《Spaceslime》Prologue - The SSS Mary Lou
Advertisement
Alone on the bridge of the SSS Mary Lou, Captain Grisegutt is ready to give his final commands. Lights are flashing and alarms are blaring.
Captain: "Mute all alarms"
Everything calms down
Captain: "prepare the Captain's escape pod"
A progress bar shows up in the main monitor
Mary Lou: "15 minutes until escape pod is ready Captain"
Captain: "I guess this is it Mary Lou"
The Captain starts walking away from his console and towards the escape pods. After taking his seat in the escape pod he prepares to give his final commands to the failing ship
Captain: "Set escape pod course towards home base, set ship course towards closest junk-zone"
Mary Lou: “Affirmative”
He feels the ship starts shaking as the course is changed by venting atmosphere from different places on the ship.
Mary Lou: "course changes implemented"
Captain: "how many minutes until escape pod is ready?"
Mary Lou: "5 minutes"
The captain enters his pod and straps into it.
Mary Lou: "Pod is ready for launch, any final commands captain?"
Captain: "Shut down all systems after launching the pod please"
Mary Lou: "Input override commands sentence"
Captain: "Goodbye you dirty girl"
Mary Lou: "Command sentence accepted. Goodbye Captain Grisegutt"
The escape pod is launched and the captain sees that his old ship vents some atmosphere to accelerate away from his pod and towards its final destination.
The captain feels tears are swelling up in his eyes as he is looking at his old ship drifting slowly away.
Captain: "Goodbye Mary Lou"
Time passes by as Mary Lou is slowly floating towards her final destination.
At a star close to the Babylonian debris field a solar flare suddenly erupts causing cosmic radiation to soar through the debris field and its surroundings.
Lights suddenly start flashing throughout the field in random patterns and locations lasting for a few minutes.

Some distance away from the debris field a solitary derelict ship also lights up.
This is the SSS Mary Lou.

Blood Shaper
Kay didn't have the best life. Most of it was fairly standard, but his past was marred by a tragedy that changed his entire world. Years later he had managed to mostly rebuild his life, and had started making something of himself. And then he woke up in a different world. A world of fantasy and [Classes], a world much more dangerous than the one he'd been born in. The new world he's been dumped into doesn't hold anyone's hand. Even with the bonuses that being an Outworlder brings won't keep him perfectly safe. One mistake could kill him in an instant. But maybe, with a little bit of help, he could start over once more, and start to make something of himself again. And maybe, just maybe, that something he makes himself into could be amazing. And bloody. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] (We'll see how I do) ****** As I'm leaning right now there probably will be sexual content later on, but I might change my mind later. There definitely will be death, gore, violence, and blood. Lots and lots of blood.

STAGNANTE: Land of Stagnation
Brogdar's southern continent is known as the Land of Stagnation; rather than deserts and drylands, the land here is filled with harsh steppes. Monsters walk its plains and most nations send criminals who've murdered to die here. These criminals overtime formed clans and tribes that were able to carve an existence out of the massive continent, yet unable to break the flow of the god's minions. To this day, criminals still arrive and pray to join these tribes. And as the boats arrive from the northern nations, Ronin Londer discovers tribeless criminals that aren't able to join right away: Stagnante. The only question he faces now is if he'll survive. Set in the farflung corners of the setting created for STEM: The Topical Dungeon, Stagnante follows Ronin Londer trying to survive the land of stagnation. Monstrous beasts, other stagnante, and even the tribes themselves will stand in his way to finding a new life in this land. This series will release chapters at irregular intervals, with a focus on the story taking "as long as it takes" to be told right.

Making a difference
Harry Potter FanFiction: Hannah Longbottom liked to watch the people who entered the Wizarding World via the small, walled courtyard behind the Leaky Cauldron for a reason: During her not so long life, she had learned about three different boys who had entered the Wizarding World alone, leaving behind a life so horrible she could barely imagine. One of them, who became a friend of hers, had gone through great hardships to become a hero, one of the greatest wizards the Wizarding World had ever seen. One of them, who had been her teacher, had become cold and bitter, and no one had ever recognized what amazing talents he could have offered, until it had been too late. One of them, the monster she had helped to fight during the Battle of Hogwarts, had become the most dreaded, most dangerous, and most deadly man Great Britain had ever seen, and yet it could have all been different, if someone had just tried to make that difference early enough in that life, if he had not boarded the train to Hogwarts all alone. Already posted at Devianart and AO3, I've included a link to RoyalRoad on my profiles there.
