See, retelling fairy tales (and similar stories) isn't the same as doing a retelling of a full out novel. But... *shrug* I'm not going to say any more on that. Personally, I'm not big on Cinderella retellings, unless they've got one heck of an original spin on them. I've read/watched/heard way too many. Ella Enchanted (the book *NOT* the movie) and Princess of Glass are my two favorite (Cinderella) retellings. Told from the prince could be interesting, though.

Actually, the prince one wasn't Cinderella. It was Sleeping Beauty. Sorry. :/ I don't know how people would feel about it though, seeing as only the end would be familiar.

Well that is how Ella Enchanted is - the book, not the movie.

"You are a mouse."
"You people have no imagination!"

And people wonder why Reepicheep is so popular.

ETA: Your favourite songs at the moment, please guys!

ETA: Would you like a jelly baby?

Thalia · Jun 1, 2011

What I'm writing is a Celtic little mermaid story where everybody's evil and everybody dies. Well, no, two characters survive.

lisalulu09 · Jun 1, 2011

I want some jelly babies.

....I just realized.... The fourth Doctor (...right? Tom Baker was four?) is also Puddleglum..... *picks jaw up off the floor*

lisalulu09 · Jun 1, 2011

Which Puddlglum? The TV show one?

And yes, Tom was number four. He seems rather adorable. ^^

Bookgirl2021 · Jun 1, 2011

Yeah, the BBC one. I grew up watching those.

ETA I think I'm going to go take a nap for a bit.

lisalulu09 · Jun 1, 2011

Oooh. I used to have a video of the first one.

ETA: I'm going to go to bed now. 'Night, guys.

Ooh, ah, marvels like we're watching fireworks.

Obviously I missed a lot not getting in David Tennant! *Shakes head*

I was told by Sage last week, when I asked what the longest thread ever here on AW was - that there was another AW before this (and I have seen posts here dating back to 2005-06), and that that one was the original forum... so yeah, ask/PM Sage. She knows *Grins*

Thalia · Jun 1, 2011

It just occurred to me, cash-- why do you always reply to the post instead of the thread? I'm curious.

Kyrie · Jun 1, 2011

... it just occurred to me that I will be at work when the next new Doctor Who episode is on (technically last week's).

... time to find some DW online. :tongue

Wait.... what?

Thalia · Jun 1, 2011

Your posts are always intended weirdly... or maybe that's just my screen. It misbehaves.

parumpdragon · Jun 1, 2011

Has no idea what is weird about your posts. They have all looked the same as everyone else's to me.
