Nobody Likes Megan McGowen by StephanieProchaska
46 parts Ongoing
Having a genie is always complicated. Bringing him to school makes everything worse. Nothing ever seems to go Megan's way; she doesn't have that many friends, she's late for everything, and she's barely passing her classes. It seems like she's doing everything she can just to stay in the middle of the pack. So after scraping together all the couch-cushion money she could find, she decides to run away. Sitting at the bus stop late one night, Megan comes across an old bottle someone threw away. With nothing else to do, she decides to take a closer look. When she opens it, a kid her own age appears, ready to grant her whatever she wants. So, she wishes to be popular - what could go wrong? As Megan's life takes a drastic turn for the better, she gets a little cocky. After a failed bet with the genie, she agrees to let him come to school. Before she knows it, he's worming his way into every part of her life: he's in all her classes, friends with her brother, and getting invites to hang out with her friends. But once she starts spending time with him, Megan finds she has a new problem. Despite her best efforts, she's starting to see him as something more than just her personal wish-granter; he's almost a friend. But can she trust him?

16 parts Ongoing
It's 1917 in the tiny town of Cobbingham, England. Rowena Griffinson turns 18 tonight. And all 17 years of her disappointing life have been spent in the Griffinson Manor, up until now. No friends. No outside. No love. At least not from her father, Mr. Merle Griffinson, current owner of the manor, and not to mention emotionless and distant. Rowena and Mr. Griffinson rarely speak, until a fight on the night of her 18th birthday where things take a turn for the worse. After their big blowout, Rowena runs into (literally) a boy her age who also seems to be in trouble... Each with their own issues, they decide to team up. But Rowena has another problem not even she is aware of. But as each night creeps closer, so does her worst nightmare. Or...blessing? What secrets lie beyond the manor for Rowena? And what secrets lie beneath Shimmer Lake? *This is a work of fiction, all people, places and events are purely fictional. That being said, please enjoy SHIMMER LAKE! 😽*
The Blessing's Curse: Legacy of Veltara by 801tman
15 parts Ongoing Mature
In the world of Veltara, two continents dominate the land, one that worships the goddess Seraphina and the other that worships the deity Vakros. Millennia ago, each deity blessed a hero from their respective nation, using them to lead their nation into a war against the other. However, this merely led to a stalemate, and a long period of a tense peace followed. In the present day, the descendants of the hero that worshiped Seraphina have turned from their intended purpose: believing themselves to be as gods and rulers. Despite hating the direction the family had gone down, the goddess is unable to remove her blessing, as it was permanent. Enter Drystan, a young rogue on the run from the knights of the kingdom. After an encounter with the goddess, he is given the same blessing as the hero of old and his descendants, but with a directive: to end the reign of the family, either through peaceful means up to lethal force if necessary and take their place.

A Priestess for the Blind God (Legends of Rahasia Book 1) by FaeWhit
107 parts Complete
"The Blind God walks around me, and I feel my mind prodded again like it was in the cavern, a spider weaving a tangled web. "Would you do anything to be remembered, Ode, even play a villain, the one who rises against the Chosen One?" In answer, I draw my dagger and make a slight incision against my thumb. Blood drips down, hot against my flesh. I hold my hand out as an oath, a promise. My ghouls hiss, yearning to drink. "I would rather reign over darkness than grovel as a servant to the light." *FEMALE ROBIN HOOD MEETS ONE THOUSAND AND ONE NIGHTS* Ode Ngayoh is the only child of a bloodthirsty desert warlord. When the Blind God chooses her as champion, she's deemed a dark witch, a blemish against the Empire for her necromantic powers of summoning ghūls, the undead. Facing off against the prince and his handsome lover, Ode stands alone with the cursed god's favor. However, the more Ode defends the outcasts of the Empire, the more she finds herself being labelled a villain...
