Elise Savoy thought dropping Yale University would be the hardest part of her teen years-until her mind became the real battleground. After her mother's tragic death, 19-year-old Elise is drowning in grief and unraveling at the seams. Haunted by vivid psychotic episodes, she returns to her family's decaying home in another country, hoping the quiet will mend what's broken. But the house holds more than dusty memories and fading photographs. There's something lurking in the corners of her mind and maybe in the woods beyond the porch. As fragments of forgotten memories resurface, Elise begins to question what's real. The more she digs, the more reality slips through her fingers. Is she losing herself to grief and madness? Or is there something hidden in her past that's been waiting to be found? Sometimes, the only way to find the truth is to let it find you. .·:*¨ ¨*:·.⚘☘〄☘⚘.·:*¨ ¨*:·.

Fame, fortune, and millions of followers can disappear as quickly as they come, especially in an era where getting ''cancelled'' is just one viral scandal away. Hollywood's former golden boy, Finnegan Braxton, knows this all too well. Once a beloved teenage heartthrob, he's now branded as a notorious player, arrogant, and a lying cheat. With his career hanging by a thread, his PR team scrambles to salvage his image. Their solution? A reality dating show where Finnegan must prove he's not the heart-breaker the world thinks he is, but a man searching for true love. Everything takes a turn when Finnegan crosses paths with Aurelia Winslow - a recently fired librarian - who is unimpressed by him. After their public altercation goes viral, she's thrown into the contest. For Finnegan, it's a chance to rebuild his reputation. For Aurelia, it's merely a paycheck. Will Finnegan face the truth and reclaim his integrity, or will the spotlight expose him for good? Can he prove he's more than just a tabloid scandal, or will this love experiment be the final nail in his Hollywood coffin? ★| ★ | ★ | ★ |★ | ★ | ★| ★ | ★ | ★ |★ Open Novella Contest - main prompt 31, secondary prompts 126,128 130. © 2025 minsari // all rights reserved

Undiscovered writers unite in friendly competition on the enchanted world of Unification, where they receive support and opportunities to grow as writers as they continue their majestic careers--to prove that they are just as important as their Discovered peers. *** The world of Literature is confusing. A group of writers, the Undiscovered, are shunned by their Discovered peers, leading to frustration and conflict with their craft. Ready to prove that they're just as important as the Discovered, the Undiscovered leave the safety of Literature and begin exploring other opportunities for them to attempt, leading to a planet called Unification. There, they meet two eager readers ready to share their stories with the universe and give them the recognition they deserve--a place in the Discovered Circle on Literature. As the Undiscovered learn new tips and tricks about Literature, they will create new friendships and discover that to be a good writer, they must be themselves. The two readers hope to achieve this through Unification with this unknown, beautiful population. Welcome to Unification. *** *Join my friend and I for an opportunity to gain recognition for your hard work! Any story and genre is welcome here, and we are so excited to help Wattpad's hidden gems!* *Let's start the new year with a bang!* *Note: This is my first time hosting an award, so I ask for patience and cooperation.*
