  • @ericawordsmith Ahh!!!! I’m in love with this idea. I’ve always loved the story of Esther. And I love that Celtic type setting. So it would be fantasy?

    Yeah, you definitely need to write this.

    Something to consider (which is probably really hard to actually carry out) is not making it obvious. I don’t really want it to be the kind of allegory that everyone knows right off the bat. Weave elements from the story of Esther in, but don’t make everything identical.

    I think one thing well-done retellings (or allegories) do, is show the story in a light that we’ve never seen before. I want to see a new side to the story of Esther, or it to have  a different feel to it.

    Does  that make sense? Yeah, I don’t really have a ton experience in this area, but I definitely think you should write it!

    Ahh! You’re making me want to write it now. XD. I’ve always wanted to write a HF on Esther, but then I realized that HF isn’t my genre. This is an amazing idea, and I can’t believe I hadn’t thought of this before.

    Yeah, go for it. 😉
