Fairy Tales Contest: Promoting my story of medieval fairytales! (R4R)

Hi everyone! Happy New Year! :partying_face:

I’m entering the Fairy Tales Contest and was wondering if anyone would like to give my story a try. It’s inspired by the lais of Marie de France, a medieval French poetess from the 12th century. I think most people have never heard of her, which is why I chose to make her fairytales into episodes. I studied medieval literature in college, so I know Old French well enough to translate them. I’m a fan of historical accuracy, so I did my best to recreate these tales in their original settings.

If anyone is interested, see the link below. I’m also up for R4Rs, but make sure to follow the guidelines.

R4R Guidelines:

  1. I will read as many episodes as you read for mine.
  2. You must show me proof by PMing me screenshots (either in the forums or my Instagram) and I will do the same for you :heart:

Thank you! Here are my story details:
