To write a good novel, one needs at least a little bit of realism (yes, even in fantasy/sci-fi novels). However, research takes a long time and it's difficult. Beyond that sometimes we don't even know that we need to research something. So I'm here with this guidebook* to help you write a story that's a bit more concrete. 

----

* Please note, this covers things I've already researched/have a lot of experience with. And, yes, you can make requests. 

PS: There will be a Vol. 2 that is rated mature to cover topics that are more detailed and thereby less appropriate.All Rights Reserved

2023 Story Collection by stripper_heel_bitch

This is my challenge to myself to get better and more consistent at writing daily. Rules I will upload a part to a story every day. Some stories will be shorter than others and some may continue over multiple days, but I will upload everyday, no matter the quality. Consistency over perfection. Important Some might be good, some might be horrible. Good thing I'm doing this for me and not for you. I'd be grateful for any feedback though, I have a lot to learn.

Their Treasure by aficchi

Alessandra had always been in the dark about her family. Her mother made sure of it. She never told her anything about her father, her mysterious job, or the fact that she had six brothers. Six mysterious, wealthy, and dangerous brothers. One day, they came to her life, trying to take her home. But an unforeseen tragedy happened, causing her to be far from their reach. She was left with a man who claimed to be her uncle that wanted to take her in. But unfortunately, he is not a 'family' he claimed himself to be. So, she has to survive. Until fate brought her to meet them again. **The following story contains things which some readers may find distressing. Such as curse words, as well as violence / abuse and suicide (I'd put TW for this one) in future chapters Start: July 12, 2020

The rambling of a writer by KhiJiupkhi

[Me, complaining and contradicting all and everything written in every fanfiction created.] No hate, Just me, rambling about different topics in Fanfiction writing. Why? Because we all start somewhere, am I right? The good, the bad, the rightout clichès and the straight up delulu stuff. Note that I probably did most -if not all- of these things myself when writing, so be prepared of your beautiful cringefest and maybe learn a thing or two about writing a plot/story. Side note: Writing is a creative process, so... no shame in making any mistakes! We all have to start from somewhere! Side side note: Most of the things I talk about come either from my personal opinion OR from the things I've learned over the years. I've been writing since age ten and even did a Minor in creative writing whilst studying for my degree. Last side side side note: The fun is to read these chapters and then visit a random story on wattpadd. I guarentee you, you'll either groan in annoyance ance you can see these things or you giggle at how predictable things will get once you know some writer mistakes. It's all fun and it educates all of us! -xXx-

Perfect Fate ✔ (Moved To Inkitt) by fanoshkaflippo

Wattpad Creator! Happy and proud. HIM: Staying the night? Not my thing. Hearts and flowers? Boring. Falling in love? Not anytime soon. Settling down? Off the table. Getting married? You're kidding me, right? That was me before the night we first met. Because, well, meeting a hot chick that made me hard just by looking at her was definitely not in my plans when I sneaked out of a woman's apartment after what was already a long night. Taking her home and getting her a chocolate cake, though, was kind of intentional. But falling for her? Boy, that was pretty much inevitable. HER: He came out of nowhere, literally. I was there, sitting on that bench, barefoot and crying and just getting my heart broken in peace and silence. Then he appeared, all mad and furious and sexy and tall and just drool-worthy! And just like that, despite my poor attempts of escaping him, he had me wrapped in his world. A crazy yet heart-fluttering world, that I have absolutely no intentions of leaving anytime soon. ------- Character development is a main theme in this book. It shows you how they both work on changing for the better, while trying to overcome the obstacles in their relationship and fight for each other till the end. ** Warning!!

The Revenge Wife (COMPLETE) by MaryRose_Author

"Let me put this very clear to you, because it looks like you're not fully understanding. I paid for you to be my wife, meaning as my wife you'll do what I say because I paid for it. You literally sold yourself to me, so now you're mine. Here take your check." He tossed the check to my face, by now I was making the biggest effort to not cry in front of him, but he wasn't over, he continued. "What were you expecting? This is what gold diggers like you get, money has a price and now you're paying yours.... Enjoy your money wife." And walked away, leaving me in the big living room speechless and watery eyed. I didn't move for probably twenty seconds, I never expected this. The amazing cover was created by: @bellegrace97 *****IMPORTANT PLEASE READ****** This book has strong scenes of physical and verbal abuse, read at your own risk. If you have a hard time dealing with this topic please do not read, and if you do please refrain yourself from leaving comments about how wrong violence is, we all know violence is unacceptable in any way shape or form. Never my intention writing this story was not to encourage violence or make anyone believe this is aceptable in a relationship. Once (1) in this story the word "rape" is mentioned, as part of the characters foreplay, not actual rape. However some some might feel is best not to say it in hopes to make this go away. If we don't say it we will prevent it from happening, kind of thing. If reading this word once triggers you just one bit please do not read this story. THIS IS JUST A STORY and my only purpose writing it was to ENTERTAIN not educate teenagers on basics values that should come from home on the first place. If you still find the need to waste your time and comment saying this book is delivering wrong ideas your comment will be deleted with the purpose of not ruining other people's experience. Before you start reading be aware that EVERY NEGATIVE AND OFFENSIVE COMMENT WILL GET YOU BLOCKED.
