When Ashlynn-Kate Milby and her brother, Roman, win passes to go to GameCon Australia from a giveaway off of YouTube, things seem pretty cool at first. Even though Ashlynn-Kate isn't as big a gamer as Roman, the convention is pretty fun, after all, it is in Australia, which is REALLY far away from the United States. They even get to meet the creators of the greatest game ever (in Ashlynn-Kate's opinion), Titanic: Escape or Drown. Then, an earthquake hits. It was totally unexpected, and, not to mention, unprepared for. The Sydney Opera House is destroyed, just a mile away from GameCon. In the meet-up with the creators of Titanic: Escape or Drown, May, one of the creators, decides they can escape the next wave. How, exactly? Using gaming tactics. Ashlynn-Kate, Roman, May, the rest of the creators, and a few others go on the submarine escape adventure of a lifetime. Will they survive? Based on a weird dream I had last night, The Shake will (not) change you, (not) scare you, and hopefully (not) make you concerned for the characters. Please bear with me.

Code Vein Fanfic (SI)
A classic story of someone dying and waking up in a video game/anime in place of the Protagonist. However, will game knowledge really hold up when such a game becomes a new reality? See how our protagonist tries to secure a future where he can enjoy his new nigh immortality and get a happy ending. Let's see how this new reality puts him at his wit's end! By the way. I've seen how people write the FF here with the whole Male Reader X SumCharacter/Franchise or just Female Reader plainly. I tried to write this as Male Reader with the whole (Y/N) and all that jazz but my brain kinda short-circuited (is that even a word?) and just decided to write this as a Novel. So I made it SI (Self Insert or mostly 1st POV) I don't own Code Vein. Please don't sue me!

There's no actual plan or strategy, I just write. Legit, I just wing it, and it seems to be working Also, I might not be the best writer in the world, since English is not my native language, and I self-taught myself how to speak and write in English, so it won't be perfect Just a little heads up, there's might be, and probably are, some typos in the story. Just a little fyi With that said, I hope you enjoy this story, and please leave back any feedback, negative or positive. I really wanna know what you enjoyed, what you didn't, what you thought was exaggerated, what could've been done differently, what could've been done better etc Please have a good rest of your morning, evening, day, noon or night wherever and whenever you read this.

Unsteady (Phan)
Tragedy struck California this morning, and many people who were sleeping at 8 am didn't wake up in time to know that they were struck with a Magnitude 5.3 Earthquake. Many are saying those are the lucky ones, because those who survived, stayed alive long enough to see history happen. Four and a half hours later, California thought they were in the clear. After an extraordinary 600 foot Tsunami hit the Dockweiler State Beach, wiping out everything in it's path. Rescue crews have been awaiting on this horrific day in California, to go out and try to find any survivors. They do not have their hearts set on finding many alive. The clip ended, and through tunnel vision, Phil flipped back to Twitter. Dan hadn't wrote him in a while, and he hadn't been online as far as he was aware of. But one question was burning in his mind. When he saw Tori's twitter, she only had a handful of followers- so even if she happened to post that Phil said Dan was in America, it wouldn't count for everyone to know where Dan was. He hovered his mouse over the search bar, typed in "Dan", and clicked onto Dan's Twitter account. Heading to the California beach for my birthday! ----- Honestly you guys can thank the song "Unsteady" by X Ambassadors and those tornado warnings we were having in Florida for this one.Complete

Blasted Futures, Secret Histories (SciFi Smackdown)
The Adventures of Morley and Boots: The crew of the Leapfrog travel randomly about the galaxy in search of unique lifeforms to trap & trade. Intra-galactic poaching is profitable, but risky - like when an Evil Intergalactic Empire accuses you of capturing their Goddess, and you don't even know which critter she is! End Game: In an alternate near-future Indochina, Imperial France still rules, much to the chagrin of the local Siamese. Ratana's brother is captain of a premiere league football team, and a hero to the Siamese - and when he is booted from the squad to make space for the son of a powerful nobleman, it sets off a chain of events that could result in the toppling of the Empire. Self-Assembly Required: Human civilization has been almost entirely destroyed by a catastrophic plague of nanites, but one city remains, hidden and protected by Hydra, a team of all-female nano/human hybrids. Is the arrival of a roguish, lone-wolf mercenary a sign that human civilization is recovering, or the event that could destroy the few remaining survivors? The Woman from Mars: The robotic crew of the Basilisk thought humans were gone, long gone. But when they are sucked back in space and time to Jupiter's moon Europa in 2552, they discover a Viking civilization with the technology to rebuild human civilization - assuming the woman from Mars can complete her mission. Blasted Futures is a short story collection. All of these works have been written for The Pub's SciFi Smackdown, a contest in which contestants write Science Fiction stories meeting the specifications laid out by the smackdown's host, @ForbiddenPlanet.

"You are an expendable. You are not expected to return." ______________________________ (⚠️SPOILERS⚠️) Urbanshade never left room for making friends or having much time for love. Even so, you confided in a coworker and best friend, Milo. The two of you suffered in the abandoned facilities, but at least you suffered together. And then you met him. Tall, cold, and not all human. You weren't too afraid. Not like the other expendables. You didn't seem disgusted either. Just a quiet cautiousness. That made your presence more tolerable to him. Perhaps even fond of it, but the day he admited such as the day the world ended. And then you returned, again and again. The two of you grew closer than he ever thought possible. Now, the two of you spend your time exploring the Blacksite and digging up more hatchets Urbanshade thought they'd buried too deep to be found. What else will the two of you find? (Game: Roblox - Pressure) (Artist - ???)
Smiling Critters: A Turn To The Story.
During The Hour Of Joy, DogDay finds himself trapped in a real nightmare; being imprisoned by CatNap and tortured for years. He never knew what became of his friends. He never knew if they really died, as CatNap told him numerous times during his torture, or if they managed to escape his clutches. DogDay believes his destiny is already written; He was going to die there, immersed in the uncertainty and pain of torture, unable to escape that hell where he was placed by the friend he respected the most. Everything will be solved with the arrival of a savior. Some angels who came from heaven and that will change the story we all know. (NOTES) -This story is just an alternate version of the true story. It includes my own theories, too. If there's any disagreement, you can argue it as long as it is respectful. -I do not support any type of ships in this fanfic, since the relationships between the characters are rather different types of friendship, enemies, or maybe platonic feelings. Some interactions may lead to misunderstandings, so I'm warning now. -The images are mine and were made with Gacha Life 2 (I'm not good at drawing) - Any feedback will be welcome to help me improve my writing. Don't be ashamed to leave your opinions in the comments or by private message! -The narrator changes distinctly in this story. If there is no symbol above it, it will be in the third person. If these symbols appear, these will be the narrators: ❤: Bobby Bearhug. 🍎: PickyPiggy. 🌈: CraftyCorn. 💡: Bubba Bubbaphant. ⚡: Hoppy Hopscotch. ⭐: KickinChicken. ☀: DogDay. 🟠: Austin. 🔵: Maya. 🔴: Oscar.Complete
