Welcome to Mystery's December engagement project!
Now that we're closing in to the end of the year, your task is to help us find the best mysteries and thrillers of 2018. Selected stories will be recommended to our readers and featured in a brand new reading list!
We are searching for stories that fall under any ONE of the following themes. For instance, theme #1 requires mystery stories with a crime involved. So if you've written a caper mystery or have read a good caper mystery on Wattpad, let us know in the comment section below!
#1
CAPERS
Mysteries/thrillers that involve crime, such as swindles or theft, done by the main characters in full view of the reader.
#2
FANFICTION
Mysteries/thrillers that have a secondary genre in fanfiction, be it real-person fiction or borrowing worlds and characters from other fiction.
#3
PSYCHOLOGICAL
Mysteries/thrillers that focus on the psychological states of its characters, often with elements of drama, action and paranoia.
