Winx Fan Art: Happy Birthday, Renata! (2020)

You remember Renata, right? She’s my Winx next-generation fairy, Aisha and Nex’s daughter. Her power is rain. I commissioned fan art for her parents’ birthdays (here and here), so it only seemed right to finish the set. But I wanted to do something different than another party. So I...

Aisha/Nex Story: Nex Concept Art

I’m not a good artist. That’s why I commission Aisha/Nex fan art instead of drawing it myself. So when I come up with characters, I always struggle to get them out of my head and onto paper. Fortunately, I didn’t create Aisha and Nex, so I have templates to...

Winx Fan Art: Renata Enchantix Design

I haven’t talked about my next-gen OC Renata much lately. In case you don’t remember her, she’s Aisha and Nex’s daughter (of course ?). She’s the Fairy of Rain, so she can control all forms of condensation and precipitation: rain, fog, mist, hail, sleet, frozen rain, and more. “Renata”...

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: Worldbuilding is Easy When You’re 12

Talk about good timing. My dad called me Sunday evening. While cleaning out a random green bin at his house, he found something I’d forgotten about — a defining part of my past. It was my worldbuilding notes for a book I wrote in middle school that almost got...

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: 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: 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: 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: 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...
