U.S.S.A Alice by Umbralmen01

In the distant future of the 28th century, mankind had survived near extinction then made it into the wider galaxy. With almost no other sapient life in the Milky Way to stop humanity's expansion. Space was ripe for the picking. Now mankind and the enigmatic Voidrians formed the U.S.S.A. The (United Solar Systems Alliance). Before Mankind became the dominant force in the Milky Way, Earth was in shambles. Natural resources were nearly depleted, diseases were rampant and most of Earth's population was in poverty. Then by some miracle of discovery or a cruel cosmic joke, in the mid-23rd century when all humanity could do was go out into space to search for a new home, a small planet that was black as the void around it was discovered. The humans who landed on the little planet had nearly lost all hope until they stumbled upon unknown ancient ruins beneath the planet's surface where they discovered untold amounts of bizarre advanced technology. Earth and humanity were saved, and the little planet to thank for their salvation was named Umbra. Alice is a xenoarchaeologist, her passion in life has always been the study of ancient cultures, and now she has the opportunity to study the most ancient one of them all. The very one that modern Human civilization was built on. Alice and her boyfriend accepted a posting on the famous and ancient ship, the U.S.S.A Umbra.

Before the Ever Green (BTEG #1) ✔️ by elaynalynn

Addilyn Ember is my name. I live in a small town, with my Mom who is hated by all, and I think I am dying, because I get sick once a month, and can't make it stop. I love books, and I am pretty good at tricking my mom, being as I do it each week. I'm not sure if I can describe what life is like compared to what it was like in the 21st century, because I live on a $20 salary and a History book costs $500. I'd say I have a horrible life, even though $20 a month is one of the greater amounts of money people make these days. I guess life is okay, though I have to deal with Sara Jane and John Smith throwing there best shots in my direction to make me crack. Maybe my life will change someday. Maybe the change will be tall with light brown hair so light I think it might be considered blonde, and a pair of ocean eyes. Or maybe the change will be a pair of crazy goofy twins. Or the red head with hazel eyes. Maybe the change will be me. Only thee future will tell. But for know, my life sucks. "Even the worst things need to be remembered. If you don't remember them, you'll think the world is black and white." -Addilyn Ember

30 Days to Save the World by writersconnx

Thirty days. The countdown has started, North America shivers under the shadow of a massive alien spacecraft, and humanity is hurtling toward an unknown future that lurks at the end of the timer. Somewhere, somehow, the heroes are making their plans to fight the extraterrestrials. But this isn't about them. From the team at WritersConnX comes a new anthology about the rest of us - the average, the ordinary, the unassuming - and the many paths we run when our time is cut short. And no damn aliens!

The Episode That Time Forgot by whatamichoppedliver

**THIS STORY IS BEING REWRITTEN IN A SEPARATE BOOK** Ember Maxwell is a 14 year old Whovian that is bullied by the kids at school, and beaten by her parent at home. One day when Ember was at a yard sale, her neighbor gave her an lost episode of Doctor Who that she never saw before. When she put the DVD in the DVD player she was sucked into The 'Doctor Who' world! Will she ever go back to her world, Or will she be stuck in the Doctors world forever?!? • • • The writing at the beginning of the book will suck, but as the book goes on, it will get kinda better. I wrote this book when I turned 14 and let me tell you, comparing my writing now to back then, its 50% better (Idfk tbh). So please enjoy this adventure of Ember and the Doctor, as they travel in the blue police box. • • • (NOT COMPLETED)

With only a cryptic note telling him his eight rules, he sets out to discover just exactly who he is and what he did to become the number one villain. When his first lead takes him straight into the heroes' hands, Denizen struggles to keep his villain alias secret and play the confused and innocent citizen, all the while digging deeper for answers. But as he gets closer to the truth-and the heroes get hotter on his tail--two questions become painfully loud: Is he good? And should he let the heroes catch him?

"𝙄 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙙 𝙖 𝙙𝙖𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙚𝙧. 𝙄'𝙢 𝙩𝙤𝙤... 𝙤𝙡𝙙... 𝙣𝙤𝙬..." -𝐅𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐬 ||| Stupid kids hate each other and then fall in love. Sure you've read it in every single damn 'fic on this platform. But then one of them disappears, and the other moves on. But she doesn't. She's beaten, and her child is ripped from her own fingers. Five reappears after nearly 17 years, his charming personality gone, and he demands that the family helps him with his little apocalypse problem. And they ultimately fail. You know how the story goes. They end up in 1963, scattered across Dallas, and bring the apocalypse with them. Five and Y/N start getting comfortable. By the time they're back in 2019, they're fucked up, and craving nothing but peace. The apocalypse says no. But something's different this time. Something is whispering horrors into "Little Number Eight's" dreams. Whatever you do, don't save the world. ||| "𝘿𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙙 𝙞𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪? 17 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙥𝙖𝙞𝙣, 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨. 𝙄 𝙝𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪!
