A Fairy Tale for the 21st Century Part 2

Incongruous humour is what floats my boat and I wanted to enjoy this. However, for me, there were far too many characters for a short story and it was too frenetically paced to allow it to develop in the reader's mind. Modern life certainly needs satirising but I think the satire here was only skin deep. If it had concentrated on just one main character and storyline, then I think it would have had more legs.

I have satirised modern life, or a least some of its obsesessions, by parodying two fairy stories. To do so I have taken the well known characters and story lines and put them in a contemporary setting. Those characters and storylines need to be there for it to work. I haven't set out to write some deep meaningful tome, just to have a bit of fun.

Hello! Your writing made me think about something: what if readers could not only read your story but also experience its characters and important moments through illustrations? I'm Eve, a freelance comic, manga, and webtoon artist. I also work on character designs and cover art. I'm currently open to paid collaborations with authors who would like to explore visual adaptations of their stories. It doesn't have to start with a complete comic. We could even begin with a character illustration or a single scene. Would you be interested in trying something like that?
