Time And Again by Michael Richardson In Progress
The year is 2317. All records of anything that occurred anywhere on Earth prior to 20 January 2017 are gone. All that remains of humanity is the advanced technology of being able to "Set" genetic conditions to near-perfection, and this has resulted in a society fractured between near-immortal aristocrats and all other humans, with only a select few being chosen to work for one of the ruling Houses. Diana, a young girl with extremely high Settings, has been chosen to work for the old and prestigious House Stepfordson, and given her arrival from deathly poverty, she is determined not to ruin the one chance she might have at making her life mean something. But she finds that in a world with no past, no present and no future, nothing is as it seems.

Dystopian? Is that what people call this? Just because something happened seven years ago and now there's little left, and people call that dystopian? They are all wrong! This isn't dystopia! THIS IS WAR!

Criminal Fiction by Reynn Tan In Progress
To read and write fiction, a sweet release for some, but highly illegal--even more so, the ability to materialise fictitious writing. A social warfare between the government's omnipotent regime and the chaos of Eritz's writers, whisperers and fictitious individuals conducts itself to contort the lives of this book's characters. Note: CrimFic updates on an approximately weekly basis, and has been categorised by readers as a dystopian psychological thriller--for lack of better genre allocation. Since it is a work in progress, prior chapters are subject to change. Enjoy :)

A Cold Winter by Daedulis Sin In Progress
The story I tell is one many have heard. The story I tell is one distorted and marred. I tell of the death of my country, of my world, of those I do not know, and those I hold dear. The story I tell is that of a long and harsh nuclear winter. I was conceived carried and born into the radioactive nuclear winter. My mutation was not a surprise, but it's extent was not known in my childhood. My name is Warren, yet I have not been called that name since the death of my mother. I was at the age of twelve when she passed, and that name died with her. My father died to raiders a year after. Luckily for me the raiders took me in instead of killing me, and I was taught to fight, to kill, to survive in a world birthed of nuclear fire. This is my tale, my life, my journey in a cold winter.

Imperfect Perfection by Erica Van Ness Completed
Everyone was told there was no such thing as perfect, that no matter how much you try perfection can never be reached because everyone always has a fault. Still that never stopped human beings from trying to become perfect specimens. They tried and tried with the full belief there was perfection out there. Then along that road to the impossible dream of perfection they became dissatisfied with themselves and everything around. It went to the point where they tried even harder for perfection. Still they couldn’t reach it. Lost in doubt and faithlessness, humanity stopped trying to reach perfection, giving up on their dream. Some thought it was the greatest advancement in the world humanity made, realizing their faults and stopping their effort of perfection but it wasn’t. Chaos emerged and life became horrible to the point where people wished they never gave up on the dream of perfection, but with no signs of perfection being possible why keep trying. Then, in that loss of drive we were born, found, and revealed. Six children, defined by society and the world as perfect. The best grades, the best looks, the best abilities, the best life, the best jobs, and overall the best existence. We became the world’s drive that perfection could be reach. However it’s not just only them who can’t reach perfection. Perfection is impossible, I should know. I’m one of those so called perfect people and even I’m far from perfect.

Utopia by Reynn Tan In Progress
(Apologies for errors in genre, I didn't really know where to put it) This is a short 500-word story I wrote for a creative writing challenge, in which the theme was Utopia. The story essentially bases around an orphaned girl who works as a prostitute to earn money and support herself, and her utopia is what is shunned upon by all parents: her laptop. The story is meant to embody how you can't judge every person without knowing their history, and you can't criticize their every choice without knowing their reason. A person's idea of a perfect paradise bases around their reality and how they perceive it.
