《Rewind The Classics 2022》Prompt
Advertisement
Take a well-known story, be it a fairy tale, fable, myth, epic, legend, classic novel, play, ballet...anything that might be considered a 'classic story' and put an unexpected creative spin on it.
We accept stories from any cultural background, it just has to be something that most people would be familiar with and can recognize.
✪ Please such as Harry Potter.
"Classics are stories written over that stand the test of time as works of high literary merit and artistic qualities. Classics are universally appealing to readers and their themes endure and resonate in contemporary society. Classics are also traditionally accepted as influential in shaping culture."
We are looking for retellings that combine well-known characters and storylines with unexpected elements. Blow our minds with your creativity!
In this contest, we allow your imagination to run wild, so you aren't bound by a single prompt. However, we understand the difficulty in choosing a concept so we have come up with a few examples to illustrate what we mean by "unexpected." You're welcome to use any of these examples if one appeals to you or you can create a brand new idea.
✿ Elizabeth in Pride and Prejudice going to a ball in a... submarine
✿ Romeo fighting... zombies
✿ Pinocchio turning into... Jadis the White Witch
✿ Don Quixote falls in love with an... incredibly handsome Dracula boss
✿ Thor is born as... Kitsune
✿ Jack turning into a... giant after eating the magic beans

✿ If Belle... was the villain and Gaston and the Beast were the couple

If you would like to write a story by addressing diversity themes, you are free to do so!

The Love Hero Chronicles
Lets keep this simple shall we? Single witty and sarcastic man is now trapped in an alternate Earth based off a cringy eroge game. Worse yet he's stuck there as a supporting character with a horrendous backstory. Seeking way home or at least trying not to bite the dust as many non-protagonist male characters do. Will his real world thinking connect well to the tropey and cliché world of a harem game? Probably not.

Subversion
Subversion is a game with highly customizable settings that allow you to fine tune your character choices. It was state-of-the-art when it was released, won awards and everything. It's not a game for you to pick "random" and hope for the best. But, that's exactly what Miguel did when he started playing. And, of course, his characters came out a little...different. A pothead bombardier elf who cusses and engineers. A stubborn Chosen One who refuses to do anything but farm. And a world full of NPCs, bosses, and villains who act nothing like they should. Now Miguel is forced to adjust the situation in order to help his characters level up and defeat the Dark Lord. But, will they make it to the end of the game? And if they do somehow survive all the tricks, betrayals, and deception thrown their way, will the game be what anyone thought it was going to be? *** As of [13] Do a Barrel Roll! Ch. II, Subversion will no longer be uploaded on Royal Road. Please go to forestgreenwriting.com for more chapters.***
