Fics: Funked-up Faery Tales
First, a little history. A couple of years ago, I was a long-time member of a women's group online, like an internet sorority. The section of this group I was involved it were writers, or aspriring writers, as the case may be. We kept a library of poetry, prose, etc., as well as publishing a bi-montly ezine, where I was the editor. There were several groups within the larger group, and each one had assigned duties that correlated with their talents: graphics designers, writers, etc, etc. There was also a small little subset called the Keepers of the Celestial Dust.
KCD membership was by application only; you had to keep up your regular duties, in your regular group (I was in Scribes), as well as performing KCD duties. Once in KCD, you took on a secret identity (think Secret Santa, that sort of thing), naming yourself as a faery or elf. We then spread cheer throughout the larger group, sending out birthday wishes, welcoming new members, encouraging those that were low, wishing good health to those that were ill and generally letting our members know that someone was thinking of them.
Cheesy sounding? Perhaps, but the sentiment was true. We had fun, with our imaginary personas, sprinkling faery dust over our fellow sisters.
A good friend of mine, who has sadly passed on, was in Scribes as well as KCD with me. Each year, we published an issue of our ezine dedicated to the KCD (and faery folk everywhere); we happened to be working on that issue and were going back and forth about faery tales. Not your traditional fare, but something a little funnier and more suited to adults; not smutty, but geared towards an adult sense of humor.
That resulted in the two stories I present here today. They are original stories, original characters.
You should start with Roomies
and then read Ruby and Ebenezer Do Christmas
Some light holiday reading for you, Happy Holidays!
