A random assortment of short stories inspired by writing prompts found on various platforms. Each story is it's own contained little narrative, so everything here is complete.

My Short Stories (NaLu) by Nalulife01

This book will be a collection of short stories which I write when I have no other ideas. Some of my ideas will come from writing prompts that others have thought up and I will be crediting them for the ideas when I use their ideas. Unless I state the place I got the Idea from It will then be my idea Most of the content in this book will be ideas that I don't believe that I could write a whole book on so I write a chapter for each. If anyone wants to try and write a whole book on it go ahead but make sure you give the right credits, to either me or where I got the writing prompt from. This book will not be updated regularly, though when it is you will be getting a whole new story. Each chapter is a new story and a whole new storyline. I hope you enjoy these cute short stories and thank you for reading. ----------------------------------- The main characters will be Natsu and Lucy and the rest of the Fairytail gang. So I do not own the characters, I only own the plot and storyline. The cover art is mine, so do not repost.

Mending Hearts ✔️ by breebaqbooks

Hello fam! This book will consist of Snowbarry one-shots. I will have several parts to most of the one-shots simply because I'm more used to writing long SB stories. I am looking forward to writing fun and creative content for all of you. This is a new writing style for me and I really excited to develop all of these different type of stories for you all. Happy readings FlashFrost/ Snowbarry fans! ♥️ With love always, Bree.

The Fairest (Book #1) - First 3 Chapters by GoldFantasy

First 3 Chapters Are you Fair or Strange? Be careful which one you choose. A prophecy was given to the Realm of Valeera, but only one kingdom took heed of it and set forth a law that would divide the people into two groups. The Fair and the Strange. One group possesses a promise of peace while the other is doomed for eternity. Well, that's what the people believed... Born with purple eyes, 18-year-old Mageia Unknown knows one thing, if she's ever caught, she could be executed because of it. Being the leader of a group of Strange youths living on the outskirts of the Kingdom of Ardania, she makes it her duty to take care of her family, no matter the cost. But when an act of heroism goes wrong, she discovers her fate is entwined with a prophecy that may force her to sacrifice everything she loves and believes in. 18-year-old Grisonce Arlon is not the most respected prince in the kingdom. Despite his defect that taints the royal bloodline, he is urged to find a wife to be accepted by other Fairs. But his interests lie in something far greater. When his obsession with the Fairest Prophecy intervenes with the case of the one called the Purple Thief, it reveals a possible dark threat lurking within the palace involving a most hated rival. Will he be willing to sacrifice everything for the purple-eyed beauty even if it may be his life? Received an Honorable Mention Award from The BookFest Fall 2023 Contest. Published on August 1, 2024 - Now available in digital and print. Join my email list to be updated on everything Fairest related.

30 Days, 30 Stories: A Writing Challenge by stvnlra

This is a 30 day writing challenge, a collection of short stories. I've always been a world class procrastinator. The goal of this challenge is to get me writing regularly and, hopefully, break me of the perfectionist thinking that often paralyses me. The Rules: 1. Write and publish 1 short story (flash fic, vignette) per day for 30 days. 2. Stories must be at least 100 words. 3. They can be of any genre or subject matter. Like a lot of writers I have notebooks lying around full of random story ideas. Most of my older ideas are for novels and screenplays. Been going thru my old ideas and picking out the ones I think lend themselves to the short story format. I'm also working on coming up with NEW ideas that I can use here. Never been good at using prompts, but this is a good opportunity to experiment with those. All the stories here are original works written specifically for this challenge. They were written on the day they were published unless otherwise stated. Any similarities to other writers' work is purely coincidental. Thanks & enjoy! ~Laura, 20 Feb, 2018
