Fairy Tales or me being a huge lit geek and yet pathetic

[pixelmayhem]

I should be doing my chemistry homework that is due tomorrow morning. See Icon. In fact I plan on passing out 5 minutes from now and waking early to get it done.

Contemplating prompt #5. Have a zillion ideas. And finally we're at a word count I can do easily. I've cut so much out of all my other admissions it's not even funny. I feel like my other admissions have been so crap because they feel cut off. I thought about re-inserting some of it for prompt #4 when I posted it here. I cut out about another 1000 words. I'm too verbose. :C

I need to bash out my ideas for #5 but first I'm trying to remember what fairy tales have been done already for kirk/mccoy.

Of course there's selinamoonfire 's fabulous Big Bang Beauty and the Beast story A Kind of Magic but what other ones am I forgetting. I think there was a version of The Ice Queen? But I still have it on my to-read/view list and so an unsure if I have that right. I've seen quite a few "Sleeping Beauty" type stories, but was there one that specifically claimed it was the fairy tale version? And What other's have I missed??? Help me out here flist.

If you know any other fairy tale K/Mc stories lets me know what fairy tale it was. There was that Sailor moon story. Any greek/olympic god connections? Anything farther out into mythology? Norse? Meso-american (holy-shit that would be cool...ideas bloom). African mythology? Chinese? Japanese?

Annnnd now I have a million questions I need to ask the mods about what fairy tales are acceptable. Because my personal library...has a 9 foot bookshelf dedicated to children's stories, and fairy tales, and mythology. (specifically regarding mythology....I could have so much fun playing with that.....*DIES*)

Uh, I did a K/Mc fairytale where Jim was Jack Frost, which had an Ice Queen. :D

I really wanna do a Arabian Nights fairy tale so, so bad. But I might end up doing art pieces. I'm not sure but I am SO EXCITED for this prompt. Omg, it's the best.

Thanks bb! I swear it's on my to-read list. I'm still catching up from November.

Yay Arabian Nights. I was contemplating ideas all over the place. I'm excited about the prompt too!

The Beauty and the Beast AU I've read twice and love so that's a fairytale I have to stay away from. There's been at least 2 merman AUs, I also remember an Ice Queen story...for space_wrapped, maybe? Any of the Jim or Bones get trapped in their own minds and need Spock to do a mindmeld as Bones or Jim go in to get them back could be Sleeping Beauty or Snow White but I'm going to go with the rule that if they don't outright claim it's based on the fairytale, than it doesn't count. Because then we could say the Pretty Woman based AU was Cinderella and fairytales have just ingrained into so many plots that it could arguably be any story. :P

I'm torn between two right now... One's a fairytale, the other's a Roman myth. But then the Roman myth inspired Beauty and the Beast, so IDK what I'm gonna do.

I totally forgot about the Merman ones. Thanks! Yeah, I consider the trapper in their minds ones a type of cinderella, but not claimed. But I was unsure if anyone had officially claimed cinderella or sleeping beauty.

Oh I know, my main picks are two greek myths, midas, and the light princess. I'm so confused and so excited.

I'm trying to think if a fairy tale that will be plausible with McSpirk. It's difficult to say the least. Does it have to be a specific fairy tale, or can it just be fairy tale-esque, or do you know?

And no, of course I don't have a boatload of homework to finish. Not at all! :P

The Three Musketeers? As far as I can tell (by asking around) it can be fairy tale-esque.

Homework ignorers unite!

I think they could have been a bit more forthcoming with what can and cannot be used. Can I write my own fairy tale. Should I use an exzcisting one and just rewrite it? So many questions. But it's defintely an exciting prompt.

[pixelmayhem.livejournal.com]

I agree. I hope the new post on prompt 5 helped out with that some. I had the same questions.

I am so psyched! I can't wait to write and to read.

THERE'S A GREAT CHINESE ONE.

I'm gonna have to dig around, but it's a pretty tale!

[pixelmayhem.livejournal.com]

REALLY! That's so awesome! I look forward to you finding it. :D

OBSERVE MY GLORIOUS ICON, WHICH IS TOTALLY RELATED TO THIS TOPIC!

Now I need a little crown so I can make a WTF Prince Leonard icon.

I want to browse through your fairy tale shelf so bad, I can't even tell you. As a kid I used to read Grimm's fairy tales and Edgar Allan Poe when I was in the mood for a scary story, which was almost always, but I haven't reread for years. Maybe now's the time.

[pixelmayhem.livejournal.com]

Oh I wish I could let you bb! Oscar Wilde. Kipling. Poe. Grimm's. New collections as well. Norse, Greek, Indian, Egyptian, and Meso-American mythology. *pets collection*

OMG, where is the Sailor Moon one? Jim as Serena and Bones as Tuxedo Mask?!?

[pixelmayhem.livejournal.com]

Oh I wish it was Uber Sailor Moon. Nah this one is a dash of Persephone and the Underworld. Where Jim is a sort of Sailor Pluto character. It's HERE (http://stardate64783.livejournal.com/20427.html)

Damn, now I really want to read the crew as Sailor Scouts!

I'll have to check out your link.
