From Geneology to war - A compendium of Greek Mythology
A helpful guide to Greek mythology including the primordials, titans, gods, goddesses, monsters, heroes and more! Things to note about this story is that since I'm writing about real historical mythology, there is of course many, many, different variations, retellings and plots in existence for each one of the myths so I will do my best to comment on and add in variations when necessary, though in some cases I may just stick with the most common, my favorite or the most historically accurate depictions! "If this is just the original myths can't I just go on Theoi?" Well I try to recount all of the myths in an accurate but easy to understand way, which is quite difficult other places, though if you have any questions about anything, please just ask!!

The Anthology of Heroes
This anthology features various stories set in the fandom universe of the original manga series, Fairy Tail. If inspiration for new stories in this fandom runs dry, other fandoms will be incorporated. A personal favourite that seems to receive little recognition is the fandom of the original movie, How To Train Your Dragon, specifically the version released earlier this year featuring real-life characters. This fandom captivates with its rich world-building and engaging character development, exploring themes of friendship, courage, and the profound bond between humans and creatures. The real-life adaptation offers a fresh perspective and greater depth to the beloved tale, making it even more captivating. It portrays the story of a boy once ridiculed by his peers who ultimately earns their respect and admiration. Hiccup, the protagonist, transforms from an awkward, underestimated youth into a courageous and respected leader. Along his journey, he embraces his unique perspective and strengths, demonstrating that empathy and understanding can bridge the divide between humans and dragons. His growth is reflected in his ability to inspire others and foster harmony between the two worlds. Readers are encouraged to share their thoughts in the comments section of each chapter, as constructive feedback provides valuable insight into what resonates and what may need improvement. Such engagement helps refine storytelling techniques and deepen character development, enhancing the narrative's overall quality. In addition, interaction with readers fosters a sense of community and connection, encouraging more dynamic, participatory storytelling. Ultimately, Hiccup's journey underscores the transformative power of empathy, courage, and self-discovery, inspiring both personal growth and communal harmony.

The Queen Below
A retelling of the Hades and Persephone myth, a story of fate, the struggle for power, and love found in the most unexpected places. ***** Persephone has been raised in Olympus all her life - her mother absent, her father a cruel king, with her siblings teaching her all they know. She has seen all of what the gods and goddesses do and she is sick of it. When she learns her safety is threatened by staying in Olympus, she flees to the Underworld. There she stays until she learns that her leaving has caused the world to wilt. But leaving behind her newfound friends and Lady of the Underworld is something she will not do willingly, no matter the consequences.
