Posted September 27, 2013 (edited) @catstaff: If you want to add the form of book, you can, but it's not necessary. There can be even different editions in the same form with different numbers of pages. @Tatrina: Online unpublished fiction counts if it's over 20k words. I don't know much about wattpad, but from what I've seen they have unpublished fiction and fanfiction. The first one counts. Just put the number of words instead of the number of pages in the form. If the story could be considered unsuitable for minors, post the title, but don't post the link. PM the project account with the link. Sorry for the late replies.

But they start to pull apart when Sadie runs wild during her Rumschpringe and dates an Englisher boy, allowing him liberties she shouldn’t, even after she joins the church. Meanwhile Leah is dating a proper Amish boy named Jonas… to her father Abram’s dismay, as he’d set his heart on Leah, his favorite, marrying their neighbor’s son Gid. But Leah still loves her older sister enough to keep secrets for her… including the fact that Sadie hid a pregnancy and gave birth to a premature baby boy in the home of their old-maid aunt Lizzie, helped only by the local doctor… whose younger son is the baby’s father.

But Abram still hopes she will change her mind and wed Gid instead, so he first tells Jonas that Leah is not actually his daughter, but is really Lizzie’s illegitimate child, then allows a rumor to reach him that she dated Gid in his absence. Sadie tries to flee her memories by visiting in the same community where Jonas is, but angry with Leah for telling their parents of her transgressions, makes sure Jonas never gets Leah’s letter denying the rumors.

But in an effort to protect his family’s name as well as hers on that fateful night, the doctor had exchanged him for a truly stillborn baby born on the same night… leaving Sadie’s son to be raised as Jonas’ young brother Jake, a fact that even Jake’s parents didn’t know. But when Jake and Lydiann fall for one another, Leah must find a way to separate them, in order to prevent Lydiann from marrying her nephew by blood.
