Cowboy Killer
New Lucia, Texas; 1967. Humanity never made it out of its wild era with cowboys and bandits, crippled by the greed of oil barons and power hungry industry tycoons with wild dreams of perfecting humanity through innovation and augmentation, building massive walkers the size of small towns powered by steam and weapons vaguely resembling the infamous six shooter and lever action humanity had become all too familiar with. Gangs of outlaws and legends do whatever they can to gain power and wealth, including robbing innocent passerby of whatever they can scrounge up, sometimes including their very lives. New Lucia was one of many hubs bustling with life and, unfortunately, the aforementioned gangs prying for power. Crime ran rampant in New Lucia despite the steam driven police machines, leading to a host of unsolved murders. When Jade Santana, an aspiring engineer, is forced to take matters into her own hands after the death of her father at the hands of a gang is left unsolved, she turns to the one definitive answer in this world: Revenge.Complete
Conduits
Long ago, on a normal Thursday, the world went dark. Power grids went down. Electricity shut off. The internet fizzled into nothing. Planes dropped from the sky. People died. One hundred years later the surviving humans live amongst the junk left over from Black Out Thursday. Cars are rusting. Cities lay abandoned. Cell phones, computers, and other machines are worthless to most, except to a few… Clara Danvers is a conduit, a person with the ability to Wake the junk from humanity's past by infusing the sleeping machines with Nites. Fearing the people who do not understand her abilities, Clara and other conduits live their lives in hiding. Most conduits tend to brave the crumbling metropolitan ruins of old, scraping to gather a living for eccentrics who will pay well for antiques from the world's past. They scavenge junk, repair junk, sell junk, and Wake junk in the back allies and dark basements of the lightless communities of tomorrow. Until the day one a conduit goes missing… From a young age conduits are taught to fear those people who don't understand them, to keep vigil, or the road pirates called the Junkers will get them in the night! Braver than most, these bedtime cautionary tales never scared Clara, until the day a friend's family is murdered and that friend's conduit brother disappears. Now Clara must find the people that took her friend's brother. She must do this quickly, because the Junkers are coming for her next… "Conduits" is updated every Tuesday. Check back for new chapters! Thanks for reading! The "Conduits" cover art was created by wonderfully talented Eleanor Ferron. Check out her portfolio by visiting her website at http://eferron.daportfolio.com/.Complete
Lord Anthony Silverson: A Story of Oasis
Before the first airship rose into the air, before the city of Oasis became the majestic and wealthy capital of Arctica, before Oasis even existed as a rough-hewn mining town in the remote northern reaches of an already wild frontier colony, Oasis existed in the mind of its founder as an impossible dream: A town where anyone may live in peace, free from discrimination. In the year 1837, in the aftermath of a Civil War that was far longer and far more devastating than the one known in the America of our world, this dream seemed all but impossible. Perhaps it was impossible, but this would not deter Lord Anthony. He was now proven to be a bastard son, and while his family still loved him, he was ineligible to marry into it and continue the Silverson legacy. Thus does he endeavor to found a new legacy, one so monumental that it would be worthy of a new family name. For this purpose, he travels into the wild northern frontier of Arctica where coal, gold, and diamonds may be found. This natural wealth, however, is trivial compared to what he hopes to find there. Who he hopes to find there. Something he has been missing for his entire life...Complete

The Abandoned Island
A young girl heads to Britain to learn about steam engines there, but little did she know she would be pointed to an adventure. Inspired by The Island Swansong by TheKnightTrain and Victor Tanzig's Stories of Sodor. This will be nowhere even close to as good as either of them, but they definitely inspired this! And some characters will be in the story while others not. I probably won't be consistent. Sorry.Complete
