I will enter this contest -- the rough draft I gave you, 'dettie, is to be disregarded. It wasnt, of course, meant for this, but just in case you got confused...
Its coming along nicely now I've done some revising. |

This is the draft of my entry, but it will probably be tidied up slightly by the time the deadline rolls around.
Hail Mary
And here's the original.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beauty_and_the_beast
The original was more of a springboard for the story, so mine's not exactly a retelling... I hope that's okay. |

It is very sad for me to ask you this the day before it's due, but...can we use a story we've heard? I heard a folk tale at the library when I was seven or eight; and it was the creepiest thing I'd ever heard prior and so I wrote down the bare bones and found them today.
Serendipity, or no? XD So- may I be excused the second part, of providing a link? |

*flails* ooer, sam, I dunno. I trust you really did hear this, but even so you would be entering unfairly. Everyone else had to give me proof.
So... I love you, but no =[
And on another note: judging might take a long while >_< I do have a few judges lying around, but I need to clear up who is actually judging and figure out how I am going to send around all the entires. Hopefully I'll finish judging before the 23rd of August [my first day of school] otherwise nothing will happen, haha.
When the competition does end, I will post a list of all the entries I have received, that way I don't somehow miss someone.
Best of luck! |

| This sounds fun. I think I will give it a go. I must ask--can it be a parody or are you looking for a more seroius work? |

Ooh, only have a few days, but I'm entering! *Putters off to look at book of Grimm's Fairy Tales*
~Luna~
PS: is it alright if I use a book, and provide you with the title of the book, the publisher, the name of the fairy tale and everything? In case I can't find it online? |

Sure ^_~ I can then try to at least find a brief description of the myth, and that'll do. It is at least proof that you are rehashing something!
I look forward to the entry. |

| Sweetness! That's what I'm doing with my entry (my Russian tutor loaned me a book of fairy tales-or rather loaned my family lol). Now to decide which one to do it on! |
