Frequently Asked Questions

No. And I am not violating Disney copyright or infringing upon their intellectual property.

If you’d like a longer explanation, see this Instagram post. While I use The Hells of Notre Dame as an example, the same logic applies to all my retellings.

I have never written, nor will I ever write a character under the age of 18 engaging in any kind of sexual activity.

If I mention a character in a sexual relationship or context, rest assured said character is both over the age of 18 and fully consenting to any activities that are taking place.

Remember: these are retellings, and loose retellings at that. Much is changed from the original stories, up to and including age if the story calls for it (and many often do).

I credit any and all of the wonderful and numerous professionals I work with on the copyright pages of each of my published works, and often tag the artists I commission when I share their art on my social media.

I have personally formatted all of my published books save for Lyres, Legends, and Lullabies, which is why there is no formatter listed.

Every book is different, and the warnings vary per book. The full list can always be found on that book’s sale page when purchased online. There is also a page/section in the front matter of both my ebooks and paperbacks which list content warnings for each specific book.

Please note that many of my books deal with very heavy subject matter, so please be sure to read the warnings carefully.

All my books feature diverse casts as well as main and supporting characters who identify as LGBT+. While I do not currently have an exhaustive list of every character’s identity, I will list a few highlights below:

In the Curses of Never series, Peter Pan is a transgender boy, Wendy is a lesbian, Elvira is bisexual with a preference for women, and Scarlett is bisexual with a preference for men. Cedric/Captain Hook is straight. (By no means an exhaustive list: there are many, many more.)

In The Phantom of Notre Dame series, Claude is a gender non-conforming lesbian with she/they pronouns, Esmeralda and Erik are pansexual, Raoul and Christine are bisexual with a preference for men, and Carlotta is bisexual with a preference for women. (Again, not an exhaustive list.)

**Note the bisexuals with a preference: this is not me erasing their bisexuality or stating that all bisexual people have to lean one way or another. I myself identify as bisexual with no preference for any gender. It is simply the way I differentiate this sexuality from pansexuality (attraction to all genders) as well as reaffirming the fact that they are bisexual despite never having any on-page interactions with a particular gender.

Yes. It’s not misspelling – it’s censoring due to homo/transphobic algorithims.

This is not me disrespecting a community to which I belong, implying that these are bad or dirty words, or anything of the sort.

Of course, I’d absolutely love not to have to censor myself when it comes to talking about queerness, but if I don’t – my content simply doesn’t get seen. I’ve tried and experimented with this time and time again, and anytime I spell the words correctly, use emojis commonly associated with queer content such as rainbows or rainbow flags, or use queer hashtags, my videos get severely, severely suppressed in the algorithim compared to my usual content. The only successful workaround I’ve found is censoring.

I understand this can be upsetting to see if you don’t know context, but the problem isn’t me – it’s these social media companies and their bigoted algorithims.
