Promoting Undiscovered Gems

  Most of the popular stories in wattpad now a days have the same topics. Either populars paired up with nerds/ ordinary girls/ boys or those vampires/ werewolves/ mythical creatures loving a human. Obviously everything has the same ending! Them getting together because they're just soulmates and meant to be.

 I'm not against them or anything, just saying all those cliche stories are really getting more and more, piling up all those good books down. I myself have also written those stories before. When I got here I saw so much stories just like mine. Not that they're coping each other but I don't know...those cliches are just easier to write so I myself started writing fantasy stories. So far I never seen anything like it, so I guess that's fine.

 Hmm...so anyway I'll put up all those stories I like. Then let's have an interview then your interview will be post within a week.
 
  One of the most important reasons of all is that I want those fascinating stories that aren't noticed because of all those features and the rest of the books with hundred thousands and millions of reads jamming them below. I want all of them to get noticed. Readers will usually read "What's Hot" or those "Featured." What about those "Undiscovered Gems" and "What's New?" Let's give it a chance and check it out. Maybe there are more exceptional writers out there.

    Summary: Gang Violence. Devouring the innocent souls and the ones who do harm. It feeds and lives on the streets of Jesenia's neighborhood. Sounds bad enough doesn't it? Well it gets worst, Jesenia isn't the witness type in where she lives at. She would much rather be the person threatening someone else who isn't apart of her gang. But when a different gang wants her family dead including her, what will she do when they cross the line.

    Inspiration: Just wanted to think of something that's different than your average book and not a cliche.

    Why did you want to write about this: to improve on writing and see how far this book can get.

    Do you have solid plans on finishing your story: Yes, I'm almost finished with it but I just posted Chapter 1.

    What made you want to join Wattpadian Mags: Its interesting and I like the ideas such as this one.

    Summary: It's the middle of her junior year of high school, and Danika wants nothing but for it to be over. Well, more like wants high school to be over period. She hasn't enjoyed it one bit since the beginning, but things get worse for her when Nathan, the school's handsome player, starts giving her some unwanted attention. Danika has done one good thing in her high school years, so far, which is avoiding him at all costs. That becomes a bit difficult, however, when she notices that he's been challenging her; following her wherever she goes, and doing whatever it takes to annoy her. Will she end up surrendering, and allow him to steal her heart, or will she show him just how stubborn she could be?

    Inspiration: Some of the things I have in my story are based on real life experiences.

    Books You Love: Some books that I love on Wattpad are Float, Once Upon a Twisted Fate, Better Than Revenge, The Last Dance, and so much more. Check them out sometime!

    Where did you get the idea of your story? Honestly, I don’t know. My story is a cliché, I’m going to admit, but I write it because it’s a lot of fun. Also, I’m new at writing, and I don’t want to challenge myself just yet. I want to feel fully confident with my writing before I start working on more challenging and original stories.

    Do you have solid plans in finishing your story? Yes, definitely.

    What made you want to join Wattpadian Magazine? Well, I saw that you were talking about it in one of the forums, and it seemed really interesting. I like how you’re helping so many talented and gifted writers become noticed with their amazing stories. People work very hard on their stuff, and I feel like they need to get the credit they deserve for that. I just want to thank you for taking your time to do this.

    Anything else you want to say or add? Well, I just want to say that I hope you give my story a chance. And, if you don’t, well, at least I tried, right? Haha.


    Oh! And "champ". Hehe. :)

    Summary: Keira Blackwell looked up at the sky when the house was nothing but charred remains. There were no stars above which twinkled merrily down at her. No, she corrected herself. There were no stars since she killed her first vampire--her father. As the death toll she caused increased, the world grew colder and became a stranger to her. Too much blood spilled, too much brutality, too many deaths. Humans and vampires signed a treaty that allowed both species to coexist as long as the vampires fed from blood banks and not actual humans. Vampires were considerably stronger but they were outnumbered by humans. Taking advantage of their superiority, they soon began to dominate the politics, the show business, Wallstreet , the economy, everything. High-profiled vampires like politicians, actors and actresses, businessmen and women, famous designers and authors started their rampage of killing and feeding frenzies. All done in secrecy. Humans were unaware. Vampire assassins were not. They, and only they, were equipped to deal and even kill the vampires who broke the treaty. With acute senses enough to rival a vampire, good reflexes and physical dexterity, they were more than capable. The Division, an huge organization of vampire assassins, produces the strongest, the fastest, the best ad the most lethal. But Keira Blackwell was the deadliest of them all because she was a vampire herself.

    Inspiration: It's not really what you call "inspiration" for me. I was hanging out with friends and just suddenly got this itch to write. I didn't know what came over me but I knew I had to write this down and finish it.

    Books: Anything readable under the sun. Kidding. Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Divergent, Mortal Instruments, Before I Fall, House of Night, The Host are some of the books that have a piece of my heart.

    Where did you get the idea of your story: As I said before, it came out of the blue. I write any genre, not really a vampire fanatic, but Shadowed took my entire time. . . Almost like a newborn child of mine :)

    D you have anybody you want to thank: Yes, I want to thank the wonderful people who took the time to read Shadowed. A shout out to those amazing readers.

    Why did you want to write about Shadowed: At first, I wrote out of boredom and pushed by this weird desire to write but as soon as my characters, Keira, James, Xander, Vincent and Bryce began to come alive in my mind. . . As they say, the rest is history. It's really different if you care so much for your characters that you can't stop writing to see what will happen to them or how will their problems be resolved.

    Do you have solid plans to. . . : Yes, I do. But I'm not sure if I'll post the finished book here on Wattpad if its reads will not increase. I would hate to waste my time and effort.

    What made you join. . . : Mainly to advertise and hope that will draw people to read my work. I mean, c'mon, who doesn't want to be appreciated?

    Anything else to say. . . : I hope you won't judge my story immediately as soon as you find out it has vampires in it. Give this a chance. Thank you.
