Krill: Hello and welcome to the NewsPage, I am your host, Krill.
Cookie: And I’m cookie!
Krill: This week’s top stories are: Scribble’s namechange to Pendragon, WriTE’s elections, change new world’s meteoric rise on topwebfiction, and strife in the LitRPG community.
Cookie: So much stuff!
Krill: First, Scribble – the group based in Royal Road Legends – voted to change their name to “PenDragon.” Pendragon leaders said that the name change came about because of the difficulties in explaining the group’s purpose with a vague name like Scribble and a desire to rebrand. Other experts and Group Leaders, as well as admins, have expressed confusion regarding this change, unsure of what it means for the group and the wider RRL community. Needless to say, we wish Pendragon the best in their future endeavors and hope they will continue to make RRL a lively place.
Cookie: WriTE is still the best!
Krill: Speaking of WriTE, Writers to The End – the largest group on RRl – has started its voting process. Although the ballots are secret, sources suggest that the race is too close to call just yet.
Cookie: Make me mod!
Krill: Over on TopWebFictions.com, long-time RRL favorite, Change: New World, has shot up triumphantly on the weekly rankings. The question is, how long will this last?
Cookie: Forever!
Krill: And finally, strife and infighting in the wider LitRPG community after Aleron King – the self titled ‘father of American litrpg’ attempted to trademark the phrase ‘LitRPG’ and allegedly suppressed rivals on his facebook group. Rival Blaise-Corvin took him on in an lengthy post and sources indicate that the trademark claim has also been thrown out. Good news for LitRPG lovers, but the effects of this split have yet to play out. We’ll bring you more updates as they unfold.

Summon Imp!
Travel with a newly born demon as he grows and learns in his own world as well as in other worlds as he gets summoned again and again. Usually to die or kill for others in strange and exciting places, but it's never certain what the next one will bring. It has its perks. With each new world comes a new story with new experiences and new lessons. There is always more to see, more to learn and more to know. Maybe, someday, it will all make sense. For now he will just work hard to become stronger, to be useful and, hopefully, survive that way. A coming-of-age story, but different. Things start to slow down to a crawl. Colors blur into one another until my vision is completely white. All I can think is "Shit, not this again!" I hate being summoned. _________________________________ updates once a week until I get more time The idea for this story began in two places. One was the ridiculously rapid pace of gaining power in many novels. Both in games and in novels, I enjoy the struggle of the beginning character, why always the rush? The other was the way many monster or non-human MCs always seem to hurry to become human (again). It always felt like a cheap way to grant the character extra powers without the difficulty of writing a non-standard thought process. Thus I wanted to write the slow(ish) progression of a monster character gaining strength and intelligence, while remaining distinctly non-human. There are no stats, xp or systems, no reincarnated soul or completely formed being to start with - unless I want to make fun of those. While the MC 'evolves', the process takes months if not years to proceed step by little step. Sit down with me and imagine, what would it be like if...

Asya
A bassist and former teen star struggles with addiction, alcoholism, and depression. He has long been in love with the lead singer of his band, but this is a love that remains unrequited. Trying and failing time and time again to regain control over his life despite his problems, he must learn to confront them: to accept himself and what he has in order to move forward. Warning, triggering content will be in this novel. I will be exploring sexual themes and drug abuse. I will also be exploring trauma and mental illness, as well as themes of drug overdose, suicide, and sexual assault. If these themes are too much for you, please read elsewhere. I don't write with the intention of causing emotional harm.
