"There's no denying it-either I'm hallucinating or Cole Winton is standing on my porch."

Jamie is used to putting pen to paper. She's been doing it for years, and has a slew of novels to show for it. For the most part, she's left alone to write which is what she prefers. 

But this is the first time someone has knocked on her door, insisting they are one of her characters. This is the first time someone demands to know how she knows what she does, declaring it treason.

Armed with only her pen, her notebook, and her cat, Inkwell, she finds out just how much of their own lives her characters have taken on outside of her novels.

The young widow Rebecca must choose between her old love or the chance of a new beginning. ** "You're still here When I close my eyes I still see you I still feel you And we'll never be apart You're still here Still here in my heart" - Natasha Bedingfield - Rebecca and Aiden live a perfect love story - until a plane crash ends their happily ever after. Overwhelmed by grief and the loss of the love of her life, Rebecca reaches for her cell phone in a moment of despair and writes a message to Aiden's old number. To her great shock, she receives a reply with Aiden's typical vow of love: "Forever yours." Touched by the comforting messages, Rebecca soon clings to this mysterious connection to her deceased husband. It is only when she meets Ian, another mourner, at a grief therapy session that she slowly begins to open up to life again. But while Ian tries to help Rebecca escape her grief, his desperate attempts collide with the mysterious messages of a past that Rebecca simply can't - or won't - let go of. Will Rebecca find the courage to fall in love again, or will she remain trapped in her longing for Aiden and continue to cling to the messages from the afterlife?

Rise To Fame by Anon_05123
30 parts Complete Mature
"Jamie," I say in a low voice. "Please move out the way." "Look, I'm sorry, okay? I was just messing around, you know that." "Please move," I say again. "Look at me. I'm just joking-" My fist flies forward and connects with his nose before I can comprehend it happening. "Ow! Fuck, y/n!" He covers his nose with his hand as the blood starts to pour, and I take my chance to run out of the bathroom. You've always admired him for his work, but his arrogance grows persisting and irritating. So when he asks you on a date, you decide to have a little fun with him. But you find he's hiding something. Soon enough, you're in too deep and your feelings start to change. Deals with mature themes so will put trigger warnings at the start of sensitive chapters. Will be published in chunks rather than all at once.

As I said, I'll provide everything for you." He turned to look at me. I nodded. "You know you didn't really give me a choice by making that payment already Mr. Tipton." I spoke. He walked over to face me with a smirk. "That was the point. It got you here didn't it? And please Kaydence, call me Damon." "You're point was to get me here to get me into a forced agreement?"

Skye and the City (A Romantic Comedy) by Pollyf79
26 parts Complete Mature
Skye Templeton is sick of living in a small village in the Scottish Highlands where everyone knows every single little thing about her. She's tired of her dead-end "situationship". She desperately needs to escape . . . So when a chance encounter opens her eyes to the possibility of a different life, she decides it's time to shake things up a bit. Moving to Glasgow on a whim probably isn't her smartest idea, but Skye is determined to make the most of her new life. Unfortunately, life doesn't always work out the way you planned . . . Especially if you didn't really have a plan in the first place! ~~~~~~~~ I initially started this story with the intention of entering it into the Open Novella Contest this year - I've since found out that it wouldn't qualify but I'm still using one of the prompts all the same! The prompt I'm using is: Prompt 45- "Keep your happily ever after; it ain't mine." And, much like Skye, I really don't have a plan for it yet, so let's just see what unfolds! ;-)
