This is the story I'm doing for NaNoWriMo, so pardon the rough bits of writing in it. Basically, the universes of videogames and the Internet collide with reality, and fourteen-year-old Valve and her friend Flash have to fight off various characters as everyone fights for territory. Meanwhile, Valve has to train the members of Muse and their families to fight for themselves. Or something like that. I honestly have no idea where this story is going, which is bad, considering it's NaNo, so let's hope I can sustain a plot for the next month!!! :D

The Arena Saga: Bronze Tier by InsanelyCorrupted
9 parts Ongoing Mature
The High Tower infected Earth's population and only those strong enough to survive the conversion from human to nano-human sapiens were allowed to continue living on the ground level as Bottom Feeders. Over half the world's population fell to the new world order. Zaphrina is a Nomad Healer in the Golden Arena. Not having the restrictions of a guild has its perks and pays better. Surviving alone in a world where everyone is trying to live forever is easier with the laws of Guilds and Zaph has survived since humanity fell to the High Tower over two centuries ago without joining the halls. The rules of the Bottom Feeders are easy. You either survive by taking refuge in the Guild Halls or you level up enough to be able to survive the conditions of floor levels. Zaph has it easy for the most part. Her older brother Max has been looking out for her since their conversion. Their parents didn't survive the change. Max is one of the newest but deadliest Guild Masters in the Arenas and often contracts Zaph to help in battles. He's begged her for years to join his guild, but she's never wanted to be part of them. She likes her peace and prefers to be alone than surrounded by those who would see her dead if the opportunity arose. Zaph's peace comes to an end when her brother reveals that former members of his guild had fallen victim to the recent murders in NeoGlover City and their son was left orphaned. Cody, the eleven-year-old second-generation nano-humanoid child, stands to inherit a vast territory that could make any guild the most powerful in the NeoGlover sector. Friends turn foes when the guilds find out that this kid has one of the most valuable accounts she's ever seen. To save Cody, Zaph is forced to solve the twelve recent murders in the city that will grant her an audience with the High Tower council who will remove the territories and return them to the city in exchange for Cody's adult-level updates.

The Adventures of Morley and Boots: The crew of the Leapfrog travel randomly about the galaxy in search of unique lifeforms to trap & trade. Intra-galactic poaching is profitable, but risky - like when an Evil Intergalactic Empire accuses you of capturing their Goddess, and you don't even know which critter she is! End Game: In an alternate near-future Indochina, Imperial France still rules, much to the chagrin of the local Siamese. Ratana's brother is captain of a premiere league football team, and a hero to the Siamese - and when he is booted from the squad to make space for the son of a powerful nobleman, it sets off a chain of events that could result in the toppling of the Empire. Self-Assembly Required: Human civilization has been almost entirely destroyed by a catastrophic plague of nanites, but one city remains, hidden and protected by Hydra, a team of all-female nano/human hybrids. Is the arrival of a roguish, lone-wolf mercenary a sign that human civilization is recovering, or the event that could destroy the few remaining survivors? The Woman from Mars: The robotic crew of the Basilisk thought humans were gone, long gone. But when they are sucked back in space and time to Jupiter's moon Europa in 2552, they discover a Viking civilization with the technology to rebuild human civilization - assuming the woman from Mars can complete her mission. Blasted Futures is a short story collection.
