My first book, "Wicked Normal," kicks off my Persephone Smith series.  I have heard feedback on Wattpad that folks would like to see where the characters started... so I'm giving my Wattpad readers a taste.  Note: some don't show up until later books, but this is where it all started...

Growing up with a unique quality, one assumes that everyone else does, too. Persephone Smith, the self-confident, fifth grade, narrating protagonist of "Wicked Normal," innocently views herself as "wicked normal," believing that everyone has the natural powers to have psychic visions, precognitive dreams, see ghosts, and make actions occur by speaking them. "Wicked Normal" chronicles the year when she discovers power in her natural abilities and realizes that not everyone has run-ins with fairies or communicates with ghosts. 
 
In many ways, her life is perfectly ordinary. She is the only child of Wally and Demi Smith, who provide her with a strong moral fiber, a very clear sense of right and wrong, and safety from the world. Although she describes her life as the "happily ever after," this year is full of complicated situations and shows her happiness exists solely because her parents love her, and each other, unconditionally. 
 
Despite a strong vocabulary and advanced maturity, Persephone is not perfect, making impulsive, innocently naïve choices with consequences. Her peers include: Gabby, the whiny tattle-tale at day camp; Coral, Persephone's "best friend" who throws temper tantrums if she doesn't get her way; Charles, the quintessential sci-fi/fantasy pre-teen geek; Joey, Persephone's blue-eyed, dimpled, crush; along with Seth, Jade, and others. 
 
"Wicked Normal" is intended for ages 9 and up. The real-life Vermont setting, lovable characters, and realistic fifth grade predicaments blend with the fantasy element of extraordinary powers to create an escape from reality for any "wicked normal" readers.

Y/N was starting over and wasn't getting any younger. She definitely had baggage and wanted to try something where nobody knew her, moving to Boston, and beginning her second act. New friends are made and she is plunged into a life she never could imagined living. PLEASE LIKE AND LEAVE FEEDBACK. This is my first attempt at writing something so big and would appreciate it. 18 + due to adult content ⚠️ : *There will be some language, well because if you have seen interviews and things with some of these people, it is part of how they talk. *There will eventually be some mature content. *I love Disney WORLD and Universal and enjoy reading stories with Chris at Disney World so I am looking forward to writing those chapters at some point. *I, unfortunately, have never met Chris or any of the actors depicted. I do not know the Evans family personally, so anything in this story is strictly written just for fun. *Nothing is intended to make anyone look bad or to harm anyone's feelings. References and descriptions or how one of the characters may act is based on perceptions from interviews, possibly movies, or their social media. Some are even made up strictly for storyline purposes. I don't know them so have no idea what they are like or not like. *references to fans who are overstepping or displaying stalker tendencies are not based on anyone particular, just from things said in interviews or blogs or social media. I am a fan myself, so we all know there are a handful of fans out of millions who do go too far sometimes with the actor/actress that they become infatuated with. *Any pictures and gifs and videos used are credited to the owner. *It is all based on my perception but I have tried to stay clear of politics or topics in the news that are sensitive and stay neutral on things. *In other words, this is a fan FICTION story meant for fans to read to escape reality for a bit.

Melinda goes to a school in a far far away place, to a school of magic but everyone else there is as normal as normal. They learn what school kids do. The usual algebra and chemistry but they are trained with powers. The school do not teach them how to control their powers, they teach themselves. Like every school, there is always the popular and the unpopular. In her school, there is two really sexy prefect, 2 pop stars, 2 princesses, famous actors, cool cheerleaders, geeks, and of course, herself. Everyone in her class was special in a way, even the geeks. There was no average kids, only her. To make things worse, the smart students have been chosen. They were chosen to train and protect their world, Xigix. Xigix calls them CPs which stands for Coolest People since they all think they are so cool. She does not have any hate towards them but the chosen people from her class out of the 6 chosen CPs were the 2 popstars and the 2 princesses, not her. Melinda was upset, the only cool thing was that she dated one of the popstars but they decided to be friends after all. She did not mind that but she does realise that she is the big outcast of the class but on her 18 birthday, she realises something really special. She happens to be the Nyphm of the Ocean. She really is one of the 6 Nypmhs of Xigix together with her not-so-cool classmates, Laurel and Jessilyn, Nymph of Elements and Nymph of the Soul. The other nymphs turn out quite stunning too. Together they are a team but will Melinda's classmate ever see who she really is and will she get accepted as someone special to them? Will she still be considered an outcast to her class? Above Star class? --- Inspiration from Winx Club! The princesses and popstars part were made by @ShinyYeo , for more information on the popstars...check my other story "Braving The Past" but has nothing to do with this one. The cover is made by @qu33en_of_m3 This story is my idea and I appreciate if you do not re-post it! Thanks:)

How would you describe Franklin Stine? "Devoted underachiever." "Too bland to pick out of a police line-up." "Vanilla paste mixed with white rice and a side of chalk." Or maybe just one word: boring. As in "the most boring boy in the entire world." (They had an awards ceremony; he took home a lazy little trophy.) All Franklin wants is to sleep through high school, and his depressingly average life, without too much fuss. But then she happened. Kimberly King. If you were brave enough to describe her, you might say: "natural leader," "badass with a baseball bat," "six star general," or even, "purple hair." She's recruiting any and all students with magical power to join her Konquest Klub. Her ultimate goal: world domination, and they can either join her, or wind up as one of the many "Slop Boys" under her future regime. That's not an idea most people can take seriously-Franklin included. He doesn't want to get caught in a time loop. He doesn't want to kidnap animals from the zoo. He doesn't want to have anything to do with magic, genies or caramel lattes. And he really wishes that Kimberly would stop using the Boy's Restroom for her secret meetings. What no one realizes is that underneath Kimberly's bravado and confidence lies a dark secret-and when it comes out, Franklin is the only friend that Kimberly has left. Will one deeply uninteresting boy and one crazy-ambitious girl be enough to face punk-rock magicians, zoo security, and a timeline stuck on reload? Will Kimberly really conquer the world? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ All things Kimberly now exist here: https://abylon.wordpress.com/ Show your support for the Konquest Klub by leaving an Amazon review: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018ZY85V8
New London by JadenSeptum
19 parts Ongoing
idk what this is but one day my friend and I randomly decided to take our OCs from different fantasy stories and put them all together in a modern/future/cyberpunk aesthetic world instead. More comedic and satire than the typical serious stuff we usually do. I just decided to put it up here in case anyone enjoyed it Some characters from my book "Ascendant" are recycled for this (Muiredach, Uriah, and Runa) my friend created and wrote for Adeline, Raegan, and Klaus All other characters were created and written by myself Rated M for mature because of language. There's not a lot of sex or anything aside from talking and joking. I think ages 15 to 25 would likely enjoy it the most. It's kind of goofy and fun. LORE AND CONTEXT: A very satire-like cyberpunk style world in 2100s. Superheroes are kind of a known thing though extremely rare and not like how Marvel has one down every street. There are ambiguous "powers and magical forces" people have spoken about more so than in our world but other than that, it's basically our world but the hypothetical and comedic future. New London is a neglected city off the coast of Canada (Canada is known as North Montana now after the US took it). It's huge and very cyberpunk in style... but it's hard to describe so find our Pinterest board about the story by following the external link in the story parts... Very Gotham City like. It was where many people from the UK migrated to after the third world war but the city's politics and system are awful and the crime rate is super high

-- COMPLETED -- *** "You're the first ever future human Luna, love. I don't know whether my pack will accept you." *** Radiance Collins was not a believer of love. Her so called "parents" never exposed her to the love everyone deserves. One day, her "parents" were mysteriously murdered, and the case was eventually closed as an unsolved case. She never really had friends, because she always kept to herself, and always avoided trouble. Long story short, she moved in with Sarah, the woman who claims to be her biological aunt, after the death of her "parents" and goes into a entirely different town. But little does she know how close she was going to meet her destiny. Bentley Cole is a soon-to-be alpha of the Black Cole pack. Three years after his fifteenth birthday, he had yet to find his mate. Despite that, he never stopped looking for her, but you know, typical Alpha's and their needs. And then everything changes when they literally bump into each other. What happens when fate, or more specifically, Moon Goddess, pairs up these two? Secrets will start to unravel, Radiance would later on find out more about herself, and why she didn't react like a normal human being would, after she has been physically and mentally abused by her "parents". *** MAJOR WARNING : THE FIRST FEW CHAPTERS ARE PRETTY SHITTY BUT IT GETS BETTER, I PROMISE! I'D SAY THIS BOOK IS 35% CLICHE, 60% NOT CLICHE, 4%BAD GRAMMAR, 1% HORRIBLE SPELLING MISTAKES ( UPDATE -25/10/17- : THIS BOOK IS SO AMMATUR-ISH JESUS CHRIST!!! BUT IT'S THE VERY FIRST BOOK - WELL NOT REALLY, SINCE I RE-WROTE THE WHOLE BOOK - I'VE PUBLISHED, SO IT STAYS HERE!! JUST DON'T READ IF YOU THINK YOU CAN'T, I WON'T BLAME YOU :') )

'Bad Boys Ain't Good But Good Boys Ain't No Fun.' "Don't look, but it's the king of being horny behind you." I automatically looked behind me, making Autumn scoff at me. She shook her head. "Ace Ford." Autumn's face retorted in disgust. "Every girl's 'dream guy'." Her fingers made quotation marks. "Let me just tell you Jane, that boy is disgusting." Ace leaned against the railing of the bleachers. He pushed his dark brown hair back and smirked as he talked to one of the blonde cheerleaders. "How so?" I questioned, turning back towards her. She raised an eyebrow. "Just look at the guy, doesn't he just scream 'I won't have sex with you and immediately ditch you unless you have dubble D's and the IQ of a goldfish?'" "He can't be that bad." I said, causing her to snort. ___________ Warning: Very Mild cursing. That's why I'm making it PG13 guys. Read at own risk. Hope you guys like the story. ____________ 2k16 edit: Howdy, how are you doing this godawful day? Burning in hell for your sins? Same! Great. Now that the formalities are out the window I'd just like to say... WHY AM I SUCH A DISGRACE TO MANKIND. What is this writing /-~-\ oh goodness gracious. How does this doodoo have 6k reads *siiiiiiiigh* My writing has improved at ton (I am assuming) and this was my first book so please, pretty pretty please don't hate me for all the mistakes and plot holes. I- I am very ashamed myself. And Engelesh is NOT my first language either so haaaaa, life. Mistakes were made so don't kill me. Okay, that's all for me. I still hope you somehow enjoy the story nonetheless and have a GREAT existence! ______ 2020 update So, I started writing this when I was 11. I am 18 now and haven't edited this since I was 15. I hope that says enough. Try to ignore the spelling and grammar mistakes!
Four Journies by IndecisiveandJipped
1 part Complete
CALLIE has no family left. So she's been spending her time in the woods, picking at questionable berries and developing a dark worldview. She has a dream of vengance, to kill the man who murdered her mother. And when a seemingly random trip to the circus brings her together with some strange people, Callie finds out that her dream could become reality, and she just might tip the scales of doom and salvation in the process... ALEX is a pessimist. With good reason. His whole life has consisted of grief, pain and hardship, including occasional glimmers of happiness. But when happiness comes, it quickly fades, leaving an empty void in its place. Alex knows this, and he won't be fooled into thinking otherwise. Or will he? LUNA needs a better job. Being a trapeze artist may hide her from the government, but it's not so fun when the manager is a raving lunatic and there's likely to be a crazed pervert in the crowd. So when the big top gets demolished- literally- Luna sees it as a ticket to freedom (contracts are generally void once a business has been destroyed). What she doesn't see are the doors to her past creaking open, and their contents coming to haunt her. ZACH is normal...ish. As normal as a Gifted kid can be. His brand of normalcy includes a kickass grandma, childhood trauma and your everyday run of the mill dragon, but hey, he's not as insane as the others. Really, Zach is thirsting for adventure. Something that doesn't involve babysitting siblings or feuding with his parents. He should've been careful what he wished for.

Human Alastor x Fem!Reader (It has a whole asylum bit, if you don't like that don't read, okay? Okay cool bye!) "Do you realize that I've murdered, tortured and killed people giving me less attitude than you are now. You are acting like a sulking child, Is that what you want? To be treated like a child?" He raised his voice and took a few steps forward. Your back hit the wall and you felt trapped. "I should've just killed you..." He said quietly. "Why didn't you?" You spoke through stuttered breaths. "I-" He went silent and stared into your eyes trying to think of an answer. (In this book you slowly go insane 😍) This is a 18+ book there will be: - Gore -murder -Smut (yes I know Alastor is ace/asexual BUT this is like an alternate universe) Smut chapters will be skippable and won't affect the story :) -violence -torture -sexual themes -swearing -cannibalism I will put a warning at the top of a chapter. There is going to be an upcoming sequel to this book. RANKINGS: #1 Human Alastor (22nd April 2024) #2 Alastor (25th April) #1 Hazbinhotel (29th April) (My most impressive ranking) #1 Vox (14th May) #1 Hazbinhotelalastor (18th may) #1Lucifer (10 June ) None of the art in this book is mine unless I say it is. All characters belong to Vivziepop.
