Hey! 🖤 I hope you don’t mind me dropping by! I just wanted to personally invite you to check out my story, The Devil’s Alibi. It’s a dark psychological mafia thriller filled with secrets, betrayal, hidden identities, obsession, and twists that hopefully will keep you guessing. 🥀
          
          I’d genuinely love to have you as a reader. Every read, vote, comment, and little reaction means so much to me as a writer, and I’d be incredibly happy to know what you think of the story. ✨
          
          If dark mysteries, morally complicated characters, dangerous secrets, and stories where nothing is quite what it seems are your thing… you might enjoy this one. 👀🖤
          
          No pressure at all, though! I just wanted to share something I’ve poured a lot of heart into. If you decide to give it a chance, I hope The Devil’s Alibi keeps you turning the pages. 🌙🥀
          
          Thank you for reading this little message, and I hope to see you inside the story. 🤍

@EvelynHail Do you think you'll do another fantasy for next year? Revisit the world of Root and Ruin? ❤️

Hola chicos!
          
          Hope you are having a wonderful summer and holidaying just as I am ☺️ 
          
          “Root and Ruin” has earned an Honorable Mention in ONC2026 and I could not be happier, seeing how this was my very first foray into the realm of Romantasy!

          I was so thrilled to see, among the winners and honorable mentions, the four novellas that I particularly enjoyed reading:
          
          OwlieCat “Long Shadows”
          philouwrites “Most Ardently Viking”
          MiriamElade “A Lullaby of Steel & Secrecy”

          Other completed novellas that I adored this year and I absolutely recommend are:
          
          Kaiddance “To Heaven & Back”
          Space_Queen_Q “Emberfall”

          NicoletteSalle "Silk County: A Rennaisance Retelling of Galatea and Acis"
          
          There are definitely many other fantastic and deserving entries on the Honorable Mentions and Winners Lists that I still haven’t had the chance to peek at ♥️ (and that quite possibly do not fit into this announcement) xD 
          
          This year ONC did, once again, what it does best: it connected us with new authors and readers from all corners of Wattpad! 
          
          To me, it is always the most important takeaway from each and every season of Open Novella Contest ♥️ 
          
          Thank you everyone for participating, and thank you to all the judges for organising!
          
          Here's to seeing you all in ONC 2027!
          

Hola chicos! ☺️
          
          Give me an O! Give me an N! Give me a C!
          
          I'm, as every year, thrilled to be participating again!
          
          Over the past eight years on the platform, I have explored nearly every genre imaginable! xD
          
          I wrote fantasy, high fantasy, paranormal, science fiction, steampunk, litfic, romance, mafia romance, murder mystery, erotica, horror, historical fiction, poetry, short stories, micro narratives... It’s been quite a ride.
          
          The only genre I've never tried and that I have yet to conquer is… Romantasy! Or… Fantasy Romance o.O Let us see what this turns out to be…
          
          And what better time to dive in than ONC? It's the perfect opportunity to experiment and try something new.
          
          So, I'm excited to introduce "Root and Ruin," my very first foray into the world of Romantasy! I hope you'll join me on this journey.

          Wishing you all an amazing week filled with creativity and inspiration! ✨
          
          I can't wait to explore all the incredible entries you've already shared! ❤️

@GandalfofspaceAnli I am still thinking between 1 and 4 and 32 because I want to do a dragon Romantasy! Something similar to Fourth Wing or Shadow and Bone! Maybe I will go with the one that directly mentions a dragon 

@EvelynHail I don't know if I can take part, let's see how things go. 
          Have you narrowed down on a prompt yet? 

Hola de nuevo chicos ♥️ 
          
          I hope everyone is having an amazing week and also, writing like crazy for ONC!
          
          24 days left for that first chappy! 
          
          The wait is over!
          
          The judging for the Amby Awards 2025 has officially been finished today and  GASLIGHT TRIALS, as well as LOVE, DAD have been recognised as Grand Favorites!
          
          I am especially happy for “Love, Dad”, because this is its first recognition on the platform. 
          
          I wrote “Love, Dad” as a part of the Open Novella Contest 2024, and it always held a unique place in my heart, because of the similarities I share with the protagonist when it comes to her family situation. 
          
          Thank you to the Ambys for having chosen it, and to everyone who loved this book when they read it ♥️ 
          
          Congratulations to all the other participants as well! 
          
          Now, let’s write an amazing book in 2026! ☺️
