wow this is a great contest! Its an awesome idea.

Thank you, Im glad you like the idea. I look forward to reading your entry, I hope?

I love the idea here, and it made me chuckle slightly. Mainly because most of the original fairy tales had horrible twists to them.

Thats kind of the point to this contest. The original Brothers Grimm tales were very morose and macabre, until companies like Disney got ahold of them and dumbed them down. I want to see something similar to the original here, only in a shorter form, of course.
