Listening to: "To Hell We Ride" - lostprophetsMy day started off really horrible, but then it turned out to be not so bad. I'm very grateful for my mythology class b/c we always have fun in there. Today, we read fairy tales that we wrote and talked about whether the Proppian analysis worked or not. That just made my day b/c everyone had some creative stories.
I was gonna do a parody, but then I got inspired by by the Firefly to create a futuristic setting (since most fairy tales seem to take place in the past). I'm still making fun of a lot of things that occur in fairy tales, like how the characters are either named Jack or something relating to their identity (Snow White, Cinderella...). Remarkably, I was able to follow the structure proposed by Propp up until the very end. It was fun to write b/c I used to relieve myself of stress and anti-heros are always fun. Everyone seemed to get a kick out of it too. Anyway, if you want to read it, here ya go: JacQ the Space Pirate: a Sci-fi Fairy Tale"
