Just Prompts: Fairy Tales (9/26 -- 10/9)
What’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)

I don't know. Maybe it's just because I've been a dog owner for so long, but it seems to me that, sometimes, dogs don't get the respect cats do in these tales. Cats are depicted as so crafty and clever. I've known some pretty smart dogs in my time. Not to mention the wolves. . . .
