Honestly, I love the background / history of the story better than the modern understanding of the story Little Red Riding Hood.

I want to share why I love this story so much and maybe by understanding what makes me excited by it, you'll find something that resonates. I guess I've always liked the notion that Red is just as scary/crafty as the wolf ( Read more... )

I couldn't find a master post for your TW reverse bang artwork so I bounced over here to see because I love the piece so much, I really wanted to let you know. There's fantastic artwork in the challenge but your piece was one of the ones that took my breath away, and that I kept coming back to and it was awesome to find this analysis of the Red Riding Hood story, plus a poem by one of my favorite poets.

Also, thanks for the recs and I wondered if you'd seen this?

Okay, I came to your lj on a completely unrelated topic and what do I find... an AMAZING essay on my favourite fairytale ( ... )

Did you know that lj response posts can only be so long? I didn't, until I tried to post my response and I told it was TOO LONG! *grrr*

To continue... I'm a writer myself and have always wanted to write a Red Riding Hood story. I have some aspects of how I want to do it worked out, but not others. My main inspiration for the version I'm sketching out came from a picture on Diviant Art that I thought you might like:

I had that as my wallpaper on my computer for AGES. *g*

While trying to find the URL for the picture above, I came across one I hadn't seen before. It's not great art, but the image is interestingly evocative of what you were saying about the Huntsman's role as social expectations. Especially when you read the caption.

*HUG* You're awesome. Thank you for contacting me. I'm usually over at AO3 lately it didn't see this until now. Unfortunately, I'm really groggy right now so'm not sure if this will make any sense, haha ( ... )
