In addition, this was written and posted for my own entertainment so harsh criticisms won't be tolerated, but helpful criticisms are truly appreciated.

My name, Crystal Evans. Age 17. I live in Los Angeles, California. I go to school. A normal girl for who does not know my story. My story starts with a boy that supposedly died, Aiden Johnson, who make my world turn upside down in many ways as romantically as mysteriously and I like mysteries and some romance so why not get away with it. The problem is that Aiden is bewitch and his sister is crazy. Please help me to survive to my own history, it gets a little creepy sometimes and magical in others. But I know you will like it. But just remember: a world can be hidden in a crystal. Translation of Gritos de Cristal. Made by myself. This story can have extra content that doesn't appear in the original story. You know... Ideas can run everyday they want. Also it has a different style, because I'm writing it in my computer and not in my phone as the original. I do not accept copies or adaptations. Be original.

"Maximus. I'm here to ask a favor of you." "And whats that?" "Its a very important task." "Okay and what is it?" "I want you to deliver a message for me." "Why me?" "Well now, Maximus. Because I chose you. Is that a problem?" "Depends. Who are you and where am I supposed to deliver this message to?" "You don't know who I am?" "Some creepy old guy standing in my doorway?" "Huh. Well Maximus, I'm the mayor." "You mean the guy who owns that huge mansion down the road and doesn't bother to help those in need?" "Yes, that's right. Now the message. Id like you to send a message to a friend of mine, she lives deep in the forest." "And you cant just, like, text her or something?" "Well I would, but she doesn't have a cell phone. Even if she did she couldn't get service. That's why I need you." "But why me?"

PR scandal is so NOT what I had in mind when I went out on a date last night. And now I'm all over the front page of The Sun again: 'The Welsh Heiress kissing yet another frog'. I am in soo much trouble. My name is Amelia Jones. Obviously I'm not a princess this would be ridiculous. I am, however, the daughter of the First Minister of Wales, and this means my life in university is closely followed by paparazzi. This is my story (never mind what Rhys would have you believe *rolls eyes*). It's a bit like Aladdin, only without the magic. And without the Arab desert, albeit we have daffodils and sheep to make up for that, as well as lots of rain. And it's not actually set in a kingdom far away a long time ago - it's pretty much current affairs. So basically, it's NOTHING like Aladdin. But I'm more sassy than Jasmine anyway, so check me out ;) xxx This story is written as an entry for the #OnceUponNow competition sponsored by Target. If you like it come back June 14 through June 21, 2016 and vote on the first chapter to help my story become one of the top ten, which get published in an anthology! COMPLETE: 8997 words. *** All references to actual people in the story are purely for the sake of making sense of the contemporary political and journalistic situation in Wales and have no relation to the real persons corresponding to them ***

[#projectwomanup] #8 Humor 8/8/16 *ok so i started this book with an intention to flip the fairy tale story around, but since i wrote it so sporadically, it lost its original purpose, and now i'm not so sure what this mess even is. feel free to read, but proceed with caution. a rewrite is coming soon.*
