The First OTHER World War (NWY2)
On one New Year's Eve, the moment the International Date Line welcomed the new year first, the change occurred. Communications between nations were severed, climates shifted, and unknown lands emerged.

Blessings to the Voyages of Another World
In a world where the conflict between Azur Lane and the Red Axis was overcome, and the Sirens were repelled- The Samoa Base from that world was suddenly summoned to a war-torn other world!? Amidst the chaos caused by clashes of values and common sense, this is the story of a young Commander and the KAN-SEN (some of whom are... troublesome) as they charge through the stormy seas of another world. And so, it begins! NOTICE This is my first post. This story is a crossover between Summoning Japan and Azur Lane, with characters and weapons from various other works mixed in. It also includes original lore, theories, and some convenient plot devices. Note that the summoning to another world happens two years earlier than in the OG Summoning Japan. The author's knowledge is "broad but shallow" (self-proclaimed), so there may be many mistakes, contradictions, typos, or awkward phrasing regarding politics, military affairs, etc. If you notice any, pointing them out in the comments would be greatly appreciated. I'll do my best to make corrections where possible. Also, this work is written on a sudden burst of inspiration, so updates will be very irregular. Please bear with me.

Pink Streak
This was written as part of a self-imposed, write by the seat of my pants 61 day challenge that started October 1st and ended on November 30th of 2015. The objective was to finish the story in time for December 1st of 2015 and post one page of it everyday in whatever form it was in once the time arrived with as much editing that could possibly be done under such tight time constraints. Please keep this in mind as you go through the story. It also doubled as a concept testing ground. ----- Seven people from varying backgrounds find themselves in the midst of a war none of them wanted to be involved with. A hoard of Amazons is tearing the world inside out, in hopes of purging the male gender and any woman who stands to support or hide them in their wake. In an alternate Earth where creatures of varying types roam and magic is a source of power, these seven make their way to face the enemy head on and attempt to end this war of the sexes started by the Phoenix Queen, Nebu Umbrage. The race is on to stop the carnage before it gets too far...or try to at least soften the blow.Complete

World Witches: Arctic Circle
May 9th, 2042; The day after the end of World War Three and the surrender of Germania, which was analogously named the 5th Reich, as officially designated by the Organization of Nations. On this day, crowds filled the streets of every major city worldwide, celebrating the elimination of the greatest threat to the existence of the human race. However, while parties and crowds gathered in two of the three major cities in New Canteria, namely Okha and Vladivostok, the third major city, Arnket, was undergoing decontamination due to the radiation caused by a German nuclear strike in early May as it had resulted in a large crater and an engineered radioactive toxic rain cloud. Aside from that though it seemed as if all would go swimmingly for humanity. Until an alien race named the Neuroi appeared. The date is June 9th, 2042. A full month after the surrender of Germania and a week after the Mecklenburg-Vorpommen massacre. As New Canteria was receiving flak from the Organization of Nations, a sudden disturbance was detected by a Canadian satellite as a mysterious black cloud arose from the North Pole. However the Canadian government paid no mind to it. The last mistake they would make as it was them. They struck down on humanity like a thunderbolt in their most vulnerable moments as the North Canadian forces in the area were almost destroyed from the Neuroi attack, driving thousands and eventually millions from their homes in a attempt to escape the Neuroi. However the human race wouldn't go down without a fight. Mobilizing troops freed up from the end of WW3, the ON and a new organization named NORDEN (NHDA) made a successful resistance against the Neuroi and drove them back to the North Pole. However what they found next would have news of it reverberate across the world. A wormhole to a universe still fighting the Neuroi.
