I-... I'm sorry...
All I can say is that I was dared to do this...... more>>

Prompt: Write something thirsty about a hermit crab (it) and a jar (*it*) in a university lecture room.

BTW, I considered picking Horror and Psychological in genres, because this was horrifying to write and it has caused me psychological damage... do with that information what you will. I also marked this for sexual content, but I defy you to point out one overtly sexual thing about this story!

Disclaimer: No jar was harmed in the writing of this story... the crab is also fictional, in case you're wondering...

P.S. The one who prompted this, and is questioning their friendship with me as we speak, would like to mention that Purple Pincher hermit crabs are also known as PPs... so... Ya... <<less

Forced to stay with her father for a few weeks while her city apartment is fumigated, Grace finds the strangers in her hometown looking at her weird no matter how natural she acts.

Courier Quest is now available on Amazon and Audible, narrated by Giancarlo Herrera and Hannah Schooner! ... more>>

(This story is a participant of Royal Road's November 2023 Writeathon event.)

You have been summoned here for one reason. Trevor, you need a break.

Trevor Anderson was just another normal, overworked retail worker at an understaffed big box store. All he wanted was his promised promotion into a less stressful position, a chance to use some of his vacation days without feeling guilty about it, and time with his friends.

While waiting patiently for his chance, a workplace accident changed everything for Trevor, including the world that he resided in. After bungling his way through a summoner’s questionnaire and gaining the Power of an extradimensional inventory, he finds himself in the small, peaceful town of Tosa.

In a world where he can finally relax, he finds himself both unable and unwilling to sit still long enough to do it. With everything he needs to take destiny into his own hands - a clean slate, a supernatural ability, and good friends - Trevor will use his Power to turn his life around.

And this time, it’s on his terms.

What to expect:
* Cozy, questing, SoL, jokes, and probably some other buzzwords, too.
* Experimenting with a third person style.
* Numbers are small, but they go up and progression is obvious.
* One book worth of content. <<less

Francine Lataille is the villainess of an otome game called 'Personal Spring', and at some point she became self-aware of this. She began to learn things in ways unclear to her, and her knowledge carried over between playthroughs. She tried to struggle, to change the outcomes she knew were coming, but her words and actions were bound by the game's script. Gradually she came to accept that. She's just along for the ride. And gradually she fell in love with the protagonist, Emma Grenier, even though she can never express it.... more>>

After innumerable playthroughs she knows everything about the game. Every route, every choice, every event, every conversation, every interaction, and every ending; even those she's not actually present for. She even has some knowledge of the outside. She's not sure how, but it's all come to her bit by bit. There is nothing about the game she hasn't seen hundreds of times.

Until one day another New Game starts where something is different. It seems small at first, but things are not as they should be. Is it a glitch? Is she following a new script now? Or could it be the most terrifying possibility, that she is finally responsible for her own actions?
