'Twas a Dark and Stormy night...

[apple_pathways]

So, I have signed up for dark_fest, and here are the prompts I'm going to write:

Any fairy tale, Prince Charming/any, all those tales where Prince Charming rescues the princess? All different pincesses; all the same prince.

The Hunger Games, Katniss/Peeta, Katniss refuses to have kids, Peeta really, really, wants one.

This is what I need your help with:

If you've read The Hunger Games, do you think they'd have birth control? What sort?

As for the first prompt, a POLL:

[Poll #1675870]

Basically: campaign for your favorite princesses. I'm wondering which ones I should include. If you can make a case for why a non-traditional fairy tale princess should be included, I am all ears.

Also: I'm thinking of writing the fairy tale fic in verse. Is that a bad idea? :/


(Pardon me a moment while I pitch a fit. FLIPPING SNOW STORM! I was going to see the Decemberists tomorrow night, and now I'm not. The show has been POSTPONED. For when, you say? FOR WHEN? April 22nd. THE DAY I AM SEEING THE PIXIES. Mother F'er.)

I chose two from above and forgot to check the last box...whoops. My 3rd choice is Giselle from Enchanted. I'm a dork and love that film with it's non-traditional take on a princess.

I totally just read that on their facebook page, I'm so sorry. Every time they come to Colorado they get altitude sickness and have to stop playing halfway through/cancel the concert because they can't breathe. However, there was one time where just Colin performed in Boulder and we dared him to drink Jager on stage...not the best idea, but it was hilarious.

I just can't believe that the ONE CONFIRMED DATE that I have plans in the next THREE MONTHS is the one that the concert is re-scheduled for! :(

I haven't seen Enchanted. (I know, I know: I should!) I just don't see that many movies!

I keep thinking that my list is too short, and there's some classic fairy tale princess I'm missing, but for the life of me I can't think of which one(s)...
