For me, it was a chance to get back into the things that had made my childhood bearably.

As a kid, I didn't have many friends and books were my only escape. I was pretty lonely, actually. But, with books, I could escape into different worlds and go on adventures. It may sound clichéd, but that was truly what I experienced as a little girl.

My favorite stories were fairytales, to be honest. I liked their structure and the endings, even though I didn't see them as particularly romantic or happy. Rather, it was more of a "Oh, hey, these stories are COOL!" and I devoured them like you wouldn't believe.

So, when I realized there was a show centered around them, I decided to try and grunge up the limited writing skills I possessed at the time and made characters revolving around some of my favorite stories. I started out with the Holy Trinity of Cherry, Vera and Quinn, but once I began, I simply couldn't stop! XD

I'm glad I made that choice years ago because nowadays, I've been happier (ultimately, anyway) since I joined here.
