(Returning) Patricia K
Fanfiction Writer
I'm Patricia, a 20-year-old writer on Wattpad and a third-year pharmacy student. I began my writing journey in 2021 during the lockdown, but I’ve been passionate about storytelling long before that. While English isn't my first language, my education and the influence of various shows have helped me hone my skills, inspiring me to transition from school essays to writing full-fledged novels. To date, I've completed two fanfiction books: Future [H.S], a science fiction novel inspired by my love for the Maze Runner series, and Rhythm [H.S], a romantic realistic fiction short story. I’m currently working on two more projects: Trauma [H.S], a realistic fiction novel that is based on true events, and Simulacrum [H.S], another exciting sci-fi adventure. You can find them on Wattpad under Pats1Dbooks. My studies in pharmacy enrich my writing, allowing me to incorporate real-world knowledge into my fictional worlds. When I’m not writing, you can find me immersed in music—I play both the viola and violin and enjoy singing. Reading, especially science fiction, is another of my great passions, often serving as a source of inspiration for my stories. At the moment, I write for fun and as an escape from reality, but I dream of one day publishing physical books to share my stories with a wider audience.

(Returning) J. Alleyn Winchester
Literary & Spiritual Fantasy Author
J. Alleyn Winchester is the author of Artemis of the Dodekatheon and Nature Calls, Spring. Listening to his father play on his guitar before reading bedtime stories from the Children’s Book of Virtues, Aesop’s Fables, or The Chronicles of Narnia was a beloved bedtime ritual. He fell in love with how myth and lore shaped generations of cultures and studied storytelling from literary, theatrical, and spiritual perspectives from a young age. They inspired him to write his own tales, starting with one page shorts that would grow into a few chapters. In middle school, he found that stories helped him navigate the complexities of growing up with depression, anxiety, and alternative world views. When he was sixteen, he began developing three, far-reaching series that would later be called The Triad Sagas, two of which were Dodekatheon and Nature Calls. He married his high school sweetheart and muse who shares his love of storytelling with their feline familiar, Archibald. Together, they hope the Imaginings Universe plants new seeds of inspiration in the hearts and minds of generations now and to come.
