I know, but when it’s transferred onto people… it’s a sensitive subject in this day and age.

But like I said before, and I stand by it 100%…
People who are: “nerdy”, “wear braces” or “have pimples” are not ugly.
I personally have none of these but I have friends with braces and my cousin has a lot of pimples… but they are in no way ugly.

So some people may very well be offended by the message that is sending. It’s all stereotypes. But not factual.

Ooooooo! You should try and find a writing partner for it! I would volunteer but I have another idea. Jewish folktales are wild and amazing and definitely deserve to be part of this.

I honestly think ugly duckling would better as an adoptive story, like a black person growing up with white parents, because the big thing is that the duck was a swan,

have the ugly duckling go out for a journey to find their real parents, to realise, they already have loving parents.

I’m not quite sure what to do.

I did origally have the idea to do a modern-day version of hansel and gretel, but once I wrote and read the plotline, it seemed it a bit… meh.

Lots of people are doing a crossover of differnet tales, but I’m not sure which ones to do.

Could people PM me about their ideas please?

Thanks in advance!

Hmm… sounds contradictive to me “any cultural folk tale” - I understand that I can use Czech fairytale - which might not at all be known internationally - but if I will adapt our local fairytale than it will for episode teem not being from my county not be “identifiable character”

So it must include worldwide know characters as cinderella only?

For example one of the traditional fairytales is about a “fat boy” - a man and his wife couldn’t have children so he created a son from a piece of wood, but he was always hungry and eaten all even his parents and many other people…

Or we have specific fairytale character - man living in the water (water sprite) and drowning people -and taking their soles - based on this myth many czech fairytales exist now (making them more friendly - its a nice theme ad lot of local adaptation of this fairytale - but I doubt that it will be seen as internationally identifiable.

So I am really confused :see_no_evil: :see_no_evil: :see_no_evil:

Okay, well, if you do then let me know! I’d love to read it. You can DM me on IG with the title - @sopes.writes - if you want :slight_smile:

I kinda thought the same, I am not gonna make a story, but if I did I relly wanted to write one about Gorm den gammle, but no one would know who that is

also we have a story like that here in Denmark called åmanden
