Exciting New Fairy Tale Stuff

Well! Exciting new stuff on the way!

Not only do I have my ‘Magic in Writing’ series coming back tomorrow but I am finally cleaning out my draft list of half-written posts, finishing up some new book reviews… and best of all…

Introducing my new serial for this blog that I have technically yet to give a name to. Though I’ll come up with something last-minute when the post goes live probably. Though I do have some stupid ideas for it that I won’t end up running with trying to pun things like ‘Once upon a time’ and ‘Happily Ever After’. We will see.

But if you haven’t guessed, yes the new serial will be dealing with fairy tales exclusively. In particular I will be taking ‘Once Upon a Time‘ cards, specifically the ending cards which are known as the ‘happily ever after’ cards, and using the endings as a basis to build the rest of a story that must end with that ending. I’ll be taking really crappy pictures of the cards and starting the story with those, so you will know the happily ever after at the beginning (even though many of the endings are not happy). The stories will be all mine, except the last line that will come from those cards, and there is also a possibility that if you commented on my blog a while back with ‘Once upon a time…’ and included a beginning to a fairy tale, I just might end up using it for the beginning of a story.

The fairy tales will be a nice stretch for me, and in total there will end up being 66 and I will be touching on a variety of topics and subjects that fairy tales didn’t originally deal with, and many still don’t yet. Regardless, I can’t wait to bring out a bunch of original and diverse fairy tales and who knows, if the project completes and is a lot of fun, I just might publish the stories together in one giant volume of diverse fairy tales.

The project will be massive, though not quite as big as my 366 project has been. Regardless that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t start it, so I can’t wait to actually get this first fairy tale up and even more to come. It may take me forever but I’m okay with that, just as long as I write.

Finally, in my last note I will be bringing a few more imps to my site, which will be my social media imps, as buttons Currently I am working on them, but they are turning out nicely and they can’t wait to be holding up all those social media signs permanently on my blog. (yes I am an Imp slaver, because who pays imps?).

Because of more imps hitting the blog, I also want to get some names up for my book reviewing imps, if you have any ideas, let me know. Otherwise they will get their names soon. Before they were always just, ‘red imp’ or ‘yellow imp’. They probably would hate me less if they had actual names… and actual pay…
