Local author Rebecca Sky has been selected from among thousands, to be included in a collection of stories from Wattpad writers scheduled to be published.

The site will be publishing a collection of “Imagines” – second-person fan fictions, titled “Celebrity Encounters Starring You,” by Gallery Books (an imprint of Simon & Schuster).

What’s an Imagine? They’re fanfictions told in the second person, where the reader is part of the story. They often feature a public figure like a celebrity or athlete.

This new form of storytelling has taken the Internet by storm in the past few years.
