We need more votes for chick-lit! Where are the chicks of the Forum? :D
pfffffffttt, fairyales are a tool for expressing large social, moral and ethical dilemmas and situations through a means that makes them more accessible to a larger portion of the population, they are often dark and bring up a lot of right and wrong issues. A fantastic example of which is some of the non disneyfied non grimmified versions of cinderella such as Donkey skin or the coat of many colours, or indeed The little mermaid, or ghe medieval ( was it Renissance? Id have to look it up ) version of sleeping beauty?Quote:

More young adultish ones like Beauty and Spindles end by Robin McKinley. The elemental series by Mercedes lackey ( The serpent's Shadow is the best adaptation of snow white I have ever come across - well truthfully its one of the few I have come across but thats mainly because people just don't appreciated it enough.) And the list keep growing and growing with authours like Patricia a Mackillip, Patricia C. wrede and loads of others whose names escape me just at this second.
:rolleyes:
war stories are always the same ... people go to war people die everyone is sad ... and so it goes ...plus I thought we were supposed to be doing something different?
