Familiar Characters Presented in a new Light

When people look at the blurb on the back of a book, curiosity will often get the better of them if there are names that they recognize. That is what happened to me in this case.

There's No Place Like Homecoming
Lacy Maran
182 pages

Personally I would classify this as a fan fiction. Why? Because of the large number of well known characters that she makes her own between the pages. They are not presented in their original formats, but there are a number of references to the classic stories that they are found in. On the most part, it's a light read, not really intended to be taken seriously.

The writing is good though, very very good.

Dorothy Gale, Peter Pan, and Cupid for starters if you need a teasing idea about who you can find between the pages.

There Once was a Huntsman...

I love love love love love love Fairy tales ^_^. Have I said that before? Hrmm... Well now you know that I do. Why does it matter you wanna know? Well, for one thing, there are a lot of different takes on fairy tales. there are many perspectives and presentations, all vying for our approval and readership.

This time I found a Gem. (Do I say that too much? hrmm... I like shiny things, I can't help it!)

This particular story looks at how people 'hunt' unicorns. Not only that, it contemplates the repercussions that the action can have.

The writing style is very charming, and it is reminiscent of older stories I have read. The writer also has a website where they are working on filling in various stories. I highly recommend that you check out this short story, and then delve right into their web serial.
