apple_pathwaysSo, I have signed up for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
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.)

Thumbelina: She's tiny. It's not easy being tiny, I should know.
The unnamed princess: PRINCESS LEIA!!! Best. Princess. Ever.
I do not like Ariel -- she's 16, she wants to run away with a guy she glimpsed from afar, and she disobeys her parents. Now that I'm a mother -- pfft! She's the worst influence ever.
The new Rapunzel though is pretty cool.
