Wordy Thursday with Wild Woman: Un-Fairy Tales

In 2011, Kerry created a prompt titled Un-Fairy Tales. I love the whole idea of rewriting those old tales and  thought you might enjoy it, too.  I asked her if it was okay to repeat it. She said yes. Yippee!

So, my toadally awesome friends, choose any fairy tale you wish and re-write it. Give it a better or worse ending, switch it up, make it current, or write a new one of your own. The prompt's wide open. Have fun!

    I hope to have time for this tomorrow... fairy tales are fun but I think I need to sleep on this one.

    I could spend a million years just with this prompt. I fell in love with rewritten fairy tales back in the 80's, when I discovered Tanith Lee's book RED AS BLOOD, TALES FROM THE SISTERS GRIMMER. I'm now a proud member of the Australian Fairy Tale Society, and have spent this year participating two workshops run by Carina Bissett that work with retold fairy tales and myths. So very delicious.

    Those workshops must be a blast, Helen. I loved your poem. I can see a book of them, wouldnt that be a fun read?
