If you've been reading the Fiction Forum and blog (and to get the most of the HR experience, you really should read them) you are probably aware that my character, Krystal Fae (PID# 10962), has been participating in two separate collaborative stories recently.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~https://heroes-rising-forum.2349640.n4.nabble.com/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Collaborative writing is both harder and easier than some might suspect. One comparative phrase describing the process is that it is like trying to herd cats......

Art Contest Entries

Hello heroes...and other people of various morals....time to recap our recent art contest. "But the art contest ended in July!" Yes, you are correct. Due to various events all happening close together I decided to push off this post until now. As you should know, back in mid June I posted a series of sketches I had done that were painted and will be made into cards in due time. Players joined in the fun and added their own coloring and spin to the art. Some photobashed together their coloring...

Heroes Rising Fiction: A New Darkness Part 14

  The heroes that Nova brought with him fought through the night. A few joined in throughout the late hours. His call echoed around the world, and heroes poured across the forbidden border of North Onnotangu as the sun rose.

Answering the Call: RAID in Onnotangu (Fan Fiction)

By Chained Angel     “What do you think?” Angel asked. She craned her neck so she could get a better view in the mirror. “Should I stick with my silver body armor or go with a sportier look?”     “I think you look fine in either.” Prysmatica studied her companion’s new outfit. “Are you going for general intimidation against a foe or something photo-ready, highlighting your… assets?”     “Can’t I have both?” Chained Angel dropped her wings from...

Heroes Rising Fiction: A New Darkness Part 13

Starmaster put Shizue behind him as they backed up. The children gathered near him. “Who are you? Your thoughts, they are...strange.” Just then, General Paneki pulled himself up from the ground, a horrible looking burn on his face from where a small girl hit him with a fire blast. “You’re clever, human. Befriending these dregs of society, I didn’t expect that.” Now Starmaster felt a deep worry. “I know that sensation, but it cannot be. You shouldn’t be here.” “Who is he?” Shizue asked. Paneki laughed,...

In The Room with Slayer B.A.S.

By Chaz Hamiltion             A clap of thunder rumbled in the distance. The sky beyond the tops of the downtown skyscrapers of New Amsterdam rolled with dark clouds that threatened heavy rain. Chaz increased his pace on the sidewalk, anxious to reach his parked car before the sky unlocked and drenched him in a downpour.     Few people were out on the streets, likely having already made it home for the evening or finding shelter in a nearby...
