What I think is interesting about this version of Cinderella is she seems to spend a bit of time with the Prince. In other words, she gets to see him in other contexts, presumably there is some conversation. She must get to know him at least a little bit. It's not love-at-first-sight fairy tale (ha!) stuff. It's more substantial than that.

Anyway, it's up to you people. I'm too tired to have any ideas. I was up until stupid o'clock posting stuff. I can barely think straight. :D

I noticed that too. The Prince and Cinderella here aren't just sweet and romantic, they're mischievous and with character. They're so beautiful.
And I noticed that there is no Fairy Godmother in the story.
I read that this film is traditionally shown before New Year's Eve in several countries. A lot of people here love it too. I remember watching it as a child. The Prince won me over))))

I am so glad we are sitting this 1 out @zinniabooklover see what we have done ? we have created our own path of mad destruction already -, so much so we are too bloody knackered to join in :ROFLMAO: i might occasionally shout ideas at the thread LOL but im bloody done in
Literally woke up hearing "Protocoligorically Correct" !
 
Thank you so much @zinniabooklover for summing up the posts concerning the Cinderella story writing! :D

There is so much going on in this thread plus in my head (as is normal lol o_O) that I dunno anymore. My gutt feeling says:

Since all of us who want to participate in the story thread have such different backgrounds (which is awesome!), I feel like just improvising a story. Someone starts and everyone goes along. Everyone could join in even at a later point.

OMG I cannot handle the pressure :ROFLMAO:

Whereas I'm still singing 'Tommy Gun' interspersed with Jordan screeching 'Lou' at the top of her lungs.

Good combination, lol.

I've missed so much, there's just no way to respond to every post. So it'll all be in one.
I really like the idea of writing a fairy tale story together. Creating a fairy tale is a very powerful process. I'm in. I'm having a hard time visualizing exactly how to bring it to life. I wonder if men would get involved too))))))
Should I be Cinderella? I like the idea, but I don't insist. If someone really wants to take on that role, I don't mind. Does it have to be specifically one of us though?
Interestingly enough, I was born in 1979, just like my Cinderella)))))
And it could be a beautiful love story. That's so important! I watched Sweet Charity. And I especially like two things about it. The shot where Charity screams "Someone loves me! " And the line "Without love, life is meaningless." And Michael had a line with a similar meaning.
I hope I'm not too late with this post and the idea of a collective fairy tale is still alive.

Would you like to start the story @hope ? That would be great!

This is a good suggestion. Let's keep it loose and free. Let's not put pressure on ourselves. No-one is trying to get published. We're not even trying to entertain anyone else on the board / thread. It's just for us, if we feel like joining in. Which right now I don't bc I'm super tired but let's see how it goes. We all know the basic story and some of us have seen a few alternative versions of the story. Plus, there is so much scope for bringing in different ideas.

Let's be kind to ourselves and just have some fun!

💘Noted. But are you getting any inspriation ? :ROFLMAO:

I like stairs. I realized that I was attracted to stairs. )))) It can be so symbolic
And the horse is so mesmerizing. I've decided to buy something similar and admire it.

Something so never ending about stairs ..I get that. You could have a never ending sort of stair way or something
I love the horse too. Michael had a green jade type horse statue in Oprah i'd shout whenever the camera zoomed in to it on the tiny table - "there's the green jade horse ! must buy a green jade horse !" It was always known to me as 'the green jade horse ' not sure if it was or not.

I like that library although I'd want to ditch the top two shelves - far too high, books should be easy to access at all times. But good inspiration, I would think. For anyone who isn't knackered, lol.

This is what wendi does, lol. Tbf, I have a tendency to do it, also, but not as much as wend. She is the ninja! You just have to roll with it, lol. She is unstoppable.

My brain wants to do the same, actually, posting, quoting, writing down ideas, but the rest of my body can´t coordinate this quickly or my brain will get stuck :cautious: :ROFLMAO:

I still can't find my Piranesi image with all the staircases going in different directions. It's really annoying, it's a really well-known piece and usually comes up whenever I look him up. It's sort of like those Escher staircases (was he inspired by Piranesi?) but much better.
 
hope said:
Is this the cover of our story? )))
Click to expand...
It would be a good one to use bc there is no illustration. So more scope to go wherever we want to with the story. Illustrations are fab and are needed but, for the cover, maybe specific pictures would be too suggestive?
