Zoey Hungerman has aspirations, all of which revolve around outdoing her brilliant, graduated-at-the-top-of-his-class-in-Cornell older brother. She's gunning for the spotlight in her family by excelling in Oxford law school, but her ability to see ghosts puts a wedge in her plans when she moves into an apartment with three of them. The worst part? They won't stop cooking in the kitchen.

An unlikely bond forms between the four house mates, but when Caleb, the quiet and mysterious one of the lot, unceremoniously barges into her life, Zoey is unable to avoid being drawn into the boundary between life and death. And she's about to realise that there are lessons about life to be learned from the dead, albeit at a painful cost.

An Open Novella Contest 2020 Entry, based on Prompt #43: The ghosts in my house wouldn't be so bad if they could just stop trying to cook.

A Pocket Full of Posies (Book 1) by Dear_Rhian

Felix Reynolds, a university student with a sixth sense, has to uncover the truth about the past he has no memory of in order to unravel what really killed his family, and keep himself and his friends alive in the process. ***** Felix Reynolds is your typical nineteen-year-old guy - least if you don't account for the whole seeing dead people thing. He swears it's not as exciting as it sounds, and it's nothing too scary either. That is, until he starts university. His sister, Annabel, who happens to be dead, has helped him manouvere through life fairly easily up until now, but not even she can explain some of the strange things that are starting to happen. After meeting someone else who claims to be a spirit talker, things start turning really weird, really fast. Mysterious entities start following Felix, other spirits begin giving him grizzly warnings, and the accident that killed his family and wiped his memory may actually be nothing of an accident at all. Felix Reynolds is your typical nineteen-year old guy, but he can't keep up that charade much longer. ***** (Book One of The Posies Trilogy) ★ Watty Awards 2019 winner ★

Phantom of the Apartment by 8BlueDragons

For many, the word haunted brings to mind malicious spirits prowling darkened halls in the dead of night and preying upon the living. Not for Jason. For Jason, it brought to mind the antics of his sarcastic "roommate" named Rebecca. Rebecca was just like any other roommate, really. She took his stuff without asking, ate all the cereal, moved things and forgot where she put them, and sang annoying songs around the apartment. The only obvious difference between Rebecca and everyone else was that Rebecca had been dead for two years. And she couldn't remember how she died. As the two roommates delve into the mysteries of their own pasts, they discover that answers may not be as distant as they originally seemed. Completed! Highest: #311 in Paranormal

HFJONE starvation AU by Airy45

Will they win, or will their hunger take over? 18 objects. 12 stomachs to feed. 1 "prize." No food. Many characters from ONE including favorites such as Liam, Bryce, and Amelia fight to survive in a competition created by Airy, a competition that contains no food, a competition that forces them to commit to the lifestyle of something they never wanted to be. The question is... Will they win? Or will their hunger take over? COMIC EDITION: The comic is written and drawn on Webtoon, and here too! :) CONFIRMATION: One but I add hunger and also more injures. Also perma-death after a certain point. perma-death means that they can still use the radio but airy cannot respawn anybody. To explain how each batch gets hungry: Batch 3 does not need to eat, batch 2 needs to eat only once every- like- 3 months, batch 1 needs to eat like a human does. FORMATION OF THE IDEA: I was talking about ONE to someone when I realized, do they have to eat in ONE? There are scenes where Liam is eating breakfast and Charlotte is cutting carrots but it's never said if they NEED to eat. They're seen on the plane without any food for over seven months. So I got the brilliant idea to make them get hungry and likely have some characters resort to other sources of food! This is where that one question came from on this quiz that I made: https://uquiz.com/quiz/9bsREU/what-hfjone-character-are-you-most-like-not-accurate WARNINGS: hfjone spoilers, starvation, cannibalism, blood, gore, vomiting, death, infections, poison, hallucinations, memory loss, one-sided relationships, derealisation, hanging, knives, su!c!d3, depression, mild language (Most of the bloody and gory stuff is explained in great detail, oops) And I now realize that most people cannot read my story becuase of the warnings, sorry about that!

Afterlife: Oblivion #Wattys2024 by astronomist

You die. Game over? Not quite. Welcome to the Afterlife Crucible. Every millennium, lost souls battle for a second shot at life. Forget everything you thought you knew about the afterlife. It's not pearly gates and harps - it's a ruthless gauntlet dreamed up by bored gods with a sick sense of humour. Your regrets become weapons, your sins are armour, and your secrets? Just ammo for your rivals. This is a no-holds-barred war where only the most devious spirits get to breathe again. You'll face nightmares that make Hell look like Disneyland, and opponents who'd sell their own mothers for a chance to win. Ready to fight for your life... after death? I sure as hell wasn't. There I was, barely keeping my head above water, when some prick decided to punch my ticket early. But let's face it - my chances of winning are slimmer than my ex's conscience. Who am I? Jane Doe. Just another dead girl in a sea of corpses... a junkie, a fuckup, a waste of oxygen. Or so I thought...
