Updates to the Blog

So I made some changes to the blog, as most of you can probably tell. I like some of the changes I made, but I think with this layout more changes are inevitable. More or less, actually. I plan to update the blog often, some things might even be updated without your knowing. I'll do my best to keep you aware of the updates, but I'm not sure a blog post would be worth it. So to be fully updated on all the changes, go ahead and stay updated with my Facebook and Twitter. My Twitter is more up-to-date than my Facebook, just to let you know. 

 The "Once Upon a Time" tab is the place where you'll be going to the most to get easy access to the comics pages. As some would notice, I made a post with all the three tabs (Comics, Music, Poems) in one. It'll get updates that I would have made to those tabs. Sooner or later, the post will fade off with the old posts, thus the point for the "Once Upon a Time" tab. This tab will have a link to the post with all the information on it. The tab will also feature future stories that are apart of the same timeline.

 The "Store" tab is self explanatory; a page with all the merchandise I'm selling. Currently all I have is Hansel and Gretel, but other stories will be joining it soon. Also, if you take a look at the things I'm selling, there is one that says "Commission". This is an option where you can buy a commission from me. I'll be working on the details, but what you'll most likely have to do is contact me on deviantART and request the commission there. More things will be added to the "Store" page, like handmade objects and merchandise provided by other means. 

 The "Pictures" tab was something I wanted to add for the longest time. All the art I do for this series will be featured there. I think you'll enjoy the pictures that will appear there. I'll even put fan art up if people send it in. I love drawing, so I'll be adding pictures there every weekend, starting next week. If you like my art style, be sure to visit my deviantART page, where I draw a bunch of stuff outside of the Tales of Fabula.

 And the last tab is one I just added for the heck of it. The "About" tab will feature questions I get from people about the Fabula series. It'll probably be the least updated out of the blog, but probably one of the most beneficial. I only have three questions up right now, with more on the way as I receive them. 

 The blog is easy to get around, with a lot more options than before. I hope you're looking forward to future updates and stories. Remember, if you have any questions or fairy tales that you want to see join the series, just leave a comment. I want to be connected to my fans and just about anyone who thinks my stories are worth looking into. Thanks a ton everyone and I'll see you next week!

Hansel and Gretel Information

This page is dedicated specifically for Hansel and Gretel of the Tales of Fabula series.

• COMIC

Hansel and Gretel Cover

Story thus far… A famine has accrued and a family of four is suffering from it. The father of the family, Wilhelm, has lost his wife many years prior. Before her death, she had twins, Hansel and Gretel. To make sure that they get the love of a mother, he had married again. He fell in love with a woman named Annie, who was friendly and a good housewife. To their demise, she was an unloving woman when it came to Hansel and Gretel. Annie looked for reasons to get rid of them so that it could be just her and Wilhelm, but she could not do it. Hansel and Gretel always beat her at her own game. But, perhaps there is one more trick that the twins cannot overcome…

                             Days of the Past                               

                                   Back in those woods, we played and sing
                              Now in this day, we are just puppets on a string
                                 Cursed to be burned by a never ending fire
                                By he, who has made an unstoppable choir
                        We now sit in our sufferings, waiting for the light to come

                               Oh, how great our past life was in that time
                                  Oh, how we loved being in our prime
                              With parents who loved us without ending
                             Even if our mother's love was very rending
                              We didn't notice, so it was pleasing to us

                            Even living in the woods, we didn't seem to mind
                                It taught us how to be humble and kind
                        But we did think of what it must be like to live in a town
                                 But the nearest one was burnt down
                           All because of one man's greed from golden eggs

                                  If only we could see, see the obvious truth
                              Then we could have fought the evil in our youth
                        But now we are under a curse from our own wicked doing
                               But the Orchestra had corrupted our viewing
                            Committing a horrible act was the thing we did last
                                  All back in our days, the days of our past

                           Curses of Eternity

                                          What it means to lose it all

                                   What it means to look back at time

                                     The true meaning of this evil action

                Will one day be understood by those who fall into her hands

                    As if there were any reasons to carry out these songs

                             One would think these actions are pure evil

                        Yet those mortals carry out their own selfish deeds

                                They have the courage to carry them out

                                   Those that are their own destruction

                          Now we go and punish them for their foolishness

                                 This task is heavy, even for the strongest

                    Wherefore, a deal must be made to the simple minded

                           Give into their selfish desires so that they may fall

                         Now they aid in the cursing through their own curse

                             The curse that never seems to fade away

              The fox of deceit, the wolf of evil, and the wizard of confusion 

                           Only the chosen people have seen their music 

                       The music that is constructed by an even greater force

                                Is it by this force the curses are placed?  

                                It must be, the evil within the selfishness 

                      Are curses that have lived more near to that of "eternity"

                                   Out Past Dark

                          This feeling is something beyond comprehension

                           It brings me joy, yet great sorrow to my heart

                             A feeling that comes only after the sun sets

                           In this forest that is known as home to many,

                         An uneasy feeling drifts into my soul like that of hell

                             

                          Never to stay out past this time, never to travel at night,

                             Night being the time, darkness shall stay outside

                                Destruction would follow if no one else did

                                         Why must this feeling be evil?

                               Where and when did it come into this forest?

                          Curiosity has lead the way for all who enter the forest

                                Down the road, surely family awaits there

                             Hope, in the form of a bird, in the form of feelings

                        Surely there is hope down this way, as the thoughts flow

                    Not being the first one on this road, has my family been here?

                          Night has come and the sun has fallen from the sky

                        That evil entity, it must have caused this uneasy feeling 

                            When looked upon, it seems to be but a shadow

                  Paranoia shall not have me, nor others who follow the feelings

                             It's in that happy moment that a curse had been cast

                         Cast upon a sorry soul in that forest known as "my" feelings

Quick Status Update and Future Posts

I haven't updated for a long time now and I want to apologize for that. I really wanted to start updating every week so that you'll know about the stories I produce when they come out. I had hoped to get you all excited for it, but I obviously failed at that. I'm sorry for that.

 I wanted to make a few quick status updates while I'm at it. My computer caught a virus a few weeks back and it stopped me from saying much on my Twitter. Currently, I'm using my sister's computer to make this blog post. On the bright side to this problem, a good friend of mine will be taking the virus off my computer. The only draw back is that some things on it will probably be erased with it. Yeah, that's pretty bad, but not as bad as going out and buying another computer. Being told that overpowers the fact that a few things will be erased.

 While I wait, I will be working more on Hansel and Gretel. The script for the story is just about done, with the comic pages not too far behind. I don't want to make it official or anything, but I am aiming for a release in November. I do have plans that when Hansel and Gretel is released, I'll upload the poster for the next Fairy Tale in the Tales of Fabula comic series. In a way, I have already started it. Nothing to major; I'm only planning what the story will be like. I think it'll be a bit confusing at first, but all will make sense in time.

 Also, I want to talk about the future of the blog. I will be doing my best at making blog posts every Saturday. My Saturdays are usually busy with family matters, which is why I resort to night time posts. I'll still be working hard on making the posts. If I get a chance to make in earlier, then I'll take that chance. I also hope to make the blog more interesting with more options and tabs. It takes a lot of research in order to do this, but I hope I can make it work.

 I just want to say real quick that the music I'm making for Hansel and Gretel, and most likely other stories as they come, will be free. I was hoping to sell them at first, but I don't think that's a good idea on my part. So when I update my blog in appearance, I'll take away the music part and apply it to the section with the comics. I think the tabs will be changed quite a bit when I get to work on it.

 I have a lot of hopes and ideas for this series, and I hope you are looking forward to things in the future. I'll add a picture to every Saturday blog post from now on so that way it'll keep you excited. Be sure to expect posts on days besides Saturday. I might feel like saying something every once in a while. Anyways, I'll see you again soon when the updates return.
