Oh my holy butterbread: The Fairy Legacy has 25K reads! Thank you so, so much for this milestone! I never thought this day would come back when I was obsessing about reads and Wattpad success, but here we are now! I've still got a long way to go, but I'm happy with this milestone and this point of "success" in my stay on the platform.

And to celebrate this incredible milestone, let's delve straight into story-time. Cough I'm a writer, so deal with it. xD

I don't think I've ever told anyone the full story of how this massive universe of stories came to be, so now that we've come some ways, why not take the chance?

It all started on a dreary weekday, and little Cae thought to themself, what if I were to write a book and get published? That'd be cool. Granted, I've just finished reading Rick Riordan's The Red Pyramid as my first novel after the best friend of my friend shifted schools and loaned us novels from her school's library. I read that thick thing in a week, and I was soooo painfully slow, but it inspired me nonetheless. I wanted to write a book, so 13-year old Cae gathered a battered notebook sewn from recycled sheets from the previous school years. I was excited. I can finally use this garbage.

And that's where everything started. I figured I wanted a chosen-one kind of thing, a powerful girl who is thrust into a world of magic and such. Then, I watched No Game, No Life.

It's...a questionable anime about game theory and, um, a couple of other things, and it piqued my interest because I want to fit in with my highschool friends. But the anime's worldbuilding caught my attention. It features multiple mythological beasts that have been turned into races, and each of them have countries to rule. The human MCs now have to visit them all to defeat them in some kind of ranking game thing.

So, little Cae thought: what if there is a series about a single race, and after that, they'd go to other continents to deal with the other races?

And that, my friends, is the start of my tribulation.

See, to write that idea, I need to have written the preceding series first. As you can see, I am obsessed with matching covers, overarching plots, and multiple books before I even punched a key in the keyboard. Some villains have colorful backstories to fuel motivation. Looks like I was just kinda born with it. 😅

The problem? Little Cae doesn't know how to write a book, much less an entire series.

So, what happens? Oh, you know it.

Pantsing!

On Wattpad!

And thus, The Fairy Tale Conflicts was born. I told a bunch of interviews across different profiles on the platform of how Wattpad was a fad among my peers way back 2014, so I immediately saw it as a way to write and get famous. (Spoiler: I never did get famous, well, at least, not yet. lol.) Assembling a group of friends who cared enough to read my creations, I hammered away at The Fairy Tale Conflicts, the first novel I ever posted online that resembled a novel.
