Rewind The Classics 2021 Chapter 1
Advertisement
Hello, talented writers of Wattpad!
As storytellers, we are always looking for new ideas. But there’s something oddly fascinating and intriguing in seeing a well-known story told in a completely new way. There may have been multiple points in your writing journey in which you’ve wondered how a story may have turned out if the main character was the villain or if a happy ending didn’t turn out so happy...
Rewind the Classics has returned to give you another opportunity to explore a classic from a completely different perspective. The challenge is simple, take a classic story and put your own creative spin on it! We accept stories with a lot of unexpected and unpredictable elements and plot twists. Don’t be afraid to think outside of the box. We hope to see you all come up with some interesting combinations!

Battle Trucker
Jill MacLeod might be just a long haul trucker with a dirty mouth and back pain, but with Bertha the big rig under her she always makes her deliveries. When Mana, monsters, and an RPG style levelling system comes to Earth it's the end of the world as anyone knows it: the apocalypse is here. On her journey it's just Jill, her Soulbound truck, and any survivor she can find against the universe. Mutated animals, aliens, dragons, droid armies… it doesn’t matter. Nothing’s going to stop Jill from making her way home. Blare the Horns of Valhalla and let slip the Rigs of War! [A story in the apocalyptic LitRPG genre] [Warning tags: Profanity, Gore]

What follows is her subjective experience with the Kindness Facility and its staff. Follow along, won’t you? And remember, the biggest joy in this world, is spreading kindness. Even if Begrudgingly.

8 193Loving You
Just a little something to help you love yourself because you are pretty amazing For those of you who know me, this is my second short story. You can find the first one, but wouldn't reccomend because it selves into a lot of dark thoughts I had during one of my toughest times. I wanted to do something like it, but put a much more positive spin to it instead. Let me know what you guys think!
8 264The Everyday Life of A Pathfinder
Pathfinders are people who are respected and revered, not because of power or might, but because of knowledge of the world. They are the peacekeepers between humans and nature. Guiding humans through the most dangerous areas known to man and killing any species which attempts to throw off the balance of the natural world. This is their job - and their passion. *** Note: This story is going to have a few generic elements in it, like fantasy setting, guilds, cursing and stuff like that. A few (a lot) of things it won’t have is: Overly bloody descriptions, I don’t need to have enough buckets of gore to fill a ballroom for people to get that guy is defiantly dead; Rape, I don’t like it and it’s honestly painful writing that stuff; Harems, fuck harems; Overpowered MC, EVER; Game elements/ transported to another world, overused as shit; “I’m out for revenge”, no one cares; “My village was burned down and everyone died ;-;”, yeah you and the other 60% of the population; A lot of overly dramatic events, Drama has its time and place to be impactful, so you need to use it sparingly so when you do it’s special; “I’m going to stab you because I’m CrAZy, I believe that everyone has a reason for what they do, sometimes the reason is because they’re fucking insane, but I’m still not going to write things like that; Generic fantasy creatures, I’m tired of hearing about the fucking mystical dragons or the god damn slimes, so I’m going to create my own monster. Also feel free to roast. I don't get offended easily and it's honestly one of the best ways to increase writing abilites.
