A novella of 27 episodes

In another ten days, Thredwyl's two hundred years of keeping company with his daredevil young cousins will stop. In another ten days, he must set aside his immature status and take his place amongst the adults. Thereafter, those adults will expect him to choose which of his magical talents to develop further for the benefit of all in Dolstone. Since none of this excites him, it's hardly surprising when his cousins set him one last dare that he accepts it. They dare him to sneak into Grandma's Attic - which is fully forbidden - and as proof he's been there, to pilfer her most ancient and treasured Mother's Manual.

When he miscasts the spell, he ends up in an entirely different attic, in what at first seems to be the mythic world he's heard of in stories. Thredwyl isn't a hero, and he doesn't want a hero's adventure. He just wants to return to his own world. Yet the longer he's there, the less likely it seems that'll ever happen. Perhaps his fate is to be stranded there. Forever. Or killed. Fit punishment for stealing one of Grandma's Spells.

Another Stupid Spell by billricardi
20 parts Complete
Another Stupid Spell is a first person high fantasy novel, the likes of which hasn't been seen in 60 years. The tone and vocabulary of the story shifts as our narrator, Sorch the orc, finds ways to enhance his intelligence. You get to grow as Sorch grows, learn as he learns, and share his most intimate thoughts. Sorch is an orc mage in a world where orcs are cursed with stupidity every time they cast a spell. The only spell he can safely cast is Enhance Intelligence, which boosts his IQ for a fraction of a second before the curse drains it all away again. Normally casting such a spell would be pointless, but Sorch's tribe has found a way to benefit. Magic that is cast near a mysterious artefact called the 'Voodoo Engine' causes invisible hands to appear, and these hands get work done for his tribe. Sorch is a slave to the Voodoo Engine, casting a single spell over and over again to avoid being beaten by the chief's warrior caste. While foraging for food on one fateful night, our hero happens upon two human mages who are in big trouble. He saves their lives, and in return they give him an amulet that will make his life easier. Unbeknownst to the humans, their gift grants Sorch the power to break the cycle of intelligence drain and physical abuse. With the help of his friend and mentor, Shaman, Sorch becomes a real mage. Sorch leaves his swamp and embarks on a series of incredibly exciting and dangerous adventures. During his travels he encounters horrible injury, magical treasures, love, snow, university admissions tests, a plot against the Kingdom, and then of course he saves the world. Or does he? Be prepared to rethink everything you know about thinking. If your own intelligence was the fuel that your magic ran on, how brightly would you dare to burn?

{ NEW VERSION AVAILABLE! PLEASE GO TO "Dimension Walker, Reality Weaver: The Midnight Thief" TO READ THE REWRITE! } Thea Rousseau-Capello is always in the wrong place at the wrong time. Ever since she was young, she's spent most of her time on the run, moving from one town to the next, never once sticking around for too long once something weird happens. Her life was complicated but predictable, until a simple field trip goes south and turns Thea's world upside down. It turns out that reality isn't what it appears to be, that her dad's bedtime stories were more than just make-believe. The gods and monsters from all of the world's myths and legends are real, and they're aiming to ruin what little normalcy Thea had left. To makes matters even worse, the Midnight Whip belonging to the primordial goddess Nyx was stolen, and everyone thinks Thea knows where it's at. Now, to prove her innocence, Thea and her friends must embark on a dangerous quest to find and return the Whip by the summer solstice before all hell breaks loose in the Nine Realms. Though, catching a thief isn't the only thing Thea has to worry about. Not only will she uncover the secrets her dad has been keeping from her since birth, but Thea also must come face-to-face with the truth about who her supposedly dead papa actually is. ~Book One of "The Dimension Walker" Series~ *For readers 13 and up due to strong language (i.e. swearing) and slightly dark/mature elements.

Who will Arise? by MashBap
9 parts Complete
Waking up face down in mud sucks any day of the week. But coming around in the sludge of a strange realm...? Well, that just redefines a bad day altogether. Trapped in an unfamiliar world, sixteen-year-old Quinn is frustrated that none of the strange Tree People appreciate his urgency to get back home to earth. Now he is faced with a choice that could change the course of his life: escape and find his own way home, or stay and help them find the cause of the poison ravishing their world. When the mind-reader unlocks one of the ancient mysteries of the Tree People it points to the only way of saving them from annihilation: they have to find the Power of Light. What exactly that means, the mind-reader doesn't reveal, but his next warning comes as a shock to all present: finding the mysterious Power of Light can only be done with the help of the dangerous enemy tribe whom they once called family. Quinn soon finds himself a little more entangled in the lives of these gifted beings than he'd care to be. Especially after meeting Jazz: the feisty girl from his world who seems to be a regular visitor to the world of Zoay. To Quinn's constant frustration, the aqua-eyed pixie makes it clear that she's not there to make friends. On their journey they'll brave bizarre encounters in dangerous alien forests, while sacrificing pride and will for the survival of all. Along the way Quinn finds more than he ever thought to seek: purpose, fulfillment and love. When the Power of Light is finally found a devastating discovery is made: if all of Zoay-including their enemy-want to live and prosper, one must be willing to sacrifice their life.
