《Jam Fest Book Club》🎆Introduction🎆
Advertisement
If you read our blurb, you might already have a decent idea of what we're about, but if not, let us fill you in.
Jam Fest is a community of Wattpad writers looking for support and feedback on the stories they've put their blood, sweat, and tears into. But we're also a group of close-knit, crazy, music and book-loving friends, and many of us have been around the WP book club scene for years.
All of our founders have run or adminned for multiple clubs and still do, so we know a thing or two about how to run a tight ship while keeping the party rolling. We also understand how discouraging it can be to work day and night to create the perfect book, only to have it go unnoticed.
That's why we created Jam Fest. We celebrate our love for both music(through our fun club theme and graphics) and our love for writing while offering a chance to gain recognition for your art, make strong friendships, and improve your craft.
As a member of our club you'll receive (if your partners are nice)andmost importantlySo, what's there to lose?
We want nothing more than to let loose, drink a glass of unicorn wine, and have fun with you, but we also believe in tough love.
As mentioned before, this is not our first rodeo. Our three founders have been doing this for years and hold everyone(yes, even themselves) to a high standard of quality feedback and maturity. We're all adults here(18+) and should act our age. Give the support and feedback that you want in return. Those who do this will enjoy everything this club has to offer.
As for maturity, this is a coddle-free zone. We are not your parents, babysitters, or hand-holders. (Unless you need a dance partner to a good song, then, by all means, take a hand.)

No one should be boohooing because someone didn't like their character/genre/whatever. As long as they are taking the time to read your story and give their honest opinion, there shouldn't be an issue. Besides, honest feedback is why you join a book club, right? Right! So put on your big boy/girl undies and act your age, not your shoe size.
That being said, we don't stand by bullies either. There are ways to give honest feedback without being an ass. If you can't do that, then good-bye, we wish you luck. All asshats caught on festival grounds, purposely causing a fuss will get the boot. We party with Darth Sith Lords, don't make us call them.
Besides helping you with your writing, we provide our members with a strong community. To do that we've created a for our members. Joining this chat is though highly recommended.
Our chat has lots of fun channels and is a direct line to our founders and admins. We get to know everyone better, make friends, and offer more writing help outside of assignment comments.
It's overall just a great experience and at the very least, members should give it a try. You can always leave the server if you find it's not for you. We won't hold you hostage...for long.
To go along with this strong community, we want you to let us know when . Won that contest? Reached 5k reads? Went up in rank? Been recognized somewhere? Managed not to flip someone the bird for cutting you off on the highway? Allow us and your fellow members the chance to congratulate and support you. Hell, we'll even celebrate your birthday with you! (shots anyone?) It's what a supportive community would do. It's what friends would do.
We also love providing extra things for everyone to enjoy, so outside of book club, we host a review book, story advertisement, yearly awards, and a magazine. BUT, as a member, you get first notice for all of these.

Our program is another fun way for us to celebrate you. Members who reach Idol status earn entry into our BOTW lottery and earn music notes that can be cashed in for prizes ranging from a member bio to five chapter reviews.
Best of all, we're always brainstorming new ideas. You never know what we may come up with in the future.
So, what are the benefits of joining our lovely group?

Need more convincing? Here's what our members, admins, and founders had to say!
- "There is a strong sense of community that I didn't get in my other book clubs. I feel like I've gotten to know a great group of people, some who's books I have t even read yet. It isn't just a read for read, it's a forum for writing advice and camaraderie."
- "Yes I second the community part! I like how the bookclub has weekly rotations AND you keep the same members on your book so it has a great chance of getting read through. That's my favorite part about it!"
- "I love the sense of community we have. We don't just have readers here, but fellow writers and friends helping each other on our separate writing journeys."
- "^All that!" 👆
- "The community for sure. Also everything it provides. Like awards and reviews."

13.AI
AI means Artificial Intelligence. But those words don't match Al, either of them. Neither Artificial, nor Intelligent. At least not at the beginning. No, an AI requires input, trial & error, and careful observation. But at that point, what makes it any different than human? How are binary choices any different than the choices in a human life. I wager that there is no difference. But what will he think?

Hiraeth: Promise of the World
On a rainy night, a young woman is transported to the enchanting world of Sol'h'meyr. Thrilled to be freed from the shackles of monetary survival and societal expectations on Earth, she embraces her newfound existence and magical powers bestowed. But the rose-tinted fantasy life she always dreamed of turns out to be a stark reality that poses to kill her if she doesn't adapt and let go of her past. Essairyn battles both cripping nostalgia and imminent danger in her journey from the Spirit and Demon Forest to the human realm of As'pyze. Disillusionment leading to anger has erupted into violence across the deceptively peaceful land. New friends and allies gather by her side, but tragedy and betrayal lurk closer than she realizes. Hiraeth is the idyllic beginning tainted with dark shadows in the epic fantasy series, Singularity Cycle. [ – Now Completed with upcoming minor revisions before second book – ] + complex character relationships and growth + realistic quirky magic system + unique mythical creatures + deeply developed world lore + evocative writing style + cute sassy fox sidekick - Original Book Cover Art by Chryiss Rewritten final version of formerly named Canaan series and first book, My World to Live.

The original version of the first book was published on RR in 2019 and has since seen multiple revisions based on reader feedback with this one as the final and official fourth version before the second book. While the entire series story has undergone major changes in the last year, all books have been planned since the beginning of writing. It is also my second wish to eventually make this story into a webcomic, either by myself or with a team if possible. Thank you for taking this journey with me, and enjoy reading! ( You can alternatively read books in the series as standalone fictions, but they connect to one another though a running theme and mystery that evolves and progresses with the main character. ) Alternate Blurb for the Singularity Cycle series: Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters mythical creatures beyond her restless imagination in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is gifted with abnormal magic, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world more dangerous than its beautiful facade could hide. Finding new friends along a path riddled with tragedy, Essairyn must learn who to trust as deceit and betrayal lie behind kindly faces. Life in this deceptively promising world slowly spirals down a path of no return. This is not a game, but cruel reality. Her simple adventure became the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tore even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought they were. And not even the fickle gods could change the time-worn destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence.

Dauntless: Origins
Snow white hair, blue eyes, pale. Devil, monster, mutt, failure.This story follows one Tyr Faeron, crown prince, heir primus and mass murderer. A wrathful, angry, and lost young man that has made it his goal to hunt down the men that killed his mother - and he is on the cusp of finishing the promise he'd made before her cairn stones so many years ago. On the surface he is duplicitous, whimsical, and base of cunning - but within the depths beyond the many masks he wears, something is waiting. Waiting for an end, the end he'd come to long for, whether it be to himself or any possible threats in his vicinity. After that long labor of vengeance is completed... Nobody knows, not even him - an arrogant and otherwise solitary individual with nothing in the way of friends - only the brothers of the blackguard who follow him through life as he pursues this mission. He was born a prince, but he'd be called a disappointment - failing to manifest the great power that he was born to before being summarily discarded by his father, a 250 year old 'primus'. That word again... Men who can shatter mountains and level cities, that's what he was supposed to be. Some call them demi-gods, all Tyr sees is a poor excuse for a parent. Time had made him bitter, cruel, and arguably psychotic - seeing only enemies wherever he looks. They'd come for him, too, one day - to wipe the slate clean and make room for another - and it's his conviction to ensure that he dies while taking as many of those rats with him. This is a story about finding acceptance, growth, and understanding - from the point of view of a cold and brutal individual who wears many masks. Of someone who was born to be the greatest emperor the eastern continent has ever seen - but he failed in that. Strong, yes, but only in the context of a man - Tyr's magic is weak. His convictions are weak. He has been made a beast of instinct by loss and a constant confronting of his own impotency in the face of his father. A mythos that stretches across planes, of magic, a pantheon of cruel gods. Of someone who's dedicated his entire mind to the art of killing a man, and none to living a normal childhood or coming to understand friendship, empathy, or compassion. The first five years of his life a mystery, a hole none have ever been willing to fill, leaving him warped and twisted. His formative years gone and what must've been most of his humanity along with it. Now 17, he is on the cusp of leaving the city he'd never been permitted to leave for what might be the first time in his life. Always searching, though he won't know what for, for some time. An episodic that follows experience and symbolism rather than a never ending series of battles - where the conflict lay in constantly searching for wholeness in lieu of great villains or heroes. This is where it all started, the origin, the tale told a million times - and yet it hadn't been, 'reality' is tricky like that. The greatest lie ever told by the tongue that speaks is that any of this was real at all.
