My first attempt at a full story, almost of novel length. I've been working on it since 2008, and will be uploading on here each chapter as I work through them.
The synoposis (what would go on the back cover of the book):
'I am Paul Gogarty, and I am a boy attempting to be a man. I am a grumpy 'young person', born around thirty years after my due date, whom is slowly leaving his teen years behind. I am, as three wise men once said, a walking contradiction, and one who is sick of proof-reading other people's life stories whilst mine plods along with all the literary nous of a U-grade English essay. It's time for me to grab life by the scruff of the neck, slam it up against a brick wall, and demand that it start going somewhere and that I make something of it...and you never know, I might just find out what the big fuss is around this whole 'love' malarky...'

"It didn't have to be this way"
There is a world out there where I could have been happy. Where we could have been friends, and you could have benefited from what I know. Unfortunately, we don't live there. This is not a romance novel. Do not think this is a romance. Not all mobile devices will be able to show all the text accurately, as I use fonts as a conveyer of mental health. Warning Every warning you can think of. There will be gore rape torture and what is worse. Also, I make stories by writing the story plot and everything, and rewriting it to fit in the small details. The chapters all the final ones but the story itself has been finished.
The Odd Trio (Boy x Fem Reader)
The main character for this story will be a mythical species known as a synx. Your most used form being a more human like body but with the tail and ears poking out (yes like a cat girl ik its cringe) but your main beastly form being the full package of a synx. I thought the Synx species would be cool in this case cause they're known for eating kids and with the twins being protecters against demons i thought it would be interesting to have you try to go against your urges and instead help the twins but not be given their trust right away. Also yes I do plan on writing some spicy lemon stuff sooner or later but i wanna build up to that first. Btw I doubt these characters actually have names. It might be the same scenario with bf and gf idk but ill give them names sooner or later to at least put something down. Also Apperently the boy, if I'm not wrong, he has a thick brooklyn accent that i will have to write in dialogue but um...im gonna need help from you guys cause idk what that sounds like or how to write that. The girl had light british accent so its seems I wont have to focus to much on that. Btw DO NOT make me write them banging eachother theyre siblings for god sake and Apperently deities. Also I know these characters are like...asexual I think but hey if people write fanfics of whitty i dont see why im not able to bend the rules a bit to make a lemon scene work cause I know yall be like that dont lie. Also for the Synx part of the character you can imagine what ever you would look like as a synx, you wanna be fully white, have a pattern, have horns imagine all that go for it. Also I will be trying to introduce these characters together and after that I will take requests from people with ideas on what scenario should happen next. Btw yes I know that synx's dont have sex too repopulate nor do they have genders but shhhhhh im gonna make you a girl cause magic shhh ;) also im not the creator of this mod or the characters but I did make this cover.Complete
"ReWrite" (Season 1)
[Nine Lives of Deity] an unpublished novel, rejected by many publishing companies I've been, I give up and also labeled it as the worst novel I wrote. I died before I could rewrite the novel and regretted it on my last breath. however, when I opened my eyes, I found myself inside a different body, with a new name, inside a new world There I discovered I was inside the 'worst novel' and met 'Zyren' who is the main character of the story. The world I am standing in right now showed me many things that I have never experienced in my life on earth. So, I, Sonata decided to rewrite the novel with my own life. making the worst to greatest story I have written. Would I succeed? or would I discover something more to this world. Who Knows.Complete
The pickpocket and the billionaire
I was supposed to be good at my job. 'Supposed to be' being the key words here. Instead I got caught, and therefor I had to live with the most infuriating man. Unfortunately this man intrigued me to no end, and I wanted to get to know him. The only way I knew how to, was to seduce him. So I did. If only I'd known the consequences of letting a man truly fall for you... 18+ __________________________________________________________ Warning! Personally I think this started of well. I liked the idea at the beginning and then I got a little lost and tired. Basically, I don't like at least 2/3 of this story. So don't tell me how crappy it is, because I know. Trust me. There's a lot of mistakes, a bunch of illogic events and an abrupt ending. Read at your own risk and strictly for fun. Don't expect a literary masterpiece. I believe my other (current) works (in development) are much better. I just don't have a lot of time to show you.Complete
Freedom from Within
This is my first attempt at writing a longer story. Here are few things about this novelette: - A novelette stands between a short story and a novella (7, 500- 17,500 words). - This story is not edited, so expect mistakes. - The story has explicit and mature contents. - As part of my "trademark," the story deals with love and loss. Expect drama! - The story is written in a nonlinear way. - I almost forgot; this is a lesbian story. If in any way you find it disgusting, you're free to bounce, yo! (In Jesse Pinkman's voice) - This is fiction. Question me and I will put you in here just to kill you, Game of Thrones style. Lol - © ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Let's just support each other. Peace out! How does one make music using broken strings? Discover the powers and dangers of love in this mixture of clichés, realities, and fiction about love, loss, pain, depression, and survival. I have lived in a dark cage. I have torn every page. I have not known light; I think I lost my flight. Please come and rescue me; Whoever hears me! Help liberate this heart And show me love they call art.Complete
Maybe
An internal voice whispered, "Call him." But I chose not to. I dismissed it once more, saying, "He never liked me anyway." Yet the dilemma lingered. "But maybe he does. The way he looks at you... it's different." Out of nowhere, he glanced my way. My heartbeat quickened, sending shivers down my spine. I averted my gaze, pretending to look around. "Has he noticed me? No, wait-oh my god." --- After switching high schools, Nina discovered a new way of life. She fell in love, made wonderful friends, and everything seemed perfect. But Ethan-a popular boy who never focused on anyone but her-was the object of her hatred. He was always there, always keeping her safe. He used to annoy her endlessly. She hated him deeply. Until she didn't. For a while, she was content with her high school experience. That is, until something mysterious turned her world upside down. Forced to move to a new city, Nina had to cut ties with everyone she once knew. Eight years later, fate brings her face-to-face with him again. "Ethan..." He's the key to everything-the truths she never knew. When she was lost in the dark, he always held the light. But now, things are different. She despises him. He's colder than ever. Or perhaps she fears him. Fears that he'll leave her again. Will their lives ever return to normal after everything they've endured? "Maybe?" "Maybe yes. Maybe no?" --- Started: 8 November 2021 Ended: 19 December 2022 Rewritten: December 2024 --- ### Rankings Goals So Far: #1 Adolescente #1 given up #1 blinddates #1 pretend #10 twistedromance #50 high school romance --- ### Notice: This is my first published story, and it contains numerous grammatical errors and bad editing.

Living With Her
Hey there! My name is France Singleton. I'm 27, Single (If I may say...), Male (of course), Black hair, Gray eyes, fair skin, hot body, filthy rich (I don't think that's a factor), GPA of 3.8 (I'm proud of it!), likes to party, likes to drink, but most of all likes girls. But hell, girls like me more!! So, you think I'm having the time of my life? Yeah I am. I was preparing to get my Masters degree--along with some distraction along the side, can you blame me?--when my mother suddenly paid me a visit to tell that I'll be living with a girl...yes a girl! Her threat scared me, but what scared me the most was imagining what kind of girl am I going to live with for the time being. But you never know who I met at the door, the day 'she' came. Want to see how my perfect life was invaded by a woman along with my annoying subconscious? Then read on! Oh and if there're some girls looking for some good time, let me know! France signing off--for now ;) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The author here! :) This story is R-17. Not PG-17, R-17! It might contain some wild imaginations, dreams or actions from France's mind so beware (ugh..men!). So if you're this kind of person who is so innocent, never ever broken a plate or whatever in the kitchen, I suggest you avert your eyes. But of course if you're still going to read it then fine, go on. You have your agency but remember that you have a responsibility for that agency. So yeah, read or not read it's up to you!! And please, a reminder, PLAGIARISM is bad. Avoid it as much as possible. It hurts people who loves and spent precious time in their works. Our stories are our babies, so please let's discourage such act. But anyway, hope you'll like this little story of France's encounter with...well, her.Complete
Two Scenes & A Lifetime Contract
So transmigration into a novel is real. Fantastic. But instead of waking up as the dazzling heroine or the cunning villainess... I got stuck as the cannon fodder side character. The one who showed up twice and died in a single sentence. Two scenes. One line of death. That's my entire legacy. Even the villainess gets more respect than me. Well, not this time. I refused to play. I got a second chance, and I'm taking it all- the story, the characters, and the author can choke on their own plot. _ [Under Major Editing].
