Author's Description
When Piper Jones is recruited to the Ark, a research facility focused on studying the godstorms that nearly destroyed civilization, she expects to be a gardener. Instead, a routine test reveals that she has the rare ability to bond with the void angels who fight the godstorms--and a unique ability to speak with those she hasn't bonded. When a surprise attack takes down the defenses of the Ark, it's up to Piper and her angels to fight off enemies determined to make sure humanity falls at last.
Why I Chose it
Lots of worldbuilding going on from the description, and none of it involves vampires or werewolves so I'm on board. Plus, in the first episode we're following a character who really is an outcast and is working hard to survive in interesting ways.
(The cover made me think this was more YA than the writing feels. It's possible they line up better at some point, but I think the cover is doing this story no favors.)
[30 episodes so far, with 5 updates in the last 30 days.]

Unrelated Griping
In the last few decades I've been part of maybe six or seven fiction workshops / critique groups. In half of those, there was some sullen white dude churning out plotless "stories" that were either from the point of view of a serial killer slicing up some woman, or the point of view of some hapless white dude who loses his shit on the last page and kills everyone in a hail of bullets.
Those guys are also putting up stories on Vella -- but only one or two episodes because they want someone to point out how special they are and the stories are just lost in the noise of all the other two-episode abandoned stories on the platform.
If you search long enough, you, too, could find a bunch of those things. I don't recommend it.
