@catwing OH WOW! XD That is priceless!Yeysyeysyeysyesysyesyes! That is going in! Thanks so much! Not only is there now more of a story, there is humour, and I NEVER WRITE HUMOUR, well, at least none that isn’t sarcastic. Anyways, this will be interesting!

@catwing Weeeeeeeell, currently she doesn’t have either… I hadn’t gotten as far as that. She has a dragon and a talking zebra though! But it could be fascinating to give her a troop of fairy godparent who argue a whole heap until she just wants to thwack them over the head…

@emily Eh, don’t worry! That was really bad phrasing on my behalf!

@catwing Oooh, some more good ideas. So many of them… Thank you heaps! I definitely will use some of this. *nods* I could do a lot with that, particularly what you said for the ending. Thanks heaps!
@emily Wait, what? Nononononononononono. My cousin raves on about Hope’s books, and an OYANer’s. My cousin is NOT @Hope.

Yeah, @Hope‘s definitely the one to ask if you have fairytale questions. 😉

@emily Heheh, I totally forgot that @hope-ann was a KeePer. I thought she was an OYANer… Oops! This is what comes of having a blathering cousin who swaps between raving about OYANer’s books and KeePer’s ones!

Thanks @kate-flournoy. I can’t believe that I never considered a fairy tale to be the best place to have a plot twist. In fact… what if her pet dragon stole it… EEEEP! THANK YOU SO MUCH! -
Kate Flournoy replied to the topic Fairy Tale Retelling in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 8 years, 7 months ago
@jess-penrose this looks like a very solid idea. However, the one thing that’s sticking out to me is that you have no plot twists. There are no reveals— no changing of the scene or forcing existing scenes to be viewed in different lights.
One of the reasons for this is that Taryn has one goal to pursue throughout the entire story and it’s the…[Read more] -

I just realised I never tagged anyone, and am not sure who to tag, but I know two people who like fairy retellings and can see some people active.
If any of you (or anyone else) feels like helping please do!

I need help!
I’ve been writing a Cinderella retelling that is close to the story, including being set in a similar time. The problem is, I’ve just spent the last year writing a dystopian, action-filled, time travelling trilogy, and this is totally different.
I’ve written a total of two chapters, and can’t find a way to make it continue! I love…[Read more] -

@catwing THAT’S IT. I LOVE YOUR OPTIMISM. KEEP IT UP. DO NOT SUCCUMB TO THE DARK SIDE.
I may or may not actually have half a dozen scenarios worked up in my head about how his redemption arc could go… and how the moviemakers could ruin it. *scowls*
Optimism though. We must be optimistic. -

@emma-flournoy I’ve only ever seen TFA, but I want to see the rest. And I have had episodes 1-6 quoted to me by my brother. (every line, went for a whole day.) And the music. The music was played at the right times. So, I’ve heard the whole lot? (Excluding RO, so, I’ll stay out of that debate.)

Hold it right there @dragon-snapper! How dare you insult Kylo Ren, the most deep and epic villain of all of Star Wars! He is amazing.

@lifeofkatie well to be fair I never claimed to be sane. *raises eyebrows*

@salome01w4g I was being sarcastic, if that’s what you’re asking. 😛

@xonos-darkgrate @dragon-snapper *kicks back and grins* You guys are totally entitled to your opinions. Far be it from me to take that from you. By all means— miss out. That makes him all mine. *evil cackling*
