This will most likely be my last update in this book for 2015 so a very happy new year to all of my followers and readers. Thinking of you all at this time, and even during the holiday season, I'm looking forward and this is where you guys come in!

Sometime in Mid-February 2016, You and Me, my teen romance story will be removed from the Featured List because a story is only entitled to six months promotion on it. Once a story has been on that list, it can't be put back on it again. Being on the Featured List has been a really positive and successful move for myself and my writing gaining readers and feedback by the hundreds. Once You and Me is off the list, I am able to submit another one of my stories when completed for it. The only problem is... I can't decide which one to submit!

Wattpad do prefer longer stories, they don't accept one-shots so I can't submit anything like The Brother I Lost or Prom Moment. It has to be a longer piece of fiction and completed. Now, apart from You and Me, I don't really have any longer pieces of fiction that I can try and submit. So... I've narrowed things down to five options. 4 current works that are posted or have been posted on here before. If you guys help me come to a decision quickly, I can spend more time working on the story so that it is ready for submission at the end of February 2016. The four stories that I have in mind (with the various pros and cons) are:

The Navy Boy

A Teen Romance story inspired by the true crush that I had on my best friend. It's a new twist on the classic teen romance full of drama, emotions and first loves. The only real issue that could possibly stop me is that there are a lot of teen romance stories on the List at the moment and it could get lost under them.

A for Anxiety

A Teen Drama story about a girl Fizz (Felicity) who suffers from Anxiety. This is inspired by true feelings and occurrences with my Anxiety. There are two potential issues, one is that the story is quite upsetting in parts so it wouldn't be suitable for the lighthearted. The second is that there is another story on Wattpad with a not quite so similar storyline like this one since I tried to mix things up a little but I could get into hot water if people believed that I copied the other story.

The Forgotten Girl

A Teen Drama story about Amy Downs who is horribly bullied at school and she tries to navigate her way through final year with another girl Amber. I started writing this story in 2013 and although I do like it, the editing for it currently is slow and to be honest, quite tedious. If this was chosen, it would take me longer than three months to finish it and perfect it.

Hope

A Teen story about eleven year old Lizzie Richardson who starts Secondary School and makes a new friend. It is inspired by true events in my own life and without wanting to give things away, writing about it actually made me feel better. The major downside to this one is the age of the protagonists. I've received complaints on this story from readers who said that the age of Lizzie for the things that she was going through was way too young. I kept Lizzie's age at 11/12 because that was the age when I experienced the things that Lizzie goes through in this story. I do have plans to write some sort of sequel/spin-off to this story and changing the age would mess things up. On the other hand, this is the story that has made the most writing progress so far since it is nearly completed far more than the other options so I could finish it quickly. But yeah, things could turn nasty for this one.

A new story altogether

Of course, if none of the above was to work out, the only other realistic option is to start fresh with a new story. I have tons of ideas for lots of stories including my first ever ChickLit novel as well as some YA mystery/Thrillers and some Fantasy stories. The main downside would be they would take longer to write and edit as they haven't started yet therefore my attempts for the Featured List would be delayed until summer 2016 at least.

OK, so those are the options. It would be great if you could in the comments section below, put down the title that you would most like to see me try and finish writing and aim for the Featured List. It would be very helpful if you could put some genuine reasons why you want to see that story over the other options. I will keep this open until the 4th of January so as of the 29th of December, you have a total of six days to vote. The option with the most mentions in the comments section below will be the winner.

Remember. I do know the possibility that Wattpad may approach me and say that my story can't be Featured because it's not what they are looking for so putting a second option down would be great too as a plan B for me in case that scenario was to occur. The Wattpad team were very nice last time and answered all of my questions.

Thanks guys!

All my love, Scarlett x
