And to think, it was just supposed to be a trip to the airfield...

Flanker66 was just an airplane enthusiast who was taking a trip to the airfield. It all goes horribly wrong, however, when the airplane he is in is ripped from this Earth. Now, trapped aboard an alien spaceship, her must survive and get back home in...Black Swan Flying.

Zyxzy is struggling to please a psychotic parent by wandering around murdering good guys, until one of said good guys convinces him/her to switch sides. Then he/she goes on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge against his/her parent.

Yeah, I basically made you Krona.

If I'm asking for advice on a story idea, don't tell me it can't be done.

And to think, it all started with a trip to the grocer's...

Ettina was just an average, single woman, living in his apartment. One day, while going on a trip to the grocer's, with rather bare roads, she found her usual way blocked by a large car crash, annoyed, she takes an alternate route, and is harassed by a crazed homeless man, who spouts nonsense about a thing with a stick and how creatures are out to get him. Dismissing him, Ettina continues on to the grocer, which she finds to be strangely empty, with only the staff. He gets his groceries quickly unnerved, eager to return to his apartment. And then one of the cashiers screams, her mouth turned into a gaping, flower-like thing, and lunges.

Ettina is now trapped in a nightmare. She fought of the twisted staff with the contents of the store, and now desperately tries to survive the living hell she has found herself in.

I know nothing about you.

Zyxzy was just another Paleosinologist of a grad student wondering how he was possibly going to carve out a career for himself outside of academia. While wallowing in this undirected sadness, he's visited by his old childhood friend, who used his incredible engineering talent and business prowess to become a millionaire within two years of graduating high school. He tells Zyxzy something incredible, unbelievable - he's built a time machine... and history isn't looking like it's supposed to.

Now it's a race against meta-time: Can Zyxzy fix the An Shi Rebellion before everything he's ever known becomes mere uchrony? And... does he even want to?

Tze Tze is a failing occult-horror author in late-1920's Berlin. His daily existence is one of disappointment and poverty, as he slowly sinks into alchoholism.

But one day, as he is crouched, vomiting into a gutter, he is approached by a member of one of the many street gangs vying for power in Berlin. A Nazi. The Nazi asks Tze Tze if, for a large sum of money, he will use knowledge of the occult to help bring about the resurrection a beast to aid the Nazis in their quest for power, a beast who's horrors cannot be comprehended by the human mind.

But Tze Tze is conflicted. He has never agreed with the Nazis, but he either takes them up on their offer, or dies in poverty on the streets. Besides, such beasts and the occult are the things of mere fairy-tales. What could go wrong with helping these madmen if it means a meal every day and a place to sleep?

The Great Pie Alt is the employee of the month at the accounting firm, and a kind, generous man, who wouldn't think twice about helping another...at least, that's what he thinks. In reality, he is a lazy, inefficient, self-absorbed, conceited jerk. Watch as this man with a rather exaggerated self-opinion goes through life accompanied by his rather dysfunctional friends.
