Crossing Over

Write a story where a character from a classic fairy tale ends up in a different fairy tale than their own.

This prompt encourages writers to examine the main tenets of different fairy tale genres. By dislodging a character from their familiar context and placing them in new fairy tale, several aspects arise for exploration. How does the character adapt to the new moral and social values of an unfamiliar world? How does the infusion of elements from two distinct fairytales impact the unfolding of the narrative? This creates a unique opportunity to explore character development and creative plot construction.
