My fairyland is a tribute to the real dragon-fighters in the world today, the people who risk their lives for social justice.
Destiny Rescue, A21, and countless other organisation workers who everyday work towards releasing men children and women from slavery. You are the real dragon- fighters. People who raise awareness… you help.
Women teaching women about women’s health and providing essential hygiene items to the people who need it most and can least afford it. You are dragon-fighters. People who raise funds and use their talents to make make the supplies that they give out… You help them help others.
I dream of a world where people want to help others. A world where we realise we cannot do everything but we need to do something.
If my imagination can inspire even one person to make a difference somewhere and fight for social justice, it’s worth it.
I am afraid of boring you with waffle… I would also like this page to be a place where you can come and write a paragraph or more in the loopholes. If you read it and say… I know exactly what happened in this part here… pls comment or email me your pieces. It’s like shareware for stories here.
Here’s a story I wrote years ago, when it seemed I would never be married, It literally a vent… I had given up reading fiction for lent, was bored out of my brains at sleep time and the characters “told me their story”… I read it to my husband (then boyfriend) last year, and it was so surprising how similar this story was to ours.
It was like we had been fighting the same dragons from different angles.and had similar frustrations… I even mentioned Beau and Canella at our wedding at the reception and they were in vows.
To be completely honest, I almost destroyed these stories due to the lack of feed back and general cynicism from a particular family member. She could not help just giving me that little needle after the wedding… “Oh thank Goodness you didn’t blather on too much at the wedding with your fairy stories”… I sucked it up and here they are…
Oh one more thing I really wanted to mention was that I dream of making it so that the stories will have your children’s names in them. Their friends and cousins can be included fairly easily with the right programming. I wanted my niece and nephew to feel closer to their cousins and the kids that call me aunty Jude so their names have been put in the stories, but eventually it will be your kids in there.
