《Genesis》Poll ~ Not A Chapter
Advertisement
So, as you guys may know, I'm a freshman in college now, yay! What that means is that I predominantly spend my time doing school related stuff and try to write on the weekend.
Well, though I say I'm spending time on school related things, reality isn't always like that and as such, I have gaps in my schedule. Specifically, I usually have two and a half hours of free time on Monday mornings between classes and about an extra hour or so on Monday and Wednesday afternoon depending on the contents of my math 31 "laboratory". During that time, I don't really have much to do and would rather spend it writing, thinking of ideas, or playing video games. That's where you guys come in.
This poll is meant to see what direction you guys want the story to go in and help give me a general idea of what to write because, as I mentioned before, I'm writing on a whim. Before I go off track again, I'll just go a bit more in depth of the poll options.
1- Keep doing what you're doing. AKA, just write whatever pops up in my head as it pops up in my head. Story subject to my whims and potential oversights/plot-holes without proper planning. Personally, I'd prefer to have a better plan, but my plans usually end up getting skewed anyways. Well, I'm just writing for fun so this option is fine too.
2- Focus on the back end. AKA, take a look more on how the game is run, who does what, and potential problems that arise with it. This entails chapters with the Aspects, Adam, Eve, and some real world interaction on Realtek's end. It may get a little technical at times and I'll need to do some research and jot down notes to keep the facts straight. Another thing may be to incorporate the dive gear's application in various other fields such as rehabilitation, training, etc.

3- Focus on the game end. AKA, focusing on the players and their interactions with the world. This would be centered more on players such as Lexy and Drake along with other party members but would include their interactions with the Aspects, Adam, and Eve in game.
OR
I could focus on Adam's job as admin/GM and his role in game. While he may never exactly be off the clock, he'll still be capable of exploring the world of Eden, adventure, craft, and any other such activities between his jobs.
4- Screw that, I got a better idea. AKA, if you've got an idea you would like to see implemented, lay it on me in the comments or by pm if you want to keep it private.
Actually, regardless of what option you pick, any ideas or suggestions would be a great help. All votes and comments will be taken into consideration.
In other news, thanks for the review, sa1880612m. You actually hit it spot on with that. This is my first time writing fiction for fun and the first time I'm attempting to write an ongoing fiction on this sort of scale. One to five page short stories don't count. If anybody has suggestions on how to make Genesis more cohesive as a whole or would like to help edit the story, please contact me. Do note, however, that I do not plan to make any major revisions or rewrites for quite a while. If I plan on doing a rewrite, I won't do it until I have quite a few more chapters written and will be sure to up a new fiction page dedicated to it.
Oh, and thank you guys once again for reading my story. I'm just glad that people find it interesting enough to follow and continue to read as the chapters come out.
Poll now closed. I'll be doing whatever I'm doing so... don't blame me if it is a heaping mess. Not too much thought goes into this honestly. I just get an idea, try to make it work, and write. Updates every 1~2 weeks*.
*If I feel like writing.

The Infinity Islands
I was just supposed to be a normal guy! I was about to graduate from my normal university with my normal English degree, about to begin my first foray out into the real world. But somehow, I had ended up worlds away instead. Far, far away from home, in a world that should have been just like mine, running and fighting for my life in a war I didn't understand. None of us knew why or how we were there or what we were ultimately supposed to accomplish. But that didn't really matter, did it? In my new world, there was only one rule: survive! --- Hey all, I'm Ken, and this is my first time sharing a story online. This story is heavily inspired by Terror Infinity, if it wasn't obvious from the title. I've been interested in making a Terror Infinity story for a while now, but I have a lot of problems with its system and mechanics, so I decided to just make my own system instead of trying to adapt to that one. If you find any mistakes, typos, or awkward phrasing please let me know in the comments so I can fix it! I hope everyone can enjoy this story but, even if you don't, please let me know why and what you think I can do to improve. Thank you. (The original picture for the cover can be found here)

8 70Ephemeral Cycle
Mature +18[?]------Hiatus notice, I'll be rewriting this story heavily over the coming weeks. It isn't going where I wanted it to, bare with me for awhile. Ideally, a months time, but time will tell.------Andrew Marks, among over a million, 'players,' is forcibly recruited into a game where the reality and fiction interlace. Where the slightest error will spell death. For yourself, for your new found allies, or the world. 'Choices have consequences,' is a lesson the Corporation wishes to remind people. In this new world where many fall each and every day, a man simply tries to avoid it all, yet the world isn't so kind as to let him off so easily.--------Chapters do tend to be on the longer side, well, in comparison to other fictions I've read on this site. Typically anywhere from 2500-4500 words depending on my mood at the time.In addition chapter releases are largely dependent on my mood so it should have at least two chapter released a week, however, I'll be busy for the next bit so it will be subject to change. --------Anyways, please bare in mind this is the first creative writing piece I have created with the exception of a novel I started writing just prior to this one. I'd appreciate any help or guidance you may give me to better my writing. Be it characters, background or setting, I'm quite sure there are a few loopholes.This is intended for a mature audience, viewers discretion is advised. I digress, enjoy, rate, comment, and let me know how it's treating you so far! I'll take any help I can get!
8 58Monster Apocalypse
When the news started reporting strange changes of mankind, though the information was obviously controlled, it was enough to create commotion around the world. At first, it was only the subtle change of hair color, though it was strange, everyone accepted such a small change, some embraced it, some dyed their hair into normal colors. Afterwards, videos of people doing impossible feats surfaced onto the media, men lifting cars, women crushing walls, children jumping up to the second story of buildings easily. Then, humans started growing beast like appendages and features, horns and tails sprouted, though abnormally small, it was growing, regardless of the age or gender of the affected human. Despite the countless funds supplied into researching why, or how, did these features come to be, it proved to be fruitless. As those features grew, it became more defined, wings capable of carrying humans into the skies appeared, tails controlled by humans emotions sprouted to a certain length, and stopped growing. And on the last day, known as the beginning of the Monster Apocalypse, mankind grew wild.
