Arash Kaveh Farzin, the second son of sultan Farzin Shapur Rahim, has lived his entire life sheltered in his father's palace - and envious of his older brother's freedom to roam the world. But there is nothing he can do about it except wait for his 18th birthday when he will be sent off to foreign country to marry a princess as a token of alliance.That is, until one night Sinbad, a thief (only by necessity) and a treasure hunter, escapes palace guards through his quarters and offers a magic carpet ride in gratitude for covering up for him. Arash instantly falls both for the handsome man and everything he represents. But there is much more to Sinbad than meets the eye. Quickly also Arash becomes completely tangled in the mysteries of djinns and the legacy of the legendary king that united all of Persia, Xerxes the Wise.~*~*~Beware the cliches, instant romance, animesque storylines and wacky characters. I'm not even trying to be serious with this story. ^_~ Heavy inspiration has been drawn from Magi (anime/manga) and Prince of Persia games. It's also my first attempt to write in first person POV.…

"By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit." (Matthew 7:16-17)I honestly can't understand American-style conservative / fundamentalist Christianity. Not all conservatives are like that (I hope), but it seems that no matter where I look - in Wattpad or in the wider Internet -, there's some supposedly biblical justification for hurting LGBT people, abusing women and children, crushing the poor, attacking anything resembling science and condemning everyone who thinks differently to Hell. The more I look into things, the deeper the rabbit hole gets.After several hundred hours of research, I decided to write down my arguments against this "toxic Christianity" and some thoughts how the focus could be brought back to what Jesus himself thought was most important. Love.Disclaimer: I'm not a Christian. I like Jesus a lot and seek to follow his example in my own life, but I don't need him as my savior. Overall, I don't like Pauline theology very much.And since it's Pride Month now, I'll start with what the Bible actually says about homosexuality. Debate is welcome, but I expect you to have done your homework. If you can't provide at least one article by a genuine biblical scholar, please don't bother to tell me I'm twisting the scripture. FYI, Answers in Genesis and similar sites don't qualify.…

This is my entry to the Open Novella Contest III, with the prompt "Dropped off with their quirky aunt for the holidays, three siblings discover there is real magic in the world." It may turn out a tad too scary to be children's fiction, though.This story takes place in early 1990s. No Internet, no mobile phones.…

This collection contains short "flashes" on different relationships between boys/men. As the title says, most of them are "moments in time", not full stories with a plot. Some have grown into full short stories.They can be cute, happy, sad, dramatic and everything in between. But what they are NOT is "adult". If you're looking for smut, this is not the book you want. Also there should not be graphic violence, although there will be some violence and death (at least mentioned). I just love stories with hardships and tragedy.Updated whenever new or old characters decide to show me another moment in time. Forced update is not a good update.Look, there's a new cover to celebrate the Pride Month! ^^…

The cursed land. A prison to throw those who people in power want gone - and not coming back through reincarnation. Raviel could not stop his brother from being banished to this realm, but after 10 long years of magical research he finally has the means to go after him and bring him home. If only finding him in the land infested by monsters - and often by men and women not much better - were that easy.---Winner of Horror category in The Flower's Awards 2018---Heavily inspired by Ravenloft books and the themes of Witcher 3 video game, so if you like either, at least give it a try. Feedback, both positive comments and constructive criticism, is very welcome.WARNING: I would not quite classify this as "mature adults only" - personally I read Ravenloft books in middle school -, but it does get pretty creepy at times. If creepy isn't your thing, you might want to wander elsewhere.…

Land beyond the clouds. A paradise of Sky spirits told of in heathen myths. Lucas has never doubted its existence, but neither did he even think of actually finding it until meeting Kress - a boy close to his own age who also carries one of the pendants said to be the keys to this mysterious place. Accompanied by Mrei, a princess desperate to find a cure for her sick father, the children set out on the journey to change everything.THIS IS A NANOWRIMO NOVEL. It most likely still needs a major rewrite. So...nitpick away! Every suggestion (even "this scene sucks") is welcome....Well, with the exception that I will not change it into third limited POV. I write in close third omniscient.…

The only thing Vine, a fallen angel, really wanted was to live peacefully among humans. That is not to be when a whole horde of low-level demons called 'dream-eaters' invade the tropical island he calls home.Although the majority of the inhabitants are slaughtered without any chance of escape, there are also two other survivors. Katherine, a young priest-in-training, and a mute little boy with a pitch black key that may be their only way to stay alive...Or one to condemn them for all eternity.This story takes place in an alternative universe Earth, with different history and mythology.If you think this should be rated mature, just let me know. It -is- a demon apocalypse, so there is violence. But I'm really not sure whether or not it warrants mature rating.(Cover image by Reseliz (https://reseliz.tumblr.com). I just added the text.)…

A long, long time ago I had online friends who made me fall in love with Sailor Moon anime. I was in Sailor Moon RPG Club and in several Sailor Moon online trading card games (we collected virtual "cards" (images admins had made) from different games and contests and traded them with other members to form full sets - or just random cards of favorites). One of them had a monthly story contest and drabble contest. All Sailor Moon themed, of course.So here are those drabbles and slightly longer stories. I have not edited them since then. I probably couldn't anyway, since I've forgotten so much of the fandom.Have fun! Or just laugh at how silly I was back then. (The cover image was drawn by me for an art contest too.)This book is dedicated to Ariel (IslandApricot), a Sailor Moon fan and a living piece of sunshine (and lots of hugs). ^^…

A chance meeting leads to an unlikely bond between two who should have never met. And not everybody in Mist's pack is willing to accept it.…
