Just another day in suburbia becomes a living nightmare, as a young man and his family are to take refuge from the nuclear war engulfing the planet. Better prepared than most, and with a bunker to protect them, the family must struggle to understand this new world they have inherited. Relationships will be strained to the breaking point, but perhaps out of the ashes of the old world something beautiful may grow. Thrust is a story about the relations between one man, his parents, and two teenage sisters in a survival situation. Once the top-ranked story on CHYOA's sister site, Thrust's features include: . >>> Choices that matter. Will you be a good or evil survivor? Enjoy countless branching threads. . >>> Over 1600 unique chapters that will keep you entertained for hours. . >>> Contributors that include some of this site's top writers. . >>> Staying power. Do you hate it when your favorite stories are abandoned? Thrust is going on two decades old at this point, and still going strong, with new chapters being added all the time. Welcome to the apocalypse... Welcome to the world of Thrust

The idea is simple. This will be a collection of stories with one common theme: there will be a family of any variety, the family will have a mother, and that mother will go through some manner of transformation or change. It can be of virtually any variety, from simple expansion to changing species, from bimbofication to ascension into godhood. The mother could be the main character, or some other member of the family could deal with the results of their matriarch's situation. Changes can even spread to other members of the family, though the mother will always be either the center or the catalyst of such changes. A writer could come up with a specific reason for the transformation, or it could be entirely random. As long as it fits within the rules of the website, basically anything goes.

PLEASE ADD CHAPTERS! A close friend or family member is horribly injured in an accident. As they lay dying in the emergency room, another patient dies of a brain aneurysm. Both of them are organ donors, so a surgeon decides it's the perfect opportunity for him to try an experimental surgery. He transplants the victim's higher brain (the cerebellum) to the donor's body in an attempt to 'save' a life. Amazingly it works. But the surgery was not approved so the hospital convinces the families to keep quiet, arguing that revealing this operation to the public would bring never-ending media attention to all involved. That means that the patient will have to publicly assume the identity of the donor. What will this mean to your friends and family? Who else will you tell? Although you will spend a lot of time and effort giving support, how will all this alter your relationship to the patient? And how will he or she adapt to a complete change of body and identity? Many transformation stories focus on the change or victim, so I thought it would be interesting to instead have the POV be someone who sees the change from the outside. Writers feel free to explore a change in age, gender, class or ethnicity - and the repercussions that change would have on the main character (and others).

You awoke on the day of the planetary alignment, and without any knowledge of what happened the world has changed and you are the only one who can tell. What you find attractive has become the standard, and you have been reborn to take advantage of it to the fullest.

You are an individual who is given a rare gift, the ability to subtly influence those around you. However, this price comes at a cost, each use will eat away at your very soul...
