Yes it's Christmas Eve and yes I'm posting to my lj late on said day almost on Christmas Day. I can't help it. I'm awake and writing because the infernal plot bunnies decided that watching Ella Enchanted was an excuse to be evil and give me ideas.

Now for those that haven't seen Ella Enchanted it's a lovely bit of schmaltz about a girl given the gift of obedience and the trouble this causes in a sort of Cinderellaesque story.

Anyway I then started to think about wishes and well things got out of hand in my brain after that as I considered gifts and abilities that don't quite work out as planned. So my brain took a nice fluffy fairytale idea and turned it as dark as the original things tend to get...

If I finish it I will mention it. If you feel like reading it I will take note and send it on when I am done.

I love dark fairy tales. It's how they started originally and have only been fluffed and lightened for today's culture. Please write!

I have a beginning, an ending and am currently writing the middle. I also seem to have a main character who has some rather random asides in his observations that are making my writing fun if sometimes interesting :P

I shall endeavour to finish this one soon though.
