twisted fairy tales

ok, so we are all familar with the fairy tales about cinderella, snow white, sleeping beauty, and they all get their prince and a happy ending in the end. BLAH! dont get me wrong though. i LOVE those stories, but i just wanna see something different. that is why i am asking for stories about these all to familar fairy tales (any one of them, i dont give a hoot, just a fairy tale) and make the endings different, make them... sad, horrible, the works. i guess you could say, i am in the type of mood right now where i just dont wanna believe in cheesy happy endings. I FEAR LOVE!

rules (sorry, but there are a few)

-i dont care what category its in, but if adult or erotica, please label correctly... children may very well enter in this contest... lets keep straying eyes from straying... if that makes sense
-please be patient. sometimes i like to read stories a second or third time before i comment, to get the full meaning, the hidden meanings, because im a dork like that.
-im not like all the other judges that freak about spelling and grammer... so go with the mistakes... just not on purpose, i beg you.
-i am allowing prewrites and more than one entry per person.
-promote this to your friends... i want as many entries as possible... i am also handing out the original prizes and 20 honorable mentions... so chances are... everyone will get an award-if i get enough entries.
-and most important of all---------have fun


options
-like i said, choose a fairy tale, twist the happy ending to a not so happy ending
-lack inspiration... make your own fairy tale... but it still cannot have a happy ending
-you can message me for a prompt if you would like.



good luck guys and have lots of fun! i will try and add more points as i get them.

im going to hold it a week longer to see if i get the number of entries that i want... but so far, i LOVE everyone's!!! very good imaginations!

    Mine is a four parter, but you can just judge it off the first part if you want. It really gets twisted in the last three though.
