Looking forward to see more! Curious if it's now a kingdom of elves, or if that's only the elite/royal family. Also looking forward to see Jeanne have to bluff/deal with any new social connections.

This is a wonderful chapter as always, but I'm starting to become especially infatuated with the characterization of the Princess in Jon's thoughts, here. She's super cute, from what I'm gathering; well done!

Loved the development and how you tied up this story. Congratulations, I enjoyed every chapter a lot.

I don't know what you still have in mind for this story, but I would be happy to see more of all those characters settling down inti their new lives for good and how Ruby will be conceived in that night ;)

@Great Sage - it was more of a lampshade for the pysanky mentioned in the next chapter, to dress up as mere flavor text what was actually a bit of foreshadowing ;) But that works, too...

Seems like the voice in Linda's head should be trying to get her to use the wishing stone, making more widespread changes for the "good" of the kingdom. But I'll understand if you'd rather keep things "small" and focus on Jon, I mean Jeanne, trying to deal with their new reality of being forced to act like a princess.

Don’t worry, I picked up on that. Feeling like I’m in the final stretch for this now too.

Great chapter, can't wait to meet the new Jeanne. Also quite curious to see how Zoe and Karyn have changed in this new world.

Please don't see it as a criticism, it was more of a hot take. I enjoyed the branch overall, although I still to intend to try and bring my version to a conclusion (along with years of other unfinished storylines) at some point.

Lol, thanks a bunch Matis!

All rise for another post from the Great and Mighty Enjeubleu! bows

Seriously, though, ditto to what Mary said. This chapter is fantastic.

I see what you mean! Just wanted to leave it open for anyone else to add should they want lol

Thanks so much, Mary!!! I spent way too much time trying to get the feel of this chapter right, so I’m delighted to know someone enjoyed it

Absolutely delightful build up to that end of chapter wish! Your characterization of Linda and her internal 'queen-ness' is so enjoyable to read and I can't wait to see how it manifests in future chapters as I'm loving her authoritative and stern posturing. And that's not even the best part! I really hope Jon enjoyed that because I'm pretty those are the last empty carbs he'll be eating for a while! Great great great update, can't wait for more!

Feels like a choose your own adventure.

😂

"solitude quickly erodes the frail stilts that had been propping up Jon's hope."
That's pure poetry. Love it.

I'm surprised Zoey didn't make a wish after Ryder left that he couldn't enter the house uninvited, and that he couldn't touch the stone or make wishes on it, just in case he did witness Zoey making wishes. But, I guess that wouldn't make for as exciting a story.

I must've been hit with the Bubblegum Stone, because I accidentally published this out of order (kind of). I'm going to get rid of the other one and do a bit of rewriting on this storyline. Who knew thinking "what would a bimbo do?" eventually makes you think like one in real life.

PSA never make wishes on a glowing pink stone unless you're ok with having massive boobs and sometimes forgetting what chapter you've written or not.

All should be explained soon

So, how are unchanged people picking up on the changes?

That’s certainly an unique way to do a swap

Creepy... and very bizarre...

I do have it planned out, and I will get round to doing their little roll-back, just want to get the mainline branch finished first now, before I hit another burnout with it.

Curious if we'll visit the Meshidas story.

Don't worry about pace, dear. I also enjoy the things that you are doing with the names. May be a little confusing, but it fits within the story and thw own characters confusion about their new beings and roles. Thanks for writing this.

Quick plug for the FB Discord server, if you have other issues with the site, or suggestions to improve it, or just want to hang out with other authors/readers

Yay for twinning!

Ah brilliant, thanks very much, looks like I’d just copied the wrong link.

The "Change avatar" link on the settings page was old, and has been removed. You want the section on the settings page labeled "New avatar URL". Put an image URL in that textbox and click the "Update avatar URL" button.

Also note that the URL has to be to an actual image, not a page containing an image. Your current URL https://postimg.cc/JszpL3zm will not work, that is a link to a web page containing an image. Try right-clicking (or long-pressing on mobile) and choose something like "Copy image address". The URL should typically end in an image file extension, like .png, .jpg, or .gif

Will Karyn continue to make more selfish wishes? Or did she think she has done enough for now

With the knowledge of what is to come, that throwaway comment about embracing her Slavic heritage puts me in mind of the folklore regarding Egg-born, which refers to a kind of witch, I think.

"her breasts started to climb the alphabet"

😂 OK, that's a good one. I like this phrasing.

Potentially at some point; at the moment she's just relieved they're not questioning her too much, and doesn't have enough context to necessarily immediately realize they're going along with anything she says. Once she starts to become more comfortable as Sarah, she may start to get suspicious.

Will Jon ever find out how much power she holds over Sarah’s olds friends? Like would she ever get suspicious of the squad’s behavior

I hope you would take another go with this branch since your writing has improved. It’s been one of my favorite branches.

Zelo my thoughts are, what would I do with it in this situation. There is also nothing by this point that suggests too strongly Sarah is a bad person, just that she is spoiled. The problem is that all the parallel stories have her turn extraordinarily evil and I guess that became the prevalent idea.

My intent was actually this would be a generic hub that others might write from since no one likes my actual stories. Should I take off the thing at the end where she orders Jon to state his fantasy so it’s not constrained for him to go first?

Feels a bit too much like an [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AuthorFilibuster] at times, but otherwise it's... fine, I suppose. Definitely nice to see a person - especially Sarah - NOT go too crazy with their newfound wishgranting powers. We shall see if that sticks or not.

I see this going in a lot of very fun and interesting ways.

Interesting. I hope that you continue this story

Poor Allison. 🙁

First, I want you to know I LOVE this story, it's one of my favorites on here. I've lost count of the number of times I've read all the parts. I hope it gets continued.
Second, this episode reminds me of geeky dorky me back in high school. I had a severe crush on a gorgeous cheerleader. It took me two months to work up the nerve to ask her out, and when I finally did she responded by politely and quietly saying, "I can't." She didn't laugh, she didn't slam the phone down, and to the best of my knowledge, she never spread it around school. If you have to be turned down by someone, that seems the nicest way possible. Thank you for your Beautiful Writing!

Ok, that was weird. I normally use a Firefox-based browser here. For a change I tried a Chromium-based browser, and things look better - but it was weird. When I first loaded a page, it looked the same as in the FF browser, but after a very short - but easily noticeable - bit of time the browser re-rendered the page with the correct blank lines. Weird.

Thanks for the suggestions, but no luck. Javascript is enabled and clearing the fictionbranches.net cookies had no effect.

Why $50s?

"One thing is for certain. Shopping looks way more fun when edited down to just a character pulling back a curtain over and over wearing different outfits getting their friends reactions, played along with a song like "Girlfriend" by Avril Lavigne or something like that."
😂

@t_thxthx do you happen to have JavaScript disabled in your browser? If so, you will need to either enable it or clear your cookies.

It does paragraphs for me, in your post the blank line is there... Do you have user css set up or something like that? An extension in your browser maybe?

To wit, my post was composed with and should have had a blank line between the two sentences...

@Ms-Scarlett-Raven 🫶🏻, I’m hoping you didn’t miss addressed to you via comments to your story #5407718 my message 🙏.
