"WHAT IF?" Fairy Tale Madness Blogfest :)

Aloha,

Knowing that Summer is a busy time for many folks, I wanted to give everyone a thumbs up... and a heads up!

Right in the heart of August, I'll be hosting a "WHAT IF?" Blogfest with Leigh, Morgan and Cassie Mae, (my sistahs from uddah muddahs.)

Introducing the...

WHAT IF? Fairytale Madness BlogFest!

(Runs August 13 - 17)          

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 (to be judged by):

· Best Plot Twist  (Cassie Mae)

· Best Love Story (Morgan)

· Best Tragedy (Leigh)

·         Best Comic Relief (Me)

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

For example...

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 Simple Rules:

·         Post your story anytime between August 13th to 17th.

·         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.)
