Hi guys! Fangirlwithalaptop here!
I have been invited to participate in a prestigious writing competition. I can hand in one poem and one short piece, non-fiction or fiction. I was hoping that you guys could help me choose what I'd hand in to the competition.
Please vote for the pieces you like best, I will be writing more but I'll start you off with a few options.
Not even sure if any of you will read or care, but I'll give it a shot anyway. :)
Lots of love,
Fangirlwithalaptop

Over the Wall: A Collection of Short Stories (NaNoWriMo 2014)
This year for NaNoWriMo, I am writing a short story anthology. It will feature thirty or so short stories (my hope is to write one per day to fulfill my 1,667 per day word requirement) about varying things. Each morning, I will randomly select a number between one and thirty and I will look at the corresponding list of first lines I will have. I will take that line and write a short story using it and then the next day I will do the process over again (some stories might relate to each other, some might not). Anyway I will edit the story for that day and post it here. It may not be posted exactly on the corresponding day, but in the end there will be thirty short stories. P.S. Although these are somewhat edited they are still rough drafts so please treat them as such.Complete
04Lonewolf's Short Stories
This book is essentially just a compilation of all my short stories that I've written over the last couple of years. Story titles with '🏷️' are inspired by a short story prompt or other literary work, whilst ones with '📙' are stories purely from my own imagination. Ones with '🧩' may be an excerpt from a larger story I'm working on, but can still be considered as a short story by itself. Also just letting you know in advance that I wrote quite a few of these when I was younger and they are really bad 😅. Well, even my recent ones aren't the best. All I'm saying is... these are my very rough drafts, so read at your own risk, and please be positive or feel free to (politely) point out any mistakes so I can make them better :) Enjoy! (WARNING: Please do not copy any of these without permission! If you see someone else using these ideas, please let me know, because these are all my own work.)

A Story By Chance
A new adventure awaits to those patient enough. But what about living the book you're reading? What about saving the world? A world? A life? What about learning magic? What about meeting a dragonness and talking mouse? What about dancing in a masquerade held only once every year? What about saving your best friend? And exploring the farthest confines of the Galaxy? What about living on a comet? On the Moon? On a futuristic world? Welcome to this new adventure, where each short story is based on nine random images. They might all seem disconnected at first, but are they really? I guess you'll get to find out along with me...
Mayhem 2019 (JackSepticEye Prompts)
A list of prompts by @septic-bella on tumblr for May! It's in honor of the chaos in May 2018 on JackSepticEye's Youtube channel, but it's technically free-for-all in any art form (I might draw some stuff and post the pictures as chapters instead of writing prompts). I started late, but I can catch up quick probably, so let's do this! Here's the prompt list, for my sanity and for any of you to follow along! Day 1: Into the madness Day 2: Lost Day 3: The calm Day 4: The Doctor Is Back Day 5: Stories untold Day 6: He's Listening Day 7: Gone silent Day: 8: Connected Day 9: Try To Fall Asleep Day 10: The end is near Day 11: Tie Day 12: Winning Day 13: Alcohol Day 14: Dark Silence Day 15: Abandoned and exiled Day 16: A way out Day 17: Father Day 18: Childhood Day 19: Journal Day 20: Infected Day 21: Trash Day 22: Cold Day 23: Champion Day 24: Clues Day 25: Terror Day 26: Actor Day 27: Going crazy Day 28: Ruined life Day 29: Ending Day 30: Left alone Day 31: Mayhem Edit: It has been finished!!!

SPOREFALL | ONC 2025
Three months ago, a thick, white powder covered the Earth overnight. Not snow, but spores, hundreds of spores, all from an unknown source. Those that came into contact with the substance became spore-touched: violent, uncaring, every one able to turn into plants hundreds of feet tall and rip apart the world itself. Three months ago, Mya lost her humanity, and with it, everything she knew. Not all at once, but every day is another memory gone, all washed over by new instincts, identities, and wants. In a city slowly being torn apart by the massive vegetation of her new kind, her options either to join their collective, or escape with what remains of herself, her days are spent surviving, and hiding amongst Humans. Humans that will burn her alive the second she's caught. The only thing she has is a water bottle and the goals of her former self, but the likelihood of achieving them in a post-apocalyptic world is bleak enough, and that's if she can still remember them by the end of the week. So when another spore-touched offers to take her to a supposed safe haven, all with the hope that they both can be turned back, she takes it. Not because this new companion seems like the most trustworthy person, not because they can promise to stop her from becoming a monster- She takes it because there's nothing else to choose. ONC Entry for 2025. Prompts used: 68., 103., and perhaps a little of 134.Complete
Just a Bottle of Fairy Dust
Hi guys! This is just me trying to write a few short stories. I got a lil' tired of long ones and this book will be many stories compiled into one. The stories inside will most probably my imagination being written out after it has been living in a hole in my brain for ages. Sometimes, I even write the stories about songs so... please support me by voting, commenting and fanning! 1. Genre: Romance / Teen Fiction / Short Story 2. Each story will be one chapter's worth. 3. Each story WILL be completed before publishing, so one published chapter = one published story. 4. Criticism is welcome, but please try to stay nice. 5. No guarantee of being updated frequently. Sorry about that. 6. Please comment and vote! Encouraging me will not only boost my ego but my updates as well. 7.

O Negative
Content Warning-This story is meant for mature audiences. It features adult language, references, situations, sexual content, graphic violence, and gore. Fantasy, horror, and science fiction are my favorite genres to read. They are also my favorite to write. I've enjoyed writing since I won my first writing contest in the fourth grade. That was over twenty-five years ago and I haven't shared a sinlge word of it. Imposter syndrome is a bitch! Well, I finally managed to pull the trigger. Here is "O Negative". It's a mix of all of my favorite genres. I've mixed a fantasy, based on present-day Earth, with plenty of graphic horror and wrapped it all up within a world driven by the technological advancements that only can be obtained from millions of years of civilation. A small group of strangers find themselves surviving in a decimated world. It's bad enough to be stranded in a no-name town, but things become surreal when you realize the vast majority of humanity has died...it becomes terrifying when you realize you aren't that lucky to be alive. "Survivor's Guilt" isn't a thing when you find yourself the sole food source for an entire group of beings that no longer need to hide in the shadows. Man is no longer at the top of the food chain...they are now the cattle.
