❧ Whispering Waves Award ❦ Where stories flow like the ocean, and every voice echoes loud. This is more than just a Wattpad award - it's a celebration of storytelling, creativity, and connection. With the calm of the waves and the thrill of the tide, we spotlight the works that stir emotions, spark curiosity, and leave a lasting ripple.

In the cold halls of Castle Dimitrescu, screams are common, blood is plentiful, and fear is the currency of survival. But for one new maid, fate takes a different turn. When Lady Dimitrescu sets her golden eyes upon her, she does not see prey she sees beauty, refinement, and something she cannot bring herself to consume. Instead of blood, she craves devotion. Instead of feeding, she longs to claim. What begins as a dangerous infatuation grows into a romance as dark and intoxicating as the wine flowing through the castle's cellars. The maid becomes not a victim, but a lover, a secret treasure hidden in the Lady's chambers. Yet love with a monster is never simple... and the line between adoration and possession is as sharp as Lady Dimitrescu's claws.

To keep myself from losing track of: all the 2025 contests I've entered, all the 2025 contests I've volunteered myself as a judge (or let myself be volun-told into judging), all the 2025 books I've had to read as a contestant or as a judge, all the 2025 deadlines, and all the other important stuff, here is a book that registers all these 2025 things in a somewhat organized fashion. With occasional commentary. Nota bene: Although other people are welcome to browse my public contest logs and look for contests, look for information about details of contests (i.e. you want me to pour you some tea), etc, these contest logs are primarily for my own use. I enter so many contests that I can't keep track of them without a log. I forget important details, too, including things like "Note to self: You do not get along with this contest host, best not participate in their contests." Like my 2024 contest log, this was never meant to be an "expose" book. I'm not exposing anybody. Contests are matters of public record, as are any comments made in the contest books. I'm just a ditz who needs a written log to keep track of everything. I would lose my head if it wasn't attached to my shoulders. I DO NOT CONSENT TO MY POETRY AND PROSE BEING USED TO TRAIN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Brooklyn Baker wants to see the world and get away from the sunflower farm in Kansas where she was born and raised. With her girl-next-door good looks she enters a modeling contest, a reality show really. Ten men and ten women are paired up to compete for a lucrative modeling contract. Ryland Chase Adler wasn't raised in a loving happy family and right now he needs money. With his movie star good looks, Chase intends to win the modeling contract. In his effort to hide his anxiety and other secrets from the cameras, Chase comes off as aloof. He gets unexpectedly distracted by sweet innocent Brooklyn. She is unlike anyone he's ever known from his harsh childhood neighborhood. Her touch calms his anxiety like he didn't know was possible. Too bad she has a possessive boyfriend. Please don't copy any part of my story in any form (including Youtube) without my permission. I do not own any of the pictures, they are clipped from the internet. I read all comments. And appreciate your suggestions and/or corrections.

HEYYYYYYYY BFDI AU ALERT WEEOOOWEEOOOWEEOOO !! READ NOW TO GET A FREE TWO PLUSHIE (totally legit totally not scamming you to get you to read the story /silly) __________________________________________________________________________________ After rather painful slumber, thirty people wake up to find themselves labeled as "experiments" by intimidating individuals, treated like animals, and no memory of their old lives. While in a strange facility, the "experiments" soon realize that they are being tested with some sort of competition to find out who's the strongest of them all. They realize that if you fail to complete a challenge, you're destined for death's embrace. Seeking escape, all thirty "experiments" try to work with each other to find a way out and be free once and for all and regain their lost memories. Question is, will they manage to accomplish their goal, or be trapped---dead or alive---forever? __________________________________________________________________________________ NOTE (please read this): -This AU is mainly inspired by @miraarosexx's story, "Down The Hall." I highly recommend you go read that story, it's amazing lmao. -The characters are humanized. -This AU will contain gore and other triggering stuff. -All the characters that are listed as "experiments" (aka the BFDI cast) are owned by jacknjellify, not me. Like I said, this is an AU. -I'm not that experienced in writing, so at times my grammar may be off, and my spelling may suck. My apologies in advance. Enjoy :) -talkjokerhero

It is easy to worship the idols who glitter like gods. On stage they look untouchable, holy, eternal. I was never one of them. I was the girl in the back row, invisible. The kind you scroll past without noticing. Then one livestream mistake turned me into a meme. A meme into a trend. A trend into someone who caught the eye of the boy they call a saint - the boy with the perfect smile and the sins no camera can hide. Now millions adore me. They edit my face, ship my name, flood me with hearts until I almost believe I belong. Almost. But filters crack. Fame rots. And love, in their world, is never innocent. Because saints fall. And girls like me never rise with them. We shatter before we hit the ground.
