☆ONC 2021 Honourable Mention and Shortlister☆ ☆One of Round Two Top Five Winners☆ ☆Multiple times featured☆ ☆☆☆ ☆This is a story about H. Ch. Andersen, about how he became a writer and why most of his stories are so sad and melancholic. Also, about why he never found real love... Yes, that's what I read about him (among other things)-- he kept falling in love with unatteinable women. My story portrays Hans Christian Andersen as a young, fourteen-years-old boy. It's set in Odense, Denmark, in the late summer of 1818-- soon after Hans' mother, a poor washerwoman, remarried (two years after his father's death) and shortly before he was sent to a school for poor children where he had to support himself. Where he became, to be able to afford his schooling, first a weaver's, then a tailor's apprentice, a singer, an actor and finally, once his excellent soprano voice changed, a writer. Hans and Louise, his (fictional) step-sister, seek refuge from a summer storm in an old shed. There, they meet Rosalind, a lost Flower Fairy. When they decide to help her find the Butterfly Fairy boy she loves and intends to marry, she takes them into a fantastical world of Terra Sonalis, her home. A land of dreams populated by fairies, goblins, elves, mermaids, talking animals... All those mysterious creatures that fuelled Andersen's imagination for the rest of his life. ☆☆☆

After watching Pom poko, I made a poem about tanuki

Shouta Kuzumiya is shy and aloof. When he was a child, he never liked to participate and he never liked to deal with people. Now, seventeen years old and moving through high school unnoticed and practically invisible, Shouta wishes more than anything to be noticed by the girl who doesn't even know he's there. Before high school ends, Shouta is determined to ask her out, but in his current situation it seems like it would never happen. That is, until, he meets an unlikely instructor... One day Shouta comes across a tanuki in the woods where he goes to think, but the strange thing is that this tanuki can talk to him, and it wants to help him win over his girl. Denying it at first, Shouta decides to take the tanuki's advice, and along the way, learn about who he is. ----------------------- *Note: I have been studying Japanese for about three years, and for as much Japanese as I know - I did not get very deep into all of the kanji and am hoping that the kanji on the cover and in the story are correct. Since this story is based on real life, I would need it to be proofed by others to make sure everything is accurate and correct if I am ever to get it published, but I have decided to upload it here for critique and opinions. This is my first ever written slice-of-life type story that was not really full of action packed scenes and fantasy monsters so it was an interesting adventure. I hope you enjoy it - I am open to any suggestions or corrections.
