[Editors' Choice 2020] In a near-future, post-apocalyptic world, a lone girl must choose between becoming the next-in-line to head a corrupt government or siding with those who wish to see the world burn. Order, suppression and lies, or chaos, truth and freedom? Whatever is chosen, one thing is clear: both sides bleed. ***** Every year, the Federated United Americas tasks its elite soldiers to participate in a nation-wide Cull. Hundreds of children are taken from homes and put into one of three Facilities. While most of them will be offered comfortable lives in the forms of low-ranking government jobs and militia commandos, a few will be groomed to be the successors for the highest office the FUA has to offer: The Council. Beckett Blake is known in the Facility as Ten, and she alongside six others branded 'Liars', have spent years enduring confinement and rigorous testing in order to secure a future as head of the FUA. When a terrorist group breaks into the Facility and kidnaps Ten and the others, she's forced to re-examine her future plans. Required to become a drug runner in the mega-city known as Neon Brights, Ten must decide if the future she'd been promised since childhood is worth the lies it's built upon. Will Ten choose the future that's been decided for her, or will she carve out one all her own, even if that path leads to her destruction? Cover by @eosophobias

35 parts Complete Mature
Niall is the new kid in town and he's attending his 2nd year of high school in Redditch, London. He was kicked out of his previous school due to um...well...he had a interesting nickname called 'The Irish prostitute'. He was caught too many times, so his mom thought that a different location would mean that her son would just stop sucking other boy's or men's (yes, he was after the teachers too) dick and having sex with them. But boy was she wrong! The new school knew that Niall was coming and they were quick to learn about his past reputation at his former high school. Most of the kids were riled up and excited upon Niall's arrival. Some just didn't listen or weren't there to hear of the sudden new kid (Because they didn't give a single fuck). Then were some kids that didn't care for Niall at all. Now when Niall shows up, he starts to look for his first "customer" and when he sees four hot ass men walking towards the cafeteria, his eyes light up and his feet moved fast so that he could reach the mysterious men. Harry Edward Styles, Louis William Tomlinson, Zayn Javadd Malik, and Liam James Payne are the biggest troublemakers and are known for their badass personality. They are in a relationship together, so that's another reason as to why it's best to not mess with them. Now will Niall succeed at having fun with these four badass and hot ass men, or will he be able to call them his bad boys? Or will he get beaten for even thinking of doing either? Find out!

17-almost-18-year-old Ezra Thompson is tired of two things. First, is constant chatter about Dilemma, an all-boy rock band, led by the supposedly-dreamy frontman Andre Robinson that somehow has a universal grip on every teenager in the world. Personally, Ezra doesn't see the appeal. Second, being in the shadow of her more smart, successful, and popular twin brother Emmet. Ezra couldn't ask for a better life. The thing is, Ezra, can sing. Like really sing. Only her parents who are occasionally proud of her, treat it as a juvenile hobby and she could never sing in front of people. So for now, her shampoo bottles get front-row access to her once-a-night concert in the shower. But when Ezra's younger sister, Maria, signs her up for a singing reality show called Finding Solstice, she is both angry and grateful. To her surprise, she passes the audition and is invited to Los Angeles for the show. Suddenly immersed in the cutthroat music industry, Ezra faces a whirlwind competition against fame-hungry singers, all fighting tooth and nail for the same prize. Amidst the manufactured forces of the industry, she must stand her ground and protect her passion for music. As if that wasn't enough, Ezra finds herself suddenly encountering a pretentious rockstar and is unexpectedly drawn to him. As the competition heats up, Ezra finds herself at the center of a brewing scandal that could end her career before it even starts. The pressure is on, and Ezra is torn between her passion for music and the fear of being dragged down. The stakes are high, and people are unforgiving, but Ezra knows that her music is worth fighting for. With her future on the line, she must navigate the twists and turns of the music industry and stay focused on what really matters: her music and her dreams.

Their tumultuous journey begins when Priscilla, introduced to Sid through her brother Johnny Rotten, enters the chaotic world of punk music. At first glance, Sid and Priscilla clash like opposing forces, their personalities colliding in a whirlwind of defiance and animosity. Priscilla, fiercely independent and unapologetically outspoken, challenges Sid's brash demeanor and confrontational attitude at every turn. Sid, in turn, is drawn to Priscilla's fiery spirit, even as he struggles to reconcile his own inner turmoil. Despite their initial disdain for one another, a spark ignites between Sid and Priscilla, fueling a clandestine relationship that simmers beneath the surface of their tumultuous lives. Bound by the secrecy of their connection, they navigate the treacherous waters of fame, rebellion, and self-destruction, all while keeping their forbidden love hidden from prying eyes. In the shadows of smoke-filled clubs and echoing alleyways, Sid and Priscilla's love story unfolds-a tale of passion, defiance, and the raw intensity of punk rock rebellion. Together, they defy convention and embrace the tumultuous beauty of their forbidden romance, carving out their own path in a world determined to tear them apart. In the end, Sid and Priscilla's love burns brightly against the backdrop of an era defined by chaos and rebellion, a testament to the enduring power of love in the face of adversity. * find videos and stuff on my tik tok sidviciousher0in there i post a lot stuff about sid vicious and myself 🎀 but it'd be pretty nice as well when y'all leave a follow on my lovely insta page de1reyvinyl !! * i'll try to update my story as often as i can, have motivation and ideas !!

62 parts Complete Mature
It starts at a concert. For years, the haunting melodies and darkly poetic lyrics of Oliver Rose and The Thorns have provided Madison solace and inspired the explosions of color she's never dared to call art. Now, as she begins her post-college life in Los Angeles, she finally gets to see The Thorns live. An embarrassing mistake connects her with Daniel, and the spark between them is instant. But he's not just any swoon-worthy stranger-he's one of Oliver Rose's oldest friends. Before she can even process this twist of fate, Madison finds herself whisked away to the band's afterparty, living out a scene straight from her fantasies. And then, there he is: Oliver Rose, the man whose voice has scored her every heartache and triumph, in the flesh. To Madison's utter amazement, the charismatic frontman seems just as intrigued by her. But life rarely follows the lyrics of a love song. While the allure of her teenage celebrity crush is undeniable, Madison can't ignore the easy connection blooming with Daniel. As fantasy and reality blur, her choices threaten to unravel not only her dreams, but the tight-knit world of the band she idolizes. In life, as in art, the most beautiful creations often emerge from the messiest processes. What readers are saying: "The first story that left me utterly breathless 😁" "Interesting storyline right off the bat. Deep characters with great development. Most importantly...VERY VERY good writing and that's a must for me. I can't wait to see what happens. I'm so intrigued."
