I know Red started a chain about a specific fairy tale...
But I'd like to start a "Fairy Tale" chain... the twist is, you have to MODERNIZE the fairy tale. It has to be set in today's time.
So Red Riding Hood lives in the da hood, and runs into a big bad "wolf"....
or Snow White runs away from home to get away from her evil stepmother and shacks up with seven strange guys...
I'm sure you can come up with something much more creative! The possibilities are endless. Anyone wanna?
Time wise it doesn't have to start now... we can wait a while to start if people have current projects to work on. I'm fine with putting the starting date off a month or two or three.
I just want to hear if there's an interest...
ETA:
Here are some ideas...
List of fairy tales.
List of fairy tale fantasies (for modern retellings.)
Here's just a common list... there are LOTS more...
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass
Beauty and the Beast
Cinderella
The Elves and the Shoemaker
The Emperor's New Clothes
The Frog Prince
The Gingerbread Man
Goldilocks and the Three Bears
Hansel and Gretel
Jack and the Beanstalk
The Little Mermaid
Little Red Riding Hood
Peter and the Wolf
Peter Pan
The Pied Piper of Hamelin
The Adventures of Pinocchio
The Princess and the Pea
Puss in Boots
Rapunzel
The Red Shoes
Rumpelstiltskin
Sleeping Beauty
The Snow Maiden
The Snow Queen
