**A serial, updating daily through November 2015. Fans of Buffy, the Vampire Slayer are sure to enjoy this story of 5 weird teens fighting to save their town from evil spirits**

Seventeen-year-old Carly is counting down to graduation (30 weeks to go!), ready to escape her small town of Shady Creek. But when she accidentally opens a box that releases 50 evil spirits, graduation becomes a more important date: her deadline to save the world.

As the box's opener (just call her "Pandora"), Carly must learn to wield the sword left behind when the spirits escape. She's taught by her friend Jake, aka the Keeper assigned to safeguard Pandora's Box...A job he clearly sucks at, but at least he knows the rules. The spirits are confined to Shady Creek--practicing their destructive magic on the town--until the box loses its hold on them, which happens to fall on graduation day. Carly has until then to strike each spirit and absorb it into the sword, but if even one gets free, she won't have a rest-of-the-world to escape to.

50 evil spirits, 30 weeks... That's just 1.667 spirits a week. Totally manageable, right?  Right?

(As I am updating this each day during NaNo, please be aware that it is, in fact, a first draft)

Silver Eyes by CatnyxBlackthorn
41 parts Complete Mature
When an average high school student, Silver, meets a mysterious, mercurial guy and joins a coven of witches, she is soon sucked into a fight between ancient beings brought into the world to control the human population. She resists her intended destiny, but doesn't shy away from the witchy power she possesses or the lycanthrope monster she becomes. As a rebellious teen and street artist, Silver knew of the popular gangs that roamed the streets at night, but she didn't know their dark secret. She finds herself entangled with vampyres and lycans when her boyfriend turns out to be a vampyre and her parentage isn't as average as she thought. She didn't realize the significance of her name wasn't just because of the color of her eyes, but a plan set out by her father to involve her in the war- the war that will change the world if Romulus and Lilith get their way and the existence of their kind is exposed to the humans. This is a dark vampire/lycan/witch romance + action novel (with some magic, some sex, and a lot of blood and gore) that I started writing ten years ago when I was in high school. It started as a darker version of Twilight, but I was influenced strongly by Underworld, Teen Wolf, Bitten, Vampire Diaries, and The Secret Circle. As the first of likely three novels, this is complete (but I will probably edit a hundred more times lol) and I am currently working on the second one! The Photo I used for the cover was taken by Fogbreath in 2007. I was unable to find the photographer to ask if I could use the photo, but at least it had their name on it and I can give them credit.
It Isn't Easy Being Queen by BrittanieCharmintine
49 parts Complete
Even teen evil queens need love. Right? (Or at least a handsome sword-fighting minion to do their bidding!) *** Bad things happen when Rowen is around and the worst part is, she has no idea why until a massive family secret sends her on a fantastical journey to fight her evil fate. Will Rowen fold into the forces of dark magic or honor her true self? *** On the surface, Rowen Keckilpenny-Brown seems like a normal teenage girl with normal teen problems-no boyfriend, overprotective parents, and no friends other than a three-legged cat. But her wild red hair, reptilian eyes, and legendary temper say otherwise. When Rowen accidentally blows up the school gym, she discovers a dark secret her fathers have kept from her-she's the heir to an evil queen's throne. The current evil queen, Petronella Grimshaw, is desperate to crown Rowan the new sovereign and blackmails her into traveling to the queendom. Rowen has one month to learn how to evil queen, and it's not easy because there are those in the castle who want her dead, witches are disappearing, and an annoyingly cute swordsman keeps distracting her. Worst of all, Rowan finds herself in a duel against her biggest enemy: herself. She must fight her true fate, in the process uncovering deep familial mysteries and perhaps the biggest secret ever...That maybe, just maybe, she deserves to be loved after all. Princess Diaries meets the School for Good & Evil with a touch of Wednesday Addams thrown in for bad luck. The best kind! Cover by @ClarissaNorth

24 parts Complete

Earth was thriving in the year 3180. The discovery of magic changed the way of the world. As the research of magic continued, people found that they had magic hidden inside of their bodies. Years went by and people created methods that allowed them to control and bind magic into inanimate objects. Many advancements were made and new discoveries were made each day. There was one discovery, however, that would lead humans to their breaking points: demons. A team of explorers discovered the fabled race and fled on sight. The creatures followed the team as they fled back to Earth. With an ominous warning, Earth prepared for war. As they all suspected, humans lost. The survivors fled to their sister planet, Centauri Asaris. They began their new life. When it seemed that the demons would never find the humans, the creatures showed up. Will humans learn to survive? Willow, a young mage, is a descendant of the survivors and lives a relatively easy life. This all changes when she begins her high school life. With the disappearance of her parents, a letter, and a mysterious school Willow and her friends' lives will change forever. **This amazing cover was created and given to me by KateJordanOriginal** **This story is now completed. The sequel will be published the week of June 11, 2017. I will probably go back and edit this story later**
