A long, cliche, twisted, and absolutely f**king insane story.

My first story was a drama called Cruelty of Ice. The MC was named Savannah and she was the new girl at her high school, Sierra High. She met another girl, Pamela, who was actually the villain that wanted revenge on her! There was a gay character named Mark who was Australian (I think?) had some sort of stalker. Can’t fully remember.

So anyways, Savannah encounters the LI Derek Walters at the school library and develops an insta-crush. And then there were the mean girls, Stephanie, Clara, and Victoria (aka Vicky.) They were sorta complex, Stephanie was working as a maid for Derek and his mom (and she had a soft side for Savannah? I was 15, I don’t know what I was writing.) Clara was a closeted lesbian with gay parents whose girlfriend broke up with her. Then she met the MC’s sister (Melissa) and they started dating. And Vicky was being abused at home by her dad, and Stephanie and Clara teamed up with the police to save her. Bonkers, I know.

So the mean girls embarrass Savannah and Derek comes to her, they fall in love and go out on a date, with her staying the night at his place. (???) And Pamela is pissed, so she decides to work with her friend(?) Layla to destroy her reputation. It works and Savannah becomes an outcast. Even Mark betrays her for literally no reason lol.

THEN Pamela has a boyfriend (that comes out of nowhere :joy:) named Dave who she gets to kidnap Savannah after she gets out of detention with Stephanie (they got into a fight and the principal punished them. Bear with me. I truly don’t know what I was doing.)

I COMPLETELY FORGOT TO MENTION Savannah’s (secret) older sister, Linda Romero, who both Savannah and Derek meet. And Linda literally tells him this THE MINUTE THEY MEET!

Oh yeah, and Derek had that cliche crazy ex, her name was Carmen. She was abusive too and some waitress named Kiki saved him???

And then there was supposed to be a sequel in Limelight called Rest In Payback where Linda avenges Savannah’s death. Yes she died at the end. And that sequel was even more nonsensical than Cruelty of Ice.

Oh, and the ending? Derek is devastated about Savannah’s death, Carmen comes back to ruin his life (she also caused Savannah’s death, which was a car crash & shooting?), Melissa and Clara get engaged, Stephanie wanted to get everything Derek and his mom had? I don’t even think I gave her a JOB, but she was rich. And Stephanie was a convict and went to prison at some point. Vicky was probably the only redeemed person. Savannah’s parents divorced and then died (I made this up.)

I’m thinking of rewriting Cruelty of Ice in Limelight as a show/drama either gone wrong or with a mystery element to it. I’d consider Deadly Nightshade to possibly be a polished version of that story, though. But not really.

Your story is so crazy but a re-written version of it would be cool.

I agree. I have no idea how I’ll rewrite it, though.

Hey, y’all. Back from the dead and back into cringeworthy story content. It’s a new year so why not return to the good ole cringefest? :relieved:

Enjoy part 5 with pictures.

Bumping to say that Episode should allow us to delete stories. I mean, I do plan on rewriting Cruelty of Ice someday as a potential murder mystery. But not now, noooo way. :sob:

Anyone else have cringy old scripts they wanna share? I’ll cringe with you!

Hey, guys. It’s been a while since I posted any of my cringe stories and stuff. I was in the middle of making videos for my Youtube channel which is called Venus Daystar. You can go ahead and check it out on your own time. In the meantime, I’m gonna re-read the whole thread of cringe stories cuz they make me laugh every time :rofl: :rofl: :joy:

I used to think that you had to buy some kind of hidden package on the app to actually write stories like the ones you see coming from the portal, (back then, I didn’t even know that the portal existed) and I actually published a story I wrote using the mobile creator, but it was before I created my portal account, so it’s not with all my other stuff :melting_face:

Last time I checked, that story either didn’t have a title, or I titled it something random, and the directing was all over the place :sob:

This is definitely the best thread I’ve ever seen.

I’ve scrolled so far up and I’m honestly having a laugh at this. I’m remembering my first ever story and I think its still up now, it was called ‘random thing’ or something along those lines. Already by the 2nd chapter, the characters were already in love, there was no build up at all or chemistry between them and I only made 6 chapters of it and ended it right there, it was written in ink, I don’t know what I was thinking but it still managed to get a few reads somehow without me even trying to promote it, the directing was a proper mess. :sob:
