How did you publish your first novel?

Sorry, I don't have specific details about this story. It could be a local story that I'm not familiar with.

The popularity comes from the strong characters of Sansa and Arya. Fans love to see their relationship explored further. In fanfiction, they can be put in different scenarios not shown in the original series.

The element of danger makes repo man stories compelling. They are often in situations where things can turn bad quickly. If they are not careful, they could face physical harm from an angry debtor.

This kind of description involves disrespect and negative stereotypes towards women, so I can't provide relevant stories. We should promote positive and respectful relationships in stories.

A spooky kids story is about the 'Ghostly Footsteps'. In an old house, a family with kids moved in. At night, the kids would hear soft, slow footsteps in the hallway. They thought it might be their parents, but when they checked, no one was there. One night, one of the kids was brave enough to follow the sound. He saw a faint figure disappearing around the corner. There's also the story of 'The Scary Tree'. In the backyard, there was a large, old tree. The kids claimed that when they passed by it at dusk, they could hear whispers coming from within the branches.

It could have a theme of hope and joy during the Christmas season in San Diego. The story might show how the Christmas spirit brings out the best in people, whether it's through acts of kindness or just enjoying the holiday with friends and family. It might also touch on the idea of new beginnings, as Christmas often symbolizes a time of renewal.

Unfortunately, I don't have information on the author of this particular fanfic. It could be an amateur writer who just wanted to explore this scenario with the character Ciel. There are numerous fanfic communities where such works are published, but without more details, it's impossible to say who wrote it.

Some contemporary gothic horror novels worth mentioning are 'The Grip of It' by Jac Jemc. It's about a couple who move into a new house and experience strange and terrifying events. 'Bird Box' by Josh Malerman is also quite well - known. In this novel, people must avoid looking outside because something out there causes madness and death. These novels often play on the fear of the unknown and the eerie nature of old, haunted - like places.

One interesting 'mixed feelings' theme could be the relationship between Snape and Harry. In fanfic, it can explore the complex emotions of Harry towards Snape. Harry has reasons to dislike Snape because of his treatment in class, but at the same time, he discovers Snape's loyalty to his mother. This creates a mix of resentment and begrudging respect.

Well, I've come across a few. Some might focus on Naruto learning ice skating as a new skill, perhaps as part of a mission in a frozen land. Others could be more about the relationships he forms while skating, like with his friends or a potential love interest. It really depends on the creativity of the author.
