There's the stepmother, the mirror, the seven dwarfs, the glass coffin...<br /><br />Personally, I'd love to see a Mediterranean-themed Snow White. One of my favorite Snow White cartoons is told with Native Americans, so it doesn't have to be set in Medieval Germany.Kendra E.

She'll be glad to know she's not the only one. <br /><br />So far the only idea I've had is one in which the poisoned apple is metaphorical, not a literal apple, and shows up at the very beginning of the story. But that story is also, for the most part, a very sunny and brightly-coloured Mediterranean-feeling story, which I'm not sure works too well with Snow White --- I've always thought of it as being a bit like chocolate cheesecake, dark and rich and to be savoured slowly, the type for a /grand/ sort of retelling. So I'd like to enter, but I'll have to play with ideas a bit more, and see if I can come up with a more obvious similarity to the original. A poisoned apple that's not really a poisoned apple isn't much of a connexion, on its own. <br /><br />https://ofdreamsandswords.wordpress.comSophia Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10393680730064003675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618645909538172709.post-90808944839089532632017-06-01T18:37:17.666-05:002017-06-01T18:37:17.666-05:00Weeeeeeeellllllll.... they both have dwarf(s) in t...Weeeeeeeellllllll.... they both have dwarf(s) in them, but that's about it. Seriously, though, I can name four stories /off the top of my head/ that use this combination. But if you go to the original German, the two girls don't even have the same name. <br /><br />Oh, and did I mention that my story is a bit of a power struggle between Blanche and her stepmother for the throne? It's going to be awesome.Kendra E.

The two stories are nothing alike! <i>Erkszkg--sputzzplk</i>--I'm sorry, I just--can't even--blew my mind a little. <br /><br />I LOVE the drawers/Portals idea! Way to put a fresh new spin on an old story. LoveLoveLOVE!<br />(Gah, OK, my brain is in Ditz Mode today. But seriously, Seven Drawers is brilliant! I would totally read that. :-D) I'm casting my vote for <i>The Eighth Realm</i> for the title, myself. So mysterious and intriguing....<br /><br />Happy writing, and best wishes with the contest!<br /><br /><3<br />~R~TomWildRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12914330705701940882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618645909538172709.post-78895791821276097392017-06-01T10:06:28.334-05:002017-06-01T10:06:28.334-05:00That's awesome XD I can't wait to see what...That's awesome XD I can't wait to see what your story looks like :) <br />Good luck!<br />faith@thompsonhome.netR.F.
