Chet Eubanks is Employee of the Year!

Episode One

Four years ago, Earth became the latest member of a vast, galactic alliance. Governments and corporations are struggling to understand how to interface with alien worlds, but for the people of Earth, not much has changed. The novelty of First Contact has worn off. Almost no one has seen an alien or a spaceship. Theories abound that the whole thing was just a ruse by news networks to drum up ratings.

But Chet Eubanks believes in First Contact. From the moment he saw the footage of alien emissaries addressing a joint session of congress, he knew that he needed to figure out a way to get into space. He got his first job at his local fast food joint and started saving money for a starship. Spoiler: this doesn't happen, but something else does.

This is the first episode of a serialized space opera that follows Chet Eubanks from small town South Dakota into worlds never before explored by humankind. The story is a celebration of classic science fiction, Americana, and average, everyday people.All Rights Reserved

The War In His Mind by AndrewPurdum

After war devastated the United States, a survivor buried himself deep underground in a cryostasis chamber connected to a digital world- Wonder City. Dedicated to creating a perfect society, Thomas O'Neil transported his consciousness to the city and dedicated his life to creating a better world. But there's a major catch- everyone in the world is an exact clone of him without any emotions, passions, or original thoughts. Everyone is created through "The Code", a computer code designed to create people and assign jobs. For years it's worked flawlessly, filling Wonder City full of workers and civilians. The society was successful. Until one day when a glitch in the code created the first clone with emotions and thoughts- #937. Angry and determined to have free will, 937 sets out on a path to create a better world from the ashes of the old empire. What happens when the city of the future becomes a world that O'Neil can't contain? Welcome to Wonder City. Welcome to the future. **** Please keep in mind that this is a first draft. Many details, paragraphs, and chapters will inevitably change between this and the final version. There's still lots to be smoothed out. Thank you for understanding! I'm very open to suggestions! -Andrew Purdum

The Final Test by jayseejewel

Earth was overtaken by the Calumnia ten years ago and if it weren't for the alien Occisio race who saved the remnants of humanity, Indi's race would have gone extinct. Now, at the age of sixteen, Indi and the other surviving children are about to complete their training and return to Earth to kill the monster that destroyed their world and killed their parents. However, the children on the Occisio's spaceship have been dismissed one by one in training tests and only a few of them remain. Will Indi prove himself skilled enough to become a soldier? Or will he fail humanity as his parents did? This short story (in 13 parts) is a love letter to fans of Ender's Game and Maze Runner. (I may eventually turn this into a novel but for now, I hope you enjoy this 10,000 word story about hope and overcoming one's weakness.) [This story will appear on other websites as well, such as Royal Road.] #43 IN POST-APOCALYPTIC

Waiting Shapeless by KennyFyor

*Completed* Ranked #1 in alienplanet in Jan 20 2020 Please, LISTEN TO ME!! I know you think I'm crazy and I know they told you I'm dangerous, but you have to just listen!! My people are dying! They are being killed, ruthlessly slaughtered by the millions!! I know exactly who is doing it too-but it doesn't make any sense. I don't understand why they are doing it. Please help me, help us!! To whoever gets this message, I can't do anything from here-please! I am begging you!! Please-just get me off this damn planet!! [END TRANSMISSION] ------------------- Earth is not alone in harboring life. The galaxies and universes have been opened, and all the intelligent beings residing in them have been connected and unified with each other. It has been over a million years since the Pentaverse, a cluster of five neighboring universes, was organized and unified. Now, hundreds of otherworldly species live in relative harmony with the one another. The unification was good for many species, but for some species, the change caused unexpected extinction. As a team of the Conservation of Species Committee investigates a mysterious decrease in the population of a robotic species, they stumble upon something that could potentially result in the destruction of the entire Pentaverse. This is not your average Wattpad story about how the 'bad boy meets the good girl'. This book is about a series of mysteries that begin to unfold as you read and travel through space with a group of unsuspecting aliens. This story will make you laugh, it will shock you, surprise you, and it will leave you hungry for more-all the way to the last word. Be aware, there are some adult themes in this book including drinking, swearing, love making, death, and murder. None of those topics are explored too deeply however, so I do not think it is appropriate to give this book a 'mature' rating. *********** @2020wattyawards

The Core: The First Guest by Perditaveritas

❖2021 Watty Awards Shortlist❖ Kevin was just a normal 10 year old kid until he saw a woman vanish right before his eyes. This made Kevin just a little bit different. He paid more attention to people now. Little did he know that this little difference would kill him the next time he encountered another alien about to return home. It would tear him apart, cell by cell, until he was unmade. His mind being transported away. --- So distantly far away there is a race that advanced to the point where they built dyson spheres to house their civilizations. In their continual expansion, they seeded galaxies with pods and connection satellites. Over time they upgraded their dyson spheres into matryoshka brain Cores. Imagine a computer powered by a star. Citizens of Cores no longer age once they upload their minds into the virtual living system of the Core. While they didn't age, most still choose to cycle through life and death though at a different scale of time compared to our lives. Citizens can visit other planets and live there as if they were on a "vacation". Mercury is Earth's hub connected to the closest Core and Earth is a remote vacation spot for wealthy citizens. When the main character was 10 he witnessed a citizen returning to the Core. The story continues 10 odd years later when he again witnesses a similar situation unfolding and manages to touch the person returning to the Core. This causes him to be swept up in the transfer as well and for his mind to join as a "Guest" user of the Core. As a Guest he has limited powers, a starting balance of zero cr or Citizen credits, and no idea how he can get home. He is the first human to ever become a Guest of a Core. Where money itself is the highest form of their science.

But, many new challenges and obstacles await them, as Nolun and Andress face a planet unlike anything that they've ever seen before, and the twins and Dante are forced to confront demons from their past.
