I like to think of myself as a historian, this book just tells you what I know. In this book, you can find a rough guideline of how to start a historical fiction book, how to keep going, and how to end it. I'll include everything I've learned over my time writing historical fiction. There's a lot to watch out for; lots of dos and don't;s, can be's and would-be's, lots of rules and all the time in the world. In this book you can find helpful advice and discussions on tackling things like:
* Everyday life
* Slang
* Fads
* The do's and do not's
* How to deal with touchy subjects specific to the times
* Resources
* etc. 
This is an open book, if you have any specific questions, post them in the comments or send me a direct message and I'll do my best to answer it.All Rights Reserved

cavities - a countryhumans one-shot book by wheezymichael

a sickeningly sweet one-shot book probably to be filled with amerus, but i can take requests for other ships this is for me to vent out and also just get my ideas on paper before they leave me. i don't do smut, only fluff and other stuff, hence the name. requests are open :) i'll try not to give much angst, because i too would like some fluff at times. #1 countryhumanrusame - july 4th, 2020 #3 countryhumansrusame - july 9th, 2020 #2 countryhumansships - august 30th, 2022 #1 shiponeshots - august 7th, 2020 #5 amerus - june 9th, 2022 #1 countryhumansoneshots - may 11th, 2021 #1 americaxjapan - april 16th, 2021 #1 amepan - april 16th, 2021 #3 gerpol - april 16th, 2021 #3 countryhumansrusger - april 16th, 2021 #1 countryhumansgerpol - june 2nd, 2021 #49 rusame - november 27th, 2021 #86 countryhumans - august 11th, 2022

Disowned (BWWM) by ReignXBlack

What would you do if your own father disowned you over something you couldn't control? What would you do if you were buried for 211 years, because of what you became? Some people may bring hell on earth and destroy everything in its path and say it was reasonable... but is it? [WARNING] There is going to be some curse words if you don't like that, then don't read and put irrational comments. Thank you. ;* Also this is a interracial relationship book meaning a black women and white man dating, a Brazilian women and black man dating, and a white women and black man dating. The list could go on. If you do not like that then please don't read the book and don't put rude fucking comments about interracial dating. Thank you ! :) PREQUEL TO AMAUROSIS

nyx's fanfic collection by luv_nyx

I wrote a lot between 2019-2021. Most of it was fanfiction, but looking back on it the progress I made between them is cool to me. They will all be in order of when they were started, but none are complete and some are just a few pages long. Others last near a hundred pages. You could somewhat consider these oneshots, but they really range in length; one is just more than 100 words but another is close to 30,000. Plus, some don't even get to the part where you meet the love interest. Some of the older stories contain sensitive subjects, i.e. self-harm, suicide, abuse, bullying. There may be other things that I missed.

Running With It (Captain America x Reader) by Glowstick_of_Destiny

Y/N has had a... harsh life. She gained her powers in the same freak accident that ruined her life. When Nick Fury recruits her for the Avengers, Y/N finds her life turned upside down by monsters, magic, and, most importantly, Steve Rogers. ‎⍟ ‎ BEFORE YOU READ: ~ This story contains no smut and/or swearing because I am a ✨minor✨ ~ Each chapter is 1500+ words. ~ THIS STORY MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS ~ Y/N (yourself) is written as a FEMALE character, but obviously anybody is welcome to read it. Just wanted to let people know beforehand so nobody is disappointed :) ~ If it mentions a specific movie at the top of a chapter, make sure you have watched that movie before you read the chapter. ~ The main character, a.k.a. you, has the power to transform into a wolf and back into a human. She does not retain any wolf-like characteristics when she is in her human form (no tail, no ears, etc.) ~ I love hearing suggestions, requests, anything! Let me know what you think! I can't promise your suggestions will happen, but I can definitely try. ~ Once this book is finished, I will not write a sequel, but I may write others with different Avengers. ~ At the end if anyone wants, I can do bonus chapters/segments of moments between Y/N and Steve ~ Chapters will be released bi-weekly on Fridays. If I ever get to 10,000 views, though, I'll definitely start posting at least once a week. (Yes, I am aware that getting 10,000 views is unlikely lol.) ~ Chapter 14 and 15 might be published a bit late as I was in the hospital and got behind on writing chapters (sorry guys, I did my best 😭)

Elders of the creek oneshots by Mothklok

One shots written about Barry, David, and mark. Typically x readers, maybe oc's or self inserts if requested. Yadda yadda not my characters yadda yadda you guys know the drill. Not writing morally wrong shit (r@pe, pedophilia, incest, etc) There is cussing, mentions of mental health issues and mental illness, and smut in this book. (occasionally used to write smut, but not now that I'm almost 19 (started this at 16) and I'm not sure if the boys are canonically 18 or if it's just fannon) Smut, fluff, angst -des Dm me for requests :) Started july 27th, 2022
