WATTY'S 2022 SHORTLIST🏅A Qing Dynasty Snow White fairytale retelling with a Princess Mononoke twist. Featured on @Wattpad's Fantasy Adventures reading list and @WattpadExplorer. ***** Snow is anything but the submissive princess the Jade Palace expects her to be. Her foster mothers find her impossible, her royal tutor labels her incorrigible, and she recently threatened to shave her head if she were forced to marry. When the Empress presents her with an opportunity to go on the imperial spring hunt with the princes and her not-so-secret crush, Prince Erden, Snow jumps at the chance. Who knew that that would lead to an assassination attempt, a harrowing escape, and her getting hopelessly lost in a dark forest during a thunderstorm--with no survival skills whatsoever. The only things she has to help her survive are lots of moxie and latent magical powers she inherited from her deceased mother. Oh, and an ethereally white fox that led seven old dwarves to her. With the Empress's malicious intent now revealed, Snow must discover her true strength, who her mother really is, and what magical powers she wields, in order to find her way back to Erden. If she fails, she might never see him again and die a lonely old crone in the mountains. . . or get murdered anyway when the bloodthirsty Empress--said to have fantastical powers of her own--comes for Snow.

Ever heard of too much of a good thing? Well, take your ears somewhere else. It's not here. At least, not anymore. Seven girls spread over different parts of the world, like uneven and chunky peanut butter. Each and every day, they live, being the nicest, kindest, most virtuous girls one could imagine. They work at smelly nursing homes, scatological​ Goodwills, any place where the normal person would not be caught dead at. Of course, these girls aren't normal as one would inspect upon their practically haloed heads. And the boys going after them aren't either. Seven boys spread across parts of the world, quite close to the girls, like slick and shiny jam. These boys are the definition of issues. In fact, they are the very sins that The Christian Orthodox Church warned people about. They are lustful, they are greedy, and most importantly, they need haircuts. But that's later. The Seven Deadly Sins are here, on the very Earth that the Seven Contrary Virtues are on, and one could say it's not coincidental at all. And they're here for powers that the girls don't even know they have. Why? Because they're The Seven Deadly Sins, and that's what they do. That's one sticky peanut butter and jelly sandwich. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ © spoonfulofyoongi, 2018. All rights reserved. BTS Fantasy AU | completed.

Folk tales and myths serve as a means of handing down traditions and customs from one generation to the next in Africa. For several generations, stories from Africa have traditionally been passed down by word of mouth. Often, after a hard day's work, the adults would gather the children together by moonlight, around a village fire and tell stories. This is traditionally called Tales by Moonlight. Usually the stories are meant to prepare young people for life, and so taught a lesson or moral.
