Looks like Beauty and the Beast it is!
So, to recap, here is the challenge:
- You are to write your own version of Beauty and the Beast, starring the Backstreet Boys, which fits into your writing "niche." It should be the type of story you are known for writing - see the quote from Mare in my original post for examples.
- To add to the challenge, you will post your story anonymously on the site, and we will try to guess who wrote each tale, based on your writing style and the type of story you wrote. Mare has created an account that we can all use to post the stories. The username is "challenges," and the password is "acbsb." When your story is done, just log in to that account and post it. After the challenge is over and we're all done guessing, you can add yourself as a co-author if you want it to show up on your account.
- There is no word count limit for this challenge, but since fairy tales are traditionally short, it should be a one-shot, not a novel.
- The deadline to post your story is August 31. That gives you over a month to write it. After that, I will compile a list of all the challenge entries here, and we'll start playing the guessing game! Until then, don't post any guesses, and don't let us know when you've completed the challenge, or you might give it away.
Here is a link to the traditional version of Beauty and the Beast, if you want to read it for reference:
