Link to the fan vote --->

Everyone, please welcome the participants of the first specialized category: the fan vote!

They are:

4everSherlocked with the book The Cupid Complex.

I wasn't expecting fan vote to close before I posted the AOTY introduction, so I already wrote an introduction for Sherly in the AOTY category... so if it seems out of order, shhh no it doesn't.

Anywho!

4everSherlocked, or Sherly, is a close friend of mine and very talented writer. Known for her hit The Cupid Complex, she writes K-pop fanfictions covering a wide variety of topics, with her specialty being characters (in my humble opinion, anyway) and bringing to life interesting themes through the lens of these characters.

I'm excited to see what the fans are saying about your book in the fan vote (I totally haven't peeked already)! And, of course, I'm beyond excited to continue Bubble!

sugararmy07 with the book The Cheating Game.

Honey, or sugararmy07, is another dear friend of mine, who you may recognize from the new Oscars Awards I published recently. She is the co-host of that and did all of the graphics, and they're all so stunning.

Honey is an incredible person, writer, and graphic designer, who is always so unbelievably supportive of the community, and she deserves so much love and support for the work she does to keep Wattpad a fun place. I've read quite a few of her works, like The Cheating Game, Twin Swap, Entangled, and far more, and all of them are bangers, so I highly recommend! Honey, it's an honor to have you here!

SSears90 with the book Meet Me At Midnight.

Does Sears even need an introduction?

The icon, the legend: SSears90. Sears is a close friend of mine (Armys who bark for Jimin together STAY together, bestie) who is known for too many hits to count, including too many stories to count because holyyy, what do you mean over 200 stories published??? Huh??? Dang, I admire the dedication.

Sears writes brotherly BTS stories, often focusing on specific emotions or general themes to give the reader a lot to think about. Sears also recently released a Squid Game x BTS crossover fanfic, which I strongly recommend checking out. Can't go wrong with Squid Game, right?

Oh, and you should totally read the Jimin psychopath fanfic... yum... what a man... he can lock me up any da-

I mean, ahem, anyway.

Thanks for signing up, Sears!!!

emilypoole977 with the book I Wish For Another Life.

Emily is yet another another another friend of mine who is very active in the community, participating in many contests and really putting herself out there! I've personally watched her growth for well over a year now, and it's honestly been an honor to watch how far she's come. You're doing great, Emily, and every new work I read by you gets better and better.

The highlight of Emily's profile is just how creative she is. All of her ideas are centered around emotions and portraying them in unique ways, like how I Wish For Another Life takes the reader on a journey with BTS member Kim Namjoon as he sees other versions of himself, living their lives and teaching him to appreciate his own life. It's a really cool message portrayed in an interesting way, with each new life we see more unique than the last.

So I highly recommend supporting Emily! She's growing more and more by the day, and I'm very excited to see what she'll do next!

BookLover3062 with the book Angels in Disguise, in collaboration with bookwormrp.

BookLover3062, or Ava, has a lot of stories available on her profile for you to choose from, leaving no shortage of entertainment for you guys! Along with that, Ava has The Foodie Awards releasing in February of 2025, which is really exciting to hear, and I hope you have a blast with the awards, Ava.

I've read Runaway Princess, and it's a very good story, so I recommend checking that out, but also, I encourage you guys to check out Shattered and Fangs and Fates. Well, checking out Ava's whole profile would be awesome, but if we had to narrow it down to three, I'd say definitely check out those three! Especially Shattered. Poetry collections deserve more recognition!

kookiebear0901 with the book Mr. & Mrs. CEO.

Kookiebear is known for Mr. & Mrs. CEO, a book with over 56k reads! Congratulations on 50k+ reads, that's an amazing milestone! Another milestone is the fact that the book has almost 100 chapters, totaling 97 right now. You're a writing machine!

But Mr. & Mrs. CEO is not the only book Kookie has to offer. There's also Soul Piece, which was made in collaboration with ivyb4winter. I've read Soul Piece before, and also some other work by Ivy (and also also Mr. & Mrs. CEO... I've basically read your whole profiles!), so I can confirm that these works are really engaging reads, and I strongly recommend them!

Thank you for entering the fan vote category, and I can't wait to see what works you come up with next!

Sohinigoswami with the book Ruinous Tangles.

Sohini has "versatile" at the top of her bio, and man is she not kidding. I very, very strongly recommend checking out her poetry collections, as all of them are diverse and feel like you're getting transported into new worlds and themes dripping with creativity. Speaking of, at the time of writing this, Sohini just released two new poems to Secrets of the Shadows, called "passing ghost" and "A rose arose," so you guys should go check those out!

Oh, and also, Sohini has amazing reading lists with creative names that I had a blast looking through. Naming your reading lists after dates and flings is hilarious, and then there's also the deeper titles like Weeping willow. If you're looking for good recs, definitely take a gander at Sohini's reading lists!

Thank you for signing up for the WHO Mini Awards, and I can't wait to post the fans' thoughts on your work!

Iyah-M with the book The Oceanuris Story: Complete Edition.

Iyah has two works: The Oceanuris Story: Complete Edition and The Essay Collection. I've read The Essay Collection and wrote an intro as well for AOTY, so expect to see Iyah back very, very soon! But since I've read The Essay Collection, I can safely say Iyah is a very creative author with no shortage of ideas.

Every chapter I read in The Essay Collection, as you'll see me praise in my upcoming review, was unique and so different from the last, so I definitely strongly recommend checking out The Essay Collection whenever you have time!

I'm also super curious about Oceanuris. It's a fantasy dealing with the world called the same thing: Oceanuris, and that intrigues me right off the bat when I see cool new worlds and fantasy. I can't wait to take a look! Everyone, please go support this author!

zarav_oss with the book Jude's Philosophy of Gay Cancer.

Zara Voss (yet another sick name... what is it with authors and having the coolest names?) is a dark and contemporary romance writer, known for works like Jude's Philosophy of Gay Cancer, Bound to the Stars, and the unique 100 Gripping Facts that receives daily updates. That's a really cool idea!

While probably already obvious by the Philosophy in the title, Zara frequently writes about philosophical and psychological ideas, which is yet another cool thing. Wow, Zara's profile sounds cool, right? It's not just me thinking this, right??? Or maybe I'm biased because I love psych, who knows, but either way, what a cool profile!

Thank you for signing up, Zara, and I can't wait to take a dive into your work!

maskedinthelight with the book Daisies and Diamonds.

maskedinthelight, or Elma or J. Jones (both sick pen names), is known for Daisies and Diamonds, an ongoing mafia romance, along with The King's Assassin, which is nearing 20,000 views! Congratulations on that milestone, that's a huge achievement.

Outside of writing, Elma also enjoys music, like BTS and ATEEZ, which is really, really good taste, in my humble, totally non K-pop stan opinion. Along with that, Elma also enjoys anime and Miraculous, which is again pretty good taste. 

I strongly recommend checking out Daisies and Diamonds! Thank you for signing up, Elma!
