Stories

Every once in a while someone will say something that sparks the imagination. Since I have been here at GA that has happened to me a few times. I figured I would begin to gather them all in one place now and so will add to this as new stories are inspired by you.

Most of us have heard one version or another of Snow White. I decided I had wanted to give my own twist to the tale so I've rewritten it and told it all from Mir's point of view. Somethings are easy to spot, some are brand new, but all in all it is still just a fairy tale retold for your enjoyment.
