Just Prompts: Fairy Tales (9/26 -- 10/9)
Oct. 3rd, 2008 10:56 pmWhat’s your favorite Fairy Tale? Why?
Anyone who knows me knows I take a very dim view of faeries and the like these days. They’re NOT how they’re portrayed in most of these stories. If a Fae takes a liking to you, what you want to do is run.Not that it’ll help. . . .
Of course, given that I’m stuck in an alternate reality, perhaps I’m being unfair. Anyone want to give me examples of more pleasant, Disney-like Fae?
(And if you must know, as a child I was fond of “Sleeping Beauty.” I always wondered if someone could really sleep a hundred years without aging.Makes me wonder now if some Fae tried it)
