A possible future in less than 500 words, if plastic wins. This was my entry for the WattPad/National Geographic #PlanetOrPlastic competition back in late 2018. It reached their Top 10 Submissions which, given that there appeared to be well over 5000 entries, was a very pleasant surprise! The competition itself had a limit of 500 words so, for those who keep asking if I intend continuing the story, the answer (for now!) is no - unless I can find a very good reason for adding any more. Many thanks to everyone reading and voting on this story and getting it to number 1 in the #sciencefiction category in May/June 2020! I did try to thank the voters individually on their pages but Wattpad have a daily limit on the number of times I'm allowed to do that and there are now too many of you (not that I'm complaining)!

Rumors abound of experiments for creating the perfect soldiers, excavations for ancient relics, and the hoarding of fuel and supplies - deadly weapons included. Twenty strangers - the Elemorts to-be - from twenty different home planets visit Karomoz, each with their own reasons and motivations, and each armed with a unique elemental power. Once on Karomoz, their fates get intertwined in unlikely ways, and two factions are formed, locked in an ongoing battle for what each side believes in - a battle not of good versus evil but one of gray versus gray. *FEATURED ON WATTPAD SCIENCEFICTION'S "HIDDEN GEMS FROM WATTPAD OUTREACH" READING LIST* *FEATURED ON WATTPAD BEYONDSOL'S "SUNFLOWER SPACE OPERAS" READING LIST* *FIRST PLACE IN SCIENCE FICTION IN THE 2018 TALENT AWARDS* *COVER BY @shelbychdance* If you are reading this story on any platform other than Wattpad, you are very likely to be at risk for a malware attack.

"Being a rival sucks. Especially when you're the center of everyone's hatred." Gael Fallon is a well-known rival or villainess due to her aloof and cold personality unlike her energetic and friendly twin sister, Maevis Fallon, the so-called heroine. Number one assassin in her previous world. Pretty. Intelligent. Talented. Famous. But being the center of everyone's discrimination and hatred sucks. For Gael, she just wants a normal life. One day, Gael died and got reincarnated as a mob character named Amber Trinity Scarlette. Her wish for a peaceful life did came true as her character isn't important in the story. Yay. But unbeknownst to Gael, she is an anomaly that will change the life of every character in the story. (Following pic aren't mine. Slow update.)

Unfortunately, it turns out that Addie reincarnated as the villainess of the story, Serena Disenfald, who, in all the endings gets killed in a variety of gruesome ways. Ehhh? I'm the villainess?

Our main character has reincarnated...but with a catch? Instead of any of the tropes she could have reincarnate as, she reincarnated as both the villainess and heroine!? Despite having only a single consciousness, she is aware and in control of both bodies! Controlling two bodies with completely opposite roles as only a single individual, how will our dear protagonist handle a world designed to both adore her as the heroine and hate her as the villainess at the same time?
