## History

### Early Development

Tales of Onceponia and Other Realms was originally planned to be a franchise called Once Upon A Time High. The franchise featured the same characters, but with different roles to what they will have now. It started development in Late 2014, after the creator of the franchise, Dylan R. Lawton, was in a school musical based off fairy tales. From there he developed a concept following the children of the Fairy Tales featured in the musical, with a few new additional characters added into the mix.

When the franchise was first created, it was planned to be five books and then the franchise would have been completed.

In Early 2015, Dylan realised that he had accidentally based Darkia Fairdark’s Original Version off a character from another story he wrote. This lead to the stories being based in the same Universe.

From Late 2015-Late 2016, Dylan R. Lawton redeveloped the story again and decided he wanted it as a Television Series instead. This lead to the story getting larger. After he had planned a Five-Season Series based off the books plans with slight changes in characters and locations.

During 2017, Dylan R. Lawton went into Grade Ten, so he took a break from developing the franchise to focus on his studies.

In Early 2018, Dylan R. Lawton reworked the franchise yet again back to a Book Franchise, but, this time under a new name, Once Upon Academy. The franchise went on hold later that year, so Dylan R. Lawton could work on new projects and the franchise was put on indefinite hold until Early 2020 when Covid Started.

In Late 2020/Early 2021, Once Upon Academy was retitled to Tales of Once Upon Academy and the story once again reworked. This version of the franchise is the most refined version Dylan R. Lawton created that lead to the Tales of Onceponia and Other Realms Franchise.

### Debut

From Early 2022-Early 2023, a book titled, Once Upon Academy was going to be released, but, before Part 1 was completed, Dylan R. Lawton, put the book on hold once again to develop a prequel novel about Darkia Fairdark. The story was later developed into what became Fairdarks and The Dragon Nursery.

On 18th November, 2023, Fademo-Kaiser Publishing announced the release date of Fairdarks and The Dragon Nursery as well as a surprise debut of the franchise with Fay and The Dream-A House of Fairdark Short Story.
