Nevertheless, when heartbreak catches him, too, Milo must push past his grief to save himself and his wish. Maisie Claire is ready to move on but not prepared to leave her family after two years for the DCP.

It starts with discovering the courage to befriend her mysterious suitemate and thanking Milo for everything he's done. After all, sometimes moving on just takes a little bit of courage. *** *Based on a true story.* *Contains a subtle, LGBTQ+ subplot because of Disney's Inclusion Key, but it's not the main focus.

Chapter 1Inspired by Cat Videos | Author's Note

Facebook cats. Don't ask, but yes, that's where I got this idea. LOL!

Welcome, everyone, to Milo and Maisie, my very first entry for an open novella contest! I've wanted to try the Open Novella Contest since 2020 when I became active on Wattpad, but school and other stories distracted me. I was so pleased to make the ONC Longlist and Ambassador's Pick that I couldn't wait to expand the story!

Milo and Maisie is an autobiographical book, written in story format, about my experience with the Disney College Program in 2023-2024—my first step in moving on after my brother's tragic death in 2021. Up until May 15th, 2023, I stayed with my family so we could grieve together. Attending the DCP was a massive milestone, and I wanted to end it with a bang. Lo and behold, here came the ONC 2024!

Milo, the orange tabby, was inspired by my cat, Tanner, and obviously, Maisie Claire is me. I've learned so much with the DCP and can't wait to share my experiences!

Before you consider joining the DCP, though, let me warn you... It's not easy. I was so overwhelmed my first few weeks that I had to see a therapist for three months. Then again, it was also the first time I had separated from my family since Matthew.

While I'm embarrassed to admit that Disney put me in Custodial at All-Star Sports, I learned to appreciate it later. There was so much leeway with the job, and what made the Program were the people I worked with. Disney is a fantastic place to make friends, but they're tough on their CPs. Prepare for good and bad days, late nights, and almost no time off.

With that said, we need to help Milo and Maisie through this life-changing event so they can learn to appreciate the DCP as much as I do.

FYI, for the privacy of my family and brother, I'm not going to explain how Maisie's brother died, so please do not tell me to.

Also FYI, like most of my writing, this book is plot and character-driven with a screenplay-like format, so expect minimal descriptions and shorter chapters. This is my writing style, and as long as it works for me, that's all that matters.

Now, let's get the ball rolling and see what happens! I'll see y'all on the other side!

- Victoria/Viktoria

Review:

"Hey, Victoria! I read a portion of Milo and Maisie because it was already backed up on my other reading, and... Surprise! It is much better than I imagined it would be. Good sentence structure, plot development, and conversation flow, which is hard to do—action, always action. Patting the cat on the nose was good, for example. Grammar was good; most importantly, you wrote about what you know. We will consider publishing it on Kindle, but it's excellent. In realizing that very good still needs work, you might be able to make a career of this."

The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

[COMPLETE || WARNING: MATURE CONTENT 21+ // Watch Me Burn Them For You] "And if someday you see me, remember to forget my name, or karma will bow." **** For Awuor’s power, her people had done the unthinkable, in the history of werewolves. Her beta and brother, Dom, murdered their mother, the Sicario luna and blamed it on Awuor. In his grief, her father didn't bother to try and find out the truth, instead, for murdering her mother, he gave his daughter the worst punishment any alpha could ever get. He banished her from home, but Awuor’s wasn’t the usual banishment. Her father neither stripped her of the alpha title, nor did he make her a rogue. Instead, Alpha Sicario forced Awuor to be an exiled alpha, a woman so powerful, but with no one to rule over. Her mate, Jer, a power-hungry bastard, stepped up to rule the Sicario pack, since Awuor, the reigning alpha, was away, and Jer never once sought her out. Just like everyone else, he had betrayed her when he claimed a different woman, without rejecting Awuor. As the gates of Sicario closed on her, as her people watched her in disgust and disappointment, the daughter of Sicario had just one thought. A PROMISE of destruction & vengeance; she would ruin them all. *** [EXCERPT] "Either you're from the Dawson pack, the Bluemoon pack, or the Sicario pack, because you're definitely not from our Greyson pack. You must have done something really stupid for your alphas to banish you, even though you have no scent of the ferals. "So that could mean you're not a feral, but you're certainly not that important to your people. You seem to have an attitude and reek of power, that's why you don't appreciate anyone talking to you like a regular wolf. "But all of that doesn't matter right now, because you are the unwanted little wolf. The girl without a home, the rejected wolf who can't be claimed by anyone else. You're dressed in banana leaves because you have no clue how to make proper clothing on your own. "— or even check the feral cloth reservoir on the west of this forest. The fact that you have stayed so close to the other three packs is because you don't want to be away from home and are somehow hoping that they'd want you back. "Allow me to spell it out for you and make it easier for your probably useless brain to understand, little wolf, no one wants you. I'm only taking you to my alpha because your presence here is a nuisance to us, and for some reason, the alpha is interested in you. "And before you get any ideas about mates and whatnot, our alpha is already mated. So will you get up on your own, or do we have to take you stripped? Because I for one have no problem doing that. We could just treat you like the rogue that you're not," Adolf said to Awuor who still had her angry smirk on.

Escape from the evil lady (GL)

After learning about my girlfriend's infidelity, I got drunk and woke up in the world of the novel R-19. I became a character who is not even included in the extras of the novel — the useless and unnecessary daughter of the Duke de Walt. However, I didn't care about it, because I knew what this world was waiting for ahead. In the near future, the Ruvens Empire will be mired in chaos, and in order to survive it, I decided to quietly sit out in the manor enjoying a luxurious life. Everything went according to plan, until one day I made just one fatal mistake. A year after my rebirth, I accidentally found a wounded commoner in the forest. Out of pity, I decided to take her in and kept her. We lived together until I found out that this was the main villain who was supposed to die at the end of the novel. But because of my interference, the plot of this damn book continued with me! I have to run now! But where...?! After all, this crazy woman is now stalking me. — Where are you going, lady? — I… just went out for a walk. — Take a walk? The border of the empire is not the best place to walk. Let me walk you back. With the sword in her hand, I didn't have a chance to refuse.

The Demon Lord’s Bride (BL)

Getting transmigrated inside a novel is not really a bad thing—you know the story, you have the power of the future in your hand, you know all the hidden keys. You might as well end up as the most powerful and omniscient being in that world. That is, if you don’t wake up during the epilogue. And yet I find myself in the body of a fallen priest at the end of the novel, a tragic hero who had his mana circuit broken in the last war, being shunned, drown in debt, and destined to die not long after. Fortunately, I know just the cure. Unfortunately, the cure was in the hand of one of the Demon Lords—you know, the race that my kingdom just wage war with. Would he give me the cure if I asked him politely? There’s no harm in trying, right? I’d die if I didn’t get the cure, anyway. “Sure, but you have to be my bride as the price,” the Demon Lord said. ...huh? Sir, you know I’m (technically) a priest, right?

(BL) My Evil Werewolf System

It’s just that he never thought the Marshal he hated the most for several decades would suddenly use such a cheap trick to capture him.

[Ding.] [System Booting up] [Welcome to the Evil Werewolf System! I’m your system, 520!] Then, Yu Weimin was forced to jump from one world to another to save the villains. Wait, why do they seem like a certain Marshal he hates the most? Before he could confirm his suspicions, the villains started becoming stickier and stickier. Yu Weimin, “Honestly, did he capture me just to push me against the wall?” System 520: [.....Maybe?] Cold, heartless, and a criminal Shou X Smooth talker, egoistic, and vengeful Gong ***** Sneak peek~ Yu Weimin ignored his system and bent down to grab a certain little wolf by the neck. He stared at those red eyes filled with anger and slapped the wolf’s butt, making the latter shriek. A certain villain in his little wolf form bared his teeth. [Ding.] [Hatred value increased!] [Hatred value increased!] [Hatred value increased!] [Ho-Host…. Can you stop this?!! I’m gonna get a data error!!!!] Yu Weimin finally stopped torturing a certain villain and glared at the small pup in his arms. “If you dare to run away again, it won’t just be your butt that will face the consequences.” ***** Arc 1: ABO World!

The Werewolf's Vampire Mate

What is love? Love has a lot of meanings. To scientists, it is something that arises as a result of hormonal changes in the human body. To philosophers, it Is something that is triggered in human consciousness when two souls connect. it means a lot of different meanings to different people. Love is happiness to some, it is pain, sadness, ecstasy. It is an emotion that cannot really be explained. It is something that is meant to be felt. You also choose to be in love. But that didn’t happen to me. I didn’t get the opportunity to pick who I wanted to explore these crazy feelings with. It was chosen for me.
