For me, it's really complicated to describe this story briefly. I could say it's about romantic revenge or poetic revenge, with some subplots. 

I can also affirm that the plot is similar to Harry Potter in the sense that it begins as a light-hearted adventure but grows darker and more intense with each chapter. 

There are parts where I try to narrate in the style of Dante in The Divine Comedy (or at least I hope so), and perhaps with touches reminiscent of Milton's masterpiece, Paradise Lost. Well, at least I tried - I just want to share my intentions and the style I aimed for. 

Even though my characters belong to the fantasy genre, I did my best to make them relatable - not just flawless fictional beings. I wrote about fallen heroes, false idols, villains with motives, unwanted love, and, as always, corrupt politicians. 

With regard to my battles, I've aimed to differentiate myself from other books by combining technique, vivid description, and my own poetic style. I want you to feel the suffering, the joy of victory, or the cruelty of defeat as if it were your own. 

As for terror, there's not much to explain - terror is terror. But I'm certain of one thing: eerie scenes are where I'm most at ease. 

There's not much to say-just an invitation to read, and I hope you find something worthwhile in the time you spend with it.

Proposal of Submission - Psychic the Saga by TheShdwStr9000
6 parts Complete Mature
Hello, I want to first thank you for taking the time to read my proposal, as I know that there are many others you must work through who have done the same as I; please, trust me when I say that your attention is greatly appreciated. I am messaging you today because I wish to submit a selection of excerpts taken from the series of science fiction/science fantasy stories I have written; called Psychic the Saga. I'm a former United States Marine, and a currently enrolled Aerospace Engineering undergrad at the University of Central Florida in Orlando. Over the course of the last eight years, during which the earlier stated experiences have occurred in my adult life, I have continually written the story I am now presenting for your consideration. Outside of writing as a hobby, and what was needed when submitting assignments, my only writing credential is a published engineering research paper in the European Physical Letters: 'Tailorable Twisting of Biomimetic Scale-Covered Substrate'; of which, my main contributions were that of the experimentation, and the editing/proofreading of the paper. In regards to my submission, the story of Psychic follows our trio and the rest of their friends as they fight for peace and stability within the newly unveiled realm of psychics, once hidden amongst the world for untold millennia. The statistics of Book One are as follows: word count = ~205279, page count = ~396, target audience = young/new adult (16~34 yr. of age). The reasoning behind this age range is two-fold: the concepts, morals and lessons, themes, and situations/ problems faced by the main characters are both relatable and beneficial for this age group; also yes, there is foul language, and yes there are very visceral depictions of violence. Also also (lol), I wish to give a disclaimer in terms of any romance, love, or anything else similar; I intentionally never take the story beyond anything more intimate than a kiss. So there. Sincerely, and with the utmost gratitude,
WHERE THE HUMANS HOWL by KhanNasrullah
1 part Complete Mature
You must be familiar with wolves' howls but I want to show you the world where humans howl. Pain is a fundamental part of the human experience, which means that it's a fundamental part of storytelling. It's the root of some of our best metaphors, our most elegant writing. Characters in fiction suffer, because their suffering mirrors our own. Some of this collection of short stories explore themes of catastrophe, death and despair, while others talk of love and longing, with them all being highly complimented by readers with emotive writing skills. In the short story 'Donkey-Man', we read about a man who lived all his life among animals and writer, as a child, is surprised to know that he was a human. In the story "In Search of God' we meet a character who is confused by different religious sect and defines God in his own simple way. The villagers, who claim the real follower of God, don't allow him to live in the village, but he is welcomed by God. In the story, "The Last Storyteller", the narrator is at odds with a changing world. Through his three windows, he is offered glimpses of beauty and joy, but, alas, reality intrudes. On the way to capturing his tale, the windows show him the grace of the blue bird who sings in his garden, the joy of the young boys playing cricket by the graveyard and lastly, the sadness of a mysterious figure, the Last Storyteller, whose livelihood is as endangered as that of the rare bird's. Although some of these stories do deal with rather gloomy thoughts of life, they are all written in such a way that the stories told are interesting to read and really do make you think. This collection of short stories is definitely an interesting read with some of the questions not always being fully answered. And with many of the stories covering such dark subjects you will truly find it a hard book to put down.
