Bad Prince Charming was inspired off of the classic tale we all know and question: Cinderella! I don't know about you guys but I was always frustrated with Cinderella's incessant inaction whenever the stepfamily would basically turn her life into a living hell. Not only that, while I loved Cinderella as a child, I felt often like I compared myself to her and would beat myself over not being a beautiful slim-waisted, blonde woman. So Bad Prince Charming is essentially my dark take on the story (with some Latina mix and a classic Grim's fairy tale tributes here and there). Also Fairy Godmother would be hella dope if she weren't some old lady in a hood. (No disrespect to the OG tho ✨)

Definitely keeping up update schedules. I'm multitasking a lot in addition to creating a comic version of the story

To my surprise, the response has been more positive than negative, and I'm super shocked that some of my awesome readers even have a favorite character. (The majority seems to like my version of Cinderella's Fairy Godmother :,D !!)
I enjoy(ed) writing the funny scenes, like when Amora (AKA Cinderella) bitch slaps her Prince Charming in the face with her shoe. ✨ I also enjoyed seeing people's reactions to the dark twists of the story. *cues evil laughter*
5 ?
As of now, it's definitely a stand alone but I do plan to write at least one more Twisted Fairytale in the future!

I want them to realize how important they are despite what anyone says or how anyone makes you feel. Whether it be in a positive or negative way, don't rely on the thoughts and opinions of others and trust in your self love.....and don't smack people with your chancla unless it's completely necessary

Don't feel pressured or obligated to anyone. If you're in a slump or you're stuck in writers block, don't force yourself to pump out new chapters every Friday just because that's the set date. You wrote the story because you had a fantastic idea and you were inspired to share it with the internet. That spark of flame is what keeps your story unique and alive so when it's low or burnt out, readers will start to notice, your plot will suffer and you won't enjoy writing it anymore. It's okay to take breaks to get them creative juices flowin' again. ^^

Amora Ella Hastings is Hispanic like me. I thought it would be nice to make her a different ethnicity and I don't think I've ever seen or read a story about a Hispanic Cinderella. Amora's main weakness is her indecisiveness and I'm indecisive af so ayyy ✨like mother like daughter, amirite? Ha, haaaa.

Suspense. Humor. And...suPrIse bITchEs. (AKA shock factor. Or-yeah, suspense.) Because let's face it, stories on Wattpad be hella dry. I need me some good Kool-Aid. That juicy fried chicken. With some adobo on it... :,D okay so I might be a little hungry right now

Yes! I am also an artist and I have three webcomics I plan to upload tomorrow, as a matter of fact, on Webtoon! The first one is a comic version of "Bad Prince Charming," the second is a comic version of my ONC story "The Bride of Frankenstein," and the last is a comic for an idea I literally came up with about a week ago: "Skelenaut." I'm super excited and I can't wait to share it with you guys!

Humanity's End
Given a year to prepare by the mysterious ‘system’ for contact with the wider galaxy, humanity must work to ensure the Earth’s defense is ready to meet any challenge. Sadly, most of the world seems dedicated to tearing itself apart as the year-end deadline gets closer. The west is in barely contained Chaos, while the east descends into internal conflict and war. The Pillar Forts, one of the few successful projects of the United Nations headed by the United States, stand ready to defend humanity against any invasion that may come through the strange Connection Pillars that appeared on each continent. Massive steel and stone walls that surround the Connection Pillars. They are filled with deadly men and women trained in all manner of warfare, each trained in the newly acquired System with skills and magical abilities that they put to deadly purpose. Beside these brave warriors, tanks, helicopters, artillery and more stand ready to defend humanity at each of these powerful installations. But, can they overcome the disparity in levels and experience between themselves and the forces that threaten them and the rest of humanity? Main Characters Jessica Brown- A young African American girl. Her 18th birthday in Detroit was the same day the systems message appeared. She discovered she was Level 7, much higher than most of the rest of the world. Why she is blessed, or cursed, with the power she doesn’t know. But what she does know is that she rather likes the feeling that comes with manipulating magic. The week after her birthday, government workers started testing every person in the US in a massive census effort of skills and abilities. Jessica Brown found herself conscripted into the US Magical Corp, a new branch of the US Military, and shipped off to a Pillar Fort. Somewhere hot and muggy in her ancestors’ home of Africa. As she grows stronger, she finds she has some connection to the pillars. While everyone else sees beauty or danger when they look at the pillars, after connection is made all Jessica can see is a Tree. A tree the size of the entire universe. Isaka Smith - is a third generation American and farmer who just wants to be left alone. But she is dragged into the situation by events beyond her control. When people in her small town had to deal with rioters and looters after the system announcement, she rallied them to defend themselves, earning her a trait that the government found extraordinarily useful. After a visit to a local reservation, she finds herself conscripted to lead one of the many small support towns erected around the great pillar forts. Not near her old home, but in far-flung Africa. John McIntire, the “Fighting Bull” -The commander of the African Fort, but because of circumstances beyond his ability to contend with shortly after taking command after being re-activated from retirement, he finds communication with his chain of command increasingly difficult. The US government, hell, even the United Nations, seems to have fallen into complete and utter chaos. The African Union is embroiled in a bitter civil war just outside his door, and supposedly, most of the world governments are in similar situations. Meanwhile, John must do his best to be ready to facilitate diplomacy, or to match the hostile argument of whatever force might come through the pillar of light when the year timer finishes counting down. Can our heros defend Earth from outside threats, while it tares itself apart? Or will they need to rebuild from the ground up? DEDICATION: This story is dedicated to my father who passed away recently. Jim Holloway, you’ll be missed you old silverback gorilla. Love you dad. Always have, always will.

Rifts in the Weave
Jes is a normal twenty-something American dealing with a 2020 that just keeps getting worse. She's driving home for the latest in that series of awful events when she runs headlong into something unexpected. Nearly 400 years ago, the continent of Charan was embroiled in a terrible war. To stop the war, its inhabitants literally tore a hole in the fabric that holds their world together. The Weave, the magical lines of reality that shape every part of Charan, were torn by great magics. Those magics left a hole in the weave that has since consumed nearly a third of the continent, creating a vast and magicless Outalnds. The Wild Weaves at the edges of the Outlands are a dangerous place. Archmagi, pushed to the edge by a pursuing army, enter the Wild Weaves and seek to repair the very fabric of reality. Howard and Clark Franklin, returning soldiers from the Civil War, come back to a home that isn't quite theirs anymore. Restless, they depart again for the West, a new frontier. They get more than they bargained for when one moment they're crossing the prairie and the next they're stepping into a whole new world. As the unraveling edges of reality fray, two worlds may never be the same. >
