All Stephanie wants is to look cool in trendy bars.
All LP wants is for the universe to stop collapsing.
Annoyingly for LP, Stephanie might be the only person who can help.
I can explain this book as a list of questions:
Why is there a poetry book from another universe in the college library?
Was there a universe before this one? And did any part of it survive?
Why is granddad's hot chocolate recipe so important to all of this?
Is there an afterlife?
Is time real?
What is love?

TO BE RELEASED AS A FULL-LENGTH NOVEL IN 2022/2023
[Open to tradpub offers, though I am enjoying some success with previous selfpub projects, so if I can't find an offer I like, this book will be self-published]
SPECIAL THANKS
I am finally at a point where I am getting a steady trickle of sales for Who Built The Humans?, the ridiculous sister multiverse to The Stephanie Glitch, so I now have the time to dive back into this universe.
I want to thank everyone who is buying and talking about Who Built The Humans? because without you, I wouldn't have the time to get back into writing with Stephanie. I have missed her terribly.

A Series of Embarrassing Monsters
Abandoned by the famous novelist who gave birth to her, Evangeline grows up near a disused theme park where ballet is taught from the ballroom of a crumbling castle. The teen years of a misunderstood artistic genius are tough. Early experiences quash her dreams of becoming a writer, and she only manages to earn a few crumbs of approval after she pivots to ballet. Too bad they come from her smart-ass competitor, Miskomin. On her rise from mediocrity, Evangeline is thrilled when Magda, the artistic director of a contemporary dance company in need of a sixth dancer, lays claim to the park. But things go awry as Magda attempts to rewrite Evangeline's entire world. To further complicate things, Evangeline's sporadic forays into story writing bring her inner demons to life. Literally. While contending with her monstrous off-spring; navigating an ever-shifting relationship with her frenemy, Miskomin; and adjusting to life under the power of a vampiric task-master, Evangeline gains the self-knowledge and confidence she needs to face the final boss: Herself. She must learn to look beyond the artist she wants to be and accept the person she is. *A Series of Embarrassing Monsters is a solid first draft which will eventually be replaced by a stronger, more concise manuscript.*Complete

Quick Wear: Child Bearing System
After dying in a tragic accident while heroically saving a student, teacher Harriet expects peace or at least, a chance at a new life. Instead, she awakens in a void, silent and pitch black... until a mechanical voice echoes in the dark. [Hello. I am the Childbearing System. Would you like to bear the heirs of the Son of Heaven across dimensions?] Confused and outraged, Harriet demands to know what's going on. She's single. She's never even had a boyfriend. But when she's told that refusal means her soul will vanish forever, her choices suddenly narrow. With no way out, Harriet accepts her fate and the darkness shatters into a dazzling starlit space. Her guide, System 227, explains: as a reward for her noble sacrifice, the Higher-Ups have granted her a unique purpose. Across countless worlds, powerful rulers the Sons of Heaven face extinction without heirs. Harriet must step into each world, take on a new identity, and ensure these legacies continue. The catch? Every world has its own rules, dangers, and challenges. From cold emperors and warlords to lonely immortals and cursed princes to emotionally damage CEO, Harriet's "partners" aren't exactly the easiest to handle. Armed with a strong will, a stubborn heart, and a system that insists on throwing her into chaotic romantic entanglements, Harriet embarks on a journey of survival, identity, and unexpected affection. But how many worlds must she conquer before she's free? And what happens when one of these so-called "missions" becomes something far more real?

Hidden Poetry
A world of poems captured in a single book, written by a girl who played every role: the academic achiever, the loyal friend, the eldest daughter, and more. She was always the one chosen for the top rank, yet she was never the one chosen by love. This collection is a bridge across the years, composed of verses that trace a haunting evolution where the innocent wonders of childhood slowly sharpen into the cold realizations of the real world. Yours truly, RosePoet (Note: These entries are not arranged in chronological order; however, I have included dates to serve as a guide to navigate the journey through time.)

Primed: A Kayla Madison Story
Kayla Madison is a normal-ish sixteen-year old whose main desire is simple-make it through high school without embarrassing herself too much in the process. It doesn't help that she's being followed by dark figures no one else sees. When a man with incredible speed, unbelievable power, strange old-fashion clothes, and an obnoxious personality threatens her life, she discovers she is a rare "two-worlder" -a person with one parent from Earth and the other from Earth Prime. She escapes another attack by jumping through a portal to the alternate dimension, much to the chagrin of her protector. As if managing without electricity, cars, and phones on the more Edwardian world weren't enough stress; she finally meets her long-absent father, a scientist in the top-secret field of Trans-Dimensional Travel. Things get more complicated when she realizes her best friend's father, or rather the Earth Prime version of him, might have been the person that orchestrated the assaults. ___ Thanks for reading! I've been working on this story for quite a while and have drafts for a five book series. I would love feedback on what I can do to make it a stronger story. If there are things you enjoy, let me know (so I don't change those parts.) :) All portions of the story have been submitted and final chapters will visible by Nov 18, 2023. Among other degrees, I have my MFA in creative writing. I am a science teacher when I am not writing.Complete![A Link To The Past [Nikke x Legendary Commander]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/372243937-256-k536039.jpg)
A Link To The Past [Nikke x Legendary Commander]
Humanity once stood on the top of the world. They ruled the planet with an iron grip. Their rise in technology, industry, engineering, and science were quickly growing. However, an invasion on a worldwide scale had occurred in late 2023. Though there were initial successes in repelling these unknown, mechanical entities. They would eventually start to gain ground through quick adoption of newer variants of their beings and adjusting to counter common military tactics. However, more was needed, so came the introduction of Nikkes, an experimental female soldier that would be the first cybernetic frontline soldier. Even though there were attempts of converting males to such a task, they would become unsuccessful, as it was found out that males were more susceptible to cognitive dissonance and suicide. And so, females ranging from 18 to 30 years of age would remain the main source of Nikkes. As the war raged on, more variants of Nikkes would reinforce or replace the quickly diminishing forces of the world. There would be a significant breakthrough in the Nikkes, with the introduction of the Grimm models of Nikkes. Five Nikkes would be produced by a now defunct company. This squad would be called Goddess. They would be commanded by a special forces Captain Nicholas Miller, and through their first missions, they would further prove the effectiveness of specialized Nikkes and even push the Raptures back some. However, even their efforts would not be enough to stop the tithe of Raptures from encompassing Europe. After many years of fighting, there was one last desperate defense of a structure known as the Ark. Unfortunately, humanity would end up underground where they would spend the next 5 centuries fighting the raptures in smaller scale battles, skirmishes, and special operations. All while the fates of Goddess squad and the now legendary Captain Nicholas Miller had remained a mystery.Complete
