Reimagining Stories

Swept to a magical land by a tornado, Dorothy Gale and her dog Toto, must find their way back home to Kansas. Along the challenging adventure, they make three new friends who are each searching for their own hearts desire. The friends encounter many obstacles along the way, including a vengeful Wicked Witch and other strange and interesting creatures that live in the land, all while learning more about themselves in the process. Loosely based off the book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a 1900 children's novel written by author L. Frank Baum and illustrated by W. W. Denslow. It is the first novel in my version of the Oz series of books. *** The first tale in my adaption of the fantastical Oz series by L. Frank Baum. My adaptation of Baum's first book, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz," remains faithful to the original narrative structure, while introducing captivating modifications to the storyline and the fusion of select chapters. In crafting this rendition, I sought to pay homage to the rich tapestry of Oz adaptations that have graced our screens over the years. Notably, I drew inspiration from the iconic 1939 MGM classic and its enchanting Disney 1985 semi-Sequel, "Return to Oz," as well as the beloved "Wicked" series, SyFy's enthralling "Tin Man" miniseries from 2007, Oz the Great and Powerful (2013), and the captivating Oz episodes of "Once Upon a Time." To breathe life into the pages, I decided to create live-action illustrations for the book. I used a mix of the MGM Wizard of Oz, Return to Oz (1985), and other Oz adaptations to create the visuals.

Violet Potter's Second Year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has begun. When Harry Potter and his best friend, Ron Weasley are almost expelled for (illegally) flying an enchanted car from London to Hogwarts, the calculating and brutal Head of Slytherin House, Professor Snape, personally warns Violet against further fraternization with any Gryffindors. Her own brother and his closest friends in particular. The insufferable Draco Malfoy, the always stuck-up Pansy Parkinson, and several of their cronies also take it upon themselves to give Violet (and Harry) even more grief. The new DADA teacher, while at least not one harboring any dark wizards on the back of his head, is unfortunately as incompetent and narcissistic as a Gilderoy might come, and very likely a complete phony. And what exactly is the deal with the Malfoy family's house-elf anyway? Or the elf that the Maynard family used to own? Violet soon has bigger problems to worry about when the legendary Chamber of Secrets is reopened, as muggle-borns all over the school are turning up petrified. And, worst of all, almost everyone seems to think that Harry and Violet have something to do with these attacks. Even in spite of the fact that Violet and Victoria among a few others have volunteered to work tirelessly with helping Professor Sprout to prepare the antidote and venturing into the other three chambers while Harry, Ron, and Hermione are racing against time to solve the mystery of the infamous Chamber of Secrets itself. But the true culprits are far more sinister than most could ever imagine... Disclaimer: This is a fan reimagining of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling. I own nothing other than the characters I made up.

From the moment she was placed in the formicarium, she was already working. Not just digging. Not just laying eggs. The scientists watched through the glass and took their notes and told themselves they were in control. They weren't. They never were. The colony grew. The glass held. For now.

Annie Wachowski has always been the light. After losing their mother, she learned how to hold everything together-her brother Sonic, their found family, and the life they've built with the family who took them in. At school, she's known for her quiet kindness, her steady presence, and the way she always seems to know how to make things feel okay. But even light has its limits. When a new student arrives, everything begins to shift. Shadow is quiet, distant, and impossible to read. He keeps to himself, pushing everyone away-everyone except Annie. Because somehow... she understands him. What starts as a few quiet moments between classes turns into something more-shared silences, late conversations, and a connection Annie doesn't know how to explain... or how to stop. Around him, she feels seen in way she never has before. But it's a connection she keeps hidden. From Sonic. From her friends. From everyone. As Annie struggles to balance the life she's always known with the feelings she's trying to ignore, the line between right and wrong begins to blur. The closer she gets to Shadow, the harder it becomes to pretend nothing's changed-and the more everything she cares about is put at risk. Because secrets don't stay hidden forever. And when the truth finally comes out, Annie will have to decide- can she keep being the light everyone depends on... or will she choose the one person who exists in the shadows?

Everyone knows the Queen wanted Snow White dead. Few ask when she decided it-or how many choices it took to become that woman. Once, the Queen loved Snow. Then the mirror told her the truth. Snow White had surpassed her. The mirror gives no command. It offers no temptation and makes no threat. It simply answers the question it was asked. What happens next belongs entirely to the Queen. One decision becomes another. A Huntsman is sent into the forest. When that fails, delegation gives way to disguise. When one method fails, she studies why. Each survival teaches her something. Each failure makes the next attempt more deliberate. And somewhere beyond the Queen's sight, the girl she meant to destroy keeps surviving. The True Story of Snow White retells the familiar fairy tale entirely through the Queen's eyes-not as the story of a woman suddenly transformed into a monster, but of someone who repeatedly encounters the chance to stop and repeatedly chooses to continue. A fairy-tale retelling about envy, obsession, choice, and the terrifying difference between becoming more capable and becoming more right.

Prepare to embark on an exhilarating and daring escapade through the mystical realm of Oz, in this thrilling sequel to my previous adaptation of the enchanting book by L. Frank Baum, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. In The Marvelous Ozma of Oz, the fearless Dorothy Gale sets foot once more in the captivating Land of Oz, only to discover a realm in disarray, far from the way she remembered it. No longer is the King Scarecrow seated upon the throne, for it has been usurped by the malevolent Nome Queen and the cunning Princess Mombi. These devious rulers not only hold the land captive but also conceal the true heiress to the throne of Oz, the rightful Princess Ozma. Stand alongside Dorothy as she forges alliances with both familiar faces and newfound companions, embarking on a quest to liberate Ozma and the entire land of Oz from the clutches of these tyrannical monarchs. Brace yourself for an odyssey filled with peril and valor, where courage and friendship shall be tested in the face of overwhelming adversity. *** Loosely based on the second and third books in the Oz series by L. Frank Baum, "The Marvelous Land of Oz" (1904) and "Ozma of Oz" (1907). In this adaption, I have merged the characters of Mombi from "The Marvelous Land of Oz" with Princess Langwidere from "Ozma of Oz," echoing the creative fusion of that character seen in the Return to Oz (1985). The character of the Nome King from Ozma of Oz has been infused with General Jinjur from the Marvelous Land of Oz, and reimagined as the Nome Queen. Princess Mombi also takes some of Jinjur's traits. Many other changes to characters and events from the books can be seen throughout my adaption as well.

25-year-old Grace Avery is a stunning woman working as a detective/investigator. Due to her looks, she often gets sexist remarks from her colleagues, seen only as an object of praise and beauty rather than a fellow detective. Annoyed and frustrated, she goes to an old friend for help and assistance, asking for a partner who doesn't care about her looks and has the brains to work with her, to which she learns that there is a person who could help her, the problem lays in the fact that, that person is the very same man who Grace knew and hated in high school, Basil M. House. Will Grace continue to hate his guts? Is Basil the same man whom Grace knew in High school? And will their relationship change? This is a reimagining of Sherlock Holmes stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Besides being a reimagining, it's also a composite of different mystery stories and movies that I loved, so don't be surprised if some of the cases or puzzles look familiar. Apologies for the grammar mistakes:( Really enjoyed writing this:) This story is also on royal road

Peter survived the wolf's hunger; the greedy canine only wanted sheep flesh anyways. The sheep were the only ones that died; their thighs were just too juicy. "The Boy who Cried Wolf," a fable told and retold to frighten children and make them obey. But a dark imagination can change things, twisting story after story to not only frighten children, but make the characters see their lives turn for the worst. Peter doesn't survive. He says the lies, calling and calling until the truth trickles in, but instead of watching the horror, Peter ends with it. The village doesn't just morn their livestock. They act on it. Their grief can blind an army. Instead, the townspeople influenced a militia. The wolf doesn't have to be a wolf. Claws aren't always meant for puppies. But puppies don't have to be so... harmless. And the night's silence isn't always calm. DISCLAIMER- I do not own the images used for the cover.

Just to be clear I did enjoy the 2017 live action remake of beauty and the beast. It was very aesthetically pleasing and the actors did an admirable job. My only real gripe with the movie (apart from Emma Watson's hideously auto-tuned singing... yikes!) was that it stuck a little too close to the original 1991 animated film. For what ever reason it felt like the movie was afraid to forge it's own path. Where this was felt most of all was the final fight scene, and because during the build up to the release of the movie we were forever being told that Belle was a much stronger character and less of a "damsel" this felt like a bit of a letdown. In my version of the finale we see Belle play a much more active role. I wanted to put her and the Beast on much more equal terms, instead of the traditional uninteresting hero sacrifices himself for the useless damsel in distress please enjoy and be sure to let me know what you thought.
