prompt me: the fairy tale edition

prompt me: the fairy tale edition

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.

      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. ๐Ÿ™‚
