"WHAT IF" FAIRY TALE MADNESS BLOGFEST!

First off, I want to say that the lovely Emily King has me as her Blogging Mentor today! If you want to hear me drone on about myself, go check it out here ;)

Next, I'll be hosting a "WHAT IF?" Blogfest with Leigh, Mark, and Cassie Mae:

WHAT IF?
Fairytale Madness BlogFest! 
         AUGUST 13th – 17th          

Have you noticed that by changing one detail; one event, one character trait, one thought...you can completely alter the rest of the story?

For this bloghop we are exploring "What If?"
Not only do we want it to be fun, but it will hopefully be a fun writing exercise and make for some great reading during the hop!

To enter:
Think of your favorite "well known" fairytale and ask "What If…!"
Then, pick one of these four categories: (be sure to mention which category you're joining, during your blog post!)

·       Best Plot Twist

·       Best Love Story

·       Best Tragedy

·       Best Comic Relief

Finally, write a scene(s) illustrating a new detail of the fabled fairy tale that changes our perspective.

To recap,

Is it a plot twist? (Cinderella gets knocked up by the Carriage Driver…)

An unknown romance that comes to light? (Snow White dumps the Prince for Grumpy…)

A tragic loss occurs? (The Three Little Pigs are too late to save their house…)

A little comic relief? (Hansel and Gretel win a trip on Euro Rail, sponsored in part by M&M’s…)

Whatever the change…It's limited only by your imagination – but please keep it PG-13 J

Other Rules:

·       Post your story during the week of August 13 to 17.

·       Flash Fiction – 300 WORD MAX. (You don't have to tell the whole story in three hundred words. Pick what works to illustrate your point.)
