Summary
This is the story of a man named Henry Oxford.
Henry worked as an independent author at a publishing firm where he was yet another fiction author (who most people found to be far too full of himself to be more than tolerable at best).
Titles came and went, and Henry worked on and on at his computer, chapter after chapter for each manuscript and novel. This is what Henry did every day, of every month, of every year, and although others may have considered it soul-rending, he would (poorly and half-heartedly) disagree. He felt as though he’d been made for this job, despite the misery it caused him on occasion. And, for the most part, Henry was happy.
And then, one day, something very… peculiar happened. Something that would forever change Henry; something he would never quite forget.
-
Or, The Narrator is a recently divorced author, and Stanley is an intern at the publishing firm he frequents. Hijinks ensue.

Summary
Calvin should hate himself for how easy it is to lie to you. He should hate himself for how much he enjoys bending you to his will. But he doesn't hate himself, he doesn't even try. In the beginning, he had tried to delude himself into thinking he was doing the right thing in rewriting you. He told himself he was helping you and for a time he was content in believing that it was true. But with every edit he made to you it became clear it wasn't about making you happy anymore. It was about him.
Because the truth was that Calvin was a selfish man who wanted you all to himself. He wanted you to belong to him. He had made you after all, was it so awful for him to want to keep you as his perfect girl?

Summary
Writers hope to bring their characters to life, but Hux never imagined it could happen like this.
[excerpt]:
Hux shoots Phasma an icy glare. "I'm not on anything," he says, batting her away. "I went to see Dr. Sloane like you suggested. And she said that part of my problem is that I have intimacy issues—big shocker—which is why I'm having so much difficulty writing my story. Because I can't make an emotional connection with others." He pauses, waiting for a denial or affront on his behalf, which doesn't come. "Anyway, she asked me to create a character who could connect with Millie—"Phasma arches a brow. "Millie? Why Millie?"
Hux feels the heat rise on his cheeks. "Because she's who I've had the longest, most meaningful relationship with? Anyway, Millie, by extension, means me. So I did what Sloane asked. I created someone named Ben Solo, AKA Kylo Ren. I spent over half the night dreaming up his backstory." He ignores the smirk on Phasma's face and continues. "And when I woke up, he was alive and naked and in my bed."

Summary
There are three things the Esteemed Reader ought to know about Anthony J. Crowley.
1) he is the love interest of Aziraphale's newest publication.
2) he is written to be the perfect husband, charming and handsome and attentive and a variety of other adjectives Aziraphale will forever deny he used a thesaurus to find.
3) he's currently sitting on Aziraphale's sofa, a good deal less fictional than he has any right to be.Or: Aziraphale accidentally writes his dream man into existence, Gabriel wishes he were someone else's editor - not to mention someone else's brother - and The Modern Prometheus reeeeeaaally should've served as a cautionary tale…
(Written for the goromcom event! Based loosely on the movie Ruby Sparks.)
