Once upon a time, roz_mcclure did a Shakespeare Balloon Poll.

And once upon another time, I was born a vicious copycat.

So here we are.

roz_mcclure: [note: all science in this is shit. because it is a balloon poll, and therefore about the most important questions of human survival, like, "who would you push out first, the loyal sidekick or the dashing antagonist?" SO THE WAY YOU PLAY IS: you vote for whoever you would throw out of the balloon, not who you want to stay in. Every few days, whoever has the most votes gets pitched over the edge and a new poll is put up with the remaining cast. JUST LIKE IN REAL LIFE!]

I was totally thinking about who would win in a fight, Rapunzel or Snow White, and then I realized: THIS SHOULD BE A FAIRY TALES BALLOON POLL.

[Poll #1366231]

I am actually really excited to write hilarious, irreverent, wildly meta, smushy fairy tale fanfiction in smirking manner of Fables. PLZ, LET'S DO THIS! (And I promise not to make it all weird and lame with Snow White and the dude.)

P.S. Check it out, leiascully, you're my title quote again. ;)

Heh, I feel like I should get my entire Fairy Tales Seminar to come and vote on this. ;D

I love Shakespeare so much that I'm taking a lit class on his plays right now. :D

The comedies are my favourites. Of course, his tragedy is written almost the same way. He sets up expectations for the audience, mix in some misinformation, and either everything works out or EVERYONE DIES. The tragedy is too conniving on his part for me to like it. I feel empty inside every time I read a tragedy.

I like the King Henry plays, too. I think the best insults come from 1 Henry 4. "Peace, ye fat guts!"

And I'm sorry for saying "Peter Rabbit," but that's the first thing that came to mind.

ZOMG! I recently had a dream that was like "SNOW WHITE: THE STEP MOTHER IS THE REAL VICTIM, YO"-version.

Synopsis: Takes place in modern times and the StepMom is a hard working business woman who spent her life working her way up through the ranks of the company and is now CEO of a cosmetics empire and has had to deal with battling prejudices and the glass ceiling and MaryKay comparisons BUT her StepDaughter has partied all her life and wants to run the company just because she CAN and she's BORED and thinks she should get it because she has the PERFECT COMPLEXION. So she seduces her way around the Board of Directors and is v. close when Step Mom is like "screw this bullshit" and hires Dashing Man to squire her about the world, trying to distract her with other young rich people and get her interested in like, suntanning in Greece or Cuba or whatever but StepDaughter is having none of that and believes she DESERVES the position simply because she is YOUNG and being old is GROSS. StepMom is having none of this and when StepDaughter is close (Florida?) she is somehow injured and taken to the nearest medical facility WHICH IS ACTUALLY A NURSING/OLD FOLKS/RETIRMENT HOME. Seven geriatrics = seven dwarves and Male Nurse Who Lives With Parents Because of the Housing Crisis = Prince Charming. And StepDaughter lives ever after wiping drool off old people and it is left to the reader if she is happy and StepMom saves the company from debt because she is savvy like that, due to EXPERIENCE, bitches.


ALSO, SLEEPING BEAUTY IS TOTALLY COOL. AND THE MOVIE IS SO PRETTY.

I'm sorry, but did you say that Snow and Bigby are LAME? I can no longer be your friend, Nina.
