Hi all,
          
          For those reading THE LANGUAGE OF RESISTANCE, I'm so sorry, but I had to pull it from Wattpad. The story had been fast-tracked for publication on Galatea, but it is still available over on my Inkitt profile for the next few days! The link is on my profile.
          
          So sorry again!

What a wild day! First, someone accused me of using AI to write my story, and then hours later, a publisher picked it up.  That is some karma!
          
          Unfortunately, that means THE LANGUAGE OF RESISTANCE will be taken down soon before being published exclusively on Galatea. Get it while you can!

Soooo, I wrote a second ONC2026 story. I'm not sure if anyone else has RE-caught uranium fever since the new Fallout series and the last game came out, but I HAVE! And since fanfics are accepted this year, I give you this. TOTAL ATOMIC ANNIHILATION OF THE HEART. Let's see where it leads!
          
          ONC prompts for this one are: #18: At eighteen, you begin dreaming of a stranger who feels like your other half. When they finally appear in real life, everything you thought you knew about love and reality begins to shift. #24: Staying as friends feels safe, but that doesn’t mean it’s the path you’re meant to take. #82: You are in love with someone living and someone long dead. Neither one is willing to let you go.

My ONC2026 story is up! VENGENCE IN THE VEINS is a historical romance set in the 15th century. It's got a twisted fairytale vibe and a slow-burning romance. Let the ONC fun begin! 
          
          My prompts  are: #24: Staying as friends feels safe, but that doesn’t mean it’s the path you’re meant to take. #45: Kings have honor, soldiers are brave, poets have heart, and all I have is rage! (Sound by Naethan Apollo)

Anyone planning on entering the ONC? I definitely will be! I'm looking forward to joining in the fun again!
