Dark/Gaslamp Fantasy. Character-Driven, Atmospheric, Mythic Horror

Camilia has spent her life on the margins of the Sanctuary, a hidden stronghold carved into the heart of Harem's Hill and guarded by ancient rites older than the Empire itself. When the Inscriptum, living Writs of the Emperor's will, descend on her people, the Sanctuary falls in a single night, leaving Camilia trapped underground with a dying leader, a handful of survivors, and a voice in the darkness that has been watching her for years.

Sin (Wattys Winner) by ShaunAllan
118 parts Complete
On the flip of a coin, people die around Sin. Escaped from a lunatic asylum and haunted by his dead sister, he must find out why, and discover who is trying to use his power to destroy everything and everyone. ***** Dead, dead, dead. Say it enough times and it becomes just another word. What would you do? Could you kill a killer? Does the death of one appease the deaths of a hundred? What about that hundred against a thousand? What if you had no choice? Meet Sin. No, not that sort of sin, but Sin, crazy as a loon (you ask Sister Moon), and proud of it. Sin locks himself away in an asylum and, every so often, badboy he's believed to be, gets violent. That's only so they'll give him those nice drugs, though. The ones that help him forget. It's a pity they don't work. Sin, you see, has a serious problem. Well, it's not so much his problem, as ours - yours, mine and everyone else's. People die around Sin. He doesn't like it and there's nothing he can do about it. But someone else knows, and Sin has to stop them... and himself... Flip and catch... -- WATTY WINNER!!

Beyond The World

4 parts Ongoing Mature

Arthur Wayne, a 17 year old boy, lives in Liberium a country trapped behind massive war walls that circle the entire land like a prison. His people, the Palastians, are feared and hated by the outside world because of their blood, which is believed to be cursed. To the world beyond the walls, Palastians are not human... they are devils. For two thousand years, Liberium has been isolated, abandoned, and locked away from the rest of civilization. Food does not grow there, so the people depend on supplies dropped from the outside shipments the king must beg for on his knees to keep them alive. Inside Liberium, life is divided sharply: the rich live safely, the poor slowly rot, and 60% of the population are criminals exiled from other countries, forced to live among the Palastians. Arthur has lived his whole life watching suffering, inequality, hunger, and hopelessness. But after losing someone important... someone who believed in freedom , something in him broke awake. Now, Arthur swears to do the impossible... To climb the walls, defy the world, carry the pain of two thousand years, and free his people, no matter the cost.
