Faye and Ruin by Rianna619

A week before her twenty fifth birthday, Azora begins having nightmares. Terrifying dreams of a world that doesn't exist. Shouldn't exist. When it becomes too much, she explodes and finds herself in a completely different realm full of Fae and all different types of magical creatures. As she learns of an ancestors imprisonment, she sets out on a quest to help bring her back. But the only way to do so is to allow herself to be prisoner to the very enemy that is seeking her death. Can she complete this quest, or will the obstacles become to great? Will she be able to push through the lies of the enemy, the kindness that one shows, to accomplish what has been her fate long before she was born or will things go sideways? **EDITING WILL COME SOON! A FEW LATER CHAPTERS WILL BE CHANGED BUT PLEASE COMMENT WITH FEEDBACK/NEEDED EDITS**

A Guardian by raspberry-cafe

"The world around her swam with mottled light. How long had she been fighting?" So...in sixth grade we took this computer-skills class. Our final test was to write a short story in Microsoft Word. My story ended up fleshing out into the trilogy I am working on and planning to publish at somepoint in my life, but I realized how incredible my writing skill has improved between just the two or three years. So, I decided to re-write the original sequence of a short story, same plot and characters, just with current skill. Comments and feedback are appreciated, please enjoy!

My Fiction Fix #01 by darkblonde1

Hi there! These are ideas/ collections of work I wanted to get down because in the end, I almost always end up forgetting or deleting the book before I can get more than a few chapters in. So, to all my loyal readers, fellow writers, amazing voters and absolutely wonderful commenters...here's a look into the many book drafts I have in my head. This is also a book to leave your own ideas inside. I want your thoughts, even if it is about your day, about your ideas that you want to talk about...write it here. Hope you enjoy it.

Discoveries by IndiaLyell

"What are... we?" She thought for a moment. "Men call us elves." Alyssa was ever the rebel, with other dreams than being queen. Like having an adventure. She knew it was never going to happen, until... it did. On her thirteenth birthday she fell into a canyon and found a myth. Two years later, she rode right into it. This is the first part in a seven-book series. Constructive criticism is very welcome; I seek to improve. I try to update at least once a week. - First draft, that I'm currently editing so errors/inconsistency etc might occur. If you come across anything please do comment and I'll correct it asap - DID YOU READ IT? Omg *hugs you to death*

My Monster Dream by Author_J_

Throughout the book, the main character tries to discover what it means to be alive as a 'lower being' in a new world. Originally, she believes herself to be human until an accident occurs, and she finds herself to be woken up in the middle of what she thought to be some sort of cosplay festival. Oddly enough, these strange creatures weren't human, which she quickly realized after being attacked and nearly killed. Now she's got to learn how to survive in this new, scary environment where everyone's out for her demise. I've learned a lot of the parts in this book relate to real-life events, places in the present, and the past. You'll see a lot of connections between actual human historical events and the goings on in this book. The main character is, above all, head strong and bold. She's unafraid of the social normal and any punishments that come when defying them. ----- My original caption for the story: I had a dream, and it was kinda awesome and slightly romantic. I'll try my best to write down what I remember.

Fleshed Out | Sweeney Todd by Horroryas

What would happen if movies grew out into the real world? An experiment took place, where one celebrity was chosen for just a trial. It was supposed to be innocent, and just for fun, perhaps even an attraction or a money grabber... If only the world knew how dark this invention shot out to be. What celebrity could have been chosen? (I know it's obvious since Sweeney Todd is up there) What were the concequences of the failure of the experiment that left the word in fear? What will Happen to the main character when the experiment concequence affects her? ___________________________________ ● Old book ● Second book I ever wrote ● Sequel cancelled ○ Currently Book in rebooting process ● Original book ● Book completed

THE FARAWAY LANDS OF OZ - Book One by alwaysbooked

[!!CW!! graphic depiction of violence, alcohol and drug abuse, mental health issues] "My eyes fooled me... This could not be what had happened... I felt the pressure build up in my throat, this uncomfortable sensation of holding back one's tears followed almost instantly after.

Father could not be dead; dying." Oz, 2013.
