Three hours until volleyball, which I may or may not go to. I want to, but I also want/need to write. *is procrastinating*
Thank you guys! 
Now it's time to read the mountains of books I've been ignoring and start researching for the next project. And also panic about betas liking this project.

Disney is part of what's messing me up right now. I need the original story, not the Disneyfied one!
ETA ...Sleeping Beauty. I know many variations of the story, but the one that keeps popping into my head is the Disney movie. I love that one--especially since Maleficent is my favorite Disney villain, but it's not what I need or want right now.

I'm no fairytale expert, but have you heard of Grimm's Fairytales? The tales in there are definitely undisneyfied. I'm not sure if they're the original original ones though.
It's definitely worth looking into though.

Oh, I've read plenty of the Brothers Grimm fairy tales. Also Charles Perrault and Hans Christain Andersen (who is one of my favorites). Unfortunately, Perrault's doesn't want to stick in my head. Disney's does. *sigh*
Sleeping Beauty? Sleeps for a hundred years, twelve fairies, thorns, youngest fairy finds the prince, as I remember it...
Grimm fairytales aren't exactly originals; they're sort of a collection of stories that had been passed on orally for centuries, I think. Some of the Grimm stories are actually French in origin, the stories were so widespread. But the Grimms and Perrault were some of the first people to write them down, I believe.
GRRR the HP avvies and sigs are confusing me! I'll get used to it I hope lol
Congrats on finishing Ky!
I haven't gotten around to writing the last 3K. But I'm more driven than I was the past couple of hours. And my incentive to finish CMRH is going home lol. Because I sorta swore to myself that I wouldn't leave the Student Center on campus until I finish it.
Now I must write!
