Hello,
I'm currently writing an Ever After High fanfiction using a story and original character I created when I was a teenager. I decided to finally bring my daydreams to life after feeling nostalgia towards the old cartoon and how much I used to love the bright and colourful aesthetic. Writing gives me some escapism and breaks from writing my dissertation as I am currently in the process of completing my postgraduate degree. I'm more used to academic styles of writing and haven't done any creative writing or storytelling since I was in high school so I'm very rusty, however, I am enjoying the process!
I take inspiration for my story from the original series Ever After High web series and more current lifestyle and fashion trends such as princess-core, green aesthetic, fairy-core, royal-core and the fashion from Bridgerton. And not to mention my passion for wildlife and nature! I grew up in Scotland so the natural landscape and wildlife around me is a big part of my identity and makes me feel at home so is a big inspiration to me. I created some mood boards and sketches to illustrate the style of the fairytale world I imagined my main character to live in, so I might include some links later on if people are interested in seeing more of my creative process and visuals. I honestly think including images can help bring the story to life so much more and create more of an immersive experience for the reader. Especially for a genre like fanfiction.
Thank you for giving my wee fanfiction and secret passion project a read. I really enjoy seeing your messages and comments and makes me happy when I see someone who loves Ever After High as much as I used to love growing up. I honestly would have been happy if only five people read my story so it's really exciting seeing so many active readers! I really want to see this story to completion, if only to make the teenage me happy, so your encouragement means a lot.
Thanks for reading and lots of love,
Fantasybluemist
