Day 11 Theme - Fairy Tales and Fantasy

[cmk418]

Today's theme is fairy tales and fantasy.

Here are some ideas to get you started: Create a work around female characters in these genres, write an AU where a character in a drama, romance, comedy find themselves in a fairy tale or fantasy world, or explore a character's opinions on fairy tales or fantasy stories. You can also give a character a rich fantasy life or an opportunity to act on a particular fantasy of hers.

Just go wherever the Muse takes you. If this prompt doesn't speak to you, feel free to share something that does. You can post in a separate entry or as a comment to this post.

Want to get a jump start on tomorrow's theme? Check out the prompt list here. Please don't post until that day. If you are coming in later to the fest and want to post on the theme of a previous day, that's fine, just make sure to put which day that you are writing for in the subject line.

Reccer's Notes: This is such an empowering song and its message is put to superb use in the hands of this vidder. Even fandom-blind, the strength of Nynaeve comes through as does her determination and spirit.

Day 7 Best Friend/Sidekick: Maria DeLuca

[impala_chick]

Maria DeLuca from Roswell New Mexico is probably my favorite "best friend" character. I planned on making one icon for each season, but there's a bonus season 3 icon because I couldn't decide on my favorite image and that happens to be my favorite season.

1	2	3	4	5

Maria is a great support character for a lot of reasons. The best thing about her character is that she evolves into a main character with her own independent story line by season three. ( Some meta & major spoilers under here. )
