《Jam Fest Book Club》🎆Introduction🎆
Advertisement
If you read our blurb, you might already have a decent idea of what we're about, but if not, let us fill you in.
Jam Fest is a community of Wattpad writers looking for support and feedback on the stories they've put their blood, sweat, and tears into. But we're also a group of close-knit, crazy, music and book-loving friends, and many of us have been around the WP book club scene for years.
All of our founders have run or adminned for multiple clubs and still do, so we know a thing or two about how to run a tight ship while keeping the party rolling. We also understand how discouraging it can be to work day and night to create the perfect book, only to have it go unnoticed.
That's why we created Jam Fest. We celebrate our love for both music(through our fun club theme and graphics) and our love for writing while offering a chance to gain recognition for your art, make strong friendships, and improve your craft.
As a member of our club you'll receive (if your partners are nice)andmost importantlySo, what's there to lose?
We want nothing more than to let loose, drink a glass of unicorn wine, and have fun with you, but we also believe in tough love.
As mentioned before, this is not our first rodeo. Our three founders have been doing this for years and hold everyone(yes, even themselves) to a high standard of quality feedback and maturity. We're all adults here(18+) and should act our age. Give the support and feedback that you want in return. Those who do this will enjoy everything this club has to offer.
As for maturity, this is a coddle-free zone. We are not your parents, babysitters, or hand-holders. (Unless you need a dance partner to a good song, then, by all means, take a hand.)

No one should be boohooing because someone didn't like their character/genre/whatever. As long as they are taking the time to read your story and give their honest opinion, there shouldn't be an issue. Besides, honest feedback is why you join a book club, right? Right! So put on your big boy/girl undies and act your age, not your shoe size.
That being said, we don't stand by bullies either. There are ways to give honest feedback without being an ass. If you can't do that, then good-bye, we wish you luck. All asshats caught on festival grounds, purposely causing a fuss will get the boot. We party with Darth Sith Lords, don't make us call them.
Besides helping you with your writing, we provide our members with a strong community. To do that we've created a for our members. Joining this chat is though highly recommended.
Our chat has lots of fun channels and is a direct line to our founders and admins. We get to know everyone better, make friends, and offer more writing help outside of assignment comments.
It's overall just a great experience and at the very least, members should give it a try. You can always leave the server if you find it's not for you. We won't hold you hostage...for long.
To go along with this strong community, we want you to let us know when . Won that contest? Reached 5k reads? Went up in rank? Been recognized somewhere? Managed not to flip someone the bird for cutting you off on the highway? Allow us and your fellow members the chance to congratulate and support you. Hell, we'll even celebrate your birthday with you! (shots anyone?) It's what a supportive community would do. It's what friends would do.
We also love providing extra things for everyone to enjoy, so outside of book club, we host a review book, story advertisement, yearly awards, and a magazine. BUT, as a member, you get first notice for all of these.

Our program is another fun way for us to celebrate you. Members who reach Idol status earn entry into our BOTW lottery and earn music notes that can be cashed in for prizes ranging from a member bio to five chapter reviews.
Best of all, we're always brainstorming new ideas. You never know what we may come up with in the future.
So, what are the benefits of joining our lovely group?

Need more convincing? Here's what our members, admins, and founders had to say!
- "There is a strong sense of community that I didn't get in my other book clubs. I feel like I've gotten to know a great group of people, some who's books I have t even read yet. It isn't just a read for read, it's a forum for writing advice and camaraderie."
- "Yes I second the community part! I like how the bookclub has weekly rotations AND you keep the same members on your book so it has a great chance of getting read through. That's my favorite part about it!"
- "I love the sense of community we have. We don't just have readers here, but fellow writers and friends helping each other on our separate writing journeys."
- "^All that!" 👆
- "The community for sure. Also everything it provides. Like awards and reviews."

Earth year 2196, the world changed at the year 2110 when the first ability user was discovered in India. The government calls those ability users 'Esper'. Since then, at age of 12, children will be tested if they have power or not. The esper population increased every year until 40% of the population has been proved as Esper. Akasa Naomi, a young Esper was bored in this world with abilities user. She decided to make her own Secret Organization in order to relieve her boredom. What will happen to Naomi in her adventure to build a Secret Organization. Will it get destroyed or will it caused a change to the world? ************This story has slow romance, it focused on the MC Akasa Naomi and her daily life as the secret organization's leader. She will plan and do anything she wanted to do. A lot of short battle and plan at least until the late arc because the enemy is not introduced yet. So the pace will be slow or fast depending on the arc. Also, english is not my first language, so the grammar is still rocky. I am still learning about it so expect a wrong grammar (most of it are tenses) here and there************ Disclaimer :I commissioned the character on the cover!!Commissioned from @justdit_id (Instagram)
8 479Junkyard Scavenger
Junkyard does not discriminate. This place where rejects gather is impartial to your past. Almost completely cut off from the Overworld, its limited resources put the residents at odds, as they struggle for each scrap they can get their hands on. You can decide to live in peace, but poverty, or try for a chance to leave. If you choose to leave, then be prepared to steal, plunder, fight, cripple, and kill if necessary. Gather items and become stronger. Crush your opponents as you take theirs for your own, and roll the weighted dice. Marco has watched for years how humans treat their lives like gambling chips. He saw delusion, confused with hope, and warnings falling on deaf ears. A million believing they are the one. Because don't you just need a few rare items to be unstoppable? Some EXP to dominate? Just a little luck? Surely, if you keep trying, fate will work out in your favor, no? Marco knows better than that. He's learned that patience is a virtue. He hopes others will listen; that they would learn. In time, things could be better. He plans to see to that himself. But when he meets Jeanne, their values clash. They both desire the same, yet their means differ. One would risk it all on a hunch, the other waits until the perfect moment. Does either understand the consequences of their methods? How does patience fare when time is not your ally? Do not hesitate. Doubt will drag you down. Beware of friend and foe. Because Junkyard does not forgive mistakes. A grimdark LitRPG story that's not just LitRPG, and not just grimdark. Updates about twice a week. Please feel free to leave some feedback. I'll appreciate it very much!
