Bitter-Sweet Fairy Tales

Note from the Authors

Our dearest readers,

A heartfelt welcome from us to you! So nice of you to join us on our first literary adventure!

Before we begin, we have a few things we want to let you know about what you are about to read. The content in these stories are not meant for everyone. Some of the stories contain the following themes:

-Sexuality

-Feminism

-Eating Disorders

-Domestic Violence

-Mental Illness

-Sexual Assault

-Self-Harm and Suicide

-Murder

Please do not continue further if you are sensitive to, or have degrading comments to say about any of the above themes. This is a space of creative expression, not the battle ground of World War Three.

Furthermore, let us take the time now to say that the following stories are all fictitious and are all mostly based on their original corresponding fairy tales. Even though we have modernized them, we have tired to stay as true as we could to the original stories. We have changed some of the ethnic backgrounds of the characters as we are firm believers in equality and diversity. That being said, none of the characters are based on real people. We may or may not include a dream cast for some of the stories but the characters are not based on the actors we have chosen.

Also, due to the nature of the stories, let us tell you right now that we do not condone in any kind of violence. We have written these stories simply to highlight and address some of the horrendous, tragic, and unfortunate events that take place in our day and age and to shine light on some occurrences that either get negative or very little attention. Our intentions are that after reading these stories, our readers will have a deeper understanding of these social issues and want to help the causes we have highlighted. Long story short, we are trying to encourage change in our society by exposing the cold, hard truth. As the saying goes, "a small change can make a huge difference."

Lastly, the chapters are fairly long, as they have been written in short-story form. We also update weekly on Mondays.

Are you still there? Yes? Great!

Now that you are informed of what lies ahead, we invite you to continue further. Please don't forget to Vote, Comment, and Share: it would mean a lot to us. Also, we would love to communicate with our readers so don't hesitate to follow and DM us here on Wattpad, or on our Instagram page: bittersweetadventures.

Once again, thank you for choosing to read Bitter Sweet Fairy Tales; enjoy!

Affectionately,

Katheryne and Nievana
