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, origins of certain characters, 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.

This book is full of AUs and other "What If...?" Questions to see how Jacqueline's story might Have been different if something was changed. This exists purely because I had so many ideas and I couldn't work them all into the story at once. Please note that the stories will vary from chapter to chapter, and some will contradict others, so don't think of them as sequential parts but rather as each being their own novella (unless otherwise stated) That also means that the timeline might shift in different stories. It is still an OC x Edmund story

A Fictional Memoir of the tradition of a woman playing Peter Pan, which helped me think through my Gender. This NeuroQueer Retellung is appropriate for readers 10 and up, because kids have the RIGHT to read Queer Literature! Since an "Actress" is assumed to be a woman, and Peter Pan is a boy, there is Misgendering in this fanfiction. It was in the tags, but I want to put a clear Trigger Waning. Also, Trigger Warning for the racial slur that calls Indigenous People "Red." I have thoughts... Credit for the Fairy Genders goes to J.M. Barrie My portrayal of Tiger Lily is Anti-Colonial Through a Disability Justice lens. To Sondra Lee, who played Tiger Lily, and saved my life To Lerisssa Fasthorse, who justly restored my lost dignity To Adolph Green, who taught me what makes a monter and what makes a man, is complicated To Jerome Robbins, who challenged my intellect and morality And of course to Mary Martin, who taught me about the "Unusal things you can do"

Every legend has a shadow. We grew up hearing stories of creatures that lurk in the dark, spirits that wander the earth, and beings that live beyond the world we know. But what if the stories we inherited were never the whole truth? Tales in the Shadows is a collection of short, twisted retellings inspired by Philippine folklore. Each story takes a familiar myth, legend, or creature and looks beyond the fear surrounding it-to the stories, emotions, and truths that may have been forgotten. The monsters may not always be monsters. The spirits may not always be cruel. And the legends may not always belong to the people who told them. Some stories hide pain. Some hide love. Some hide warnings. And some have been waiting in the shadows for someone to finally listen. These are the tales you thought you knew. These are the tales hiding in the shadows.

*Master draft* You know how books go through various Revisions until they are ready to be looked into as a independent Story ... this is one What if the story of Matilda and Charlie are actually conected by one snarky burly little girl named Suzie who is a little too bitter at having to defend herself and her little brother from various threats I mean children grow up and what if said little girl had enough sheer audacity from helping put Mrs trunchbull be put in her place to grow up to be the head HR lady in a chocolate factory simply because of family association But the manchild thought she was another woman playing a mama role and humiliated her along with the rest of the workers in the factory and ... it was glossed over with a tall tale And when she puts the creep in his place again ... this time she feels guilty ...

Good morning, I'm Kalliope Aoidós (yes, spelled like this: Καλλιόπη Ἀοιδός... pretty impressive, right?), Technical Account Manager at a company in... well, I'm sure you don't really need my CV for this. Let's try again. Hey, I'm Kalliope Aoidós, and I've got a little problem. Okay, more like an incurable, family-heritage problem. Technically, it's genetic-something my family has been conveniently passing down for centuries. One of my great-great-great-great-grandparents thought it was totally appropriate to insult his muse, calling her a "good-for-nothing" and a "sellout." How charming, right? Too bad that muse was THE Muse after whom I'm named. Apparently, she's not exactly the warm and fuzzy type. So why on earth do I have the honor of carrying the name of the one who cursed my entire family tree? Oh, that was my grandmother's brilliant idea. In a way, they "sacrificed" me to her by giving me her name, hoping it would change her mind about the curse. Spoiler alert: It didn't. So here I am, just like hundreds of my ancestors, stuck in the same lovely swamp. I'm a Book Jumper or, as my grandmother (who has a flair for dramatic epithets) likes to call me, a βιβλιοποδητής, which basically means "walker of books." And these are my stories. Or, more accurately, my delightful misadventures. All rights to the original characters, setting, and source material belong to their respective copyright holders.

Torn from the grim darkness of the 41st millennium by a catastrophic Warp rupture, Sister Ephrael Stern-the Daemonifuge-awakens in the burning sands of Jakku one year before the rise of Starkiller Base. Armed with faith-forged power, black-and-gold battle plate, and an alien psychic might, the zealot of the Adepta Sororitas crashes directly into the life of Rey, a lonely scavenger surviving among ancient wrecks. What begins as a fragile alliance of necessity rapidly turns into an intense, slow-burn romance between two women who understand the crushing burden of isolation and chosen destiny. Ephrael's presence accelerates Rey's awakening and fundamentally rewrites the coming galactic conflict, bringing ruthless Imperial combat doctrine to the Resistance and drawing the personal gaze of Supreme Leader Snoke. As the First Order mobilizes, Rey must balance her growing connection to the living Force with Sororitas discipline, while Ephrael is forced to confront whether love can exist alongside absolute faith. When Starkiller Base rises, the timeline fractures completely-and it is the Daemonifuge, coiling with white fire and wielding a blessed blade, who stands against Kylo Ren in the snow.
