Yes, she'd stopped. She knew. But he spoke like it was so simple, like she was just some amateur afraid of the stage. He had no clue what this felt like, that it wasn't the scene that made her chest tight. It was looking at him. She put a full foot of distance between them. "I know how to act, Boris!" He stood there, unmoved. "Then show me." Her nails dug into her palms. No. She wasn't going to let him break her. She pulled her shoulders back, took a breath, and planted her feet. "Fine," she bit out. "This time...I'll finish it." ⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒ When Becca Morgan walked through the doors of her old high school, she never expected to get pulled back into the world of theater.

Southfield High was like any other ordinary school. So why was it like Hell for Max Rivas? Not only was it the only high school in the city, but it also housed the world's greatest number of social cliques and classes. You would have the rich kids who ran the place, the middle-income ones who stayed out of the way, and those from the slums -- loners, freaks, and basically every popular student's favorite punching bag. Max belonged to that last group. All his life, Max had only known survival. Whether it be finding ways to scrounge for money in his rundown house, or walk paranoid in the halls of school. It had gotten worse during high school -- until his senior year. When a new factor entered his life. Asher Grayson. The boy who made it worse before he could make it better. Everyone's dream friend, boyfriend, and basically Southfield High's resident pretty boy, Max found himself Asher's sole victim. But what if this one was different? What if, this time, he found an interest in his aggressor? And surprisingly so, what if those thoughts were reciprocated? Max had always thought lowly of those living the upper class lives. The ones who'd sneer down at him as they walked by. So why was this Hell suddenly not so bad when his life was turned upside down by the one he least expected? (WARNING: lots of swearing. takes place in a high school. you should expect it lol minor acts of violence/aggression as well)

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. Drawing upon the characters from Disney's "Return to Oz," I found that they closely resembled the original character illustrations by W.W. Denslow and John R. Neill. Employing the power of AI and Photoshop, I meticulously crafted these illustrations, ensuring they captured the essence and wonder of Baum's fantastical world.

Little Lord Fauntleroy is a novel by the English-American writer Frances Hodgson Burnett, her first children's novel. It was published as a serial in St. Nicholas Magazine from November 1885 to October 1886, then as a book by Scribner's (the publisher of St. Nicholas) in 1886. The illustrations by Reginald B. Birch set fashion trends and the novel set a precedent in copyright law when Burnett won a lawsuit in 1888 against E. V. Seebohm over the rights to theatrical adaptations of the work.
