I’d love to see it thrive, but a community needs people.

Heads up! Unfortunately, I’ll have to remove some people if they don’t make an appearance. I also plan to add some new people soon.

Who was most valiant – Robin Hood, Scarlet Pimpernel, Westly/The Man in Black, or, uh, Batman?

I find that the best ones usually take a classic–like Robin Hood, which seems to be a cultural favorite–and add one specific twist, and take it from there. It totally reimagines and reanimates the story in fun and interesting days.

I have also read the Melanie Dickerson books you are talking about, and I didn’t think they were that creative, although they never used magic so I didn’t think they stuck that close to the original stories either.

However, I do write…[Read more]

Hey, nice to meet you! And great topic, by the way. I’ve toyed with this idea for a long time, actually.

I started a retelling of Cinderella which was just a terrible hack-job where I made everything turn out wrong for Cinderella and she never actually married the Prince. I was really mean. 😛
