Good question! And I’m thrilled to echo @koshka and say ABSOLUTELY!

For example, Jessilyn Stewart Peaslee wrote retellings for both of those stories titles Ella and Finding Beauty in the Beast , both of which didn’t have magic. In fact, Ella is one of my favorite retellings of all time, and I’ve heard it as a recommendation for all t…[Read more]

@sarafini

Yes! There are many ways to retell a fairytale without manic. In fact, one of my favorite Cinderella retellings is based in a non-magical fantasy world. Fairytales aren’t about magic, even the slightly out there ones like Goose girl. Instead of using fairies or other magical people’s you can use real people. Stories told this way can…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Wow! I never realized that either. Are you planning to self publish? (I’m not sure yet)

@esther-c

Greetings and Salutations! *Throws back the hood of my cloak* I’m called Elishavet around here, and although I bumped into you on another post thing I decided I’d officially say hi.

“Hi!”

Okay, so I’m a young Christian lass that mostly writes a half allegorical form of realistic medieval fantasy, (perhaps called rustic fantasy in some…[Read more]

Stories swirled the air, stirring up memories I’d long locked away. I stared down at the hands folded in my lap, tracing the feel of each bony knuckle. The fingers were long and talon like but much too white for a bird. I closed them tight.

Those things…I’d seen them happen. Sometimes…[Read more]

“But…does talking about it really help? Can it…can it really help others?” The bright green eyes were a bit watery, and a sigh slipped into Jocelyn’s voice. “I’ve…I’ve just…always wondered why I guess. Why things happen…”

She drifted off as if she’d lost her place. Grimm reac…[Read more]

@esther-c

Ooo! I like those! Isn’t it amazing how well a moldboard/collage can express a character’s personality?

@godlyfantasy12 @koshka @freedomwriter76 @keilah-h @wilder-w

Sure!

Winton

So… The boy’s were back, and with them a brother he hadn’t met before.

Actually, he had met Dietrich before, but they’d never had a conversation together. Most of the time, the boy had passed him without a glance, as did his older brother. Still, Winton had worried…[Read more]

@freedomwriter76

I love this twist with Dietrich! It’s awesome!!

Also, I’d forgotten about Leon’s father. 😭

He needs to meet Reúven and Viktor. Like, they don’t talk about it, but then when they realize Leon just lost his father… I just want to see that.

That’s so horrible, I’m sorry to hear it 😞 And right before Christmas too :'( I’ll absolutely be praying for that family. Her grandfather seems like such a strong person, I hope he’ll be able to comfort the girl’s parents with that wisdom.

The story, I’d heard the like all her life. One child came in with a broken heart and left with a pain killer. What I hadn’t expected was the end. So I sit in mute silence as the impact of what was said flows over me.

The door flies open, shattering the peace of the room like glass. I…[Read more]

Yuck! Frida is a slimeball.

Winton

He hadn’t wished to have this well of an introduction to the kid’s aches, but then again, perhaps that wasn’t quite right.

He shook Joshua’s hand as the boys got ready to leave.

“Goodbye Dr. Winton. Thank you for doing this.” Joshua sighed and…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Awwwww, Paxton and Nyx….

*Wipes eyes*

*Takes a breath*

*Squishes them both in a group hug*

That’s why Liora called him “Cadet Elroi”. 😉 XD

@keilah-h

Reúven is in…. (*Does some research and decides to just take CAP and the National Gaurd and Army Reserves and blend them*) the National Civil Patrol. This is a lot like actual military service, bu it is really just a program for giving youth a taste of the military and building worthy citizens. (includes training and disaster…[Read more]

Wow, Arthur is such a mess. XD

Winton

Almost all the comfort in the air had disappeared the moment the raven haired girl stepped in. Her face was flaming in embarrassment and she was obviously with the friendly young man who’s stepped in before her, yet a form of darkness beyond her…[Read more]

Almarrin

Her…father? Rhaich! Teeth came together and grey eyes flashed, but he finished the sling with an even gentler hand.

Then he found a Janitor’s closet nearby and cleaned up the tile. The lass on the other hand–she was still huddled against the wall, eyes round in her white face, shivering. He frowned and pulled his jacket…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 @koshka @freedomwriter76 @keilah-h @wilder-w

I am now!

I really like the idea of RPs at home. In fact, I’ve had one brewing for Reúven all through the weekend.

Winton

A careful look around showed that everyone had finished eating. Winton stood and clapped his hands.

“All right! Who’s ready for something more active?” A mixed…[Read more]

Almarrin

A scream, distant yet clear, broke through their conversation. A young female, calling someone’s name in a voice that sent prickles up his neck. It was cut short. Almarrin glanced at Inglor’s startled face, then ran, footsteps echoing down the hall.

Which way? There were dozens of halls, and hundreds if not thousands of…[Read more]
