Haha, fair enough! I actually like that it stays a mystery, it makes the ending stick with you even more. Good luck in the contest! Btw I’m a paid artist, your story really inspired me and I’ve got some illustration ideas for your story. Can I share them with you?
@SallyMason1 Hi, Sal. Thank you for continued support of my nonsense. Hope your Amazon crook got their comeuppance. Be well and never stop dreaming - or laughing. ;P)
@lyttlejoe Amazon took it down within hours, so all good. I saw the SmackDown and thought it would be fun to join. Always love your entries :)
Hi Sal! Thank you VERY much for your vote on my Smackdown story. I hope you're well!
@SallyMason1 That is surprising... and concerning! I didn't think that was supposed to be posible either
Hello everyone! I learned today that someone from WP stole LUNAR ECLIPSE and published it on Amazon under a different title and a different name. The person didn't bother to change anything, including the images at the end of each chapter that ask for comments and votes. Such a blatant copyright infringement is quite cheeky (and stupid), and I'm sure that Amazon will remove the book soon, so if you are the infringer and are reading this, be prepared to have your Amazon account closed permanently.
However, in light of this, I do no longer feel safe to post anything on WP that I intend to publish commercially in the future. This means that Lunar Eclipse will come down as soon as the copyright claim is resolved, and that I will not publish part II as I originally intended. I will also unpublish BETWEEN and will no longer publish any new stories. It is very unfortunate that I have to take this step because I loved sharing my work with you on WP. Your reads, comments, and votes carried me through the turmoils of my writer's journey and I will always be grateful for this.
For now, my early stories will remain on WP and I will continue to post on Inkitt (the link is available on my profile) while I evaluate if I want to risk of having anything else stolen. For those of you who are avid fans of my work, watch out for announcements about new releases on Amazon because I will always give away free copies to WP readers who have proven supporters of my work.
@sallymason1 seriously, what’s wrong with people? This is why we can’t have nice things. I came here looking for your onc stories because I’m finally catching up on reading but I suppose this means you won’t publish them here? I’m glad you got the situation sorted out with Amazon but it’s still a very sad business for all of us :(((((((
@lyttlejoe , @Multilingually , @Nablai , @WendyyWolfe , @Meeko0903 , @Tefaye_girl Thanks for your kind comments and support. Amazon took the book down, but it was still a hassle. I'm just sad that WP doesn't put safeguards in place to avoid downright downloads, which will deter authors to publish on this platform.
@elveloy They downloaded the book straight from WP, images and all, without any typing on their part. I thought WP actually resolved this security glitch by blocking downloads, but this has obviously been proven wrong. I no longer feel safe keeping anything of value on here.
Hey! Thanks for the follow and adding my story to your reading list! I hope you will enjoy it. I am looking forward to continue reading your stories!
Both PARALLEL and SMOKING GUN passed round 1 of the ONC. To celebrate, I published the next chapter of PARALLEL -- check in with Harper and see where she ended up after her visit to the prison.

The chapter is dedicated to my WP friend @elveloy . Vera has been participating in the ONC every year with exciting Steampunk/Sci-Fi stories that will keep you at the edge of your seats. This year's entry Steampunk Assassin is a must-read.

@SallyMason1 You qualified me? For what, sorry my notifications don't show anything, im honoured though!
As promised, I've posted my second ONC entry; a dark romance thriller based on prompt #51: While in search for a missing friend, you accidentally kidnap the most feared crime lord. I think I'm gonna have a lot of fun with this one, so I hope you'll check it out. Happy reading! https://www.wattpad.com/story/407345611-smoking-gun-onc-2026 The first chapter is dedicated to @lyttlejoe who surprises me every year with another amazing ONC entry. There's always thrills, love, and a fast-paced plot that forces you to turn the pages. This year's entry THE NANNY CONTRACT is no exception. Go and check it out: https://www.wattpad.com/story/407387358-the-nanny-contract-onc2026
Thank you for adding Dom to your reading list! I hope you enjoy my onc entry ✨
