This is a thread intended to be for public story posting. We recently hosted a CAS contest based on simply creating a character from a fairy tale. The basic concept involved taking an already existing fairy tale and putting some new, unique twist on it. All that was required for entering this was a summary of the story twist and a head and body shot of the character. However, everyone who entered the contest fleshed out a story for their character. Since these were such great stories, and such a fantastic idea, I decided we should keep this idea going. Therefore, without further ado, welcome to...
Fractured Fairy Tales

Author: TheDoctor Story title: Goldilocks and the Three Bears Her name is Locks. Goldie Locks. She's been staking out the Bear homestead for a while. As soon as they leave, she breaks in. The lock was easy enough to pick. The simpletons left her a fully stocked fridge, but only had lame foods like porridge. However, it was the wall safe that she was really after. She tried standing one of the kitchen chairs to reach it, but it was too small. The next chair broke. However, the third chair got the job done and she quickly spun the dial (and was bewildered that they thought the combination 1-2-3 would stop anyone) and she had the savings bonds in hand. Next she just needed to find the key to the safe deposit box. She knew they had hidden that somewhere upstairs. Her intel said it was in one of the beds. She tried to check under the first mattress, but it was too soft to lift and move. The next mattress was difficult to move. One might say it was hard. The final mattress proved to be the right one. Key and bonds in hand, she walked out the door. Then she heard voices behind her ask, "Going somewhere?" CC used in this story: Goldie's hair and the animal ears. The dress worn by Goldie and the skirt worn by Baby Bear are store items (teen street couture, I believe). Everything else is from the game (and expansions).

Author: KaseOfHearts Story Title: Red Riding Hood This is the story of Red Riding Hood, where the roles are switched. The wolf is off to see his grandmother when a woman dressed in scarlet attempts to lead him astray. Ruby Hood: Tybalt Lune: Was CC used? Um, well. Let me put it this way. It would be easier for me to list the things that are NOT CC in this: Tybalt's outfit. Once upon a time, a young wolf left his home to see his elderly grandmother who lived a few miles down the road. "Now, you be careful, Tybalt Darling. And say hello to your grandmother for me." "Of course, Momma. Don't worry about me." The young wolf had been only a few footsteps from his grandmother's door when he met with an unexpected stranger. "Excuse me, young wolf. I believe I'm lost. Could you possibly help me find my way?" Being a chivalrous wolf, Tybalt agreed to help her. But perhaps, he was being a bit too kind. "You wouldn't happen to know of a place where we could relax, would you?" Ruby asked him, her eyes batting in his direction. "I think I know of a place," he said, bringing her past his grandmother's gate. It wasn't long before the sounds of footsteps on the wooden stairs woke up Tybalt's old granny. "Now, just what is the meaning of this?" Granny asked, getting out of her bed. "I'm going to need you to vacate, stat," Ruby said, tossing her hair. "And make me lunch before you go, would you?" She'd been searching for a place in the haunted woods for a while now, and this little hovel, while a bit of a fixer-upper, would do very nicely. "You've been such a good boy, Tybalt," she said, petting him. "I should certainly reward you." Soon, the scent of something delicious cooking in the kitchen made its way up to the bedroom. Ruby got out of bed in a hurry, not even bothering to fully dress. "Mmm, Granny. What's for lunch?" She asked, leaning in toward the pot in the center of the room to get a big whiff of whatever was boiling inside of it. "You, dear." And without warning, Tybalt scooped Ruby up from behind and dumped her into the bubbling pot. Moral of the Story: When you lie down with wolves, you get up as soup. The end.

Author: PeregrineTook Story Title: Even Sleeping Beauty's Only Skin Deep (or The Witch's Tale) I wasn't always like this. Alone. Hated. Once, I was an advisor to the royal family. King Jarard and Queen Latavia ruled judiciously over the land...until their health started failing. No one was quite certain what was happening, but the people took some comfort in knowing that Princess Aurora, so kind and so gentle, was next in line to rule. I was asked to help. While others were simply focusing on finding a cure, I put my full efforts into searching out the cause of their ailment. Finally, in the midst of a divination, I was repulsed as I learned the cause of their ill health... they were being poisoned... by the princess and her lover who was one of the king's guardsmen. Betrayal. She wanted the throne ahead of her time. I had to get to the palace. However, I was greeted at the door by the princess. "I know all about your scheme, princess," I told her. To her credit, she didn't deny anything. Instead, she called for the guards before turning back to me and saying, "But there's nothing you can do to stop me, little witch." "I beg to differ," I said as I pulled my wand. "Ooo, a sharp stick," she replied in a mocking tone. "I'd best be careful that I don't prick my finger." One quick sleeping spell later, I had taken care of my foe and was about to inform their majesties of the threat... when the guards came in answer to her calls, and found an incriminating image of me (wand in hand) standing over the unconscious form of the princess. Being verbally and physically accosted by the guards (including the princess' treacherous lover), I was dragged away before I could share my message with the king. I easily escaped the cell they put me in, but it was too late. Perhaps it was their grief in fearing their daughter would never awaken that was the final nail in the coffin of the king and queen. Regardless, they were already gone when my spell wore off, and the usurper awoke. The princess spread the lies about her lover awakening her with a kiss. Popular opinion shifted to thinking of me as a wicked fairy and some rubbish about the princess being gifted with grace, beauty, and sleep rather than death by good fairies permeated the simple-minded of the kingdom. A kingdom that was no longer safe for me. That was no longer the peaceful haven it had once been. A kingdom I was forced to flee. And since then, I have lived in refuge out in the woods. Alone. And hated. (CC usage--every dress in this story is CC and was downloaded from TSR)

Author: notjustabook Story Title: Cinderella (Really Friggin' Did Not Want to Go to That Stupid Ball) This is Ellen, known by her stepsisters and stepmother as Cinderella. Quite the pretty girl, and she looks so happy, right? Well, she isn't. I just forced her to smile and she's doing her darn best. Thing is, though, she hasn't had the best of days. She got up very early to do all the chores her relations made her do so that she could finish her books, and then it all began when her stepmother told her she couldn't go to the ball that the prince was holding to find a wife. "Oh no, what a tragedy," she said. The stepmother, not sensing her biting sarcasm, laughed evilly and said. "Yes, truly, you must be in agony, because one of my daughters will marry the handsome prince!" "Mm, yeah, sure, whatever. Have fun." Her stepsisters came into the kitchen next: "I have heard that mother won't let you go to the ball. What a shame!" the first said. "I'm sure that the prince will marry one, if not both, of us!" "Yeah, that's kind of illegal," Ellen said, hardly looking up from her book. "He will not be able to resist our charms!" the other stepsister said, and then they left, giggling menacingly because they thought she was jealous. She wasn't; she was annoyed because she had wasted precious minutes listening to their nonsense - she had a book to read! She finally finished it, but much later than she had expected. It didn't matter much, though, because it had been an amazing book. She happily went to sleep next to the fireplace, as she was wont to do, but then... "My poor, dear child!" She opened her eyes to stare at... a thing. A pink thing. "Um... hi?" she said. "My child, I am here to grant your wishes! I will help you get to the ball!" "WHAT?! No!" Ellen had no interest whatsoever in going to the ball. There was that book she needed to finish tomorrow... "My dear child, your wish will come true!" "Wh-what have you done?!" Ellen asked, but the fairy was already shoving her into a carriage and tearfully asking her to come back before midnight. "What if I want to come back right now?!" "Goodbye, my child! May all your wishes come true!" "Not bloody likely!! And where are my reading glasses?!" At the ball, the big oaf of a prince, of course, fell in love with her. Shallow guy. And he would hardly let her go, so all night she was absolutely utterly bored, dancing away. His conversational skills were about on par with that of an armadillo with leprosy. And that's being mean to the poor armadillo. She finally managed to sneak away from the prince when he went in search of a snack, and she hid. When a gentleman approached her, she shot him an angry glare and said: "If you ask me to dance, I will end you." "Oh god, no, that's not what I had in mind," he said. "I hate parties. I'm only here because my mother thought that I could grab one of the ladies that the prince doesn't want. Really, I had this book I'd rather read..." "Really?" Ellen beamed. "Yes! Hey, what do you say we ditch this party and go to the library?" "I think I'm in love." And Ellen proudly put on her nerdglasses once more (the fairy had hidden them in her pocket... sneaky fairy, who knew ball gowns had pockets!) and ran off with the cute nerd to find a library. And the prince? Well, the fairy godmother thought she might as well get herself some of that prince now that Ellen didn't want him, and honestly he could barely tie his own shoes, so he was happy with someone who could actually put together a coherent sentence. And they all lived happily ever after. Or something to that effect. The End! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've used plenty of CC dresses and hair in this, and the castle is from here (it feels right to credit it - and gush a bit about how amazingly gorgeous it looks, holy snapcracker it's awesome!)

Author: nangonebanan Story Title: Beauty & the Beast Meet Beauty
and here is the tale about how she met the beast.
Beauty and the Beast
One dark and snowy evening a young beautiful girl ran away from home. Her father didn't give in to her request for a third horse and she thought this was suitable punishment.
Once she ran far enough she decided to sit down and rest. All of a sudden everything went black! Beauty woke up hours later in a dungeon. She heard movement in the corner but it was too dark to see anything so she called out "Is anybody there?"
A man's voice responded "Yes, but I'm afraid to reveal myself to you. You're so beautiful and I'm ...not." The pair continued to talk through out the night. He comforted her and told her stories to keep her happy. She felt safe.
Beauty reassured him that he was a kind and good person and that it didn't matter what he looked like. So he revealed himself to her.
She was afraid at first. But her fears soon disappeared.
They continued to grow closer as they waited for something...anything...to happen.
After a few days Beauty became very hungry and weak. She was afraid she wouldn't make it through the night. Beauty had fallen in love with the beast and she needed to tell him before anything happened to her. She decided to show how she felt with a kiss.
Something very strange started to happen, Beauty could feel her body begin to change. Then the beast began to change as well. Beauty quickly realized that she had been tricked . She went to attack the beast but he disappeared before her eyes. He had teleported out of his dungeon home into the morning sun for the first time in a very long time.
The End

My apologies to nan. She has fantastic images in her tale which are not showing up here for some reason. Fear not, readers, I've called in hearts for help, so it should be remedied soon. Again, my apologies, nan.
