supposed to be? Our neighbors had been watching for centuries and were surprised with our early arrival into the Web of Worlds... The Year is 2166: To the people of Earth, the universe seemed to be a very lonely place. Astronomers have discovered tens of thousands of planets; many had indications of organic life. SETI had been searching for signals for over 200 years. There had been a few tantalizing bits of radio or radar energy received but nothing ever proven to be of intelligent origin. But there was an alien civilization out there, in fact many of them linked together in a Web of Worlds. They were watching us quietly, carefully and patiently. It had long been the prime directive of the Web that no developing civilization be contacted until that civilization made it into interstellar space on their own; and that always took time, lots of time. Most Web worlds took 1,000 years or more to go from steam to the atom and none had made it from the atom to a sublight stardrive in less than 5,000 standard years. Every civilization of The Web had proven that faster than light travel was impossible, so there was plenty of time to watch the Earth... The watchers were astounded with the speed of progress of human science and also horrified at the periods of violence. By 2076 nuclear fusion power was widespread on earth. By 2100 the first interplanetary fusion ships explored the Sol system. The men and women of the Anglosphere Alliance began their first missions in ships approaching 0.1c. At that velocity, manned flight to even the nearest stars would take a lifetime. What would happen if a beautiful engineer and a brilliant physicist stumbled upon an artificial gravity field which would make a faster than light drive possible...

0-SA (The Last Ship Series) by NikolaiWolfe

18+ (Xenophile) Smut. Violence. Gore. Foul Language. The year is 3787, the Earth is in ruin, and the infectious spores plagues the world below. After many failed attempts to remove the spore infection and the intelligent lifeforms that brought it known as the Irinaut, several large ships were sent into space to save the human race, but some people remained. Those who stayed, either had no choice in the matter or were part of the expedition crews. The people who were looking for some sort of cure all. Some, scientists looking to communicate or even experiment on the Irinaut race. Though it wasn't only the infection they had to worry about. Infected Irinaut were aggressive, and finding one without the sickness at this point was seeming out of reach with no hopes of communicating. That is, until now. A group of soldiers had been left with a task of transporting precious cargo. After several facilities being attacked by the estranged Irinaut, a young soldier known as Raven, finds herself curious to why this Irinaut is so important in finding. The being wasn't like other's any of them had seen. They wanted to know how it was possible in the world that was nothing but desert, and infection. 0-Sa was also alone, which was unusual for the species. The Irinaut became valuable quite quickly, having found no spore infection visibly on him. The team had one job, obtain and return the creature alive, but they would soon come to find out that the cargo would be more difficult to transport then they thought.

Paradigm Shift by Mavromichaelis

Killing-that's all he ever thinks about. . .there is an imposter on the ship who thinks he can save humanity by killing them. But how can he easily eradicate the human species? The quick answer: a biological weapon-alien if you will-that feeds off of human flesh. ***** After Taylor's home is destroyed on Titan (a habitable moon orbiting Saturn), he is forced to leave the only place he has known. However, during his travels, he stumbles upon government information explaining a declaration of war if Artemis Watson is not returned to its rightful owner. . . Artemis Watson, however, is an Android capable of human feelings (but his father, Doctor Peter Watson, does not know of his human capabilities). Soon, when a virus infects Artemis, he begins producing a biological weapon from his studies- -years before, a civil war broke out on Mars. Artemis discovered genetic mutants-aliens- stored in a warehouse on the outskirts of the war zone and since then has been working toward an evolutionary breakthrough. He is curious, but curiosity eventually killed the cat if not everyone. Cover: Evelyn @mortifero- (so far my absolute favorite cover)
