Today is (supposedly) Tell a Fairy Tale Day. So I thought we could take some fairy tales from around the world, mix them up, and turn things on their heads. Sound like fun? Let’s do it!
br>
As usual, our contest will begin with three things: character, setting, and genre.
br>
We spun, and our three elements are character: cat, setting: under the sea, and genre: romance. (Sorry!)
br>
Feel free to write a story using those or spin a new set of your own. Be sure to include which three elements you’re using.
