    This is the story of Pearlina, a tiny mermaid, as small as a doll, and Merrow Finless, a Water Elemental Faery who loves mermaids. A loose, mermaid-themed retelling of "Thumbelina" by Hans Christian Andersen, set in the same whimsical mermaid universe as Kae-Leah Williamson's previous Merfolk Tales novellas, although it can easily be read as a stand-alone.

    ☆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. ☆☆☆

    Something terrible is haunting the woods of fiery creek forest. Children are disappearing, only to return missing limbs, organs, bleeding out, with no logical explanation for what happened to them. Nero escapes the terror of the forest with his life, but not his voice. His vocal cords grotesquely ripped out by some monster he can't even describe. However, he is determined to find the truth, and what hants the woods, before it can kill again. "The thing about this business. Literally anything could be. And we'll probably never know. You just have to pick the explanation, that helps you sleep at night, and move on. Because the only people who know what happened out there in the woods, didn't live to tell us their story." But there are too many clues, and everyone has something to hide. The truth is out there, but will Nero ever find it? And at the end of the day, does he want to? Content/Trigger warning: grotesque violence throughout. Peril, fear, terror, unsettling imagry.

    A young boy wanders into a mysterious place only to find a strange pair of ballet flats. Okay yep my first ACTUAL story that isn't a crack fic. So fun fact about me, writing is a big way of helping me cope with trauma, because it can allow me to create something so abstract or so blatantly obvious about what I went through. And personally the most enjoyable way to me is writing stories in the style of old Brothers Grimm/Edgar Allan Poe/Hans Christian Anderson type stories. This is but one of many similar stories I've written like this, so if this does well maybe I'll post more, but idk yet. Also yes I did try to use a fancier and more archaic writing style to mimic those classic stories, so it might come across as awkward sounding, mainly cuz I'm bad at writing like that lol.

    "Thumbelina" (Danish: Tommelise) is a literary fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen first published by C. A. Reitzel on 16 December 1835 in Copenhagen, Denmark with "The Naughty Boy" and "The Traveling Companion" in the second installment of Fairy Tales Told for Children. "Thumbelina" is about a tiny girl and her adventures with appearance- and marriage-minded toads, moles, and cockchafers. She successfully avoids their intentions before falling in love with a flower-fairy prince just her size. "Thumbelina" is chiefly Andersen's invention, though he did take inspiration from tales of miniature people such as "Tom Thumb". "Thumbelina" was published as one of a series of seven fairy tales in 1835 which were not well received by the Danish critics who disliked their informal style and their lack of morals. One critic, however, applauded "Thumbelina".[citation needed] The earliest English translation of "Thumbelina" is dated 1846. The tale has been adapted to various media including song and animated film.

    Remember the old fairy tales you were told when you were young? In a developing world of new stories and new trends, it's always nice to flip back to the old classics like The Emperor's New Clothes, Little Red Riding Hood, The Little Match Girl, The Ugly Duckling, so on and so forth. So in this book, I will retell the stories from how I remember it, and in my words. This means that the story will stay the same, but specific dialogues and/or names are made up by me. Now, buckle your seat belt and enter the world of fantasies and tales... -------------------------------- Note: These stories do not belong to me; I am just retelling them.
