I'd also really like to see @AlwynFJH write a whole series of fairy tale retellings set in the world of Rebel of the Sands. Pre-trilogy, post-trilogy, short, long—just yes please. The magic, the culture, the potential, mmmmHMMM.

As part of Fairy Tale February, we’re going back and doing #storywishlists for some of our tales from our first year.

Today we’re revisiting #Rumpelstiltskin, our very first featured #fairytale!

[Fairy Tale Central @FairyTale_C]

We have a full #storywishlist up today for #TheWildSwans! Despite this #fairytale being rich in potential, there aren’t many retellings of it, so we're hoping to spark some plot bunnies for all you authors out there!

Come see our ideas! 👇

@WRGingell I thought the books had marginally better characterization and some better consistency but personally couldn’t stand the writing, all due respect to Ms. Quinn. Also still lots of sex, fair warning.

[A. Melody Bailey @ArielleMBailey]

@WRGingell Anthony’s character had some of the most inconsistent characterization and that’s saying something in that show.
Also, ouch.

[A. Melody Bailey @ArielleMBailey]

@WRGingell They were accidental and are, I suspect, the result of trying to get the guy to act the part of an overly protective older brother from the books as well as a stereotypically ‘historical horribly oppressive male’ the writers wanted.

[A. Melody Bailey @ArielleMBailey]

@WRGingell ....either that or you have been smelling some mighty odd things that have scrambled your sense of smell.

[A. Melody Bailey @ArielleMBailey]

@suzannahtweets I DON’T KNOW WHY, but not having one is ANNOYING. 😆

[A. Melody Bailey @ArielleMBailey]

@WRGingell Who’s the latest victim?

[Fairy Tale Central @FairyTale_C]

We have had such a fantastic time exploring Vasilisa the Beautiful this month.

Before we announce our next featured #fairytale, @ArielleMBailey is wrapping up the month with some new fairy tale retelling releases & fun news!

Check out all the goodness!👇

@rosamundhodge Excuse you. That was just RUDE. How dare. The audacity to put that image in my head. Wow. Such abominable. Much affront.

[A. Melody Bailey @ArielleMBailey]

@WRGingell Do they get buried again after the second stabbing?

[A. Melody Bailey @ArielleMBailey]

@rosamundhodge I have to confess to being in the same camp as @suzannahtweets - I already had it in my head as a given. Like: ‘I’m doing Driver as Hades’s /son/ and Rosamund is doing Driver AS Hades himself in a Hades/Persephone/what Kylo should have been’. 😆 Either way: GIVE ME.

@WriterJuneHur Jewel in the Palace and Signal were delicious! I started Ojakgyo Brothers and liked it (Joo Won!) but I’m not sure I ever finished it.
