I JUST HAD AN AWESOME (I flatter myself) IDEA FOR A RE-TELLING OF BEAUTY AND THE BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Since this is my absolute favorite story/movie of all time (Disney), I've often wondered what it would be like to write my own version.
...I read one of the first (probably the most well-known) tellings of Beauty and the Beast and it's so aggravating - Belle is perfect, beautiful, and her sisters hate her. Ahhhhh. It's almost like reading *shudder* Elsie Dinsmore.
The original story of Beauty & the Beast is quite a bit different (backstory for the Beast, for one), so I'm going to see if I can find a copy and compare.
I wrote down a whole page of stuff, and looked up a bunch of re-tellings (there are dozens of course...some even link it to the tale of Cupid and Psyche!) and...now my brain is on fire.
...This might make an interesting NaNo project...
