Challenge Time! Write an Original Fairy Tale

Hey guys! It's time for another challenge!

So I know a lot of you enjoy fairy tales and retellings, but instead of just doing a generic retelling, I thought it might be fun to do a challenge where we write our very OWN fairy tales.

Rules:

Write a story that feels like a fairy tale. I think the only hard and fast rule is that maybe it starts off with something like "Once upon a time" but really a fairy tale is anything you make of it and it certainly doesn't have to end with 'happily every after'. You write the fairy tale you want to. It can end with a happy couple, or it can end in tragedy, or it can just be gory like a Grimm story, it's really up to you.

You don't have to set it in a historical time period either. It can be set in modern day, or even your own fantasy world. Just give it a narrative style so it feels like a fairy tale.

Deadline:

May 4th

If you're new to the Bards and want to join in this challenge, please email me at sirwilliamssquire@gmail.com so I can add you to the list!

Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with this time! Happy Writing!
