Glicth Stories

(HeartSync Files #1) Pending. That's what the HeartSync beta tester app called it when Aria Soleil Tan accidentally got matched with Sebastian Caelum Vale, the campus basketball star, shameless charmer, and the absolute last person she thought she'd be stuck with. The glitch would've been bad enough, turning their pending status (and private chats) into the campus' newest meme material. But when their Media Comms II professor pairs them for a semester-long project, Sol realizes Seb isn't just in her notifications. He's in her group calls, her calendar, and her head. Now, every meeting, every edit session, every joke that lingers a little too long is happening under the entire school's watch. And somewhere between deadlines and distractions, "pending" starts to feel less and less temporary.

Woke up in my own story #WITWContest Alex is a writer. Or, he was. Now, he's woken up inside his own fantasy novel, "The Crimson Crown". But this story he wrote is not yet completed. He's trapped in the body of Finn, a throwaway character scheduled for a gruesome death in Chapter Three. The problem? He survives. The meticulously crafted plot is in shambles. The hero who is supposed to save the day arrives too early and is effortlessly defeated. A journey that should take months is over in days. The world Alex built is being twisted into a nightmarish version of itself, corrupted by a will that is not his own. The editor of this chaotic new draft is none other than his own creation: the Shadow King. The villain of the story has grown tired of his predetermined fate and has decided to rewrite the narrative into something far more chaotic and interesting. But the Shadow King is more than just a character; he's the manifestation of every dark, frustrated, and cynical impulse Alex poured into his work. He offers Alex a choice: fade into the background as a forgotten side character, or take his hand and become a co-author of the apocalypse. What happens when a story takes on a life of its own? And what choice do you have when your own villain claims he's just fulfilling your deepest, darkest desires?
