Why, yes, mermaidrain, I'm looking at you.

CatsCurious Press is looking for 5,000-10,000 word retold fairy tales. The catch is that the entire thing must be in the protagonist's POV--and it has to be funny.

And then, Jim C. Hines will take that story, and write a counterpoint to it.

Not only that, but the winner gets paid pro rates. And you have ages and ages to write it; they're not taking subs until January, and will continue to take them through the end of March.

Oooh! This is awesome! I'm going to pass on the info in my LJ if you don't mind. Can I quote you verbatim?

[agilebrit.livejournal.com]

You certainly may. :)

Thanks! Makes it SO much easier for me 'cause I'm lazy like that. ;)

Ooh, sweet. I might have to look into that too, considering how many "Ooh, I want to retell this!" ideas I've had. 'Course lots of them aren't fairy tales (like, one thing I'm working on started as a sci-fi retelling of Oliver Twist, and last year--although I haven't written it yet--I decided I wanted to retell The Nutcracker), but I'm sure I could think of something.

I'm definitely going to be mulling it over myself over the next couple of months. :)

There are a few people on my flist who would love to know this. Can I link to this post?

[agilebrit.livejournal.com]

Certainly. :)

oooohhhh! Thanks! Now to think of one that I can make funny. *cracks knuckles*

Hee! I knew you'd be all over this one. :)
