Fairy tales
Mar. 11th, 2016 09:11 pm I've been thinking of fairy tales lately. They are both fun to write and read. Mashups mostly like Beauty and the Beast + Bluebeard+ East of the Sun, West of the Moon + the Portrait of Dorian Grey (which I've got up until the East of the Moon trek). And Donkeyskin + Goldilocks + Snow White (I've been writing this summary since two (it's 9:30) and I'm getting close to the end), but I've come up with the best item for a fairy tale:
A mirror that shows you what you expect to see, not necessarily the truth. How would Beauty and the Beast be different if that mirror showed everyone happy. And what if the queen in Snow White was being manipulated? The mirror told her she was the most beautiful because that's what she expected, but as Snow White grew, she started to doubt herself and so the mirror reflected that. And interesting item if you know what you're looking at and are into interspersion. (Why do I expect everyone to be [feeling] when i'm not around? Or even a great place for porn if you expect the object of your affection is thinking about you.) But I can't think of any story to go with this item.
