Cinderella in Reverse

blurb + a/n - one last important blab about various things

Firstly I'd like to thank Ashlynne (MinayeBear) again for letting me adapt her Episode app story, Tangled Love. Without your brilliance and creativity, I don't think I would ever have been motivated to do something like this. So thank you. You can search 'Episode: Choose Your Story' for more information, or download it on the App Store, Google Play and on your Windows Phone. You won't regret it! (not sponsored)

To all the people I've dedicated chapters to - THANKS FOR CHECKING OUT MY STORY AND CHATTING TO ME! I love you guys! You have no idea how much you have made me smile with your feedback and your earnest support and I'm incredibly grateful to have you guys as my Wattpad friends!!! To the followers and silent readers - I love you guys too - thanks for supporting me! Thank you to EVERYONE OUT IN THE WORLD ON THE INTERNET READING THIS for sticking by through the past year, supporting me and just existing. You guys rock!

It's been a pleasure writing for you all and I hope you enjoyed the story.

Now, for some FAQ (that legit no one has asked me but here we go)....

Is there a sequel in the works?

I do have some story ideas in mind and have begun writing a sequel HOWEVER I'm not sure if I'll be able to finish it. If you've followed me since my 'Inevitable' days (now deleted) you'll know what I'm talking about - people lose interest. However I am pretty keen - I've got a storyboard set out and everything. And for this reason, it will not be posted until I've completed writing it (if not at all). I would try and give you guys a glimpse into the sequel but i don't want to either disappoint you with a crap storyline or get your hopes up in the case where i'm not happy with the story myself and in the case where I might end up scrapping the story altogether. I hope you guys understand.

I also have plans for a third and final book and have plans to tie CIR, the sequel and the 3rd book together, however it will solely depend on my motivation to actually write the two stories whilst juggling my final year of high school, my life as a uni student in the future and other commitments. I'm still human, after all.

*update: with regards to the 'sequel' spinoff thing, I just wanted to emphasise that there will not be a hell of a lot of references to CiR and its events. At this stage, i am only writing for the purpose of using some of the characters in CiR and developing their own story. More information about that kind of stuff will follow in the A/N's of the actual book.

Didn't you say you were editing CiR or something?

Yeah...I did. I'm going to edit and change around a lot of the place names, trademarked names and things in the interests of straying away from copyright issues. Not that I'm popular enough to actually get sued but just in case. Also editing the story in general as my writing style has changed and my standards have changed as well, so please bear with me. Nothing too major about the plot will change but things like useless dialogue will be deleted and more descriptions will be added. That kind of stuff. Did that make sense?

I'm also changing Luke's name from Lucas (whoops i forgot his middle name) Callahan to:
Theodore Alexander Callahan (sorry not sorry) because:

a. it sounds cooler

b. it'll play a part in the spinoff. ;) moohaha

Advanced(ish) Notes and Apologies:

Maids: at the start Ashley mentioned about having maids, and they weren't present in the story ever. It wasn't necessary. sorry!

Zeke: A character that should've played a bigger part in the story. Apologies for making Sophia act like such a jerk to him, as if it were the other way around, this book would probably be reported for sexism and discrimination. (Insert feminist rant here that would take up like 100000000 words - not that feminism isn't important, it's just a whole-nother can of worms that we don't need right now.)

Diabetes plot hole: As much as I'd like to fix it, there's no point in wasting my efforts going over to fill these holes. The sequel that I MAY OR MAY NOT WRITE (TBC) will not gloss over Theo's diabetic status and therefore will not be mentioned at all, and for that, I apologise profusely if that offends anyone, especially as I am not familiar with the illness myself. Please forgive me.

Dance team plot hole: necessary, but I'm sorry I didn't delve into it further than just a few little scenes. How else was Sophia supposed to meet Rosie? (You can actually choose this in the Episode version, Tangled Love - all the more reason to check it out hey?)

Love letter: not as in-depth as the original Episode story, but please forgive me. I reread the story when Ashlynne was halfway through making new updates (the move, love letter, etc.) Sorry!

Business trip plot hole: makes me cringe but I have no idea how to change it and it makes me super irritated by that. :( also not going to bother changing sorry. I know it's super unrealistic for a child not to feel any sort of longing for her single father to come home considering he did leave for a year, but to shape the story in another way would make it very general.

American/Australian spelling: I spelt 'mum' as 'mom' because it felt weird writing in Australian English as it is weird singing an American song in an Australian accent. It's not natural in certain multimedia works, and the story is set in the US anyway. Hope that doesn't irritate you, my fellow Brits/Aussies/Kiwis!!! I'm sorry!

If you've made it this far without snoozing at my cheesiness or because you though everything else in this chapter part was boring, well CONGRATULATIONS BECAUSE YOU'VE JUST UNLOCKED THE JUICIEST BIT OF INFORMATION THAT I HAVE EVER ADDRESSED IN MY YEARS OF BEING ON WATTPAD. YAAAAY

Here is the raw, non-edited information about my next story...Clapperboard Kisses:

Catchphrase: The co-star. The critic. The catastrophe. (I have a soft spot for words starting with C, if you couldn't tell already haha)

Series name (working title - help me come up with a name for the series!): The Aristocrat/Monarch/Royals Series (CiR is Book 1: The Heir, Clapperboard Kisses is Book 2: The Prince)

Blurb (also non-edited): Genevieve Rivers's crush only grew over time back in high school. As a meek girl who had low self-esteem, the notion of being with popular guy Theo Callahan seemed far from real. Things were going all too well before everything came crashing down that one night...

Fast forward a few years, the Gigi of today was a ruthless, blunt and fearless movie critic at the precipice of fame and glory who can make or break anyone's career.

Theo Callahan, known professionally by his middle name as Alex Callahan, is the target of this criticism. Being an Oscar-winning actor does that to people, some would suppose.

With both Gigi and Alex's career on the line caused by mutual hate, it's clear they have no feelings towards each other than disdain...or is there something more?

Before Gigi knows it, she's whisked away into the spotlight, dealing with rumours, haters, movers and shakers whilst trying to figure out where her heart truly belongs.

Will sparks fly or will hatred transpire faster than you can say 'Lights, Camera, Action'?

If this idea interests you please please please follow me so I can update you with more progress updates on this story!!! I love you all!!!!!! <3

Thanks for all your support,
