[close] NOMINATIONS ARE CLOSED. THANKS TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED!! We're a group building a reliable bookshelf-database of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror books that do NOT mention sexual violence or dubious sexual consent. We're inspired by Sarah Gailey's essay urging authors to "Do Better" https://www.tor.com/2016/08/22/do-better-sexual-violence-in-sff/ Join our long term project by sharing your recent reads in our monthly chat. Once a month we update the bookshelf database but recommendations are welcome everyday of the year!

[close] Edanton is thriving as usual. At least in the rich city area. EvrTech has announced they'll be releasing a new series of cybernetics celebrating their 30th anniversary of coming to Edanton. However, there's a bit of unrest as rumors of people going missing. At first people have turned a blind eye. After all, who cared about normal humans going missing from the slums? But then people from the city as well have disappeared. Blaming the gangs, the Elite have begun to crack down on them. Gangs and normal humans have begun to resist. What will happen to Edanton? Will it fall into civil war? What happened to those missing people? Will you be the one to find out? This group will involve adult topics like violence, drug use/abuse, etc. **This rp will be semi-advanced, which means your character, and sometimes your writing, will be subjected to constructive criticism.
