This idea for this challenge sprang out of a slightly bizarre email exchange between me and Doc Klein’s LabRat, who was beta-reading one of my stories. You don’t really want to know any more than that, trust me. <g>
The challenge was posted as follows:
“Write an adaptation of a fairy story, using L&C characters. Hans-El and Gret-El, Rumpelclarkskin, Cinderlois, whatever. Just think, Mindy would make an excellent wicked stepmother. Simple, but I think it should be good for a laugh.”
LabRat had urged me to write a series of fairy-tale stories, but I hoped that by making it a challenge we’d get more, and more varied, stories. And how true that proved to be! From LabRat’s own hilarious Loispunzel to Shayne’s WAFFy Ugly Duckling to Hazel’s clever crossover, H&G&L&C; from Marnie’s short and sweet Three Bears to the longer stories that are still in progress as I write; we’ve had stories in all shapes and sizes, and they’ve all made wonderful reading!
Many thanks to everyone who’s participated, and I hope the success of this challenge will lead to more fun challenges in the future. ;^)
