Weekly challenge: write a minimum 1000 word short story/scene in which you turn a fairy tale on its head.You poor people. Your quests often stem from what I've been listening to/reading/watching or what I want to do myself. Feel free to let your creativity run wild! Any fairy tales are fair game, whether they're popular or not.

Surprise challenge: Submit three entries to the writing contest at the birthday party Friday-Saturday. I won't tell you now what the contest is, but I can reassure you that it won't be hard to submit three entries.

As always...



If this is your first time on one of these quests, you'll need to see the initiation pamphlet.

Also, I would like to remind everyone that any weekly challenge pieces that are posted on the forum will be eligible to be featured in our newsletter. Please post a link in this thread if you would like it to be considered.

If you could write your sign-up post in a similar format to the following, it would be appreciated:

Katharina: You can go ahead and write them and just not submit them. I'll still give you the points.

Blayne: Would examples help? I could rewrite Beauty and the Beast, but the Beast wouldn't return to human form at the end. Or I could write Cinderella from the point of view of a stepsister (who isn't bad after all). Or I could rewrite Sleeping Beauty so that the prince that kisses her is the grandson of a prince she hated before her nap. I'm using common fairy tales as examples, but you can use any fairy tale. Does that help?

Thanks, Zoe!

I will add the surprise challenge.

Personal goal: Write 500 words.

Oh! That sounds like a fun challenge. I'll just add the surprise and the weekly challenge to my first post.

*just realized a good example*

So it's like Tangled?

My personal goal is done, just to say.

Personal and Weekly Goals finished.

I haven't seen Tangled, so I can't say for sure. I think so, though.

Personal goal finished.

Surprise challenge finished. I hope it is alright, but I decided to post my Hemingways over on the contest thread as examples to the contest authors.

Surprise challenged finished. I hope. Now for the weekly challenge... *really likes the WC*

Surprise challenge finished.

*wipes sweaty head*
