Once upon a time… became every time.
The kingdoms of Everafter look like a storybook dream. Castles, curses, dragons, and destiny. But underneath the glittering surface, something is wrong. For generations, the same stories have played out, over and over. Cinderella always flees at midnight. Sleeping Beauty always pricks her finger. The Huntsman always spares Snow White.
The stories repeat. The same heroes. The same villains. The same endings. Generations of people trapped in loops they don’t remember, playing out fairytales over and over with only the smallest variations. No one notices. No one questions it.
Until now.
A few individuals have begun to remember. Flashes of lives they’ve lived before, dreams that feel too real. They are Awakened, and they are not alone. Whispers of rebellion grow louder. A masked figure called The Red Pen offers freedom from fate. The fabled Epilogue, a place outside the narrative, might hold the answers. And behind it all is the mysterious force known only as The Author, the one who rewrites the world whenever they get bored, or things start going off-script.
You are a character from a fairy tale. Maybe you’re the lead character who gets rescued for the umpteenth time, and is just sick of it. Maybe you’re the villian who’s tired of being a villian? Maybe you’re just a random villager doesn’t want to be in the background anymore? No matter who you are, something inside you knows: this is not how your story ends.
Will you follow the script… or write your own ending?

So, this is an idea I’m working on. Who’s interested in helping me flesh this out?
