Wokeupinmyownstory Stories

WITW Contest Entry - Prompt: Woke up in my own story. "Be careful what you wish for" Haven't I heard this phrase a million times? Wasn't it quite a cliché to wait for an admission letter to a magic school, wake up as a teenager and suddenly discover magical powers or have your life turned upside down upon finding out your true identity is of a royal descendant of a cute and mysterious country? We have all wanted to wake up as a character in the stories that enchanted us. We wanted so desperately to wake up in fictional stories and escape our reality. That's what I used to wish for as well, until I found myself waking up in one. I woke up in a story I wrote 15 years back, when I was a teenager. No, it wasn't a fanfiction; I was not cool enough to write one. I woke up in a story I wrote about vampires!

Bethany Yanger was just an amateur writer who always enjoyed writing when she was younger but at the age of twenty everything seemed to have slowed down for her but no enough to let her write everything she wants to only to watch her life and imagination slowly slip away as depression sinks in. She can write for most of her fanfictions but never the story she wants the most

Fairytales aren't stories-they're traps. She wrote the stories. Now she's stuck in them. The sweetest world tastes like ink and screams." "Every page opens to madness. How do you escape a book that wants to finish you? The walls weren't walls. They were paintings that breathed." When Kantha wakes up in a world made of paper and ink, she realizes she's trapped inside her own childhood stories-where the rules bend, the doors lead to anywhere, and the monsters she once doodled are very, very real. From toothless Gretel in a gingerbread graveyard to a jello mermaid singing above scissor sharks, every page turns into a nightmare fairytale. Her only hope? Find the prince. Kiss him. Escape. But when the world starts collapsing, Kath learns the darkest twist of all: You can't outrun the stories you wrote. A surreal descent through fairytales gone feral. Whimsical. Terrifying. And one kiss away from disaster.

"She thought her life was over-until a golden light carried her to a place alive with magic. There, the villain she once feared becomes the one who protects her heart... if only reality would let it last."

"She wasn't just my character anymore. Her scars became mine. And I woke up inside her story." ✍️📖✨

Everything was just fine until something happened that shouldn't happen. Ava woke up in her own story as Arya who's two friends died at the end of the book. They were still alive when Ava went inside the book and as she is the writer, she knows who is the murderer. But the problem is the murderer is already dead. Then? Nothing is going to happen right? But what if the story continues as it was written? (Used the trope 'Woke up in my own story')

This is my official entry for the #WITWContest with the chosen trope: Woke Up in My Own Story. Elena Marlowe, trapped inside her own thriller, decides to save the villain she created, Adrian Cross, from a murder accusation and rewrite his fate.

Morgan had a good life-until she didn't. Then she woke up in the garden. And everything changed. #WITWContest

I thought I was just entering a Wattpad contest. I didn't expect to enter my own story. One moment, I hit publish. The next, I woke up inside the body of Kaelith-the demon villain I created. Bound by his emotions, haunted by his secrets, I discovered he isn't as evil as I thought... and that something far darker lives within him. Now, the line between author and character is gone. And fate is no longer just a story-it's a fight for love, freedom, and survival. One story. One click. A world undone.

This is a story that uses ALL of the tropes suggested for the 'What in the Wattpad' competition. I hope it's also quite amusing.

One moment, I was staring at my laptop screen. The next, I woke up inside the world I had written. But the characters aren't grateful to meet me. They're furious. Every heartbreak, every scar, every death I ever gave them they remember And now, they want me to suffer the story the way they did. I thought I created the nightmare. Turns out, I just wrote myself into it.

I woke up in a tavern I'd written for Chapter 4 of my Wattpad story. The problem? I wasn't supposed to be there. Now my brooding main character thinks I'm the heroine, my glamorous villain wants me to rewrite her ending, and the plot is unraveling like a badly written fanfic. Somehow, I have to survive medieval assassins, the One Bed Trope™, and the terrifying possibility that I might not be the real author after all. Because in this world, stories don't just happen... they fight back.

I woke up in the middle of a forest I knew too well - because I wrote it. Every twisted tree, every stone, every path... I'd created them. But the world I built wasn't the same. My hero wasn't a hero anymore, my words had turned to lies and the characters I once controlled were now hunting me. This isn't my story anymore. It's theirs. And they want an ending.
