Ali was delighted when she received the old mirror that belonged to her old Great-Aunt Peg.
She couldn't possibly imagine that her Great-Aunt herself had been a prisoner in the Mirror realm for over fifty years, and that the mirror she had received was the door to reach it.

Now, Ali's in the Mirror realm- and Ila, her mirror doppelganger, wants to take her place on the other side. With the help of Great-Aunt Peg, Ali must learn the rules of this land in eight days, if she wants to win the key and get back home.

Welcome to the Battlefield

Girl in the Mirror | 1st Place + Grand Winner of ONC2025 door Monrosey

✨First Place + Grand Winner of ONC 2025✨ (thank you!) In the wake of her estranged mother's death, Maricel Ferrer returns to her childhood home to confront the dark secrets she left behind. 🪞 Maricel has spent years trying to forget the house she grew up in - the house where her mother's mental health slowly unraveled. But after receiving unexpected news, she has no choice but to return. The old fears should be gone, just like her childhood "imaginary friend" who liked to appear in her reflection. At first, it's easy to dismiss the strange occurrences: a flicker in the glass, a movement that doesn't quite match hers. But then the reflection smiles when she doesn't. Moves when she's still. Whispers things she doesn't want to hear. By the time Maricel realizes the truth - that the thing in the mirror has been waiting for her return - it's too late. Because now, it wants out. And it wants to take her place. ONC 2025 | Exclusively on Wattpad Prompt 55: What if the person you see in the mirror isn't really you, but something that's been watching you this whole time? Prompt 105: Your childhood imaginary friend, who disappeared years ago, suddenly returns - only this time, they're real. © 2025 Darly Jamison. All Rights Reserved.

[ONC 2025 Shortlister] An apprentice silversmith, haunted by his reflection. A wealthy family, falling to ruin. A patron spirit, searching for a pact. Five games will decide their fate. After acquiring great wealth from a boom in silver trade, the Blackwood family moves into a mansion that was mysteriously abandoned by its previous owners. The property has everything a family of established silversmiths could need: prime trade location, a smithing workshop, and a large mirror that was left behind. To Kyren Blackwood, the promises of a new life and the riches that come with it are more than enough to overshadow the eerie tale. But the mirror watches. Reflections are not what they seem. Driven to the brink of insanity, Kyren must uncover the mirror's secrets before his family loses everything. In a desperate attempt to free himself, he agrees to play five games with the spectre in the mirror. If he can win three, the curse will end. Lose, and he surrenders his soul to the silver spirit. ~An ONC novella, inspired by prompts 13 and 55. ~Set in the same world as Buried in the Sea but can be read completely independently (with no spoilers to one or the other).

🏆 ONC 2025 SHORT-LISTER 🏆 Warning: Explicit mentions of violence, suicide and sexual content. Please proceed with caution. Rated Mature. ============================================= The sun burns too hot outside. And inside her house, the heat isn't the worst thing. Her mother's words hit just as hard, reminding her that she's a disappointment. School isn't much better. No one notices when she's there, no one cares when she's gone. She's background noise, too exhausted to try anymore. And then the puddle appears. It shouldn't be there, not in this drought. When she kneels beside it, her reflection stares back. It blinks. It pulls her in. She thought she would die drowning in. But being alive, dragged into another world isn't the problem. Now she is important to this other world. Now, she is seen. But because she is so valuable, the General wants to use her. And possibly, someone that might want her to stay, for her. Portal is a paranormal fantasy adventure filled with sapphic tension, full of action and death, and a love that goes beyond worlds. For the Open Novella Writing Contest 2025.

Her grandmother always told her that one day she could visit that world. All she had to do was go to the mirror in the attic, close her eyes and walk through. As she got older she stopped believing that the mirror in the attic was magical, and gave up on her dreams of fantasy worlds to focus on high school. Freya Carson is going to be a senior at North Valkyrie High School. And her life is about to change forever. With news of her grandmothers sudden death, she heads to the cabin with her parents and sister to clean it out and get it ready to sell before the school year starts. While cleaning, her and her sister Nora are stuck with the attic, and stumble upon the mirror. When the mirror suddenly starts glowing and sucks them both in, they find themselves in a whole other world, just like the stories they heard as children. They find it's nothing like how they remember it, as the two kingdoms of Fiore and Arcadia are at war, and they're caught right in the middle. Together they are saved by a mysterious female knight, and they head out to stop the war that could threaten and destroy the human and fantasy worlds forever.
