In the tranquil waters of Hawai'i, Hokulani and Nikau wonder if it's possible for a song to go on forever. ***** For as long as Hokulani can remember, she's always felt like she's treading water. Everything she loves becomes a means to escape from what's happening around her or, worse, the unsteadiness of her mind. She even finds her passion for music slipping through her grasp, though she tries her best not to completely let that go. And even though the arrival of an up-and-coming musician from Aotearoa causes waves, she's unable to fully enjoy her life. Unable to release that breath she feels like she's been holding onto ever since her father passed away. When her family is hit with complicated news, the Kahananui woman must make difficult decisions for themselves, including one Hokulani isn't sure she fully understands. But even when their choices are made, they bring up memories they've all been trying their best to forget, forcing them to face the reality deep inside the family's hearts. Hokulani takes refuge in the comfort her shared feelings with Nikau bring, but just because she wants something, doesn't mean it's enough. She knows she has a lot to work through on her own, and with the understanding that his year on the island will eventually come to an end, the two of them spend endless nights wondering if they can somehow make a song go on forever. ***** 2025 AMBYS GRAND FAVORITE | contemporary 2025 ASTANIA AWARDS FIRST PLACE WINNER | wild card » featured on @wattpad @romance @ContemporaryLit @SocialThemes and @Ambassadors « All rights reserved © Stephanie Midorii, smidorii

ONC 2026, Prompt 78: You begin to realize that nothing is quite what it seems ONGOING! Couture Magazine: the most prestigious fashion publication in the world, where hemlines are sacred, deadlines are deadly, and the coffee runs are... surprisingly literal. Every intern who walks through those gleaming Manhattan doors dreams of landing a full-time position-complete with vision, dental (including twice-yearly cleanings), and an endless supply of designer clothes fresh off the runway. Sure, the demands from editors, photographers, and even the notoriously temperamental writers can be exhausting. But an intern's day at Couture is pretty ordinary, right? WRONG. Alcide Lancaster is about to discover that his summer internship working for the iconic-yet-terrifying Ellen Montclaire comes with a few... unexpected job requirements. Like why he and a select few employees-including the formidable Editor-in-Chief herself-are the only ones taking mandatory two-hour lunch breaks. Why his thirty-to-fifty-something coworkers look suspiciously athletic, eerily youthful, and are borderline obsessed with eyewear that definitely isn't just a fashion statement. And why A-list celebrities who stop by the Couture offices seem less interested in the magazine's latest cover shoot and oddly fascinated with Alcide himself. But most importantly... What does any of this have to do with Alcide's late family, their disturbingly narrow worldview, and the real reason they wanted him out of their lives forever? All excellent questions for a young man trying to survive a summer packed with Fashion Week chaos, superpowered coworkers who treat the office like their personal runway, and a boss who's less Anna Wintour and more fierce-but-loving grandmother. Between navigating new friendships, an unexpected romance, and enough secrets to fill an entire September issue, Alcide is about to learn that in the world of high fashion... Not everything is just an illusion.

The Riverbend wasn't a regular town that you could find on a map. No, it was a town that was terrifying to your soul. It was a cursed, demonic, magical town line that only people chosen by the devil can cross. The town was originally casted by angels, but was ruined by the devil and his prada. Remedy Hart was a normal 20 year old who's forced to go on a road trip with her twin brother and their friends. Riding all over the place made Remedy nervous, but almost running over a deer and crashing just caused her great superstition. They're forced to travel through a town that weirdly appeared from nowhere in hopes of instructions for help. Instead - they're face to face with frights and murder straight from the fiery gropes of Hell.

Maybe it's what killed them in the end. copyright misstanzas 2014 #tgtg #weneeddiversebooks

This is a story that I am currently working on, and though it may be slow it is something I am proud of and 100% believe. I have yet to read a book and relate with the main characters. And everytime i turn the page, i don't understand. I don't understand a whole family, a lawyer mother. I don't understand a stay at home mom, a perfect sibling. I can't relate to the lil white girl with the perfect body. I hate that the 'slut' is always a cheerleader with big breasts and lots of makeup. I want a story full of diversity. Where makeup or lack of is not judged, where food is discussed, where body positivity and gay rights are brought up, where racial issues, immigration points and foreign exchanges are brought to light I was a story Full of relatable points, so here is my attempt, meet Lei; a girl named diversity.
