If you've been poking around the blogosphere anytime in the last week, you've probably seen that something NEW has just started - something that you guys will love!
Judging by the title of this post, you say, perhaps it is a place for lovers of fairytales and fairytale-retellings?
Yes! The brilliant minds of Christine Smith, Arielle Bailey, and Faith White have put together just such a place - and I have the honor of getting to tell you about it! Care to pull a chair and listen for a mo'? ;)
Once Upon a Time two girls had a dream. A dream of a fairy
tale site, an internet library, if you will, for all the fairy tale lovers of
the land to gather and converse. To learn, to read, to fangirl/boy, to bask in
the goodness that is fairy tales.
As this dream blossomed, the two girls recruited a third.
Because, after all, all good fairy tales come in themes of three.
With the third member in place, the girls got to work. The
dream began to take shape, until it was no longer just a dream. But something
real.
Introducing ...
This newly launched site run by Arielle Bailey, Faith White,
and Christine Smith, is your source for all things fairy tales.
Every month
a single fairy tale will be featured, and posts will include:
● Reviews for retellings/shows/movies/etc.
● Essay, origin, and discussion posts on the featured fairytale
● Interviews with fairy tale retelling authors
● Galleries featuring fairy tale artists and artisans
● And a whole lot more!

It’s so EXCITING, isn’t it??? I’ve been visiting their site a TON and AAAAAHHHHH!!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it so gorgeous??? Fairytales!! Everywhere! I am in love! :D I can't wait to see what other stuff they do with the site!

ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU FOR STARTING THIS SITE, I TOO AM SO EXITED! ;D I'm so stoked to see what you guys do with it, Christine! <3
DeleteIt's so pretty and I'm so excited for what's to come! I just love the whole idea of it. :D
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure the last fairytale retelling I read was The Orphan's Wish by Melanie Dickerson!
theonesthatreallymatter.blogspot.com
It seriously is the best idea! So many of us LOVE fairytale/retellings, so it's legit the PERFECT site to start. And oooh, I think I've heard of The Orphan's Wish - is that her Aladdin retelling? Did you like it?
DeleteYes, it's the Aladdin one! And yes, I liked it very much. I think it's my favorite out of the last few she's written!

That's awesome, I'll have to pick it up from my library! Thanks for the recommendation! :D
Deleterandom fact: Fairy ring is also when a ring of mushrooms grows. In landscaping when a fairy ring grows, it is considered a lawn disease .
ReplyDeleteWell then, my lawn must be fairly diseased, because we get the coolest fairy rings in the summer time - I love them! XD
DeleteTHIS IS SO AWESOME. <3 <3 <3
ReplyDeleteI want to post about it, but I also want to just link to THIS post, Savannah, because it's so whimsical and fun. *heart eyes*
Some days I just really like the internet. =D
