《Tales of Disruption》Over 12 Billion Subscriptions and Counting!

On a private research space station owned by CyNanTech Corporation ...
"It's miraculous." CFO Marsha Wilcox said while reading a printed report. "The nanites are keeping viruses and cancer at bay. Finally!"
"Yes, ma'am, but we've still got one problem ..." replied Chief Scientist Samuel Earl.
"And that is?" Marsha winced and folded the report.
"Well, ma'am, they require constant feeding of a serum, and we can only make it here in low gravity."
"That's not a problem, Sam! That's fantastic!"

The treatment reached mass production ...
"Just one injection, and that's it, Doctor?" asked Sean Jenkins.
"That's correct, Mr. Jenkins, the nanites will enter your bloodstream and will stop your 'terminal' cancer. But you'll have to consume The serum every day for the rest of your life."
"For how much, Doctor?"
"Only $1.00 per dose."
"Let's do it!" Jenkins excitedly tapped his arm for a shot.

A decade had passed ...
CyNanTech executives gathered at the space station for a milestone dinner celebration.
Marsha stood up and spoke: "Congratulations to all of us! We've reached one-third of the planet. Over 12 billion subscriptions and counting! We're bound to become trillionaires!"
They all cheered and toasted drinks.
Marsha sat down and checked her phone. She received a secure-message from a newly hired biochemist, Director Fred Moss, requesting an urgent face-to-face meeting.
They met in private ...
"What is it, Fred?" asked Marsha.
"I've got exciting news, ma'am. I discovered a way to manufacture the serum on Earth."
"That's incredible!" Marsha smiled. "Send me your report so that I can get your research funded."

24 hours later, a broadcast came through on the Global Space News network:
***Breaking News***
I'm Rebecca Smith, sitting in for Mark Lee, who is on vacation:
"Another CyNanTech employee escaped an airlock. The fourth mysterious suicide this year. Rumors say a 'space sickness' affects some individuals' brain tissue due to extensive time spent experimenting in low gravity. Some experts are concerned about contagion. Authorities are quarantining all private space stations. The good news is that it won't disrupt any manufacturing or distribution of the life-saving serum, as confirmed by CyNanTech."

The Long and Exciting Life of Kreet the Kobold (Life 2)
Kreet was originally a D&D character. Life 1 was essentially her backstory. Life 2 picks up just after the events of the D&D campaign in the Underdark. At first you won't recognize the characters, but bear with it for a couple chapters and the few important points will be revealed. Also I stole a player's character (with his permission!) in the form of Sigmundurr. Also, unlike Life 1, I'll be posting this slowly over time. Right now I'm writing around chapter 20 and I suspect I'm only halfway. Tone may be a little different. ( Cover art by KuroNeko I'm pretty sure!)

Eliot Ness for Mayor
An everyman tests his mettle when a Voodoo god, in the guise of a kindly crackpot, thrusts him back in time and into a violent riot. Ironworker Frank O'Brien digs his life: great wife, tight family, and a job he loves, raising skyscrapers for a firm whose owner he respects. Smooth going until his boss, the owner's grandson, stirs racial and labor tensions. Soon, Frank's fighting the good fight, and standing tall seems to work. He even manages a few allies until a Voodoo god mucks up the works, knocking Frank back to 1966 and into the center of Cleveland's Hough riots to test his mettle. Needless to say, getting back to see his little girl's youth orchestra recital's gonna be a bitch. ELIOT NESS FOR MAYOR is a short novel of magical-realist fiction, a stand-alone book in the Shantytown Cycle. Written for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), I will be posting revisions as I complete them and should be done by early 2022, though I am making major changes so the timing may be longer. This book is cross-posted on two websites: Wattpad and Royal Road. Both are reputable, high-quality sites. Do not trust this book on other websites. They "scrape" material from reputable sites, posting the stolen material as an original to lure users in, but contain links that include malicious code.

The Everyday Life of A Pathfinder
Pathfinders are people who are respected and revered, not because of power or might, but because of knowledge of the world. They are the peacekeepers between humans and nature. Guiding humans through the most dangerous areas known to man and killing any species which attempts to throw off the balance of the natural world. This is their job - and their passion. *** Note: This story is going to have a few generic elements in it, like fantasy setting, guilds, cursing and stuff like that. A few (a lot) of things it won’t have is: Overly bloody descriptions, I don’t need to have enough buckets of gore to fill a ballroom for people to get that guy is defiantly dead; Rape, I don’t like it and it’s honestly painful writing that stuff; Harems, fuck harems; Overpowered MC, EVER; Game elements/ transported to another world, overused as shit; “I’m out for revenge”, no one cares; “My village was burned down and everyone died ;-;”, yeah you and the other 60% of the population; A lot of overly dramatic events, Drama has its time and place to be impactful, so you need to use it sparingly so when you do it’s special; “I’m going to stab you because I’m CrAZy, I believe that everyone has a reason for what they do, sometimes the reason is because they’re fucking insane, but I’m still not going to write things like that; Generic fantasy creatures, I’m tired of hearing about the fucking mystical dragons or the god damn slimes, so I’m going to create my own monster. Also feel free to roast. I don't get offended easily and it's honestly one of the best ways to increase writing abilites.
