FIC CHALLENGE: The Veronica Mars Fairytale Challenge

I've never done one of these, but the idea popped into my head and I just thought it might be a lot of fun. Logan as Prince Charming; Veronica as Rapunzel; Keith as the Woodcutter ...

Banner by Shannon

Length: Minimum of 1,000 words (but longer is definitely welcome!)
Deadline: December 1, 2006

The Veronica Mars Fairytale Challenge

Here we go: Writers take any characters from Veronica Mars and plop them into a fairytale (either Grimm or Hans Christian Andersen), being sure to try and keep the VM characters as in character as possible.

Here's a link to a list of tales by:

Hans Christian Andersen

The Brothers Grimm

If anyone is interested just pick a story from the above list and sign up for it here. If I have enough participants, I'll set up a lj community for this challenge.

PARTICIPANTS

- bookjamprincess - Cinderella
- misa_05 - The Little Mermaid
- starry_laa - Snow White
- proteinscollide - The Snow Queen

Sounds interesting. I'd like to give it a whirl. I need a good challenge. I'd like to do Cinderella. Its an old classic and my favorite fairytale, no matter how cliche it sounds. Plus Veronica and Logan's story reminds me alot about it.

Wonderful!! I'll edit the first post and put you down for Cinderella. I'll include length and the deadline as well. :)

Hmmmm, put me down for The Little Mermaid.

Oh, and Jenn, are you going to make any banners or anything to help promote?

I can't make banners till I get back home (I'm on vacation now), but I've never done this before. Where would I put the banners?

For the banners I would just edit this entry with them. And then have all of the participants snag one. And maybe even put a banner over at Veronicamarsfic, lvfic, 09erdom, and other various VM communities that supply fic and just pimp the shit out of it.

It would be just like promoting a new community.

Or to make it all simpler, make a community.

Its up to you.

Would you give me the addresses of the other sites that I can post this at? I don't travel much outside of a few places in the VM fandom.

Should I do it now, or wait until I get home this weekend and do a banner?

You can wait until you get home. The deadline isn't for a while so you should have some time.

Quick question though.... do we modernize our story or is it like... Since I have The Little Mermaid, Veronica is a mermaid or can we take the trials and the story line and we modernize it?

You can do whatever you want with it. Modernize it, put it in the story, whatever. The only challenge is that you put VM characters IN the roles, but keep them as in character as possible.
