Fairytales

she lives in a fairy tale, somewhere too far for us to find. forgotten the taste and smell of the world that she’s left behind.

Thinking about creating a collection of fairy tales that feature POC/LGBTQ* people and don’t paint women as weak/useless (a la sleeping beauty).

I got the idea when talking to a friend who was at a loss of stories to tell younger siblings/kids they babysit that aren’t super problematic.

I’ll do what I can to post some of my own stuff (be warned, my prose kinda sucks :-P) but submissions would be much appreciated.
