Fiction Vortex, let's see...
A fiction vortex is a tornado of stories that pick you up and hurl you through a barn to find enlightenment on the other side. It's a whirlpool of fascinating tales so compelling that they suck you in, drag you down to the bottom of your mind and drown you with incessant waves of glorious imagery and believable characters.
Nope. Not that either. But we're getting closer.
A fiction vortex is an online speculative fiction magazine focused on publishing great science fiction and fantasy, and is run by incredibly attractive and intelligent people with great taste in literature and formidable writing prowess.
Close enough.
Founded in the 277th year of the Takolatchni Dynasty, Fiction Vortex set out to encourage people to write and publish great speculative fiction. It sprang fully formed from the elbow of TWOS, retaining none of TWOS's form but most of its spirit. And the patron god of writers, the insecure, the depressed, and the mentally ill regarded Fiction Vortex in his magic mirror of self-loathing and declared it good, insofar as something that gives writer's undue hope can be declared good. Thereafter, he charged the Rear Admiral of the Galactic 5th Fleet to defend Fiction Vortex down to the last robot warrior.
Now we're talking.
Take your pick. We don't care how you characterize us or the site. We just want to hear your best stories.

Remember for the Both of Us [COMPLETED]
Remember for the Both of Us--a Maze Runner / Newt fanfiction If you're reading this, you know the story of the Maze Trials. Or really, what WICKED fed you. It's all propaganda. Well, most of it. My name... well, you can call me Hope, and I'm here to tell you the real story of Group A. The thing is, WICKED's whole plan relied on Thomas to have the ingenuity to figure his way out. What if he didn't? What if he didn't have that fateful encounter with Minho and the Grievers at the edge of the Cliff? WICKED's plan failed. Utterly. What were they supposed to do? Well, they had backup options, yes, but at the last moment they second-guessed them all. They came down to me. The very last of their last fail-safes. It was too risky to send in someone else who would forget, they said. So they put me in their Box, told me to do this and that, to guide them to a solution. I am Subject C1. The Catalyst. Or the Actress. Whatever you prefer. I'd rather you call me that than Hope. They sent me in to save Group A. But WICKED's fatal flaw is that they always assume that their human "subjects" will do exactly what they want. There was no way I was going to do what they told me to do, not if I could avoid it. Why would I? This is the organization that stole everything from me. My life, my home, my family-- The closest thing I had to a friend. So it was asking a lot to send me into their precious Maze Trials. Especially because they had promised before never to do so. WICKED's done a lot of awful things. But the cruelest thing they did? It was to let me remember. || *Disclaimer: I own none of the settings / characters except for Hope* WARNING: HAS NOT BEEN EDITED! READ AT OWN RISK! (I'll do heavy, heavy editing after it's done, I promise ^_^) I hope you enjoy it!Complete
The Nost
Jack and Ann have taken me on a great adventure full of mystery and incredible technology, I hope you'll join us. I know you have a lot of reading choices, but if you have space left in your literary adventure cup, please join Jack and Ann as 2021 turns into 2022, happy reading! __ The demon whispers inside Jack's mind. "They are not worthy, they are cattle, these new humans you covet. The so-called creator has betrayed you, replaced you with these organic imitations. Slaughter them all." It's funny, not in a ha-ha funny way, but a sad, my madness doesn't make sense type of way, Jack thinks, because wasn't he human? Worse still, the voice comes with impulses that are hard to resist. Violence usually ensues. That's why he joined the military. A way to channel his urges into mind-numbing physical effort and war. It works for a time. But alcohol and fighting can only carry on for so long. Finally, he realizes, his only way out is suicide. But when he opens his eyes, he's in the In-Between. The creator has other plans for him, and she won't take no for an answer. Apparently, this isn't his first life and if he doesn't free her from her prison, it won't be his last. His curse is to be reborn without end, without rest, without memory. Only madness. Now Jack is on the run from forces he doesn't understand. It's a new world. The mundane replaced by ethereal artificial intelligence, spontaneous virtual realities, and homicidal bible salesmen. But the creator promises the demon's voice will disappear as soon as he finds the right girl, the right bond. After that, they just have to escape the clutches of those who hunt them, find the Isle of Song, and free the creator from her prison. Or maybe this time, in this life, Jack will figure out what true freedom is. Come along on this action-packed thriller as Jack fights to remember who he is, tries to end an eternal war, and atone for sins he doesn't remember...yet.Complete
