The Legion of Nothing

The Legion of Nothing

Not all superheroes are bigger than life

by Jim Zoetewey

Eli James: "This is gritty superhero fiction, and these kids don’t fight without facing very real facts of life.  Succeeds in almost every way: it is gripping, well written, and regularly updated."

Miranda Sparks: "One of the few series I find myself able to follow without prompting . . . it encompasses everything heartwarming and good about the genre . . . manages to maintain a fun, bouncy vibe as childhood friendships are forged into comradery."

Tapestry

Tapestry

A Tale of Empire

by Wysteria

Donna Sirianni: "The voice is just amazing.  It brings about an air of arrogance to the tone, of high society.  Sometimes I did want a bit more information.  . . . definitely different, very refreshing . . . I’m going to have to file this one into the "don’t miss" category."

MeiLin Miranda: "Wysteria paints a thorough portrait from the inside out of a society reminiscent of both Victorian England and Heian Japan . . . one of the best pieces of web writing out there."

Chris Poirier: "an interlinked trio of webnovels about the life of the title character . . . an ambitious project to make sense out of a senseless life . . . never a happy story, but if you enjoy reading complex, textured fiction, give it a shot"

Queen of Seven

Queen of Seven

A sequel to Alisiyad.

by Sarah R. Suleski

Gavin Williams: "dialogue between characters always rings true . . . currently my favourite web-serial"

Sonja Nitschke: "I love Queen of Seven."

Donna Sirianni: The fantasy comes into play when it’s important to the story instead of being thrown about—yet another reason why I love Sarah’s writing. . . .  Aren’t sequels supposed to be lesser than the originals?  Definitely a "don’t miss" work!
