Today, I finished up a fractured fairy tale, this one based on Snow White and Rose Red. It’s been a while since I did one of these and I’m reminded of how much I enjoy them.
I’m busy with The Sunless World series, so I don’t have time for long side projects. However, I’m eager to stretch my creative muscles with drabbles and flashfic.
Here’s where you all come in. I need prompts, specifically a fairy tale (or fairy tale character) and a concrete noun to go with it. Something like Prince Charming/chimpanzee or Sleeping Beauty/disco ball. Weirdness is encouraged, because Snow White/mirror and Cinderella/shoe have been done already.
So. Have at it. I’ll post my short pieces in response to your prompts as I write them.
Red Riding Hood/boxes
Got a setting, got a beginning, just need to work on the twist!
All done! You can check it out here: http://www.rabiagale.com/2015/09/28/fairy-tale-prompt-to-grandmas-house/
Oh, how can I resist this?
Puss in Boots / Pinecones
My mind went blank when I read this, but a few hours later my muse timidly put forward the glimmer of an idea. I’ll nourish it and see what comes of it. ๐
I have a story! And here it is: http://www.rabiagale.com/2015/09/29/fairy-tale-prompt-a-sackful-of-treasure/
Hope you enjoy it!
