allystoybarn I don't know how often I'll use this for personal posts, largely because nothing much happens in my life, but it's worth kicking it up and seeing what happens.
Today, I downloaded a metric fuckton of free fairy tale collections and adaptations to my Kindle. From absolutely every culture. So, the classic Brothers Grimm versions, Charles Perrault's, a book of Japanese tales, some Indian stories. Even a bit of Celtic lore, and some Arthurian legend on top of that.
I was a bit saddened by the fact that I couldn't get Hans Christian Andersen stories, but I don't like buying things on the Kindle without telling my dad first, as he foots the bill.
But, to the point. While I was supposed to be studying Virginia Woolf in my class on Modernism, I was instead reading fairy stories, and have started brainstorming some adaptations that I'd like to write. Maybe some of them will end up here, who knows!
