''[[Troper Works/Planet Of Fate|Planet Ofof Fate]]'' is a work-in-progress sci-fi-fantasy short novel being authored by [[Tropers/SWJS|SWJS]]. The author, after [[Retcon|retconning]] some of the material and restarting, is on chapter one at the moment, and all chapters, once finished, will be viewable on the author's deviantart account: httphttps://swjswww.deviantart.com/swjs/gallery/#Planet-of-Fate?catpath=/ The project started c. 2009 and iswas still ongoing. as of 2018.
 
[[Troper Works/''Planet Of Fate|Planet Ofof Fate]]'', often shortened to ''POF'', is about a race of aliens called Anubians, and their struggles throughout a period of time. The novel starts off with the main characters parents, out and about in the city, enjoying their anniversary. They are, however, soon killed by an explosion while at dinner. Once he receives the news, their son and daughter, Sarko and Sally respectively, go through emotional unstabilityinstability, and both go down different paths. Sarko's path will end up leading him to discover that his parents' deaths weren't accidents, and that there is much more going on around him than he is able to see. The novel follows not only Sarko, but his sister, his peers, and his people throughout the many events of significance and hardships they all encounter, with the story being told from other points of view, as well as some minor characters.
 
Many other works inspired several details for things in the novel, including ''[[Star Wars]]'', ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'', ''[[He-Man and the Masters of the Universe|He Man and The Masters of The Universe]]'', and even some Disney films, including ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]''. [[TV Tropes]] itself has also been very inspirational and helpful while writing Planet of Fate. However, the most influencialinfluential work for POF was ''[[Destroy All Humans!]]!'', as the characters were originally Fan Characters, before SWJS and Nukawin decided to get their ideas protected.
 
Originally, the characters of ''POF'' were part of a comic called Alienz, authored by SWJS and illustrated by [https://web.archive.org/web/20111204214129/http://nukawin.deviantart.com/ Nukawin]. After economic problems arised, SWJS and Nukawin went their seperate ways, and SWJS began writing Planet of Fate, while Nukawin continued with Alienz. Nukawin has since cancelled Alienz, to pursue a career in taxidermy.
 
''POF'' once rarely used descriptive imagery, one reason being most of the characters were drawn when they were part of Alienz, and another reason was because SWJS wanted the readers to invision his creations for themselves, instead of just going with what he wanted them to be. However, due to the many retcons and changes to the novel, it will now feature descriptive imagery.

* [[AIA.I. Is a Crapshoot]]: D.A.N., the navigational AI for Sarko's flagship.
* [[Alien Animals]]: Played straight with the Schritt, a ''fur-covered'' snake. Most creatures in POF have some similarities to Earth life though.
* [[Alien Invasion]]: Infiltration type.
* [[Alien Sky]]: Played straight on Anubia. The sky is a lavender color.
* [[Aliens Speaking English]]: Justified. If the entire book was written in the Anubian language, no one would be able to read it.

* [[Artificial Gravity]]
Line 41:
* [[Energy Weapon]]
* [[Escape Pod]]
* [[ET Gave Us Wi -Fi]]: The A.P.I.'s weapons are reverse-engineered Anubian Tech, but more-so, it turns out all the modern-day music stars got their songs from transmissions picked up from Anubia. [[Beethoven Was an Alien Spy|Elvis was an actual Anubian though.]]
