Hello! I'm Aya :) I've always wanted to create a fairy tale retelling besides reading them, and now I finally got the nerve to write one. Although I've published a few stories, there's so much I need to improve and I'd like to enlist help--especially people who love retellings--to make the book as best it can be. I'm asking for feedback on plot, characters, etc.
Anyway, here's a description of my story:
To-do list: *Persuade the prince give the ball *Learn how to behave like a Victorian lady *Find fairy godmother *Prevent other stepsister from sinking her claws into Prince Charming *Find out why Cinderella has a mother and two brothers in the poorhouse
When Kat accidentally rips apart an old childhood picture book, she's magically transported into the world of Cinderella--as Katriona, one of the ugly stepsisters! Life turns upside down now that she’s a highborn lady and must learn how to survive the social season, including how to get through the door in a huge metal hoop skirt. To get back, she'll have to complete the story, right to the end of happily ever after. But the odds are huge: the other stepsister is drop-dead gorgeous, the fairy godmother is nowhere to be found, and the prince, despite being insanely hot, openly dislikes balls. Can she ever return to the modern world?
If you're interested, please PM me or refer to my blog, http://www.ayaling.com/blog/seekking-..., which has further details. Any questions, feel free to ask me.
