This group is for writers and readers.

Here are the new rules:

1. If you are writing or have written stories you want to share with the VicsLab.com community, you can add your stories to this group, but we ask that you also leave feedback on another member’s story.

2. If you don’t have any stories of your own and just want to read stories, the authors would appreciate it if you leave feedback.

Anyone can join the conversation. Members also can create and comment via forum topics to discuss certain aspects of the stories, such as characters, plot, theme, style, and setting.

If you already have a story on your profile page under your “Stories” tab, you can add that story to the group by selecting the document and then selecting “associated groups.” There you can select this group so it can be seen here. Please select “logged-in users” for your story’s privacy settings if you don’t want non-members to view it. Also, please select “Doc author only” under editing privileges if you don’t want others to edit your work (i.e., make changes to your story).

The Legend of the Artificer: Volume 1

When they woke up, it was not in their own bedroom. Rather, it was in a library, spiraling up into infinity, in the company of a single owl with an offer they can't refuse: a chance to start over, in a new world, with magic and monsters and mayhem, in exchange for every name they've ever owned. Not to control them, but to release them, and, well. How could they possibly refuse?

The owl, however, conveniently left out one little problem in his own personal isekai adventure: he has to start it locked in a tower, with an impossible enchantment to undo, in the name of training, with nothing but a sentient book and extremely toothy fish for company.

This might be a problem, but problems are only possibilities, and he sees this as a possibility to become the absolute reigning king of procrastination.

 

a/n: this is a bit short! Only 25k words, I wrote it in four days with minimal editing, so it's a bit too small for any contests, if I'm correct about the word count limit. It might read a little funny, since the main character doesn't choose a new name until the very end, so consider this a bit of a prologue to the opening act.
