Fuck Yeah Fairy Tales: Archive

Not so much a question as a suggestion - not sure if it fits as a "submission" though. I produce audio dramas, and have several fairy tale-based ones, or rather two sets of stories - B&B Investigations, which is set in the world of fairy tales, but in a 40s film noir social setting, with Beauty & and the Beast as a detective agency ("Cry Wolf" and "The Naked Truth"); and an associated episode that jumps forward into the 70s for a Starsky & Hutch - oops, I mean Gretal & Hansel - classic cop show. They're in among my seris at 19nocturneboulevard.com

Hey, seems interesting, but the site seems to be down. Well, here’s the link to their facebook page, if anyone feels like checking it out: http://www.facebook.com/pages/19-Nocturne-Boulevard/133972033313361 Thanks for the suggestion!

“My cousin Helen, who is in her 90s now, was in the Warsaw ghetto during World War II. She and a bunch of the girls in the ghetto had to do sewing each day. And if you were found with a book, it was an automatic death penalty. She had gotten hold of a copy of ‘Gone With the Wind’, and she would take three or four hours out of her sleeping time each night to read. And then, during the hour or so when they were sewing the next day, she would tell them all the story. These girls were risking certain death for a story. And when she told me that story herself, it actually made what I do feel more important. Because giving people stories is not a luxury. It’s actually one of the things that you live and die for.” —
