Does the word ‘endometriosis’ make you want to stick a fork in your eye? No? Then perhaps this book isn’t for you. It’s funny, and (sometimes alarmingly) frank. It contains an impressive array of synonyms for ‘vagina’ and it’s certainly NSFW.

It’s about having a devil womb and a hot knife lodged in my shoulder. It’s about becoming blackly bitter and twisted in my infertility, and then slowly finding a way to untwist myself. It’s part memoir, part dark comedy, wrapped up loosely as a journal full of TMI and quirk.

Let me put it this way: If Helen Fielding and Marian Keyes were to go through IVF, and use Caitlin Moran as a surrogate, this book would be their baby.

Plus:

[SPOILER ALERT] It has a Happy Ending, in the form of a most delicious baby.

It’s called ‘The Underachieving Ovary’ and the 3rd draft is sitting at 96,000 words. It’s set in Jo’burg, but the themes (infertility, hope, eye-forking) are universal.

READ AT YOUR OWN RISK. I wouldn't be posting new chaps in here since I'll rewrite it from the very beginning. But if you guys like reading with a narcissistic fl then, might as well. Maine Tollison a beauty that's unparalleled by anyone. "Umm excuse me are you describing me?" Her beauty is just beyond words. And she knows it. "You know when you describe me it should be 'Maine Tollison who has pale pink hair with streaks of blue, fair skin, face that's super beautiful. In short a godde-- Hey! Are you listening?!" Being beautiful of course she will aim for the guy who is just like her, a handsomeness unparalleled by anyone and his name is Jake Colton but the problem is, they're not meant for each other. "You've already moved on from the beautiful me? How mean! Wait......, Are you talking about Jake Colton? Well I guess it's alright then" How'd she know this? It's all because she remembered her past life and that she's inside the novel and her role in this novel is to destroy his love with the main character. "You mean me being Margaret in my past life? Well it is a kind of sad life. But right now! I'm willing to take the rollercoaster of emotions!" And since she remembered her past life. Maine has other hobbies aside from being beautiful. "You mean my hobby about the piano? Oh! And also my hobby about having part-time job?! What, is that a bad thing?" This is the story about how an egoistic girl survived from middle school, to her friends, to her family, to her highschool and to her feelings.

MOTHERS by StephRose1201
33 parts Complete Mature
AMERICAN HORROR STORY meets THE HANDMAID'S TALE with a bit of WESTWORLD weaved in Four women, fresh out of a super secret governmental experiment, are dragged back into the laboratory where they lived--to save the world from the specimens they helped produce. ***** It's 2050, and the world--in particular the not-so-United States of America--has undergone a lot of changes. A dictator who refuses to relinquish his presidential power reigns over the country, and humans--especially women--see their rights diminished more and more each day. Some are forced to enter special programs to stay safe from men who seek to harm them, and others accept to be part of freaky experimental trials in back-alley labs for a bit of cash to pay the rent. Four women who participated in one such trial--one *actually* sanctioned by the US government--are coping with their new lives when a member of said lab comes to find them, to let them know that the experiment they participated in has gone awry... and they are the only ones who can help fix it all. *TRIGGER WARNING for gore, violence (especially towards women, but NOT domestic abuse), oppression (to women, mostly), explicit language, possible sexual situations inappropriate for readers under 18. PLEASE DO PROCEED WITH CAUTION.*
Shattered: An Embellished Memoir by VSCornier
17 parts Ongoing
Detailed Book 1 Outline: *Shattered*(working title) **Act 1: The Collapse** - Claire's life appears stable from the outside, but cracks are already forming in her marriage. Greg has grown distant, and Claire feels increasingly isolated. - The hacking begins-small at first, but it quickly escalates. Private messages and photos are leaked, and Claire becomes the target of relentless online bullying. - As she tries to cope, she perceives signs of Greg's affair. The potential betrayal shatters her already fragile sense of self, and Greg denies any involvement with anyone as well as her pain when confronted. **Act 2: Spiraling** - Claire's mental health deteriorates as the bullying and Greg's indifference leave her feeling utterly alone. - Theresa remains a steady presence, encouraging Claire to seek help, but Claire resists, feeling ashamed and unworthy. - A major incident-perhaps a confrontation with one of her online tormentors or a public humiliation-pushes Claire over the edge, and she admits herself to a mental health hospital. **Act 3: Awakening** - At the hospital, Claire begins the slow, painful process of confronting her emotions. She meets a fellow patient stuck in infidelity grief, which serves as a wake-up call for Claire. - Through therapy and introspection, Claire realizes that she cannot define herself by Greg's betrayal or the opinions of others. She begins to focus on herself for the first time in years. - The book ends with Claire leaving the hospital, a little stronger but still facing a world that feels hostile and overwhelming.

Heartbeat by anonymouslyrare
34 parts Complete Mature
This is not a love story. It is a descent. This book will drag you through obsession, control, fear, and the fragile hope that survives even in the most violent of cages. It will test your emotions, blur the lines between protection and possession, and force you to sit with discomfort you did not ask for but cannot look away from. You will feel anger. You will feel heartbreak. You may even catch yourself holding your breath while turning the page. Nothing here is soft. Nothing is safe. Every chapter tightens the grip, every choice has consequences, and every silence screams louder than words ever could. Power is abused. Love is distorted. Survival becomes an act of rebellion. This story does not promise comfort. If you are looking for a gentle romance, close this book now.
My lady- not! by choc0_0mallows

It was funny when I read other novels that portray people getting sucked out in a novel or an otome game. Until that happened to me. I wake up, groggy and feeling a bit heavy. My vision was yet to arrive when a sudden pain came from my stomach. And a child was born. From me. I don't know if I'll freak out and cry or just accept the fact that I died and was reborn. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Hey guys, oh and girls!!! Thanks for taking a chance to read my book!! You won't regret it, I promise! Anyways, all names and places or even events are pure FICTION and any similarities about people or events are just coincidences. My English is not that good, but you can still understand it so please bear with my grammatical errors and spellings. Thank you!!!!!

The Choices Being Made (Book #2, Choices series) by emmehnim1
25 parts Complete Mature
Book #2, Choices series. Not a stand alone unless you want to skip any "plot points." *** "Please hurry..." Polly begged. "Don't be greedy," Michael scolded. "Let him prepare you..." *** A 32 year old, single mother with little experience outside the world she built around herself. A younger man that rules his world on his terms with little room for compromise. And his friend and lover that challenges them to grant him access to both of their worlds, while simultaneously expanding their universes. Polly has been making some choices in the last several months that have lasting consequences. She must now decide how far she is willing to go and the level of commitment to have with two men ten years her junior. At the same time, she must deal with the fallout of those choices. **Mature content** Porn with a plot (although "plot" is being generous). This book won't appeal to everyone. Many kinks are explored - some of which are risky and not recommended in real life (such as any breeding/ impregnating). Some kinks/concepts explored (at varying degrees): domination/submission/switch, breeding, primal, exhibition, breastfeeding, age gaps (younger man / older woman, and the potential for older man / younger woman), threesome/ménage à trois, polyamory, degradation, praise, MDlb (Mommy Dom / little boy), age regression, cuckquean, double penetration, bisexuality, girl x girl, and anal.
