  Thanks in advance for all the entries... well... supposing of course I get some. If not, I am talking to myself, and (shhh don't tell) I'm not that great of a conversationist... sigh... someone come save me.

  Hello

  This is a fabulous contest, I was just wondering before I submit, if dark was ok. I have one but its very dark, a lil morbid actually and its mostly based of alice in wonderland but it has a few others mixed in there as well. Anyway i just wanted to know if not then I think I'll write something new anyway because this sounds like a fabulous contest.

    Thank you very much Oh no dark would be fine as most every original fairy tale would be considered a tad 'dark' (for example, cutting off one's toes). Pleae feel free to submit it! Thanks too for asking!
