Paige B. Storey’s Fandom Corner

A place for discussing the wonderful world of fanfiction (fanart, cosplays, and covers also included!) Creator goes by She/Her pronouns

[paigebstorey]

Hi, everyone! Since I have just joined tumblr, I feel like I should introduce myself…

Most writers within the vast world of the Internet know me as Paige Brooklyn Storey, but feel free to call me whatever you want here! I’m not sure what else to say about myself at this time, so I’ll just plan for an ice breaker to be my next post.

In the meantime, speaking of ice, allow me to introduce you all to a crossover that I have actively been working on:

Snowflake in the Sea

This fanfic is a Disney crossover that primarily focuses on Frozen and The Little Mermaid (the animated original, although I plan to write a live action revision once I finish this version). It takes place during main events of The Little Mermaid, but before the events of Elsa’s coronation in Frozen.

In this story, Elsa finds herself thrust into Ariel’s kingdom after her parents are lost at sea, leading to the two princesses becoming friends, although that’s just the tip of the iceberg for now…

For anyone interested in reading this story, I currently have the first 19 chapters posted on the following websites:

Snowflake in the Sea

Princess Elsa becomes the sole survivor of a storm at sea after accompanying her parents on their fateful voyage. Now...

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Snowflake in the Sea Chapter 1: Goodbye, Anna, a Frozen + Little Mermaid Crossover fanfic | FanFiction

I hope you enjoy reading this from whichever source you choose. Reading through the current chapters should take approximately two hours if read in one sitting, but the chapters are relatively short for in case anyone needs a break in-between.

Thank you so much for checking out this post! :-)

so basically you put lyrics that have to have be by the Sam e artist or have at least one of the same words

Example - who cares if all the lights go out, in the sky of a million stars? ( linkin park)

Take my heart, don't break it. Love me to my bones, you and I stargazing ( miles smith)

They both have the word star in it!! Or I could have done another linkin park song!!!

First lyric--

Just a lost boy in a small town I'm the same kid but I'm grown now Try to make it out but I don't know how Wish that I was young, what have I become? Now it's late night and I'm at home So I make friends with my shadow

And I play him all my sad, sad songs

Remember- the lyrics have to have at least one word that's the same or be by the same artist

Love doesn't discriminate Between the sinners and the saints It takes and it takes and it takes And we keep loving anyway We laugh and we cry and we break And we make our mistakes And if there's a reason I'm by her side When so many have tried Then I'm willing to wait for it I'm willing to wait for it

“Satisfied” from Hamilton

(Same artist and the words “never be”)

Number two:

He’s after me ‘cause I’m a Schuyler sister.

That elevates his status. I

Have to be naive to set that aside.

Maybe that is why…

I introduce him to Eliza; now, that’s his bride!

Nice going, Angelica. He was right:

He will never be satisfied!

Sometimes I lay awake at night and wonder why did they take Fiyero being part of a prejudiced group of nomadic people slowly losing their land to the wizard’s greed

Why did they take out Fiyero being called derogatory words

Why? Why did they whitewash him? Im all for his la la attitude that they gave him but why make him Elphaba’s Prince Charming love interest instead of a friend who could relate to her

[just-your-average-shiz-student]

Once I accepted all the complications of adapting the Wicked books into a 2 hour and 45 minutes musical, I kind of learned to just shrug at all the ways they missed the mark on Fiyero. Between all the complexities involving his race, people and family, I think it’s safe to assume the writers just took the lazy route and made him Early 2000s Generic Male Love Interest Nº 947397.

That’s the kinder interpretation of what happened, anyway. The other – and sadly just as possible – reason is that including all the other racial themes from the book (those that aren’t already addressed by Elphaba’s verdigris, that is) would demand Fiyero be played by a man of color, and I’m sad to say that even in the year of our Lurline 2003 the musical theater community would be hesitant to do this, because 1) With an actual person of color in the role and not just Elphaba’s improbable condition, it becomes much harder for audiences to ignore the message of the story once it no longer depends on Fantastical Racism; don’t wanna risk offending them casual racists or make them think about the real world, oh no… and 2) Regardless of the fact that Elphaba is green and keeping in mind that for the overwhelming majority of the musical’s existence she’s been played by white actresses, a book accurate Fiyero would mean the main pair of a huge Broadway play being a interracial couple, and uh… let’s say that besides homophobes ignoring the romantic subtext (and oftentimes just text) between Elphaba and Glinda, we’d have racists trying to argue that Elphaba and Fiyero “make more sense as friends” and there would be entire think pieces on why As Long As You’re Mine is “too inappropriate” for a family musical or that it’s “secretly about platonic bonds”.

That was all a very long-winded way of saying that the early 2000s were very racist and art really suffered from it.

Robert (It’s tricky because I lowkey don’t think he’s that into music)

Edward (also difficult because he, out of all the main characters, has the least access to contemporary music 🙃)

Nancy

Morgan

I didn’t give THAT much thought to these I just needed to geek out in a way that doesn’t require actual effort 🙂‍↕️🙏

Misadventure MerMay♓️

Day 30: Chibi

I was hoping to draw a picture of Pisces Realta twins Cove (He/Him) and Rain (She/Her) in Chibi style today, but never got the chance to start it.

What I specifically had in mind was for both twins to be hanging out in an underwater grotto, with Rain feeding garden eels poking out of the ground and Cove drawing a whale swimming overhead in his sketchbook.

I probably could have also tried to figure out how to include the ASL spellings of their names (since Rain is deaf), which could be a motivator for me to be better about learning sign language in the future (as well as how to draw hand gestures in general).

If this drawing project from the MerMay prompts had been successful, I would have also attempted to use today’s Misadventure May prompt as an excuse to make up one of the projects that I had failed to do on their actual day.

Oh, well… better luck next year, I guess?

Misadventure MerMay ❄️

Days 28 & 29: Icon & Portals

For some reason, the humans who ran the aquarium seemed to really enjoy playing the song “Ice Ice Baby” on the radio. Their excuse was that they considered the song to be very iconic.

Kim, the koi-tailed resident mermaid, did not agree. In fact, she desired to be as far away from that annoying song as possible, especially if it would get her out of her tank!

One day, a little trident fell into Kim’s tank. At first, she thought it was just a souvenir toy from the aquarium’s gift shop that a baby must have dropped by accident. But when she grabbed it, all while once again thinking her desire to be far away from that extremely obnoxious song on the radio, she found herself tumbling midwater through a kaleidoscope of bubbles!

The next thing she knew, she was swimming through shockingly cold water, which tasted stale from lack of salt, and murky due to the presence of mud instead of sand.

At least it’s quieter here, Kim thought through her shivers.

She swam up to the surface to see where she was, pushing aside slabs of ice that were almost as thick as the glass of her tank. As soon as her head was above water, Kim could see that she was in the middle of a frozen pond, which viewed the edge of a forest, sparkling like a cluster of a thousand pearls from the winter snow. It was beautiful, and it was peaceful, but it wasn’t what the mermaid was looking for.

She looked down at the trident, still grasped in her hand. “I think I desire somewhere warmer.”

Kim dived back underwater, feeling the rush of bubbles that greeted her once again like a kaleidoscope. When she emerged, she felt that it was indeed much warmer now, and her tongue was tickled by the taste of salt in the water that she swam through.

Breaking the surface, she discovered that she was now in a deep, sun-kissed lagoon, where she could hear seagulls screeching softly in the distance, and see a family of seals resting peacefully on some rocks near the shore. Below her, however, the water looked bottomless.

“I might want to come back here later,” Kim pondered to the trident. “But for now, I desire somewhere a little smaller, that still allows me to enjoy both my newfound freedom, and some peace and quiet.”

With one last tumble, the trident pointed Kim to open shallow water, with the fresh taste of salt, and a clear and close view of the sand below from the surface above.

“Perfect!”

And so, with trident in hand, Kim swam blissfully into the unknown.

By the way, I am not a Vanilla Ice fan (he was just the first “icon” I could think of who fit the prompts for “Ice” and “Baby”). I think it’s a blessing in disguise that I wasn’t able to do yesterday’s prompts on their actual day, because by combining them with today’s prompts, I was able to get more inspiration for this story (which I am relieved that I managed to post on time)!

Misadventure MerMay🪾🌈

Day 26: Shel Silverstein

“And so the boy cut down her trunk and made a boat and sailed away.” ~The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein

The boy eventually joined a pirate crew, and dismissed his the boat from his tree’s trunk (just like how he dismissed everything else she had given him after he became a man) to be a mere lifeboat at best.

One night, a spark from a broken lantern caused the ship to catch fire, and the boy had to escape using the lifeboat from his tree.

Among the crashing waves, his eyes caught the spark of faded rainbow scales mixed with blotches like scars. A head poked through the surfaced, and the boy was greeted by a mermaid who grabbed onto his boat and looked at him with a stern expression.

“You’re not the one I’m here to rescue,” she told him. “You just benefit from her suffering.”

The boy looked around with shocked puzzlement. “But there’s no one else here.”

The mermaid sighed, and began to tell him her story, pushing the lifeboat to safety as she spoke…

“I once had a vibrant tail that shined with every color of the rainbow. However, the other creatures of the sea were jealous of my beauty, and wouldn’t include me in anything unless I shared my scales with them.

I eventually obliged, ripping off my scales so that others could wear them on their own tails and allow me to join them. But they still left me behind, with nothing but scars to show, all because they one day decided that everyone wearing my scales was just a one time thing!

I was able to sense the sorrow of your boat’s tree, and it reminded me of my own pain.

I am not here for you. I’m only doing this for her.”

By the time they had reached dry land, the mermaid was almost shriveled to a husk, for she had been out of the water for too long.

Still clinging to the edge of the boat for dear life, she pleaded to its passenger with a hoarse whisper, “Do not… take her… for granted… Do not… let her… end up… like… meeeee!”

With that final screech, the mermaid collapsed in the sand and shriveled into iridescent seaweed.

Sparked by the mermaid’s last words, the boy gently placed her seaweed inside the boat of his tree’s trunk and buried them on the beach, marking their spot with “Rainbow + Tree” inside a drawn heart.
