At nineteen, Sabrina Styles has spent most of her life watching the spotlight shine on her older brother, Harry Styles. While she's proud of him, she's tired of being known as "Harry's little sister." Funny but shy, Sabrina hides behind humor when the world gets too loud-but deep down, she dreams of standing on stage herself, singing songs that tell her story. When an unexpected opportunity opens for Sabrina to join Harry's international tour as an opening act, she jumps at the chance, determined to prove she's more than a famous last name. Between the chaos of rehearsals, interviews, and fangirls who either adore or despise her, Sabrina quickly realizes that life on tour isn't just glitter and applause-it's exhausting, emotional, and full of surprises. One of those surprises comes in the form of Joshua Bassett, a rising young singer-songwriter who's joining the same tour. He's charming, talented, and has an uncanny ability to see past Sabrina's nerves and into the girl who just wants to find her own voice. What starts as friendly banter backstage turns into late-night jam sessions, inside jokes, and undeniable chemistry that leaves Sabrina questioning everything she thought she knew about love, fame, and herself. As the tour moves from city to city, Sabrina faces pressure from the public, the industry, and even her own insecurities. Can she step out of Harry's shadow without losing herself in the process? Can she trust her heart when falling for someone under the same spotlight could change everything? Backstage Hearts is a coming-of-age romantic dramedy about finding confidence, chasing dreams, and learning that the music of life isn't always perfect in tune-but it's always worth singing.

Diana Middleton is a cold, calculating centibillionaire tech and fashion mogul whose corporate empire dictates the pulse of the global economy. To the world, they are an untouchable, high-flying power couple residing in a multi-million-dollar London penthouse, navigating a universe of screaming fans, invasive paparazzi, and relentless media scrutiny. But behind closed doors, away from the stadium lights and the quarterly earnings reports, their real battleground is domestic: raising 7 chaotic, high-energy children-Trevor, Liam, Jennifer, Charlotte, Louis and twins Alyssa and Harry -while keeping their family grounded against the crushing weight of their own monumental fame.

In 2008, the last thing anyone expected to see inside Roc-A-Fella Records was a shy, small-town Canadian girl with an acoustic guitar. But when Carly Rae Jepsen walks into Kanye West's studio with nothing but her voice and a notebook full of heartbreak, everything changes. Kanye hears something raw, something that doesn't fit, but feels. He signs her on the spot, making her the label's first pop act in a world built on 808s and ego. Thrown into the chaos of New York's late-2000s hip-hop scene, Carly learns fast: genius comes with pressure, and fame comes with a price. Between studio sessions, long nights, and trying to hold onto herself, she finds comfort in someone unexpected, Scott Mescudi, a rising producer and rapper everyone's just starting to call Kid Cudi. Together, they turn late-night beats and broken dreams into something that sounds like healing. But love is tricky in a world built on power, and as the music gets louder, Carly has to decide what kind of artist, and woman she's brave enough to be.

Growing up in the spotlight is hard. Growing up in 2016 as Ivy Marjorie Swift? Nearly impossible. At ten years old, Ivy Swift's world is a whirlwind of private jets, backstage passes, and an endless trail of flashbulbs. To the rest of the world, her mother Taylor is an unstoppable pop icon at the absolute peak of her career. But to Ivy, she's just Mom-the person who sings her to sleep, bakes late-night cookies, and teaches her how to write down her feelings when the noise outside gets too loud. When summer arrives, Ivy is dropped into a whole new world: a quiet beach town far away from the stadium crowds. There, she builds a tight-knit circle of friends who don't care about red carpets or famous last names. Among them are Ethan, the quiet boy who always shares his sketchbook; Madison, her ride-or-die partner in crime; and a ragtag crew of kids-Jackson, Leo, Tara, Chloe, Henry, and Fiona-who just want to spend their days riding bikes, exploring coastal trails, and causing harmless trouble. But as the media storm around her mother grows sharper and louder, Ivy realizes that keeping her childhood normal is going to take more than just secret hideouts and pinky promises. A story about friendship, protecting the people you love, and finding your own voice when the whole world is listening. - I only own my original characters, and the original story

Four Asian-American performers are recruited for an "American K-Pop Group" visualized by their matching opera gloves. Bonded by their love of music and love for each other, they navigate the toxic stress of the music industry and attempt to take control of their own career. Some adult themes, adult language, content and sexuality. Nothing overtly graphic, but I'd give it a PG-13 rating. A special shoutout to Crissey-Cute who did the amazing artwork (not AI) and acted as this story's K-Pop expert.

"I don't know how to love you and be him." "Then don't. Just... promise me something." Yuri never meant to fall for him. He was just Jungkook - 25, exhausted, and hiding from the weight of the world in a club in Itaewon. She was just Yuri - 29, guarded, and done believing in anything that felt like fate. One kiss.

The Public Saw a Feud. The Truth Was a War. In the neon-drenched, high-stakes landscape of 1984, the music industry has decided there is only room for one icon. Michael, the world's polished, golden-voiced King, and Prince, the enigmatic, funk-driven rebel, are forced into a bitter, media-manufactured rivalry. As the press feasts on their scripted hatred, the two icons are thrust into a claustrophobic dance of sabotage, obsession, and clandestine sanctuary. But as the lines between their performative warfare and private reality begin to fray, they discover a dangerous truth: the hate they perform for the cameras is the only language left for a love they aren't allowed to have. From the damp silence of a Minneapolis basement to the shattering pressure of global superstardom, Crowns & Chords is a raw, psychological slow-burn about two men tearing down their own pedestals. In a world of puppets and strings, they will have to decide what is worth more: the crowns they were handed, or the chords they wrote in the dark. One feud. Two lives. No exit.

"The cameras...they're always watching." "Then we'd better give them something to look at."

Los Angeles, 1978. By twenty years old, April Bellamy already understands how the entertainment industry works. She knows how quickly talent becomes a commodity. How easily ambition can be mistaken for worth. How often people are rewarded for performing versions of themselves that have little to do with who they actually are. When her career brings her into the orbit of Michael Jackson, she expects another industry friendship-pleasant, temporary, and ultimately transactional. Instead, she finds someone who understands. Their friendship grows in recording studios, family kitchens, Hollywood parties, darkrooms, late-night phone calls, and long drives through Los Angeles. Beneath the glamour, success, and spectacle, both are struggling with the same question: what remains of a person when their image belongs to everyone else? While the world watches a star being manufactured in real time, April witnesses the private cost of perfection, the labor hidden behind performance, and the loneliness that can exist inside extraordinary success. At the same time, she finds herself confronting her own history, her family, and the role she's been playing for so long she no longer knows where the performance ends. When the Lights Go Out is a coming-of-age story about friendship, identity, exploitation, and survival in an industry built on consumption. It is a portrait of two young people trying to remain human while the world turns them into something else.
