Fic Challenge - Fairy Princess Style
Stupid bunny. So, some people have already received emails about this, but here's a fic challenge, inspired by one line in Rise Above by Dystopcia.
Hallucinations from rotten apples in Mrs Kent's pie.
And bam, we get "Ooohh, kryptonite laced apples. The havoc it would wreak."
And suddenly I'm thinking Snow White. A fairy tale done Smallville style. Where the fairy princesses aren't so perfect (hell they might in fact be princes) and it's a lot harder to discern who the evil witch is.
So I dare anyone and everyone to come up with their own Smallville version of a fairy tale. Obscure or mainstream. You can be practically verbatim, or use a plot loosely and twist it to meet your characters' needs. Whatever works. Just have fun and screw with their heads.
And coincidentally, my Fairy Tale fic will be Snow White (since it is the one that inspired this madness). And oddly enough, the soundtrack I've mentally got going with it right now is "Die Another Day" by Madonna.
*nods* Twisted would be the appropriate term, correct?
Now to decide on who gets to be Snow White.
*pondering*

Of course my research consisted of hunting for various versions of Snow White and the exact lyrics to Die Another Day. But still. There was effort.
Damn. And this considering I really, really wanted to finish my Red fic. Oh well.
Hee. And you're my third person I've suckered in!

"There once was a king and queen who could have no children...."

I wanna do Tam Lin (Oh I forbid you, farmboys all, with brown and curling hair, to come or go by Luthor Hall, for Alexander lives there..) and The Snow Queen, which, technically, are the same story... But I'm also tempted by Little Red Cap as well, 'cause the early versions of it are so much mroe fun (in the first version, Red tricks the worlf into killing himself) than the one you get in the last 80 years or so (with the woodsman). Ooooh! And did you all know that in Sleeping Beauty originally she got raped while sleeping, and wakes up to her twins suckling at her breast, not a lover's kiss? Talk about yet Disneyfication there....
And then there's the part where I'm, you know, a freak.

God, I hope something better comes along. Maybe that once chinese fairy tale with the dumplings. That was always amusing.

and I thought the dumpling one was left field. :)
I swear we just need to download your brain into some sort of database. It's too packed with stuff to risk walking around with everyday for some brain snatcher to have a chance at.

Speaking of Chinese, how 'bout the Nightengale?

once again amazed at your fannish knowledge. but I remember plot a lot more than title, but then again if I remember anything for more than five seconds I count myself lucky. count me in the lower middle of the population on that one.

Grimm fairy tales were pretty grim in their original form. We've all be Disneized.

Hm... "Chloe in Smallville" just doesn't have the same ring. *laughs*

And I think I'm going to try the dumpling one first. Because, y'know "dumpling" is such a damn fun word to say. *g*

Coincidentally, I went and found the Grimm version of Snow White. And I'm seriously thinking of making it Lana.
Cause Snow saw a very pretty comb and got mesmerized cause it was shiny. I kid you not. I read it and thought "ooohh shiny!" How perfect is that for Lana?
(And check out my pretty new icon! Isn't he lovely? I'm so loving my Jayne icon.)

Re:
Hey, Lana's a racoon! Okay, so I get distracted by shiny things too. Whatever. *g*
I'm really having fun with this dumpling thing. Chloe, Martha, Lex and much silliness. We can do silly right? Going home to write it tonight after the episode.
