Emma Myers has always known how to act... but never in her own life.
Between her rising acting career and the pressure of Hollywood, she has always managed to avoid awkward questions about her love life. But when yet another family dinner highlights her persistent single status, she finds herself trapped.
In a moment of panic (and under the pressure of her overly curious sisters), she makes an impulsive decision: to hire a girlfriend to keep up appearances.
This is where Lyse steps in-a charismatic and unpredictable film student who knows her role like the back of her hand. Perhaps a little too well.
What was supposed to be a temporary charade quickly turns into a far-too-convincing lie. Between family dinners, media suspicions, and a troubling chemistry that blurs the lines, Emma realizes that she might be finding it harder than ever to act.
And in the end, she wonders if she's no longer entirely sure what's real and what's not.

Becoming Rory
As Rory Bradford, a twenty-four year old woman who had been previously known for her incredible problem solving skills, found herself making the biggest decision of her life, she discovered that she wasn't particularly good at solving her own problems. On one hand, there was the man that she was engaged to; Noah Cadwell, who checked all the boxes on the 'man-of-her-dreams' list. Sadly, as she realized only days before the wedding, they weren't able to connect romantically, their relationship purely platonic from her end. However, this train of thought was only one sided. Noah, being oblivious to the doubts Rory had been having, thought that their wedding was going to be the best day of their lives. Clearly, he was mistaken. On the other hand, there was Sadie Copeland, a co-worker of Rory's at the law firm. She was the complete opposite of Rory. Where Rory loved planning, Sadie lived for spontaneity. She was the opposite of what Rory was looking for, including the fact that she was a woman. So, after feeling a whole new range of emotions and desires with a woman that she had never felt with a man, Rory was forced to reevaluate her sexuality, which she had never allowed herself to question. Rory couldn't help but wonder if she had accidentally found the woman of her dreams. So, when the identity that Rory had previously worn as a badge of honour began to crumble, she became determined to discover who she truly wanted to be. With the help of Sadie, she hoped that she could finally become Rory. [ cover by the talented @queen_of_sass ]Complete

Driven to Distraction
Alex Thompson was due to marry her high school sweet heart Eric Ramirez. Period. That's it. It's about as exciting as her life ever got really. She had a job, a good job but an unconscious reality was that she was bored. She had her back blown out once every three months, if that, and an overbearing mother who made her life hell. *enter Mitch* Eve 'Mitch' Mitchell. An outgoing, strong minded, independent, raging homosexual, lover to all, charming British soul. They meet by accident after a tough day at the office for Alex. A mistaken identity was all it took for a tiny little kiss. A moment blown all out of proportion for the Christian-bred Miss Thompson and her life turns more miserable than she anticipated for every time she turned around...Mitch was there behind her. Something about Mitch was new and fresh and her soul was just what Alex needed (little did she know). Secrets from the past are brought to the surface. A sad ending to a young lady's life. A realisation that family isn't always blood related. Alcohol isn't a medicine. Violence isn't a key. Hearts were never meant to be broken. Two things to take away: you never know what is going on in someone's head and the most important thing...you never know what happens behind closed doors. A/N just a random story about two people who meet accidentally. Plays with gender norms and very inclusive of LGBTQ (being a member myself). Could be triggering I'm not sure as some identity questions are thrown around. It does include smoking, drinking, some homophobia, profanities, violence and smut. Also anything in brackets with A/N means authors note and that's just me leaving a little comment. Enjoy...Complete

Shoelaces
[ SHOELACES: A NON-LINEAR LOVE STORY ] [ COMPLETED - 81K WORDS ] [ 2021 WATTYS SHORTLIST ] Darrion Gubart thinks he's a loser, a loner, a musical theatre nerd, a math addict, and almost anything else except for the main character. As a high school senior, he can hardly hold in his excitement to move off to a prestigious college and start a new life for himself. That is if he gets in, of course, with the constant swirl of doubt and anxiety swirling in his mind. Luckily, he has his one friend, Jazmine Lockart, who cares for him along the way. The only issue is Jazmine would rather party with her soccer team than spend a night with Darrion watching Dance Mom Compilations (though, she loves him enough to do just that). Darrion has a relatively supportive family too. Emphasis on the "relatively," for almost everybody except his family knows that Darrion likes boys. But Darrion loves them, so he decides to ignore that small piece of information and focus on the good aspects, like their weekly board games nights. Truthfully, Darrion has almost made the fact he likes boys a side note in his own life, mainly because of the lack of first-hand experience to which he can refer. Well, that's until he meets Santiago de Rosa, the man of Darrion's dreams (to put it simply). And, for the first time in Darrion's life, things seem to be looking up. Well, that's until somebody dies.Complete
Behind the Letters
It was supposed to be anonymous. Just some harmless, late-night messeges on a forum. No names. No photos. No real-life complications. She was GoldTrap-mysterious, sharp, and way too good with words. I was BlueInk-awkward, sarcastic, and definitely not looking for anything. But then she made me laugh. Then she made me think. Then... she made me feel things I really shouldn't be feeling for someone I've never met. I'm Quinn. Twenty-four. Screenwriter-in-training. Emotionally a little chaotic and basically there no reason an amazing woman like her would be falling for someone like me. I've played a lot of roles in my life. But never this one. ----------------------------------------------- Late at night, I started writing letters to a stranger on a private forum-just to feel something real. She calls herself BlueInk. She's young, clever, infuriatingly honest... and somehow, she sees right through me. She doesn't know I'm Juliette Delaney-Hollywood's favorite ice queen with a face on every magazine and a life that doesn't belong to me anymore. She doesn't know that when I type, my hands shake. That when I read her replies, I smile. That I'm craving her words more than I've ever craved the spotlight. And I don't know what will happen if she finds out who I am. Because if I tell her the truth, I might lose the one person who loves me for who I really am. Not the icon. Not the actress. Just... me. But if I don't? I'll never get to feel her say my name out loud.Complete
