In the Edwardian Coalition, all is well. The mass turmoil from the ancient takeovers is now considered ancient history, occurring roughly thousands of years ago. In this now-unified galaxy, multiple variants of the human race live in harmony with the scarce other independently evolved sentient races. The freed Hydrean race is in the midst of integrating itself into normal society. In this advanced world, a broken man lives. His name is George Stone, and he works for the totalitarian ruling entity Edward, a sentient and godlike computer being. The taciturn man lives out his life peacefully, captaining one of the many cityships prowling the galactic edge, keeping the rim populace well aware of Edwardian rule. One of the many people living and breathing within the massive ship is Aeren Vestraadi, a who's fate is intertwined with Stone's. Together, they shall travel to the one place in the galaxy where no one has attempted to enter: the Empire of Lights. Their intention is to destroy it, by diplomacy or force. But things shall not go as planned.

A sci-fi space opera with a hint of romance; entire fictional universe/paracosm made by me. The story is a work in progress, expect updates every so often with a couple pages each. Please note that the cover is a work in progress, and that I do not own it. Cover is concept art for the album Orakel by Savant, which is pretty fantastic. I intend no copyright infringement by using it, it just suited the story. 

A manga is in the works for this story. It is currently in the very early stages, but hopefully itll do well and we can release it to you guys. a link will be put up when it begins production.All Rights Reserved

The Betrayer and the Betrayed by JoeNChaste

In the not-so-distant future evolved humans emerged. Those who had powers that broke conventional laws of physics, chemistry, and biology were dubbed E.H.s (evolved humans); it was wondrous for a time. Of course if there was power to be used there would be those who misuse. To that end the evolved humans police department was formed to deal with all crime committed by or connected to E.H.s, a force entirely comprised of E.H.s trained to stop and capture any E.H. breaking the law. Adlet Blacksteel is the newest edition to the E.H.P.D., his skills and experience as a hostage extractor makes him an invaluable edition. Joined by his new partner, Jenna Jones, he pursues a secretive manhunt for the Soldiers Of The New World, an underground E.H. crime organization that has a hand in all that is illegal, and their mysterious leader: String, who, seemingly, has eyes and ears everywhere. While Adlet and Jenna intend on doing this by the books, their unsavory past with two of String's captains may muddy their judgement, or, more accurately, it already has. As String's ambitions grow beyond just controlling the city's underbelly Adlet and Jenna are forced to take action with an ally he did not desire. While prejudice against E.H.s reaches it's peak because of a horrific tragedy, the Soldiers of the New World waste no time to expand their reach and rally for their cause of taking over the city. Adlet goes to the edge of sacrificing everything and back again. On the way, betrayal awaits at every corner. Note: If you're an artist interested in working with me my email is: yousefabdelhaleem2@yahoo.com I'm willing to pay for a proper cover. I'm also interested in creating a comic out of this work or my next work but that would be a partnership model since I don't have that kind of money.

spears of Uu'kata (CLEAN(ish) Version) by Bergquist8

I decided to make this clean version of Spears of Uu'k'ata for those who like sci-fi, some romance, and adventure, without the smut. The characters still get into sexual situations and it is strongly implied that characters do have sex, but the content isn't explicit. The language, though, is still harsh. No way was I going to try to undertake editing out all the F-bombs because I am not a crazy person ************************************************************************************************* Charlotte is a mech pilot fighting a seemingly endless war against the Uu'k'asht over planetary dominance throughout the galaxy. She's always been sure of her abilities and her unit, until the day the enemy takes her mech down. Now, a prisoner of the Uu'k'asht, her future is unknown and she doesn't know what the next day will bring. She thought they would kill her, publicly execute her, torture her. But the Uu'k'asht seem to have other plans. Ahnekk is just as surprised as anyone when one of the huge metal mech's his battalion is fighting spits out a diminutive, slime-covered creature, that then proceeds to continue killing on the battlefield despite being seemingly helpless. No one has ever actually seen a human before. Only their killing machines. But he does know one thing: This prisoner will turn the tides of war. What he doesn't know is how much she will change his life. *A new chapter posted every Sunday*

NHD by TheHackz

I have sat often in front of the computer, and stared long at the screen without ever writing a word. The synopsis for this project has haunted me since the first person asked me "So, what is it about?", and to this day I have never been able to deliver a straight answer. This book is about a number of things, many of which do not fit evenly into a succinct description. I have tried to make them fit and have found the resulting descriptions ill-representing and dull. Thus, I have decided to go without a description. This book will fade into obscurity no matter what I put here, so I might as well write what's really important. Winter in a city is an especially punishing time. This book comes out of my late nights and early mornings riding the train, and my looking at the window and being able to make out nothing but the blur of the glass. From the outside it may look dead, but certain people know that the inner workings of a city are a true marvel to behold. In writing this, I have tried to capture that marvel and deliver it to you, the reader. This is a book about a city and the people within it. The rest is up for you to read, if you so choose. Pyre lives on whether you experience it or not. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A science-fiction novel, updated whenever there is new material to post. The last cover was AI generated, so I spent some time making a crude cover of my own. For the sake of Wattpad I have divided up the chapters into parts, so everything under "The Glow" is Chapter 1 and so on. If you have read this far into the description, I thank you; you've made it further than mostly everyone before you. I hope you stick around. ⠀⠀

Bestial Planet by AT3chnicality

I'm an artist with words, not book covers... Android Captain Lancieta Steegle, and an engineer from Earth named Mannie end up relying on each other for more than survival when a war is thrust onto the people of Earth. In a desperate attempt to deal some kind of blow to the Halgred, the Andromedian collective okayed a Shadow Operation to attack the Halgred Homeworld. The weapon was illegal, a bio-weapon designed to sterilize and weaken their almost otherworldly physiology. When this weapon is instead redirected to Earth by the Halgred King, Draconisis, those whom survive undergo a change. As they wake up, the people of Earth are greeted by horror of their new animalistic physiology, and for some, unimaginable abilities. The 20 or so surviving Androids of the once thousands-strong crew of the Dreadnought-Class battleship do their best to make amends and help the humans of Earth adjust to their new Bestial Planet and the even more dangerous intergalactic community. This story is "Complete" as in the last chapter was written and it's gone through about 3 re-writes and 4 rounds of editing since. Very few stories are ever finished, as we know, because there's always something we think can be or should be changed. However, I've learned that the best I can do is get it to the point where I feel comfortable with someone else reading it. Otherwise I'd never have posted anything anywhere.

Saga of Mi'cio- Four Short Adventures by LadyRosabella

**This a rough story i did many years ago. It's rough but can be a good read if you use your imagination a bit....** This includes four short stories 1. The Big Heist (Story Of Mi'co) 2. Madness of Mi'cio 3.Enemy of Mi'cio 4.Ghost of Mi'cio Here is a scene from part two Madness of Mi'cio: She couldn’t see her mom but she followed her voice, she walked toward it. “Mother, what is going on?” she whispered. “Nobody knows.” A voice on the right answered. “Something really weird is going on here, Rose. There is something wrong with Webb and his gang of justice dealers.” Her father warned. “Beware of them.” “Is there anyway I can get you guys out of here?” she whispered. “No. Webb has the only security card that has access to all the prison doors.” One of Webb’s jailed officers informed her. “Is there anything else I should know?” she whispered. There was silence as each of the prisoners considered. “There is a spare blaster in my room,” her father whispered, “keep it with you always, and don’t hesitate to use it, Rose.” This is a first attempt at writing, check out some of my other stuff ( better writing, I promise) and let me know what you think! Thanks!! :)

Incident at Saris by Charmsp1

** Story is now complete** (Quote) In everyone's life, there is a time to break away, to start your own journey, to become your own person, and it is time to take ours! Ren. When naive alien brothers, Rik and Ren decide to leave their comfortable safe life and set out on their own as Freelancers they find that their first adventure takes them into a situation they aren't quite used too and find that they have to learn to adapt quickly and that the world isn't as safe as they thought it was! or that it would be as easy as they thought it would be and have to learn to rely on themselves and the crew of their small ship and basically come of age. The story I admit is strongly inspired by both Star Wars and Firefly but it is not taken in either of those universes although it could easily fit in both of them. And thanks to CANVA for providing the cover. Rik and Ren are original characters, the art inside the book is my own. And I thank anyone who reads, comments, and even votes on this! Also please note I am Australian so this contains Australian spellings.

Where Stars Go to Die by RobbertVanBruggen

*Attention:* for those still reading this book, it's fairly bad, it's hastily written and I'm not particularly proud of it, not as much as I used to be. I'm leaving this one up as a case study for how I used to write and to look at the mistakes I used to make. Future stories will hopefully be much better and for those still reading, I thank you dearly. Stay tuned for more. It's the year 3081, traveling space has become a regular occurrence. From space buses to cargo freighters, fighters to armada cruisers... Naturally, humanity took war into space too, planetary wars here and there. And in the middle of this mess of normal life and brutal war? That's where we find Joe, a sad sap, running his business all by himself. After his crew and love abandon him for someone better, Joe finds himself in the biggest shit storm he ever encountered.

The Titan of Beltar by ThomasFenneyMather

When humanity's last colony ship reached Al-Vedroon, they thought they'd found a new home. The locals weren't so keen. Fast-forward a thousand years, and against the backdrop of a decaying technomagic dystopia, a lowly Sorceress becomes embroiled in an epic plot that will shake the foundations of society and put all the world at risk. She believes her destiny is to be the Saviour. Others have a different idea. *** This is a complete novel of 23 chapters, and I'd love to hear your comments and feedback so I can make it even better. I will endeavour to post one chapter every friday as I finish my second edit. Also if you like it please vote and share with your friends! Thanks very much, Fen :#)

A Starship Called Starsong by CrystalScherer

Computer updates are simple, right? Apparently, that's not always the case when it involves a Spaceship's AI in the middle of deep space. We have always relied upon technology to travel through space, but sometimes that very same technology has a mind of its own... (This story has a happy ending) -------- Sneak Peek: A flashing orange light in the top corner of my handheld device prompted me to check the system status page. My jaw dropped. All sorts of systems were going offline. Water, sewage, air, heating, cooling, weapons, and many more. What was going on? The Overseer was more decisive than I was. "Go help get the air systems back online. We can eat dry rations for two weeks, but we can't hold our breath for that long." I took off running once more. I hadn't gone far when I almost ran right into Logan. I asked, "What going on?" He grabbed my shoulders urgently. "The main computer's AI is taking over the entire ship. I need to get to a backup mainframe to try and reverse the upgrade, but I can't find the room! The AI messed up the electronic maps, and I have never been to this one before! Where is the Delta access room?!" My mind tried to wrap itself around the details as I gave directions, "...then turn left and it's by the plumbing room on that level." "Thanks!" He took off running. ------- Please note there is no romance in this story. :) A huge thank you to @JimenaVivancoo for making the cover! Copyright April 2018. All Rights Reserved. Readers may not copy, alter, or steal this story. Fanfictions are allowed to use my *world* and *AI set-up* as long as credit is given.

Marching Fleet by MauryWGarcia

This is a show script inspired heavily by many different classic franchises like Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlestar: Galactica and Halo. The story is a military sci-fi action show with a bit of drama in between and some fantasy elements later on and also sprinkled with comedy now and again. The show is also heavily peppered with music terminology and music references like the names of certain ships and aspects of war and the names of factions specially. I made this show as an allegory for my experience in band and all characters are based on real people and the relationships between them. If you are interested in the show script and want to provide helpful criticism and/or ask questions about the show, you can contact me on the Marching Fleet Instagram page linked below. A story about war in the universe. I joined the band at my high school as a brass player, specifically tuba, and became obsessed with all things music, it was always present in all things I did. One day I made a drawing of a ship and called it the "SS Vanguard Brass" and sent it to my friends in brass. One responded by saying "hey, that should be a fan fiction or something"(Duclos), so I sat down and thought about it and decided that if I was going to do it, even though I adore movies, it would have to be a show. So I spent a few hours of my day that I had to spare and wrote a pilot that I then shared with my friends. They adored the script and said they would support me with creative help(meaning they would judge would I write). A few months later it is now being read by many people I know, including the director of my high school band. For Doc version: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1llu5LPXMZ0zrVBpUwjLMO1w73AkGZwKrRAs8FdCAf0s/edit?usp=sharing If interested on news for the show, follow the Marching Fleet Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marching_fleet/
