And you know what this means right?  excited-gif

Yep, new Challenge for this month.  And as I hinted, (And the Kittyinaz’s Group on Facebook actually watched as the banner came together) this one is not the normal prompt.

Here is the banner:

Participation Banner for 063015g

We are doing Fairy Tales.  At least I am putting it all under that heading.  I know it is all Disney ones on the banner, but Annie Leibovitz’s Disney pictures series inspired me with the pic of Cinderella.  I have been wanting to do this challenge since I saw the pic, but I kept putting it off.  The response I received from the Angels Through the Fire series, made me think that I can offer this one up to you guys.

So what is the idea behind this?  It can either be a fairy tale, or it can be based on one, or it could reference it.  Yep.  Wide open.  My thoughts were True Blood cast in the Little Red Riding Hood. or have the Originals in the Beauty and the Beast.  Vampire Diaries cast as Snow White.  And just pretty any much story using Once Upon a Time qualifies as long as you don’t make it Real Life.  I don’t care if you pull a Maleficent story out of this, making the bad guy understood or even good.  It’s the idea I want to use.  And you are open to any fandom I write in, or will be writing in.  (For instance Charmed is ok, since it is written and in the beta’s hands)

To help you out, I did a search on Fairy Tales and found Wikipedia’s list.  Now, this doesn’t include American Versions, but I do count them.  I grew up with Johnny Appleseed, so you can use it as much as Goldilocks. If you have any questions, please ask Rissa (Charissa Horton in the group.)


The rules are as follows:

  • Must use prompt(s).
  • Use fandoms I write it. (It can be one from a story upcoming also. Just ask if you don’t know, you can ask Rissa if you don’t want me to know!)
  • No letting anyone knowing which story is yours. This alone will be grounds for immediate withdrawal of your entry.  If you have questions, please ask Rissa, she is your contact for any contests.
  • If you submit, you can grab the Banner for Participating for the month. You will also receive a banner for the story you submit.
  • If explicit, you need to warn people in the title.
  • All entries must be received by kittyinazwritingchallenges@gmail.com by Midnight CST at the end of the last day of the month.

To submit, you can send it to the Kittyinazsbetas@gmail.com or to the Writing Contest email, KittyinazWritingChallenges@gmail.com.

Just a reminder, this is open to ANYONE.  It is completely Anonymous.  Rissa is the one who receives the emails, she strips out anything that would tell me who is what, and forwards on the entries to me.  I read them, make the banners and so forth, putting them in WordPress.  4Padfoot then goes in and makes the Poll, that she only can access.  When the contest is finished, Rissa sends me the names of the authors.  4Padfoot sends me the results, and I am the one who puts who is who, and whom places.

No one knows who is what until the end, and even then, it is only me after the polls close.  We do this to allow everyone an equal chance to enter the contest.  Your stories will be judged by the readers as is, with no idea who wrote what.  We have had brand new authors win over authors that are favorites.  And I am proud to say, there are ladies who have entered and since then, gone on to start writing.  You guys are the reason why I do this.

Good luck, and I look forward to not only reading these, but also to making the banners…Making this banner was a blast today!
