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....
Aisha/Nex Story: Possible Name
I haven’t decided on a name for my story yet. Originally, I wanted to call it Aisha & Nex (essentially Life & Death), but that’s too generic. Plus, when people see that name, they might not wanna read the story because they either hate this couple or they have...
Aisha/Nex Story: You’re NOT the Center of My World
One thing I didn’t like about Nabu is he was treated like the solution to all of Aisha’s problems. “Oh, Aisha, you had a rough childhood? Your first friend moved away? Your parents are too strict? You have trust issues and loner tendencies? “Don’t worry! All you need is...
Aisha/Nex Story: My 3 Favorite Story Writing Resources
For the past several days, I’ve been working on my non-Winx Aisha/Nex story “The Thread”. I’m focusing on Nex’s backstory, since he doesn’t have one in Winx Club yet. He’s a more complex character than you might think. It’s hard to tie all his traits and contradictions together in...
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: 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: To Pass Through Fire
If you like fluffy love stories full of cute scenes that belong on valentines, let me warn you: you might not like my Aisha/Nex story. I have cruel plans for these two. They will suffer, physically and emotionally. Why would I torture two characters I love? That’s exactly why:...
Aisha/Nex Story: A Few Details About Aisha and Nex
My story may be about Aisha and Nex, but they won’t be the same as you know them in Winx Club. I’ve spent the last several weeks developing their backstories, motivations, and character arcs (especially Nex’s, since Aisha has more to work with). Here’s a small, spoiler-free preview of...
Aisha/Nex Story: Show, Don’t Tell
A common piece of writing advice is “show, don’t tell”. When you tell your audience what a character did or felt, the audience won’t see it or feel it. For example, what if I said this: Sarah was angry. So what? That’s just a statement. But what if I...
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....
