Modern Day Fairy Tale Chain

It was option 1 - and I vote for this option too.

I'd probably support this option too... hopefully people will be taken enough by that title to read the descriptor.

Yup. I vote Option 1

ps- Could we set a start date, if not a submit date? Say everyone has to have started thinking about it by: ... Then once everyone is getting thoughts together we could discuss further dates. I find it very easy to let things drift without firmish guidelines.
 
In terms of start date...

I'm crazy busy at the exact moment. However, I volunteered and work well with deadlines. So tell me when and one way or another I'll get it done.

But, summer would be a good option if I were to vote on it. I have two vacations weeks coming up and always bring my laptop along.

But I'm up for whatever... :D
 
Looks like, so far:

Title: Modern Fairy Tales Ch. 1
Description: Cinderella, from rags to riches

is winning...


as for a schedule... I'm thinking about beginning it in April... that work?
 
April is fine by me. I should have wrapped up the stuff i'm currently working on by then. :)

As a side note: Earth day contest finishes mid April and How To contest starts not long after - if that makes any difference to anybody.
 
Sorry I've been away all weekend. Got pretty busy. ;)

(And it seems I've been talked about when I wasn't in the room :p )

I always assumed the stories would be stand-alone as well. As for titling, I like the option Rach and Mil voted for.

April? I didn't think we'd wait that long, but I've no problem with it.
 
That's true, we've got one of those long breaks between contests between V-day and Earth day, right? Maybe we should make it late Feb...

(says the girl who hasn't even narrowed her fairy tale down yet... :x lol)

See what everyone else thinks - i'm easy :p
 
I've still got two and a bit stories to write for Red's Enchanted Twelve chain, so if the schedule is for late Feb I'd like to be wayyyy down the list ;)
 
I think if I can find the time I would like to do The Two Sisters. One sister drowns the other over a guy and a harper strings a harp with her hair and the harp sings the song of what happened to her at the sisters wedding.

Can I have a really pissed off ghost?
 
<Wave to everyone.> I am new here, but very ready.

I love Faerie Tales. This is right up my alley. I have never done anything like this, although the idea is a great one. The Romance genre has done this one again and again, why not transfer that success to a place that offers a bit more of the naughty faerie to it! I am really split between The Frog Prince and Sleeping Beauty. Sign me up for both, I can get to one right away, or anytime soon... the other may take a while. This is one of the story types I do. Always has been pretty easy for me to work with Faerie Tales. I think my first sexual fantasies were Faerie Tale based. Pretty pathetic and Geeky eh?

Well as soon as you have a schedule I am ready. I would prefer it be finished and submitted before the Survivor deadline this year so I don't have to stress over finding another chain to submit to, I have promised myself that if I am committing to survivor I will at least submit one story from each category. I think this will be one of the better Anthologies of stories there.

Why not? 'Over Her Dead Body' did...

Starting late Feb suits me... I can try and get one done for early March probably...

For short would you prefer Anne, AL, Larkin?
 
Okely Dokely... I've penciled out a schedule...

If you're one of those who have signed up for more than one with an and/or, I'll put you and your second story at the end of the schedule if you decide to write the second...

That date is ok with me. I already have a story concept and outline. :D
 
April 9?
*checks diary*

Two days before school holidays start - should be perfect.

Better get started on the research, I guess. :)
 
This will be fun. And if anyone has trouble finding research, I am currently taking a lit class on Fairy Tales. I have tons of research, even on obscure tales.
 
I was thinking... wouldn't it be fun to start every story with:

ONCE UPON A TIME...

? :cathappy:


I was just inspired by this pic I found on Flickr:

Little Red Riding Hood it is...!


(and sweetness... those legs... damn girl!!) :cattail:
