Have you ever wondered why certain literary works, rich in political overtones, earn the prestigious Nobel Prize while the heart of a culture often goes unnoticed? Breaking Boundaries in Literature: The Nobel Prize and Korea's Untold Stories invites you to dive deep into this intriguing paradox. We'll peel back the layers of acclaimed narratives and explore the emotional landscapes of a divided nation. Through thought-provoking insights, we'll question the essence of literary merit and the political currents that shape it. This isn't just about awards; it's about the stories that deserve to be told, even if they clash with popular narratives.

As the narrative unfolds, our protagonist embarks on a journey where the boundaries of reality blur, confronting events steeped in the complexities of parallel universes and quantum mechanics. In this exploration, they grapple with the idea that absolute truth may not exist, revealing instead a tapestry of interpretations and perspectives. The journey is not merely a physical one but a deep intellectual quest, challenging the very foundations of understanding, identity, and the multifaceted nature of human experience. In a world that often silences the unheard, our protagonist seeks to uncover the layers of meaning hidden within the chaos, inviting readers to ponder the fragility of narratives and the power of diverse voices."

A story of a girl who gave up on her dreams, because of bullying. She was belittled, underestimated, underappreciated... All she wants at her current young age, after giving up on her dreams, is to fulfill her dream of meeting her favourite Korean boy band PCxM or at least attending one of their concerts in Korea, as she knows they will not hold a concert in her country soon. What happens next will change her life. No, not what you think. She will become their... Is what happens with her sheer luck or the result of hard work? She was quick-witted, got a grasp of why he was trying to get closer to her more and more. She liked that feeling of being taken care of, the special treatment one gets when they're liked by someone. This special treatment is the transitional stage from being friends or close friends to becoming more than just close friends. The unjustified jealousy, the caring for the daily schedule of their love, picking them up from places, the reasonless nonstop texting, helping their loved, making themselves available always even if they're busy, hanging out with them frequently... She felt she was using him, but she wasn't the one to drown him in love with her. She didn't seduce him, so she acted clueless and continued being herself with him and with everyone else to enjoy this feeling and treatment. Wandering together, he wondered: "Why are single up till now? I'm sure many men tried to court you, including rich men of course." Agitated, she stated sarcastically: "Do you know? I've always hated in Korean, or other countries series and stories, the typical plot of a rich man falling for a poor girl. Why can't she be something for her own good and then she can marry whoever she wants, but of course if she loves him without the money involved?! It's annoying how people think that all a girl needs is makeup and money with a handsome man indeed! I just need to achieve my dreams and they are many, but, indeed, marrying a rich handsome man isn't included."

9 parts Ongoing Mature
Some encounters have the power to change lives, forge deep bonds, spark fierce conflicts, or create connections that last a lifetime. Family? It's what you're willing to protect at any cost. Pride? Jealousy? Subtle shadows that infiltrate everyday life. Love? It's a promise of absolute devotion, stretching beyond death. "You'll never be able to forget our past." "But you managed to bury it long ago." Two people who grew up together, sharing unforgettable memories and moments, now see each other as strangers. While one has forgotten their shared past, the other, fully aware of their history, strives to conceal the knowledge, pretending there was never any connection. But in a twist of fate, the arrogant boy comes to see in the girl not just a profound love, but an essential presence in his life. The girl, once seeking only adventures, reconsiders her priorities, willing to leave behind everything she once held dear to be with him. Do you really want to abandon all your memories and past connections to move towards a future that you know won't bring the fulfillment you desire? Even if the future looks promising, you can't risk everything for something so uncertain. Everything gets complicated when circumstances demand immense sacrifices. His need to protect her from the dangers of his illegal activities turns time into an emotional hell, deepening the pain through his desire to stay together forever, despite reality showing that it's no longer possible. The question remains: can someone overcome the pain of losing their deepest love? Can painful actions turn love into hate, erasing the memories and feelings that once defined their relationship? "Sadly, sometimes it's too late. That's the thing about time: we can't get it back."

Does your story & writing shine as far as: ★ - Concept ★ - Voice ★ - Storytelling The Standouts is a fun, but hopefully helpful contest that can give you a sense of whether your story resonates with someone who's got some experience under her belt. Great! But who are you to judge? Fair question. This is not to humble-brag, but I've been critiquing and have worked with story development for quite some time, and I've picked up a lot along the way. ☙ - As an Ambassador, I work on content projects. ☙ - If you look at my profile, you'll see everything I've published so far has managed to standout in one way or another, whether by leading me to become a Wattpad Star; or by winning a Watty (twice!); or by being picked as a Top 10 in major Wattpad contests (twice!); or being featured. All I'm saying is I'm no slouch. I'm not brilliant either. But I've got some experience around what can catch an agent, editor, or judge's eye, and I'd like to share that with the community. ☙ - In another lifetime, I used to work for HBO in Development and at ICM (the talent agency) in their writers' department which means I understand how professionals quickly gauge whether or not they'll take a closer look at a work and/or make an offer. This kind of insight can be helpful if you're planning to submit your work or even just want to stand out more here on Wattpad. ☙ - I used to provide critiques for three writers, all of them traditionally published. They seemed to value my insight. Read the RULES, LOGISTICS & PRIZES chapter for guidelines. All entries get a brief assessment of their first chapter, with winners getting more extensive critiques.

American Impostor by Criques
8 parts Complete
This is a memoir about my life between 2015 and 2020, where I was part of an international crime ring and my subsequent arrest and imprisonment in a 3rd world country. Here's the synopsis: When I was 27, I started taking American and British University entrance exams for foreign nationals for money. I worked with an agency that paid for my flights, my accommodation, and sent me a forged passport to gain entry to the exams. I was paid a lot per exam. I had an advantage over other test-takers-- English was my native language and I could travel to countries that were inaccessible to others with my American passport. I was able to score perfect on the exams I took, but on some tests like the GRE, I would under-score on purpose to avoid detection. I used the money to travel the world and live the life I'd always dreamed of. I'd never enjoyed my home city of Chicago due to perceptions of my race, and I'd found that I was much happier abroad. I lived and learned about the world and myself in Tokyo, Shanghai, Bangkok, Seoul, Hong Kong, Paris, Berlin, Cairo, Istanbul, and more. Those were the best years of my life. When I was 30, the ACT sent a detective team to hunt me down in Thailand. I was sentenced to 18 months in prison. I started writing this memoir wedged between hot bodies on a makeshift pencil made from rubber bands and lead. We lived in overcrowded prisons where we slept on top of each other, often sharing parasites. The food was just leftover parts of animals that the prison could buy cheaply: pig fat with the bristles still connected, chicken heads and feet. AMERICAN IMPOSTOR is about identity, media, justice, and is completed to its first draft.
