Jenny's the one who'll set up the next challenge. It seems she's been quite busy lately, so she wanted to put it up once she has more time.

Yes, Lynn This challenge is to write some BDSM

Kidding



THANKS SO MUCH TO CarmenJessicaLP AND Jordyn1234567 FOR SENDING ME SOME CHALLENGE IDEAS!


Fan Fiction / Writing
Challenge # 7

Premise: Use a familiar children's story as the basis for a new story. It could be a fairy tale, fable, picture book, novel, etc. etc. Your story for the challenge may be fan fiction or original. Change up the children's story how you like, or use any part of it as the framework for your story, as long as it is still recognizable in your new piece. Of course, your characters may be adults, as long as the story is based on the familiar work; however, you may want to recreate your characters as children. That could be fun! Feel free to keep your story in the world of the characters (if it's fan fiction), or make it totally AU or OOC, as you like

Word Count: 500 - 1500 words

Rating: G rated (let's keep it appropriate for kids )

Due Date: Monday August 10th

Submissions: Submit your story in a PM to myself (follow the sun)

Note: When sending me your story, please include the name/author of the children's story that inspired you, as well as telling me if your story is Original or Fan Fiction (and if FF, then what fandom/pairing it is)



Thanks very much, everyone! Sorry for taking so long to get the next challenge up. Have fun, and I can't wait to read the new stories!!!


ETA: You may submit a story any time. We'll keep this challenge open for the time being

You can re-read anything from the Brothers Grimm

Don't be intimidated As long as it's inspired by a children's story of some kind, it's fine




the Brothers Grimm were German, weren't they, Lynn?

Yeah they were, but they were translated It's most of the fairy tales I grew up with, Cinderella is actually one of theirs. And I wanna write my Bachelor's thesis about part of it

I studied some of the BG stuff in a children's Lit course I took in university. I remember comparing a few fairy tales from the Grimm version and the French version (forget the writer) and how they changed over the translations. the Grimm ones were more violent or graphic, if I remember right

Sounds like a great topic to study

I'll open a thread about it and we can all discuss it there, and maybe get some inspiration from it

I just read a few of them again because of my plans for my thesis and they are great stories. But yes, they are a little violent
