"You can check out anytime you like but you can never leave" - Hotel California by The Eagles
I've actually wanted to write a story based on this line for awhile now and why not do it about a haunted hotel ?
Incorporating some aspects of "The Haunting of Hill House" as well, like all those who die in the house, stay there forever
Also pulling architectural details from the Winchester Mystery House
Inspiration includes Miss Peregrine's House for Peculiar Children
Hotel is based off the Claremont Hotel in California
Setting: a stand alone / massive hotel (only one building, but imagine a hotel similar to the one in the shining) spread across many acres. In (not a desert but an environment similar to a desert) in California.
Time period: 1970's
Characters: Heather, age 24. Christine, age 26. Lori, age 23.
Plot: 3 friends have heard this legend about a hotel in the middle of nowhere and decide to go and see if it is real or if it is really just a legend.

Entangled
Vanilla, a lone werewolf with an unnaturally strong scent, belongs to the powerful vampire clan that rules the city. By day he can roam freely, work and live as he likes, but when night falls, he serves the vampires and their needs, whatever those needs may be. They adore him, treasure him, and hate to share him with anyone else. Vanilla doesn't mind it, they provide him security, protection, and care. But what happens when a pack moves in close by, one with a new Alpha that fears no vampire, and is looking for a mate to complete his pack? Vanilla finds himself struggling with choosing what he wants in life; who he wants to live with, who he wants to keep as a lover, and what is best for him and his werewolf nature. Amidst his struggle, someone lets slip that he's not exactly an ordinary werewolf, which only adds to the further-tangling mess he finds himself in. Who can he trust? Which side does he pick? What if he were to pick neither? A polished/edited version of this book is currently being written and will be available to purchase in the Kindle store. If you enjoyed this version of the book, please consider buying, it would be a great help! I will post an announcement on my profile when the new version is ready <3 *** FYI, someone has taken this story, translated it into Spanish, and posted it as their own work. They changed the title to Al Salir La Luna. The user was once Soy_Beto and then A_Piper, but I haven't found their newest account if they've made one. Please help me by reporting the story and helping other authors be aware of this guy and other people who steal stories under the guise of translating them. It's incredibly frustrating and enraging to know that people will just copy paste a story that I put time and effort into plotting and writing. I know Wattpad is free to read but stealing stories under All Rights Reserved copyright is still theft.Complete
You Won't Get Away Twice (Alastor x FemReader)
I had to get out of town and start new. I packed my things and went to Louisiana; my family wouldn't find me there. I found a job that helped me lay low and made a few friends. But my friend just HAD to set me up on that date. Alastor, that was his name. He seemed nice and genuine, such a gentleman. Until the god damn man tried to stab me! Luckily, I got away. Once Alastor died, I would be able to live the rest of my life in peace. It's not like I would see him again... #1 in Valentino - 8/23/2024 (I feel kind of guilty for this one!) #1 in CharlieMorningstar - 9/7/2024 #1 in ReaderStories - 9/22/2024 #1 in HazbinHotel - 10/1/2024 (I'm so stinking proud of this one!

(Discontinued)Boardings
Inspired by a fic I read on AO3. Trigger warning: antisemitism, ablism, transphobia, abuse, dysfunctional house holds, implied self harm and active self harm, mentions of suicide, graphic depictions of fire and death, hallucinations, religious views and bullying, graphic depictions of violence, implications of rape and torture, cannibalism and rot, murder and major character death. A slow burn "possession" and recruitment Alfred Jones and Dimir Vladistov, victims Y and Z. Yurchenvile, home of the one true peace and power, church of the true god and his priesthood. Filled with flowers and lakes, stone paths and dark wooden buildings, long gowns with skin and bones. Gilbert's second home is in this community, and it his mission to picked the next chosen ones, Y and Z. Bring in the board, board made with love and care, if they ask what is is just say ouija. Board of the god, board of gods chosen bodies. Form a bond and life carefree, your body now belongs to me. Book is meant to be a slow detailed read rather than jumping into things head first, this helps keep people reading as they have a longer book and more anticipation the longer they read as things begin to turn rough.

Room 414 (√)
[ UNEDITED ] READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!! Let's be honest. What could possibly be worse than a 4 night stay in a 'haunted hotel'. Angeline, John, Max, Marcus, Ashlynn and myself, grouped together and assigned to stay in Room 414 of Resident Hotel. Creepy receptionist, elevator stopping at random floors, weird screaming at night, sudden deaths of students and seeing things only a person with a third eye could see. This is our story. *RESIDENT HOTEL IS A FICTIONAL HOTEL WHICH I MADE UP MYSELF.Complete
The Suicide Master (October Writing Challenge)
Nine teenagers have been granted a trip to a mountain lake house in Michigan and are planning to have the time of their lives together. However, one of their friends has other plans... So this was written over the course of the month of October 2015 as a writing challenge. If you would like to know more about the challenge, read on: So, the challenge is basically circled around finishing a COMPLETE story within the span of a month. You only have the days in the month, and you cannot plan or start writing before the first day of the month. You also cannot finish before the last day, so you must span your time out wisely (or just write the last two words on the last day, whatever floats your boat). If, however, you do NOT finish the book by 12 AM on the last day of the month (so in October's case 12 AM on Halloween), you have to kill off your main character(s). This story is classified as a "horror" story but is honestly more horror/drama.Complete
