Aisha/Nex Story: Who Am I Writing For?
“This story is about Winx Club characters, but this is not a Winx Club story.” That (or something similar) will be the first line in my Author’s Notes. I don’t know how many people read fanfiction based on series they haven’t watched, but that’s what I’m hoping for. Maybe...
Aisha/Nex Story: 3 Worldbuilding Resources
It’s been more than a month since I talked about my Aisha/Nex story, so here’s an update. My main focus over the last few months has been developing Nex and his family. After all, we don’t know as much about him in Winx Club as we know about Aisha....
Aisha/Nex Story: Progress
If you’re a regular reader, you already know I’m writing a three-part series about Aisha and Nex. The only canon Winx Club characters in it will be Aisha and Nex (obviously), Aisha’s parents, and possibly Anne. None of the others exist, ever existed, or will ever exist. (See more...
Aisha/Nex Story: Expanding to a Series
Note: I’m talking about my non-Winx story formerly called “The Thread” (more on that in a moment). My story will span about three years. I don’t wanna cram them into one “book”, so I’ve decided to write a three-part series. Aisha and Nex’s relationship will develop gradually throughout it....
Aisha/Nex Story: What Am I Keeping, Changing, and Cutting?
Just wanted to share some of my plans. Don’t worry. I won’t give everything away. ? My story will combine a couple original ideas I came up with before Rainbow introduced Nex. Coincidentally, one of those ideas also focused on a pair of characters who represented life and death....
Starting a New Project
I wanna believe the Winx fandom will warm up to Aisha and Nex. Some fans already are, but most of them still refuse to accept them. Everything has been working against this couple from the start: Nabu‘s death cast a shadow over their relationship before they even met. Aisha...
Thoughts on Shipping
I never liked shipping. Now I hate it, thanks to my experiences in the Winx fandom for the last few years. Shipping clouds people’s judgement and twists their views of each character as an individual. Clearly, it’s worse when a main character like Aisha has more than one love...
Aisha in Winx Season 3: “I’ll Choose My Guy”
When Aisha’s mother, Queen Niobe, tried to convince her to marry Nabu, Aisha said, “When the right time comes, I’ll choose my guy.” Fast forward to Winx season six. In comic #131, “La Prova di Nex” (Nex’s Test), she introduced Nex to her parents. It might not sound like...
“One Thread” Fanfiction?
I think that quote about life and death being “one thread” would make a great concept for a fanfic. The “different sides” could be Aisha and Nex coming from different backgrounds. We’d get to see how Nex grew up. (I have some ideas for his backstory.) I would have...
