Okay I had to think of a dramatic title. Not my best, but oh well XD

---

This is the *dramatic pause* Story Showdown! I had an idea for a sort of writing competition, where you'll compete for absolutely no prize at all! Reply to the thread to sign up :D :D

Participants: any number :D

Format: A combination of brackets + elimination

The prize: The friends you made along the way (this is a joke)

I'm thinking that for a round, I'll assign a topic (ie. drabbles but with a twist), and then I can judge. And at the end, for the final round, I'll ask you guys to vote. How does that sound?

Alright. If this flops, shhhhhhh, you saw nothing XD

Fiormimonde walked around the witch’s cavern, awaiting her arrival. “young witch, what do you need?" "I don't want to be a witch anymore," said Fiormimonde. "I must marry, and my suitor will know I'm a witch."

 

The witch shook her head, and gave Fiormimonde the three options we all know of. Fiormimonde chose the necklace. But, as a witch, she could enchant whatever she wanted, so she decided to let her suitors go home in secret, never turning them into beads. She wasn't some evil princess, only a troubled girl. She turned herself into a bead in punishment for lying.

sorry about any spelling errors! I wasn't sure how to write a fractured fairytale, so I hope this is right.

They say that the Well of World's End is haunted, that whoever goes there returns different. They returned stranger. This story is no different.

The girl returned that day to her step-mother. She was quieter. The step-mother thought nothing of it. 

The step-mother heard the knock, but saw nothing. The girl was acting strange. Apparently she was talking to a frog? Well, she must follow through with her promises, right? 

The next morning there was a man in the girl's room. The evil man that the step-mother never wanted to see again. 

The devil was back and he was free.

Here's my story - not sure if it makes any sense but yeah :))

~~~~~

A woman named Jill loved a man and would do anything to marry him. She tricked the man’s wife into traveling to the Well of the Worlds End, from which no one returned. She never came back, and Jill married the man.

However, she hated Lou, the mans daughter, so she sent Lou to the well.

The girl returned the next day with a frog in hand. Enraged, Jill killed the frog. In its place stood Lou’s mother.  

When Lou’s mother went to the well, a witch had transformed her into a frog. Killing the frog made her human again.
