What happens to all the women in A THOUSAND AND ONE NIGHTS who the emperor weds? What if he didn't summon them to the palace just to marry and kill them off?

@KaptnKath Ahhhh thank you for the recommendation ❤ I feel so bad now because I did read that book or the first one at least and I really don't mean this as offense to anyone who liked it.. but let's just say the writing and characters were too cringe for me. I also read another retelling, A Thousand Nights, and couldn't get through that one either. Like I said, I've been craving a good retelling for a loooonggg long time T.T

@sahrastorm You should try the Wrath and the Dawn series, it's a retelling of the Thousand and One Nights and focuses on the story of the girl who marries the emperor (instead of the short stories she tells him like in the original Arabian Nights).

I have one critique and it's that this was too short! Please I've been craving for a good 1001 Nights fantasy retelling for so long T.T

Okay, I just had to stop and message you… I started reading your stories and I’m honestly hooked!
          The way you write has that gift where your characters feel alive it’s so vivid I could picture it playing out like a scene in my head.
          
          I’m actually an illustrator & designer (mostly character art, book covers, comic panels, banners, that sort of thing)  and your story instantly sparked so many visual ideas. Your world feels real.
          Just thought I’d say: you’ve got something special here!
          
          And if you ever think about turning parts into a mini comic, a dramatic new cover, character sheets, promo banners for Publish / social, or even visuals for your next book I’d genuinely love to collab or show you what I imagine.
          
          Either way, keep writing! You’ve definitely got a new fan now. ^^

Hi all, unfortunately I've somehow lost my drawing stylus?? I literally only ever keep it in one place, so I don't know how that happened. But this means there'll be no TAP chapter release this week. I have ordered a new one, but it's international shipping and who knows how long that will take, so I apologise for the delay.
          
          Until then, you can catch up on previous 20 chapters of THE AUTUMN PRINCE at https://www.patreon.com/collection/84093?view=expanded
          
          Happy weekend!

@AM-Prabeswar oh my 0.o that would definitely suck. On the bright side, your skills remain, you will only improve!

@JonathanKonopka Would be weird if someone stole my drawing pen and nothing else… My biggest theory is I accidentally threw it out  while deep cleaning the house a few weeks ago T_T

AM-Prabeswar

@AnimeFan4758 Yeah, it’s fine, I’m in no rush so I don’t mind waiting for the new pen.

@AM-Prabeswar The whole set is soo beautiful it makes me mad I can't have a physical copy on my book shelf but that last book in particular... uhh how do I say without spoiling this ahaha.. maybe the Russian word "toska" fits bets to describe the beauty and yearning sadness it makes me feel.

Anyone here like dark fantasy filled with southeast-asian mermaids, revenge, and a twisted love? Then I've just dropped the right short story for you to close your weekend ˵•̀ᴗ - ˵
          
          This short story is a reimagining of a local folktale, JAKA TARUB AND THE SEVEN APSARAS, about a man who steals a nymph's shawl and eventually ends up being the patriarch of the kingdom of Mataram. I always thought as a child ... huh, am I just tripping or did he not manipulate a woman into having a child with him? No one gonna talk about that part?
          
          Well here you go, I fixed that for you XD https://www.patreon.com/posts/dhouyung-and-her-124200745
          
          Read the short story before it closes behind a paywall on March 31, though you do have to be signed in to Patreon (under a free account) to access the post. Happy weekend, everyone!

Novel_Worm

@AM-Prabeswar haha yeah true... But I do remember the story. 
            I wonder what became of the child...?

@YashfinKazmi If I practice a hundred more times, maybe it will be enough for Book 3 XD
            @Novel_Worm I don't know if Isla would be caught dead wearing those dancer clothes XD
            @cinthya-reads LMAO right?? And people would get annoyed because I was focusing on "irrelevant" details -_-

Do you know when you'll take off TCOK? I would like to reread it before you do.

AM-Prabeswar

@YashfinKazmi Sorry for the late response. I'm still weighing whether it'd be better to keep it online for evidence purposes, so I'm not sure yet when/if I'll be taking it down... I'll give a month's notice in advance if I do decide to take it off Wattpad.
