NEVER EVER AFTER X THE THIRTEENTH CHILD 😴👑YA sleeping beauty reimagining👑😴 After a century-long sleep, Zella sets out to overthrow the queen who cursed her, but her quest is interrupted when she is captured by a deaf soldier who is immune to her entrancing song magic. #questpit #rf #q #ya #f #df
The words "The blood of zellandine, enchanted Forest, grumpy/Sunshine, Force proximity, fairy tale reimagining, deaf/HOH rep, animal companion" Are writing atop a collage of treetops, a spinning wheel, bound hands, a medieval kitchen, a medieval helmet and sword, a rat, a cottage, a dark Castle, a dark crown, old books, and an aerial view of a river.

A love-hating mischief sprite sets out to sabotage her infuriating rival's matchmaking scheme, but after accidentally orchestrating the perfect meet cute, she discovers (to her horror) that she's better at creating love stories than ruining them, including her own.🧚❤️🌃😈 #questpit #a #f #w #rf #pr #r
"A Manhattan Summer Night's Dream" written in white against a photo of Manhattan at nightPhillipa Crane, or Pip, as she prefers to be called, is a mischief sprite, content to spend her days playing tricks on the unsuspecting finance bros of Manhattan and her nights DMing for her girl squad, the Pixie Chicks. That is until Leo Lovehard (yes, that's his actual name), a love sprite, decides to match up Daisy, the only girl in New York Pip has deemed too-cool-to-fuck-with, with Chase, Pip's favorite corporate Zillennial to bother. Pip refuses to let Daisy trade her hip 1970s-inspired vintage clothing shop for a happily-ever-after with a man who considers a trip to Costco to be a "fun night out." She does everything in her power to thwart Leo's matchmaking, but with every attempted sabotage, she somehow brings Daisy and Chase closer. When she begins to catch feelings for her overly romantic and painfully optimistic nemesis, she must decide if admitting she was wrong about love is worth her own shot at the feeling she's spent a lifetime avoiding.

This question made me realize I don't know any young actors 😅 But after a quick search, I think Freya Allan would make a great Zella. Callum will be more challenging to cast because I would love an actor who is a member of the D/deaf/HOH community. #crpsparkleskunks

Zella is undersocialized which is a two-fold problem: 1) She's too trusting and is nearly repurposed as a chifferobe by a witch as a result 🧙‍♀️ 2) She doesn't fully understand the limits of her magic, so when the man sent to capture her is immune to it, she has no backup plan 🎶 #crpsparkleskunks

“Zella, you can't blame yourself.” “Well, I do. If I’d just stayed in the wards…” I grab her shoulder & lift her chin until her reluctant eyes meet mine. “This is not your fault,” I say, shaking her gently. “She would have found another way. And you would’ve been killed just like everyone else."

Zella has 7 magic gifts: dance, song, sweet dreams, mercy, long life, hunger for knowledge, & protection from the curse. Her gift of song allows her to compel others. BUT her song must be heard, so when she's captured by our deaf MMC, she must find new ways to achieve her goals. #crpsparkleskunks

Malvenia is inspired by Maleficent from Disney's Sleeping Beauty. She has antlers rather than horns & employs men, rather than ravens, to do her bidding. She uses magic, yes, but also fear & lust to overtake the kingdoms who dared unite against her. #crpsparkleskunks

#revpitwaiting What's an interesting fact about your story? Here's mine: My FMC, Zellandine, is named after the protagonist in the earliest known version of Sleeping Beauty, Perceforest, a 14th-century French work! It was fun researching the different iterations of the fairytale!😴👑 Tell me yours!
