Falling For My Artistic Director

Day 1 — Smile and wave at him when he comes to the auditorium. Day 2 — Say hi or hello when you see him outside of rehearsal. No stuttering, Amelia Day 3 — Compliment something he’s wearing—and pretend it wasn’t rehearsed. Day 4 — Ask if he’s seen a popular movie or show. Day 5 — Ask him for a favor or borrow his pen. Day 6 — …What should Day 6 even be? Oh my god, I’m so nervous. This is crazy. I’m actually planning how to talk to Ezekiel. Yup, I must be insane. I shook my head. But who cares though? YOLO!! ******* Oh—hi there. That’s me. Professional overthinker. Amateur in everything else. Hehe. Sometimes I love taking stupid… uhm, risks. You know, for the plot, if you know what I mean. You’re probably wondering what all that “Day 1” stuff was about, right? Well… our paths crossed again. Well—mine and uhm, my artistic director’s… or should I say ours? No, that sounds weird because he isn’t yours and you’re not currently— ugh, Amelia, you’re going off course again! Sorry about that, I tend to wander off sometimes. ****** Where were we? Ah, yes. Our paths crossed again in my second year, during the second semester, while working on a performance course called THA208. After my first year in this big (and not-so-expensive) state school, he came to help my group out because my co-director asked him for help. He even cancelled his trip to another country… for us. So charming and uhm, cute and so— Amelia!!! Behave. Sorry, again. I promise to continue this… uhm, synopsis? Right, author?? Is that what it’s called? Am I even a theatre student?? [laughs] What am I even doing— ******* Back to our main subject. The man with the calm voice, terrifying authority during rehearsals, and that frustrating smile that makes my brain buffer. I forgot to mention—he’s a CEO. He practically owns a production company, a post-production house, and some creative agency or whatever. Blah blah blah. Yeah, he’s very… productive in his life. Ezekiel Green. That’s his name. And me? Well… I’ll hand that part to you, Miss Author. **************** Amelia Campbell is a second-year Theatre and Film Arts student at Valley View University. She’s the quiet girl in the rehearsal hall — the one who forgets her lines but never forgets how Ezekiel Green’s voice sounds when he says her name. Ezekiel is everything she’s not: confident, brilliant, and terrifyingly composed. He’s also her former induction director, a CEO of multiple creative companies, and the man she’s been secretly crushing on since freshman year. When he returns to campus to help her struggling group with a major performance project, Amelia’s world flips. What started as admiration becomes something deeper — something she’s not sure she’s ready for. Will she find the courage to step out of the wings and into the spotlight of her own story? Or will her feelings remain a silent monologue? Would their age difference come between them? ***************** Let’s find out as we go into Amelia’s story together. Grab your popcorn, because this ship is about to turn into a circus of crazy storms and unexpected rides. ***************** Additional Tags Mature (deals with adult themes and relationships) bittersweet slow burn art & passion university life Secretrelationship Emotional Unavailability Toxic/Unhealthy Relationship Dynamics self-growth deeply personal psychological realism

Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons

"Dragons and their spawn rule the skies, the land, and the seas... humanity survives in the cracks, dreaming of a comeback." _____ Power comes from the beast you tame. Wolves, hawks, snakes, spiders, chimeras, the stronger your summon, the brighter your future. Too bad for our protagonist. When everyone else summoned salamanders, eagles, troll dogs(not doge) or tigers, he got… Well, let’s just say the only thing lower on the food chain is dirt. Laughed at, bullied, and living as the butt of every joke, he’s not exactly winning. But giving up isn’t an option... His aging parents sold everything for his "failed" chance, and he won’t let it be for nothing. But hey, this is his story. The weakest beast tamer? Here’s the thing about being at the bottom: it teaches you how to climb. And dragons? Turns out they start small too. As kingdoms crumble under greed and external threats, the weakest tamer begins his rise. Follow his path as he unlocks a potential so rare, so terrifying, it leads to dragons… Every evolutionary line leads to the strongest ‘SSS Dragons’. _______ Warning: Contains world-ending dragons, ridicule-fueled underdog revenge, dragon-scaled protagonist, morally questionable nobles, insane creature evolutions and enough twists to make you wonder if weakest really means luckiest. A MC who’s out to prove everyone wrong… even if it kills him. Spoiler alert: It won’t. For those who love a whole lot of fun, this one’s for you. If you’re looking for a darker story, look somewhere else (Maybe Utopian System (;) This one’s about having fun and taming expectations. _______ We will use the same Discord from my first book, come join! https://discord.gg/W3CjfC2cw4 _______ Silly tags that seem to matter a lot to some readers: No Yaoi, No Yuri, Possibly Harem (Vote! I can write either, and in any case, there will be multiple girls. The only difference is whether he chooses one in the end or goes the "liberal" route.... democracy is yours!), No NTR.

Crying My Way Through the Beast World: Eight Males, Zero Escape

[Irresistible Female Lead + Beast World + 1vN + Male Rivalry Shuraba + A Record of Time Management Fails] The moment she opened her eyes, Ruan Fu transmigrated into a Beast World novel as the infertile, vicious female side character. Before her was one of the female lead's Beast Husbands, who was currently in heat. Recalling her original ending of being humiliated and dying a tragic death, Ruan Fu decisively decided to take a piece of the pie from the female lead. Thus, not only did she snatch away her men, but she also played innocent, making the top-tier males of the Beast World willingly become her protectors. However, Ruan Fu, who firmly believed in having multiple options and paths, never expected that by just crooking her finger, they would all swarm towards her. Seeing this, Ruan Fu decided that of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, fleeing was the best option, leaving them behind in disarray on the battlefield of male rivalry. ——Disaster Skit—— On the day of Ruan Fu's wedding to the cold and gloomy snake-man, a large group of Beastmen from other clans suddenly appeared in Snake Valley. The aloof and abstinent Dragon Clan Clan Leader blocked the front of the hall, "Fufu, let's go to that hot spring you said you wanted to soak in last night." The domineering Tiger Clan leader, bursting with raw tension, tightly gripped her hand, "A fu, I will not allow you to marry him." The aloof and tsundere cat-eared youth knelt before her: "Fufu, don't you want to touch my cat ears again?" The rational and cunning Fox Clan Fate held up her hair ribbon, "A fu, you left this at my place." The gentle, husband-like Rabbit Clan Shaman watched her tenderly: "A fu, I missed you." ... In response, the one and only legal Beast Husband declared, "What does my wedding have to do with any of you? Get the hell out." But unexpectedly, the younger brother he had always doted on cut in front of him, "Brother, actually, the one who isn't loved is the real third wheel..."
