《Meet the authors Showcase Edition #1 (Est. 2/17/2020)》A showcase with @NANDASHREE, author of The Curse Of Hecate

Well, this book is being written for the ONC 2020. So, prompt number 24 definitely inspired me. Along with that there's a webtoon called Subzero which I've been following. It is a story about two warring dragons. Reading it made me want to write a story about dragons too.
I've never written a novella before especially in the fantasy-romance genre. Keeping the story short, yet building a believable romance is something I struggled with during plotting.
I have always loved the enemies to lovers trope. But, I'd never tried writing it before. It's new and exciting for me.

Compared to my previous story (which has been taken down for an edit) this one is garnering more attention in a very short period. It could be because of multiple reasons like people having to stay at home due to Corona or the ONC season. But I'd like to believe my story has succeeded in intriguing the readers.
It's a stand-alone novella. But, the side characters are very interesting to write so I might come up with spin-offs which would also be stand-alone works.

In today's times, nothing is more certain than uncertainty and we all walk around with death looming on our heads. My protagonist shares that feeling with us. I hope my readers find the strength from her story to have faith and hope no matter what the situation is.
7
I have made many mistakes and learnt from them too. The advice I would like to give to my fellow writers is this: If someone is giving you constructive criticism, take it. If you feel their comment has nothing to add to you or your story, ignore it. At the end of the day, you write because you have an overwhelming need to put your story on paper and because you're passionate about it. Don't ever forget why you started writing in the first place.

If my protagonist were like me, the story would be extremely boring. Which is why Meredith was created to be the total opposite of me. Writing her dialogues are therefore very challenging as she seldom responds the way I would to a situation. She's brave, outspoken and sometimes stupid in her idealism.
9
The plot is intriguing and I'm sure there's market for fantasy-romance right now. Besides, it's a rich world with various supernatural beings interacting with each other. The power dynamics keep shifting between my male and female MCs and that in my opinion would be refreshing to read.
10
I'm going to take up my previous work, "The Wanderer" as my Wattys project. Other than that I don't have anything else in mind for now as I like to focus of one project at a time.

Until You Do It Right
The world ended on December thirty-first of the year two thousand and twenty, precisely at the stroke of midnight. The human race began to be systematically exterminated by the spawn of the System. We were given a chance to defeat them, to take back our place at the top of the food chain. We failed. The first to perish were those who bravely rebelled. The soldiers. The defenders. One by one, they fell. In their final moments, they begged for aid. Nobody replied. The next to succumb were those who feebly cowered. The deniers. The leeches. Together, they fell. In their final moments, they cried out into the darkness. Countless voices replied in kind. The last to decline were those who shamelessly ran. The deserters. The cowardly. Alone, they fell. In their final moments, they whimpered quietly. There was nobody left to answer. The final human to die was a survivor. A runner. As he died, he begged for salvation. His prayers were answered. He was offered a chance to save himself, along with all of humanity, and he took it. This is his story. “I sat in the dark and thought: There’s no big apocalypse. Just an endless procession of little ones.”― Neil Gaiman, Signal to Noise. I am absolutely new to writing and will take any and all constructive criticism. Please give feedback, it is greatly appreciated. I will update the tags as they change, and I hope that you enjoy this little story I'm writing! Quick warning: Seamus is intentionally a flawed character, and this story is going to explore those flaws and perhaps even change a few of them. I do not agree with all of his actions, but it is what it is.

The Ingress of Dreams
It starts with a hypothesis on the Internet that a dream hundreds of thousands of people around the world report having is actually a shared dream. Details noticed in one person's dream are found to be independently verifiable in another. Once you enter The Dream, you stop having normal dreams. Night after night you fall asleep and reenter the same dreamworld you left, a corresponding amount of time having passed in it as well. With each day and night that passes, the number of people roped into this phenomenon increases until very quickly most of the world's population are sharing this second life in their sleep. This dreamscape quickly develops its own rules, nations, dangers and wars, and fundamentally changes everything about humanity's waking and dream lives.

The Fate of The Summoned (being ReWritten)
The Fate of The Summoned In the world of Aethion things are vastly different than on Earth. There is Magic and Monsters, as well as Demons and Dragons. Throughout the history of the world there have been many wars, both between all the various nations and kingdoms and between those nations and kingdoms and the Demonic forces lead by a Demon King or Lord. There are times that the Demons gain so much more power than the other nations, or that the others are embroiled in a war against each other and the lone nation is targeted by the demons. It was during these occasions that the various Gods and Goddesses started giving two things to the races. The First of these things were the Blessings, magical blessings given to the worth for chosen things. The Second of these things were the Summoning rituals, magic rituals that could summon beings from somewhere else, that would be Chosen, by the gods. These beings have almost always come from our world, Earth. It has been centuries since this practice began and the countries of the world have almost always flourished for a time after a Chosen or group of them were Summoned. All of the countries treat the Summoned well, almost like kings or princes in their own right. Well, not all countries, there are some that have treated them almost like slaves, though those countries don’t usually last long. There is one though, that has lasted, for a long time due to their connection to their Patron Deity, the Goddess of Light. They only accept certain types of Summoned and they dote on certain members of the country more than others. Several years ago they performed a summoning, as they were being plagued by overflow from the dungeons. Now they, like the other countries of Aethion, have performed the ritual to fight against the current Demon King, who is said to possess a Blessing. This is a story about Fate, and those that fight against it and those who accept it. In this story the main character(s) do not fight their fate, like those in my other story, rather they embrace it and let it shape them, though that does not mean they are total slaves to it. While there will be similarities to most other Hero sumoning novels, i hope the Mcs abilities and such will make it unique.
