No we are not Austria, and definitely not in Europe. Yes, we are the big blob in the middle of nowhere. We are also the only Nation that is a continent - go figure. We're THAT big. 

I read somewhere you can fit every person in the world in here - giving them an acre each - and still leave Queensland empty... Some of our cattle stations (ranches) are bigger than entire Nations. We're THAT big. 

But there's so few of us in all this space! Averaged out, there are 3 people for every square kilometre of land. A mere 26 million of us, hugging the coastline mostly. The rest (the biggest part of this big blob) is empty. The kind of emptiness where your nearest neighbour is hundreds if not thousands of kilometres away. People have been known to veer off a dusty dirt-packed 'highway'... never to be seen again.

We also eat our 'Coat of Arms'... Oh and we export camels because someone once thought it was a good idea to introduce them to this big blob and just let them run loose in the outback.  What does this tell you?

And don't get me started on our 'thing' for BIG THINGS... I've been inside the Big Pineapple, and seen the big 'rabbit-proof fence' and even the big potato. We have a big - a really big rock - right in the middle too, though this one was here way before our 'thing' emerged...

Note: They are humans instead of animals. Sorry to anyone who thought it would be like beastars or like we got teleported to their world. This is a reader insert and they are all human. Will include swears, triggering/disturbing tropics, might have some heated moments. Read at your discretion. I don't own any of the characters or songs used in the story. Any songs that I say belongs to the reader is just for the story. All rights to the songs and characters (expect y/n) go to the rightful owners. Also this story was inspired by @OneArtsyGamer03 ,please go check out her stories since they are amazing. This is my original story but there are some similarities to her's, so please go show her stories some love because she definitely deserves it. Runawaying from Redshore city wasn't my plan but I felt trapped in that city. You never could make it unless you had connections or were from a famous family and that's not how I wanted it to go. I love to sing and my best friend got me into dance. Now I love going with the flow and letting the music take over my body. I ran away from my home with nothing but my skateboard, guitar and a back full with anything I could shove inside of it. Now I live in a studio apartment, making my own songs with choreography for them and casually posting the audio of the song or the actual dance video on the internet because why not. I work at a skate shop to help pay my bills and to stay out of trouble with the police since I've gotten in trouble with them a couple of times for street performing without a license. But like my best friend used to say, "You're only in trouble if you get caught" and I never did, so now I just chat up with them to pass some time or to help someone. When I heard of a singing competition I thought it couldn't hurt. I mean I might be able to win a nice prize and get some more publicity for my music, which was more important to me then some cash prize but it would be nice.
The Order of Artemis by DKing300
8 parts Ongoing Mature
Most people think of hunting as a barbaric act of killing an animal and wearing it's fur or having the body stuffed and hanging on a wall. While that may be partly true under a certain light in the history of hunting, the hunting I'm referring to is beheld under a total different type of lightning and perspective. True hunting. The struggle between Man and Nature. Where man steps out of his or her comfort zone into an element where they are either no longer the top of the food chain, or they are the apex predator and in some instances, that can change in an instant. Hunting is constant planning and preparing with faith of a successful outcome when oftentimes we are met with failure of a successful harvest but successful in gaining more knowledge of our prey and our surroundings. Most people don't understand why we do what we do and ask if we really wanted a challenge why we don't just join a gym or enter in a 10k marathon. Some of us have and some of us do. But most of us need more. More opportunities and more situations to push us passed our own selves. That's why some of us find ourselves miles into remote territory stalking an apex predator more than four times our size. Or, armed with a speargun and wetsuit several feet deep in shark infested waters in pursuit of tasty and elusive fish and other marine wildlife. What's more, is just being in these wild places alone or with friends is enough for most of us. We cherish the views, the tranquility, the solitude, and the wonder that nature has to offer as well as the bounty that has been set before us as ethical hunters. Most of us will say that there is nothing better than being in a wild and beautiful place in pursuit of a wild and beautiful animal. For we know that even if we are unsuccessful, it is purely the memory of these beautiful and wild places that define us. *Disclaimer* I'm not a professional writer nor do I intend to be. Please enjoy and please be respectful.

Southern Charm by anj6232
26 parts Complete Mature
Jessie White stands out from the crowd. As a Southern woman, she defies the typical expectations for a twenty-four-year-old. While others her age might be in college or embarking on new careers, Jessie's upbringing on a ranch alongside four brothers equipped her with skills many would balk at. She's adept at horseback riding, calving, stall cleaning, and more. Fiercely independent, Jessie refuses to rely on any man, a resolve hardened after heartbreak at the hands of Max Lane, a rancher's son, two years prior. Jessie has resolved to take up bull riding, a skill that appears to be a family legacy. Her lifelong dream has been to ride a bull before an audience, but now, her ambition has shifted to rescuing the White Family Ranch after a substantial portion of their funds vanished and debts began accumulating. Max Lane's family is eager to buy the White Family Ranch, but Jessie refuses to let him take away the one thing that sustains her. Being a beauty bartender owner and a female bull rider makes things challenging. Everyone says she can't do it because she's a woman, but Jessie is determined to prove them all wrong. Initially skeptical, Trace Black doesn't recognize her potential until he witnesses her mount a bull for the first time. Although he may appear arrogant externally, that pales in comparison to his internal complexity. Trace and Jessie are initially oblivious to their chemistry, though it's evident to everyone around them. As Jessie gathers the courage to express her feelings to Trace, the things she dreads occur. However, it doesn't make matters worse; it alters everything profoundly. *WARNING* Book contains language, child loss, trauma, etc. Thank you for choosing my story!
