Introduction & TOC

Introduction

This book is a collection of short stories and one-shots in celebration of the bands I loved growing up, and those I still can't get over. These stories will be primarily from prompts for the Pretty In Punk Book Club Mini Contests, but if I am inspired to write other stories, I'll post them here too.

Although some of these stories will be fan fictions and characters will be based off of real people, these are my own interpretation, and I've taken creative liberties for the purpose of entertainment. These stories are in no way meant to offend anyone or provide realistic depictions of what the individuals represented are actually like. Instead, the purpose of these stories is to be fun and entertaining, as well as an expression of my appreciation and love for these celebrities.

I don't usually write fan fiction, but I thought, why not? This could be fun. Fair warning, these stories will be very different than what I usually write. Continue on at your own risk. Consider yourself warned. 😉😈

1. The Ghost of Ohio

🥇1st Place in Pretty in Punk's September 2019 Prompt Mini Contest🥇

Prompt: "Imagine living next door to Andy" from PrettyInPunkBookClub September 2019 Mini Contests.

Summary: When Emily and Jessica discover that their new neighbor is rockstar Andy Biersack, they can hardly control their inner fangirls. But, when he catches them spying on him and comes over to confront them, in a fit of nerves, Emily fabricates a lie about his house being haunted. Andy suggests they hold a seance, but the girls might not be the last ones laughing. Some houses really are haunted, and some ghosts don't like to be made into a joke.

2. Bowling for a Bridesmaid

Prompt: An Ashley Purdy fan fiction written based on a request from Starelf555 

Summary: After turning up to brunch hungover as hell, Ashley Purdy thinks he doesn't have a shot with the adorable waitress Annie. But, when she ends up giving him her number along with the check, Ashley finds himself in a time crunch to go on a date with her before the Black Veil Brides' tour heads out of town the next morning. Strapped for what to do and not finding any help from his mischievous band mates, Ashley ends up inviting Annie out to go bowling. Will he be able to charm the sweet but saucy vixen before showtime, or will his own awkward bumbling and pranking band mates ruin his chance at love between the lanes?

3. From the Closet

🥉 3rd Place in PrettyInPunkBookClub October Halloween Prompt Mini Contest 🥉
