<p>Most people grew up hearing fairy tales and fables. They're such a part of our cultures that Cinderella has a two-part definition in the Oxford Dictionary, and if someone name-drops Robin Hood everyone instantly knows what they mean. These stories have been told and re-told for literally centuries. In some cases millenniums.</p> <p>So I'm gonna tell them again. Not to "update" them, or because I think I can improve them, but just because I can. Why not.</p> <p>And fair warning: the style of these retellings will be "ditzy catgirl with attention-span problems". I'm not taking these tales seriously, I'm just having fun.</p> <p>Most of these stories will be from HC Andersen, Grimm Bros, or Arabian Nights, because those are the ones I'm most familiar with. If anyone has a specific story they think needs more love, let me know and I'll try to include it!</p> <p>Back when these tales were first penned, "word count" was a foreign concept. So chapter length will probably vary wildly. Sorry.</p> <p>Participant in the Royal Road Writathon.</p>
