Round Up: Week Nineteen

Last Week’s Prompt:

Pick a fairy tale and rewrite it by changing one key plot point. What would happen if Sleeping Beauty never fell asleep? What if Beauty never fell in love with the Beast? You get to answer these questions for us.

The prompt came to me while I was in the middle of watching Princess and the Frog for the second or third time in a single day, so I thought “Hmm. Frog Prince.” My first thought for a twist was what if the frog only thought he was a prince, but he was really just a frog. Then I thought of something even better: what if he was never even a frog and he only thought he was? Somehow, it didn’t work out quite so fairytale-esque as our frog prince hoped.

I had a hard time deciding what to do for this prompt. I’ve been kinda swamped by school and most of my thinking is put towards writing appropriate lesson plans for second graders.  But as I thought about it I kept coming back to Snow White.  It’s truly a classic.  Then I thought of the twist, what if the dwarfs were giants instead.  So naturally my brain jumped to Jack and the Beanstalk and a mashup was born. The prince in this story had never really thrilled me, and Jack seemed like he was in the need for someone good in his life.  Also who is dumb enough to stay in the kingdom an Evil Queen is hunting you in.  No, my Snow White is much smarter than that.  The Queen never found her and she truly did live happily ever after.

I love fairy tales. I love them so much. They’re full of magic and happy endings. And on top of that, they’re filled with complete morons. Seriously. “We love each other, so I have to run away.” Gurl, take a chance already. How much worse could your life get? I mean, honestly. You sleep in dirt. So my inspiration was Cinderella making a good choice instead of running off and forcing her soulmate to try to find his solemate.
