*Cover design created by Fang Ride (Figment Username)* 
The world is in the age of Peace. It is a society of order, uniformity, and equality. Everyone is made to be the same, upstanding citizen that will fulfill their given duty to the society. They are to follow the rules, marry who they've chosen/who chose them at seventeen, and allow the Watchmen to "protect them". It is, as the President says, Utopia. Crissy Javis doesn't believe a single bit of that nonsense. Crissy Javis is a normal, seventeen year old citizen. But Crissy Javis is different in one way... She dreams. Crissy lives on Earth by day, but finds herself in a made up, dream world called Lidania, every night. There she hangs out with her best friend--Jerimiah, Lover--James, and honorary sister--Liliana. But what happens when that dream world isn't just a dream after all? Crissy must leave her home and her mother to travel to the place of her dreams where a great evil is is rising. It is her duty to save Liliana, James, and everything she loves before it is too late. Crissy is DIFFERENT.

Dreambreaker by TheDreamChronicles

Jayde Knight lives in a world where imagination is suppressed and conformity is king. As the daughter of The Regime's Head Executioner, she's expected to follow the rules-no dreams, no creativity, no magic. But something inside her resists. Something that's been haunting her every night with flickers of color and impossible visions. When a mysterious new boy named Wes arrives at her school, Jayde's carefully controlled world begins to unravel. Wes is different. He tells her there's more to life than The Regime's stifling order, more to the dreams she's been secretly having. He introduces her to a forgotten world of creativity, where magic is real and the power of dreams can shape reality itself. But The Regime isn't blind. They know Jayde is different. Her brother Simon, once her ally, has become one of The Regime's enforcers, and he's been sent to hunt down those who defy the system-the Dreamers. As Jayde's powers and feelings for Wes grow, she becomes a threat to the very fabric of the world she's always known. Now, Jayde must choose: conform to the gray, empty life The Regime has laid out for her, or embrace the dangerous magic within her dreams. The choice could cost her everything-including the only family she has left. In a world where disobedience means death, will Jayde risk it all to wake the world from its slumber?

Kadota (Love Trilogy) by Lisa_Evette

In the quiet desert village of Dey, living among the sand dunes and mirages, existed an anomaly - me. I was different, born without the ability to read, write or keep long memories. My scientist father hailed my uniqueness as a miracle, but my life was far from ordinary. To the village, I was just an oddity, a walking puzzle with missing pieces. My only solace was my best friend, always standing by me, his unspoken love for me etched in his affectionate gaze. We lived under a cruel regime with a population no more than a hundred. Every year, one of us would be chosen on the Counting Day, a ceremonious banishing ritual, to become yet another outcast to the floating prison island far off in the ocean - our village's dreaded version of population control. Our past criminals, defiant to government, and more terrifyingly, our loved ones gone missing, were thought to inhabit that island, their fate, a terrifying enigma. This year, as the Counting Day approached unrelentingly, and my loved one's life rested on borrowed time, I made a decision. I volunteered to be casted out. It was my turn to face the unknown with a hidden purpose - to locate my lost father who was sent there years ago.

Link City by MapleCFreter

When you're marked you have two choices; fight or die. Nance lives in the past, literally. Her city is a recreation of early twenty-first century society. To the outside world they're experiments, just rats running around a maze. In an impoverished future world, the city seems to be their only chance of finding where they went wrong, or so they say. Nance doesn't know the real purpose of her home, and she doesn't care. All she sees are the one hundred teenagers, just like her, who are killed every year in the barbaric ritual known as the marking. They tattoo your face and pit you against your peers, against the city. Nance doesn't know why, but it doesn't matter, because she's sixteen and it's her turn to be marked. **So I decided to replace the original story with the rewrite because they are pretty much exactly the same. Plus, it's a lot less complicated then having two separate books for the same story.** There is a * next to all rewritten chapters. THE ORIGINAL VERSION IS COMPLETE. IT'S JUST NOT MARKED AS SUCH BECAUSE I GAVE UP ON THE REWRITE.

Redemption Reserved for Superheros by RDeano

(edit) I forgot to add that this started out as a confessional journal about becoming clean after a 10 year + addiction to OTC cold meds, but that was not my style of writing, I liked the material so I wanted to expand it into a novel length work featuring the journal elements. To say this work is a roller coaster would put it lightly. Although there are elements of time travel I would consider my sudden transitions reality travel. I use actual experience and dreams as a foundation, then toss in some fourth wall breaking narratives (meta-fiction), with a sprinkling of facts and quotations from songs and factual articles. It tends to be written similarly to an essay sans the boring. I have been influenced strongly by Vonnegut and W. S. Burroughs , and a wide variety of album rock, and that bleeds through. The tags dystopian and dark humor describe the whole piece best but there is a lot of genre jumping. I've done a good deal of research, not just for factual things but for the type of writing I do. Although not technically fan fiction, there is a nod to Final Fantasy games. The cover photo is a shared copyright, Brian Barbour took the photo, I added treatments.

The Tale of Ren - Book one: The Hunt Begins by RenCeSa07

From all of the things on earth, humans are the most interesting to watch. I've seen them research things, developing things, but also creating and destroying things. That's why I've been living among them for thousands of years. And all these time, I've seen humans evolve, physically but also mentally. All my stories of my lives through out history are different. And now, humans are at the peak of there break through of science with their knowledge of technology. This is a new story of mine. A story about my new life in a new modern generation, my first appearance as a teenager. (If you want to know how the main characters (Ren, Michelle, Kyle, Shun, Dave) look like, see the cover.) Also credits go to the artists of characters on the cover. I didn't draw them, just randomly found them on the internet. I only put them together for the cover

At first I thought I'd pick something a bit out of my comfort zone (so.... NOT SciFi for once...) to expand my horizon, but when I saw a prompt about time travel I was immediately inspired. Please keep in mind, all of this is WIP! The title, cover, and some of the content might change at any time... I have an outline and I worked hard to come up with a compelling and consistent story line, but due to the nature of the story (timey whimey stuff!) I might have to revise things a few times as I write. I'm grateful for any feedback and I hope you enjoy :)
