In the future, the government seems to have little to do with how criminals are judged and penalized-that's all done by the citizens instead. The police still investigate crimes and punish, after a short and on-the-spot trial, all criminals found guilty of any crimes lower than murder. Dozens of walking, dehumanized and lobotomized criminals stand as perfect examples to the citizenry against committing any crime. For the capital crime of murder, an Accuser must formally bring the charge against the one party they believe to be responsible. At random, a citizen must then fill his or her civic duty and judge the Accused, carrying out the punishment-an execution in the same manner of death that the victim suffered-by the end of the trial. There is no room for wrong judgement and, as history shows, once someone is Accused, execution is the kindest and most just answer. Raised to be a pacifist, the newest Judge cannot fathom the course of action he must take against a so-called criminal who seems to be the only person ever wrongfully Accused. Will the Judge make the right choice or make what everyone before him has said is the correct choice?

The Will To by woodlander8

Will is a slut. At least, according to everyone else she is. With a past that both defines her and won't let her go, Will has had enough of the name-calling and assumptions. She's decided to use it all as fuel to get what she wants: to take down Reid Reynolds. Reid is a "bad boy" (a term that makes Will's eyes cross into oblivion) and he represents everything that Will despises. He is a TA in one of her university classes, making her plan even easier. She has an entire year to follow through with her agenda. No problem. It's all under control. Except it isn't. When women start getting assaulted on campus, everything Will is running from begins to catch up with her. She will inevitably have to face it--and decide if getting revenge on the bad boy will actually get her what she wants. NaNoWriMo2021 Warnings: sexual assault, mentions of rape, and stalking.

Feral-Hearted by RavenMoonspark

When the Feral-Hearted started to pop up in the world, normal humans didn't think much of them. Until they realized that they all have special, unique abilities. So now, the humans tend to use them as their weapons, their tools, their cannon fodder. But the Ferals were once human themselves, they just died a horrible death, only to rise up again as Feral-Hearted. And now, they are done with being treated as lesser than humans. The humans want to claim the world as their own, but now, they must share it with those who have more power than their own handmade weapons. So war is inevitable... isn't it?

Rewind: Book 1 - The Third Son by AlleyB255

In a not-so-distant future, three-quarters of the world's population have evolved into superior beings called "the dominants", endowed with extraordinary abilities such as telepathy, telekinesis, teleportation, and more. However, these advanced humans are incapable of killing others. Should they attempt to do so, their highly developed nervous systems release a hormone that induces paralyzing pain throughout their bodies. The remaining quarter of the population, possessing no supernatural powers and no such killing barrier, are derogatorily referred to as "the recessives". One of the few jobs available to "the recessives" is that of executioner, as they can end lives without suffering any repercussions. They are not only scorned for their lack of physical prowess but also feared for their unrestrained capacity for murder. In the prestigious Lanes family, the father is a powerful politician, the mother a successful businesswoman, the eldest son a reliable doctor, the second son a popular police officer, and the youngest daughter a famous, talented idol. For years, no one knew they had a third son. He is Gabriel Lanes, the only "recessive" in the family. After seven years in prison for committing murder, Gabriel is determined to start anew in an unwelcoming world with a huge disadvantage. Can Gabriel catch a break, or will his dark past catch up with him? - Updates weekly on Fridays.

Guardian Reapers - NaNoWriMo2017 by Savy_Pearson

Where do you go when you die? For this kid, it's Purgatory. In fact, quite a few visit Purgatory, but most everyone moves on. Not this kid. They've been saved, by Death himself, for a very different mission. They will be reaping and advising souls, keeping the very balance of the universe. They will be the newest guardian reaper. ____________________________________ He raised the scroll again and proceeded reading. "We have evaluated your life, and you do not clearly fit into a category of the afterlife. For this reason, you have been sent to purgatory to be advised. After your trial period, I will decide where you fit, or whether you'll need a second trial for advising." He paused, looked up at me, and frowned. "What's your name?" "Why?" "It doesn't show up on the document. It should fill in automatically, the second you've been assigned for advising," he explained. "Odd. Very odd. Come with me, you're a separate case." "Separate from what?" "Everyone else, of course." ______________________________________ (Written for NaNoWriMo2017)

Nightswan by micamoney

NANOWRIMO 2019, LET'S GO! :) U.S Army veteran Alessio Milani never asked for the hand fate dealt him. He was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, which led him into the depths of NYC's criminal underground. Now, as director of the infamous smuggling and counterfeiting syndicate known as "The Flight," he commands respect from his people with a just but iron fist, operating with only a few cardinal rules: 1) Keep it clean. 2) No dealing in people. 3) Never touch women without their consent. Alessio takes care of violators personally. He never desired marriage. Considering his clandestine (and illegal) profession, the notion never crossed his mind. The less people known to be associated with him, the less individuals he puts at risk. He finds himself at the altar, however, with a shy bride because his best friend, Thaddeus Andino, asked Alessio to protect his niece...and, well, Alessio's instincts kicked in, and he couldn't say no. He doesn't know how he's going to make this work, and neither does Vasilisa Andino--nay, Vasilisa Milani. Alessio tries to keep her life separate from his as much as possible...but Murphy's law seems to rule differently. Only God knows what'll happen next.

Could this strange duality of free will and fate be challenged? If so, what would it take? How far are you willing to go to change your dark fate? Is the risk of erasing the universe from existence worth your brighter future?

Fresh into her last semester of high school, Len is looking forward to three things: spending time with her recent close-friend-turned-girlfriend, completing a summer road trip with her brother Brendon, and finally, getting the hell out of her hometown, to an out-of-state college where she'll be able to reinvent herself as whoever she would be if her Catholic mom wasn't always breathing down her neck. But then Brendon commits suicide, leaving behind a cell phone with a series of messages meant for Len alone. To unlock the messages, and find whatever Brendon wanted her to find, Len must confront painful memories - and painful truths about herself. *DO NOT READ if you are triggered by suicide or suicidal ideation* (This is a very very very rough draft.)
