This sounds awesome. As I've never done anything like this, I'm a bit apprehensive, but determined. A quick question though: the list provided offers variants on similar legends as they are interpreted and retold over borders. Such include The Young Slave, The Sleeping Prince, Sleeping Beauty, The Glass Coffin etc. Since they're not all one story per se, and have separate elements to them, would it still be acceptable for one person to choose Sleeping Beauty and another to choose the Sleeping Prince?
I'm sketching out ideas for the Sleeping Prince... I was just wondering :)
I'll have to confer with my co-mod on this, but I think we'll take that kind of situation on a case-by-case basis. As long as you can persuade us that the legends have mutated enough to be considered different fairy tales, it shouldn't be a problem (I think for Sleeping Beauty vs. the Sleeping Prince, for example, you should be okay).
I need to find out what the original fairtytale for 'The Swan Princess' is called. Erh, would we be allowed to choose a cartoon y/n? I know it says movies, but I just wanted to be sure :3 Also, can we choose a movie even if someone else has claimed the original fairytale?
As long as you can trace the cartoon to a fairy tale, it's fine! In terms of claiming a movie-based fairy tale when someone has already claimed the original, I'm going to say for now that that's probably going to be a case-by-case scenario... but my guess would be probably not. (Is there an original fairy tale with a different for the Swan Princess? haha I always thought it was just "The Swan Princess" :D)
I think we could probably let it through; you're right in pointing out that it is traceable to fairy tales and pretty common fairy tale tropes -- go for it! :)
After you claim your prompt, you'll have until January 30th 2010 to submit whatever you create -- we wanted to give people (especially those involved in camelot_solstice enough time to work on their creations even through the busy holiday season. Posting will start in February, so theoretically you'll have time to do a few edits after that, but a finished product has to be submitted on the 30th. Hope you can make that time frame work for you!
Hi there! Since we're trying to avoid duplicates, you can only do something like that if you sign up as collaborators. If you and a friend want to work together on the same fairy tale to create both art and fic, you're more than welcome to, but if you sign up on your own to create something for a fairy tale, someone else can't come in after the fact and sign up to write for the same prompt.
