Last week’s challenge: The Who, The Where, The Uh-Oh<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Pick a fairy tale.<\/p>\n

Go on, do it.<\/p>\n

I’ll wait.<\/p>\n

If you don’t know your fairy tales — Google is your friend, of course.<\/p>\n

Hell, here’s a pretty good list of the Grimm’s tales<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

I want you to pick one — I’ll let you do that — and rewrite it.<\/p>\n

Except, wait now, hold on.<\/p>\n

I want you to also roll to choose a random subgenre. You will then apply\u00a0said random subgenre<\/em> to the fairy tale you have picked for maximum awesome. Get it? Got it? Rad.<\/p>\n

You have 1000 words.<\/p>\n

You have one week — due Friday, January 31st, noon, EST.<\/p>\n

Write it at your online space. Link back here.<\/p>\n

Do tell us which fairy tale you’re using by making it the title of your story.<\/p>\n
