The Atonement of a Writer
Lilianne Marineau, aka Lili, a struggling writer like you and me, wakes up to find herself in the body of Arielle Dumont, the female protagonist in her own, half-written novel. What would happen next? She sure as hell doesn't know. At first, all Lili wants to do is survive, and is overcome with the feeling that she had been bound by chains of her own making. Soon enough, though, she realizes she had been atoning for the wrong thing--and maybe, just maybe it was not her fault. A story of a writer who has to live as a character in a world she hasn't quite fully developed yet. A terrible writer with terrible concepts of magic in a fantasy world--and yes, there are glitches. TW: anxiety/depression/existential crisis esp in the earlier chapters, but quite mild, nothing we all haven't experienced before (I think anyone would reasonably panic in MC's situation). Still overall fairly lightheartedComplete

"Can we hurry up! I still need to introduce myself". "You're not introducing yourself trickster, that's a spoiler!". "Then why am I here?". "...To look pretty?". " I hate you...". " Yeah, I know, but they don't, so shh". "Can I introduce myself already?!". " Yeah, you go girl...". "Hi, I'm Athena". "Anyway, as I was saying this is my story...". "How is it your story if you are barely there in the first half of the story?". "You're just jealous that the writer loves me more". "Says the character that started as generic fantasy character one". "Says the one that started as Ethan's friend number two, yeah, that's right, you weren't even first then...". "Oh, you wanna go? Let 's go!". "Ouch!". "Both of you, out!". "But Tina...". "No buts, out... Okay, now that they are gone. Welcome to our story, where each chapter will be narrated by a different character, taking place in the fantastical Empire of Feragon. In this story we will laugh and cry and grow closer together, as we learn about each other, magic and the dark secrets the empire doesn't want us to know about. And, maybe even find love along the way. So, what are you waiting for? Read the story to meet us".Complete

Now trapped in a world of extravagant gowns, scheming nobles, and an overcomplicated plot, Alexandria has only one goal: to survive. Her plan?

From coincidental meetings with key characters to unraveling secrets she was never meant to know, Alexandria's carefully laid plans start crumbling faster than a dry biscuit in soup. Will she manage to dodge the death flags looming over her, or is destiny determined to keep her story on track?Complete
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Book
I didn't die in a dramatic battle, nor did I wake up in some fantasy world as a hero. I got reincarnated as a book. A sentient, magical, panic-prone book. Now I float, glow, and occasionally explode in chaotic sparks while being carried around by a determined mage named Lyra and her overly enthusiastic apprentice, Tavin. My life, or unlife, is a mix of accidental magic, goblin attacks, and the existential dread of literally being read aloud. But things get serious when I form a magical pact with Lyra, unlocking powers I never asked for and a bond that makes me... important. Maybe even heroic. If I survive long enough to figure out how to actually use magic instead of panicking. Join me, the Codex, as I navigate magic, monsters, and the hilarious hardships of being a book with feelings. Adventure awaits. And yes, I still hate Tavin's handwriting.
Contraindication
[WATTYS 2022 SHORTLIST] "Hello again, Pizza Boy?" I glanced up at him with a smile. The blood was rushing out my head but it didn't bother me. "Are you back to make another attempt on my life?" "Shut up," he fumbled, absolutely petrified. "I-I hate you!" I laughed as we were both red in the face; one more sticky then the other, "Aww, I hate you too." My hands held my non-beating chest. "It's mutual trust me. But I guess you really want your Xbox back huh?" -- 17 year-old Evelyn Gates has a quiet yet witty personality. She usually stays in the background and is mediocre at literally everything... just ask anyone. She enjoys the smell of pizza and watching Guy Fieri stuff his face with food in her free time. Oh, and there's one more thing... she's immortal. That's right, Evelyn can't die, and she doesn't know why. Her body just magically puts itself back together again after tragic incidents. She calls it a curse, but the one other person who knows about it calls it a miracle. It's not until her pizza order turns deadly and her mom's boyfriend changes his outlook on life, when Evelyn finds out that there might be some more people involved with her immortality; people who are puppeteering her life and will stop at nothing but to destroy her. - Featured on: @TeenFiction 'FunnyBones' reading list: October 6th, 2021 @StoriesUndiscovered 'The Power of Laughter' reading list: June 1st -30th, 2021 -- Since mock websites are becoming more common, unfortunately, I have to give the disclaimer that this story is only being published on Wattpad.

A dragon. Now bonded, she becomes something rare, powerful and dangerous. And most importantly, a target. Dragged into a hidden academy in another world, Evie is thrown into brutal trials designed to break the bonded, or turn them into weapons. Survival is never a guarantee. Especially not for dragon riders. Her twin brother and father are missing. An Elite order is watching her every move. And the commander training her sees her as a liability, not a warrior. But as Evie fights to survive an academy designed to kill her, the bully and harassment for being a human from the mundane realm, and the bond burning her from the inside out. An ancient evil begins to stir, threatening everything the riders have sworn to protect. And if Evie doesn't survive long enough to control her new bond...it won't just be her life at stake.
