Being a Queen was considered everything to my four outrageous cousins. I for one do not care, I never want to be a ruling monarch. Never. The Princess Project was a ritual that my country had been doing for decades. The government of Amaren would choose one descendant of the five royal lineages and make her the project of the country. The Princess would be expected to marry the chosen prince of the country. Of course this sounds like either the best contest you have heard of, or the worst. I personally agree with the civilians who despise it. This short story contains 10 chapters, and was entered in the #OnceUponNow contest sponsored by Target!

Sone Kyou has lived in a small village throughout his life. His work consisted of travelling to the local market every Friday to sell some trinkets made of wood and the occasional leftovers used for fires. He was a simple man who did simple things, nothing more and nothing less. On one Friday on a sunny winter day, Kyou came across a crane stuck in a trap made for rodents. Blood was soaked up in the snow as the crane was wailing in pain, he let the bird go and waved as it flew away into the sky. Little did he know that the crane would come back to him in a winter storm later that week at his doorstep. Deep inside he knew it was the crane, but when the young women stared back into his eyes he hoped that she was just a regular woman who walked down the isles in the local marketplace. This book retells the folktale of The Crane Wife and The Grateful Crane, Japanese lore that depicts love, sacrifice, and a struggle for what's right. Cover by Jody157

Lost in her thoughts, Aria turned quickly. Losing her footing, she started to drop the box. Arms quickly caught the box, steadying it in her hands and steadying her. "Watch it, Red," an irritated voice mumbled. She glanced over and saw the owner of the bothered voice and found herself tilting her head upwards, making the sun glare in her eyes. ************************************ Hi everyone!

Haleigh didn't like to use the word cynical to describe herself, but she didn't believe in true love at first sight, or fairy godmothers, or even someone helping you achieve your heart's desire without looking for something in return. That is, until she laid eyes on a gorgeous stranger at the black and white Summer Ball for charity...

Sophie is an introvert girl, who dreams to achieve all her dreams and have a happy ending. Do dreams really come true? Do happy endings truly exist? This is a lame story, as usual. I think. This is my #OnceUponNow #JustWriteIt story. In addition, this is a Lee Taemin fan fiction. In addition, this was written and posted for my own entertainment so harsh criticisms won't be tolerated, but helpful criticisms are truly appreciated.

A single click can change your world. One day a poorly named fellow named Ransom is put into the hands of a genie, all because he failed to close an advertisement with an unbearably small exit button, and instead hits the ad itself. How much trouble can one click cause? Click that read button to find out ;) {For Target's Once Upon Now writing contest}

Fallen stars never stay on earth. Such is the case of sixteen-year-old Carmen Esmaier, citizen of planet Terra and daughter of two of its most revered heroes. Shielded by her vigilante of an aunt since her parents' deaths, Carmen doesn't dare mention her dream of following in their footsteps and joining the army. But that all changes when a team of scouts arrives at the colony to host a contest, the prize being a coveted position in the army. For Carmen, that doesn't just mean soldiership and escape from her aunt, but a chance to work with Casper Conduir, her childhood hero...and perhaps something more than that. It doesn't matter that she'll have to navigate a jungle of carnivorous trees and the discrimination of half the colony just to get to the contest. It doesn't matter that she arrives an hour late, nor that she has no weapon. After all, she just needs to fight for her happily ever after, and it'll come...right? #MayJustWriteIt #ProjectWomanUp Cover by @Homely8
