Wait! I Wrote That? by CroodsGirl

|SPECIAL EDITION · PRE-PUBLICATION · 10X FEATURED · 2X SPOLIGHT STORY| Saddened by her lonely life, a little girl named Victoria Christie uses her inventive imagination to write stories. Now that she's older, she must find a way to share her tale with the world. *** Victoria Christie never expected to be a writer, but everything changed in 4th grade when she annoyed her mother at a barber shop. She told Victoria to write in her school notebook, which sparked her daughter's lifelong passion for writing. Now, many years later, Victoria is eager to share her story through an interactive novel that showcases how her writing has changed over time and what hardships she faced to keep her island of personality-especially after her brother's unfortunate death in 2021. With the power of writing and her brother's legacy, will Victoria's old stories spark the interest of an audience? Will they interact with her and tell her how her incomplete pieces should end, or will Victoria remain an undiscovered author? This is an anthology of my old stories. Most are incomplete, so it's up to my audience to decide how they should end. This is the story of how I became Viktoria Fyodorova. Let the cringe begin! *** *Amazing cover by @Shreya_VA!* Word Count: 200,000-250,000

She was shattered, her past erased by pain, her voice stolen by trauma. He was a ruler-not just of politics but of the shadows where justice was a debt paid in blood. Ruthless to those who took justice for granted, yet never cruel to the innocent. At an early age, he learned one truth-power commands justice. Without it, you're nothing. That night, their worlds collided. He found her-battered, nameless, drowning in silence. He should've walked away. But something about her... felt familiar. A forgotten memory. A name lost in time. A connection buried beneath scars. She had no past she was willing to share. He had a childhood he never let go of. But fate doesn't ask for permission-it rewrites the story in the most ruthless ways. Some scars don't just heal... they reveal. And when the truth surfaces, will it mend what was lost or destroy them both? A story of pain, justice and an unexpected love that blooms in the darkest places.

The Rebel Child: "Hell Hath no Fury like a Woman Rewritten" by invisibleshadow_

She wanted to be loved. She ended up unforgettable. They told her to stay quiet, stay small, stay home. She ran. First from her family, then from her past - straight into the spotlight. She rewrites everything. She's not here to be a star. She's here to burn the script. Feminist. Fearless. Final. ---------- || "Aven was always told to stay quiet, stay small, stay back. And she did-just like any normal daughter would do. But when the truths started unraveling, about her, about her past-she became something worse. Something that the society couldn't swallow. She thought love could save her, but it ended up bringing out a version of herself, she never thought existed. She was touched. Almost marked as his. But she knew better than to stay silent about it. She had enough. She had to survive. For the damn life waiting for her. So, she killed her abuser. Because it was either him or her. Someone had to be dead. The night was meant to take a life away."|| (TheWattys2025)
