Request 1 by lostinthefire
Alice In Wonderland - Lewis Carroll
Any Character

I'm so enchanted by the setting here. Wonderland fascinates me and you can pretty much do anything you'd like with it and I will be happy. Feel free to throw people in who haven't gone before, cross it over with other fairy tales, or do something else entirely. I'm up for anything.


Request 2 by lostinthefire
Schneeweisschen und Rosenrot | Snow-white and Rose-red (Fairy Tale)
Any Character

I just want fic where the three of them are together and, if not that, fic where the prince is first a bear and struggles to adjust and things that explore animals and identity and all sorts of stuff like that.


Request 3 by lostinthefire
Rotkäppchen | Little Red Riding Hood - Brothers Grimm
Any Character

Basically, I just love variations on this tale. Make the Huntsman an Huntswoman and maybe let LRR get inspired by her. Maybe before the wolf swallows the grandmother, she brings a knife with her and cuts her own way out of the wolf's belly. Maybe the little girl is clever and carries just a dab of poison in case something tries to eat her. I really just love playing around with the ways this can do and am excited to see what you come up with.


Request 4 by lostinthefire
Les Fées | Diamonds and Toads - Charles Perrault
Any Character

What I want out of this is the sisters dealing with their gift/curse. It had to be traumatic to have something like this happen to them, whether it's diamonds or toads that come from your mouth. I kind of want them reconnecting later in life, because no one else understands. The idea of sign language coming into play here is really interesting to me too but that's just oen thought I had.

Re. pinch hit #2, I was completely ditsy and forgot to add a link to a Dear Author letter in my sign up. In case the kind person who picked up the pinch hit reads this post - it's here! https://damzel.dreamwidth.org/1729.html
