1800s bonanza joecartwright romance western

Do you ever wonder what it would have been like in the episode titled Forever of the classic western series, Bonanza, if Joe's wife, Alice had lived and she had the baby and her and Joe lived happily ever after? I definitely have and I wished the show explored Joe's life as a husband and father and not have him remain the single flirtatious ladies man that he was. (Not that I didn't love him like that, haha.) Well, here is my attempt at just that, my own written version of Forever that I have titled, Forever Reimagined. 

The story for the most part will contain almost exact dialogue from the original episode mixed in with my own original dialogue as a respect to the late and brilliant Michael Landon and his beautifully written script. So if you've seen the episode, then you'll recognize a lot of the dialogue and actions. I also added Adam into the story because I think it would have been wonderful if he had came to Joe's wedding. I also used some ideas from the made for TV Bonanza movie, The Return from 1995 and even added a twist with Joe's late brother, Hoss. (Hoss's death will remain in the story out of respect to Dan Blocker.) 

I very much enjoyed writing this story as it was my first ever Bonanza story I had ever written being a big fan of the show and also to give the series a bit of closure since it never had a proper ending. But I hope you enjoy. Keep in mind, I am in no way a professional writer, this was more of me letting my creative mind go free and have fun!

Hearts Of Rock by MelBrennan5

Hey guys, Mel here! Ten years ago this year (yes TEN!) I published my first novel direct to kindle. I've decided it's now time to jump on the Wattpad bandwagon, so I'm converting Hearts Of Rock and uploading it here for you all! Considering it's been ten years, I'm also having it re-edited and making some small changes along the way to help the flow of the story. I hope you love Cam and Madi's journey as much as I do! These characters are so very special to me. Cam and Madi hadn't seen or spoken to each other in over ten years. Their friendship was just an old memory. Now a famous rock star, Cameron didn't have time for love, nor the desire to find it. Freight Train had taken the world by storm and their North American tour was sold out. Then their agent decided that they needed a photographer on board. Madison has a successful business and a daughter to take care of in Brisbane, Australia. She didn't need the love of a man to be happy, but when the chance to work with the world famous rock band "Freight Train" was offered to her, she snapped it up. Everyone could use an all-expense paid American holiday. Neither of them expected to feel anything, but the sparks were flying. Could Madi break through Cam's heart of rock?

Dead Ahead: Soldier by BoneAgentLakoul

This is actually my first time making a story. Every criticism helps. The story later on will start to make less sense as it goes on, but hey! My story, my lore. By the way, there are some...lewdness and "romance" as the story goes on as well, I regret my life. Anyways, hope you enjoy and...yeah! This is actually originally set for me and my cousin, I made him obsessed with stories and he made me obsessed in writing. Karma comes fast. By the way, some parts are references or inspired by games, movies, or other books I've read. I'm not stealing other people's stuff, that's stealing and I do not condone such acts. Anyways, enjoy! (Update: I just received an amazing cover for...this book of mine. I do not deserve such artistic/editing talent such as this. Needless to say, the person who did this has my upmost gratitude. Unfortunately, all thanks I can do is a tribute character and a thanks in the description. Her name is "Camille" from what I've heard. Such an underrated editor/artist. I do not know her social media account, so this is a waste of time, but...still, thank you) (To those who has an attention span of an eagle, I have to discontinue both of my dead ahead books for: Reason 1: The plot is starting to sound a bit stupid, then again, I was a rookie on story making at the time. Reason 2: It doesn't align with the canonical chapters that started when Ray was at Japan. Reason 3: I'm thinking of remaking this though, with a better plot this time. Stay tuned, I guess. I will mark both books as completed, but make no mistake, it ends at a cliffhanger like every walking dead episodes after Negan.)

Two of Hearts || Suguru Niragi by KennyOnFire

** I do not own Alice in Borderland or any of the characters. I only own Daigo Kana. That being said, this story roughly follows the timeline of the Netflix show but may have moments that don't fully line up. As well, Niragi is not as much of an a-hole in this story (by that I mean he respects women... to a degree?). And in a final addition, this will carry on after where Season Two of the show ends in my interpretation on how the story could continue. ** As stated on other stories, I am horrible at writing synopses. Daigo Kana found herself wishing for a new life, one preferably like she had two years prior, where she was in school and in a happy relationship with her best friend Suguru Niragi. Now, she was struggling to get a proper job outside of retail and her current boyfriend, Haruka, wouldn't let her forget it. Her wish for a new life did come true - to an extent. Kana quickly found herself alone in Tokyo, forced to play a game to survive. It was there she met a man with a locker number on his wrist, and he brought her to paradise: a taken-over resort, The Beach. It is there she runs into both Haruka and Niragi On top of the games, she's trying to avoid the both of them, but Niragi seems to be everywhere. What happens when they finally start getting close again? As well, what do they do when the Ten of Hearts game suddenly shows up? And the Face Cards? Start Date: 1/30/2023 Finished: 3/12/2023

Real People Fiction by LadyofReylo

This is an experiment. I was tasked with writing an RPF about Adam Driver. I chose to make myself the other character, since I know myself and how I would react or talk to a famous person such as Mr. Driver. I hope to God he never reads this. This is a story about Adam wanting to understand fanfiction and he meet Joey, a woman who curates fanfiction for an online site, much like AO3. They meet and talk--and try to understand whether RPF or other forms of fanfic are dangerous to celebs. There is a connection between the two characters but no actual sex scenes. Happy ending, though, I doubt it would be that way in real life. Liberties I took: Mr. Driver is single. There is no mention of prior relationships. The name of the non-profit Joey works for does not exist. I have never worked for a non-profit nor curated fanfiction. I made up names and places in Brooklyn Heights. I have never been there. Real life things: I am a poet and have taught poetry. I teach writing now. All the information about my family is true. My birthday is November 19, same as Adam's. The photo on the cover is me a long time ago.

REVENGE ON MY UNFAITHFUL HUSBAND by leevi00

When I heard the cop's voice, I wondered if Micah would feel even a little sad about my death. He should, right? Could twenty years of feelings just vanish so easily? Micah's handsome face showed no trace of concern as he casually asked, "Just the wedding dress?" "Yes, for now it's only the dress. But she might be in danger. We can't rule out suicide. We found..." Before the cop could finish, Micah cut him off. "I don't know who reported this, but I know Ruby. She'd never kill herself. She's pulled stunts like this many times before. Don't waste your time playing along with her little rich girl games." The cop were surprised. They'd just gotten married yesterday, and here he was, not showing an ounce of worry for his wife.

This is not the cliché love at first sight story, but it will be very sweet. Updates:weekly.

Throwback Vol. #1 (Violent Faith) by MDStephens

In light of readers telling me how much they enjoyed the short story collection, "Strange Mutations (one man's trash)", I decided to dig deeper into that old, smelly trash-bin and see what else I could scrounge up. So, readers beware, I will be publishing a slew of old stories under what I decided to call- "The throwback series". I needed to find a way to segregate these stories from my current writing because what's presented here are some rough drafts that spawned from an amateur who was just beginning to dip his toe into the world of literature and didn't have the slightest clue what he was doing. But don't run off!!! As long as you don't expect a bestseller, and keep an open mind, you may be surprised to find something you enjoy about these twisted tales. I do this only because I find it fun to go back as see how much I've grown as a writer from where I started, and only hope you have fun with them as well. Just don't hold it against me. I'll think you'll find a big difference in prose and style if you check out some recent stories under my profile. So first in the Throwback line-up is... Violent Faith. He has his sloppy moments, but if you stick around long enough, he just might surprise you and occasionally knock one out of the park. The title of this novella pretty much covers the plot, so sorry, no description really necessary. I was inspired to write this story after reading Jon Krakauer's novel, "Under the banner of heaven", which was based on true events. My story, however, is completely fictional. It is not meant to be an attack on any certain person or religious group, although it may seem that way at times. I was just having fun. I'm well aware that most Mormons are not psychopaths. It was just a fun theme to play around with. All persons, places, and events are nothing more than my imagination and not to be taken seriously. If you knew me, you'd know I should never be taken seriously. Cheers!! your friend, M.D. Stephens
