What Have I Done?
Exhibit 1a: Audio-Visual Signal One Way Retrieval
Proof that extinct Earth-based intelligent lifeforms had invaded our territory.
"Is this thing on?"
...
"Oh great, I'm glad you're receiving me. Wow, over 2 billion viewers already! I snuck this in using a cloaking container, but I felt this wormhole transceiver was necessary."
...
"Oh, right? Who am I? A janitor, believe it or not."
...
"Ha, that's very funny, a space junk disposer ... Well, I'm a disposer, that's for sure. The term janitor is a codename for those of us on search and destroy missions. Well, should I say we're a squad? There's a few thousand of us on board, ready, locked, and loaded ..."
...
"Why am I streaming to you? I was just about to get to that. I'm in the middle of a moral crisis here. We've never used the wormhole tech to visit an alien solar system to annihilate a species ..."
...
"That's right. You were told it was for terraforming a new Earth. I'm afraid not, folks. Intelligence says there's a hostile, predatory species that tortured and slaughtered our third envoy, and they're trying to trace our residual wormhole tunnel back to our homeworld."
...
"Oh yeah, we've sent several reconnaissance teams, like in a cloak-and-dagger style. Top secret."
...
"Why am I willing to risk a court marshal to tell you? We've been invaders of everything on our planet. We've ruined entire ecosystems, and we've caused mass extinctions. I can't accept that we'll start an interstellar conflict, at least without first suing for peace."
...
"Oh, that alarm you hear? That's a red alert. Hold on, folks ... it sounds like there's extraterrestrial communication going on."
...
"You heard that too? The aliens found us and are threatening to occupy our ship."
...
"I don't know why we can all hear it. Somehow this communication between ourselves causes the ship and alien signals to be picked up as well."

...
"That's right. It's our protocol. The captain just initiated a self-destruct."
...
"Why don't I seem afraid? I am, but we've trained for these self-sacrificing maneuvers countless times. We're told to never expect a return trip home on every mission. We're mentally prepared for the worst-case scenario."
...
"Yes, once initiated, self-destruct cannot be stopped. I'm about to die soon, folks. It'll collapse the wormhole and prevent the aliens from getting whatever information they want."
...
"I know, I know. I heard that too! They're tracing this stream back to Earth, and they even mentioned our galactic coordinates! What have I done?"

Time.Travel()
John Thomson is a regular college student, the kind of average person you cross on the street every day. Or at least that’s what most people assume, because he’s far from what’s considered “normal”. After all, a normal person isn’t regularly dragged into life-threatening tribulations involving fantastic creatures, otherworldly beings and people with logic-defying superpowers. Not to mention that he seems to have a knack for sticking his nose into the nefarious plans of secret societies and ancient cults. But John’s life wasn’t always such a mess: Everything began when he accidentally invented a way to rewind time… Weekly Schedule: At least a ~3.5k words chapter every Wednesday and Sunday.

Runicka: Tournament of Monsters (A GameLit Card Game Fantasy)
The runes are changing, and with it, the game itself changes. Taygion Ardwella finds himself stranded, alone, and on the run from some very determined guards who claim Tay's stolen from them. They're right, but that shouldn't mean Tay has to give back what he took. He's only been in Stormwall for a week and already, he's earning the ire of the most powerful and notorious House that controls the city's underground. And when their scion challenges Tay to a duel of cards, Tay will find himself thrust into a game of sorcery and strategy as he attempts to both find a way out of this mess and find his own way in the world. To do both, he'll need to learn to accept guidance and coaching where it's sorely needed, craft a deck of unimaginable power, and not die whenever his opponents try and cheat him out of a hard-earn victory. But not all is as it seems in the shadows of Stormwall, and if Tay can figure out the importance of what it is he's stolen, he may just have a chance at saving the game of Runicka. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Runicka: Tournament of Monsters is a high fantasy, card game-based adventure novel with enough magic, worldbuilding, and characters to fill a Sanderson series. I would consider it a part of the GameLit subgenre. This series in particular is not an isekai, and will start and end in a high fantasy setting complete with its own lore and backstory. It is a progression fantasy, and I am writing it inspired by all the Yu-Gi-Oh mangas/animes, and all the hours I've invested/wasted (depending on who you ask) playing TCGs like Yu-Gi-Oh and Magic: The Gathering. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is a work in progress. In your journey through Stormwall alongside Tay, you'll probably find typos, grammatical errors, and maybe a confusing sentence every once in a while (although I hope to keep these to a minimum). That said, comments and suggestions on where I can improve are not only encouraged but greatly appreciated. And finally, expect new chapters every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**Currently on a small hiatus. I have a bit of a workplace crisis going on. I'm still writing, but I don't have time to polish and publish. Chapters will return on a regular basis soon though!!**

Aristocratic Avenue
Andrew had a pretty simple life plan: write LitRPG fiction, make a boatload of cash, and... well, he'd figure out what he actually wanted to do with the cash once he'd gotten it. But things haven't worked out quite as he'd hoped. After dozens of failed LitRPG serial attempts and countless thousands of words written, he's found himself pushing forty and broke, living alone in a crappy apartment.But when the platform upon which he publishes his work, Aristocratic Avenue, gains sentience, he and his fellow writers suddenly finds themselves transported to a playground of its own making, a place where there are no rules except the ones the authors have imposed upon themselves through their own writing. Spawned in pods of three, they will need to work together to figure out just what the darned heck they're supposed to be doing and how to get the goodness gracious out of there.In Andrew's pod are the bossy and enigmatic Margeaux Sinclair, crossover erotica/LitRPG author who immediately demands increasingly kinky sex from the hapless Andrew in order to level up. There's also teenager Zachary, who is rather regretting his choice to write about a world populated only by the undead. Turns out, it's kinda hard to talk when your lips are rotting off.Armed only with his skills of Deduction and Investigation and an inspirational mug he managed to bring along with him from home, Andrew is determined to answer one question:What the ever-loving blessed little heart?!---This is a blow-off-steam hobby project, and I can't tell you how often it'll update as it's dependent on my regular work. But I hope you enjoy it regardless!
