Drabble Cycle Round 6 ~ Fairy Tales

[sheepfairy]

Hello! Sorry about the delay, I've been having some access troubles, but everything should be back to schedule now. Anyway, the results are in from the poll, and it looks like Fairy Tales is our winner this time around!



So for this round we'll be writing thirty drabbles, each based on a different story, which are:

1. Beauty and the Beast
2. The Red Shoes
3. The Nutcracker
4. Cinderella
5. The Steadfast Tin Soldier
6. The Golden Goose
7. The Little Match Girl
8. Goldilocks and the Three Bears
9. The Six Swans
10. Rumpelstiltskin
11. The Frog Prince
12. The Nightingale
13. Hansel and Gretel
14. Snow White and Rose Red
15. The Firebird
16. Puss in Boots
17. Little Red Riding Hood
18. The Pied Piper of Hamelin
19. East of the Sun and West of the Moon
20. The Ugly Duckling
21. Sleeping Beauty
22. Pinocchio
23. Thumbelina
24. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
25. Bluebeard
26. Rapunzel
27. The Raven
28. The Little Mermaid
29. The Snow Queen
30. The Twelve Dancing Princesses

If you're unfamiliar with any of them, don't worry, there are wiki links in the table! Or you can just drum up something based on the title, we're not very stringent on how you chose to use the prompt.

TABLE:

You don't have to use the table, but if you're the sort of person who likes them (like me!), we have one thanks to the lovely calebar77!

RULES:
on the drabbles themselves:
- To finish the challenge you will have to write 30 drabbles, one for each of the fairytales listed.
- The topics may be interpreted as literally or as loosely as you'd like.
- You can post your drabbles in any order and at any time prior to the deadline of December 30, 2011.
- Your drabbles must follow general community rules - femslash, no more than 250 words, etc.
- Please tag all your entries in this challenge with the tag "fairy tales".
- You'll index the stories yourself - you can either use a table or just list the prompts out. You can make the index post either to the community or to your own journal, and then you'll add stories to it as you complete them. Comment to this post when you've finished the table and I'll add you to the list of people who've finished.
- You are allowed to cross-post your drabbles to other communities and journals (in accordance with their rules, obviously). Just remember to post a link to them to our comm at some point - you can either post as you're doing them or wait and post your whole table when you're done.

on making claims:
- For this challenge each participant is going to claim a single unique subject. This can be a pairing, a character, a fandom, a genre, etc (and for this challenge, picking a genre to write original fiction in is allowable). And if somebody claims a character you can still use that character in a pairing, or if someone has claimed your fandom you can still pick a character from within that fandom.
- Since original fiction is kind of a particular thing, and generally not allowed on the comm outside this particular challenge, I've decided to let up to three people claim it. In addition, you can also claim a specific genre of original fiction, for example "original fiction - fantasy".
- You can make a second (and a third and etc.) claim, but only after you've finished the first one.
- You can continue to make claims right up until the deadline.
- If you didn't finish your claim from an earlier drabble cycle that doesn't preclude you from making a claim in this one.
