Alright! Now that you've all signed up, let me tell you about the format of this!
—
Because 8 is a power of 2, we'll be doing 3 rounds of brackets.
For the first round, you'll go up against someone else, and I'll choose one of your stories from the matchup. 4 people will move on.
For the second round, the four people who moved on will be paired up, again, and again, I'll choose one of your stories from each matchup. 2 people will move on.
For the final round, the two finalists will compete against each other, but this time I won't be judging–anyone is free to vote (only if you competed, but if not enough people vote I'll open it up to anyone), and the winner will be the one with the most votes 😀 If there's a tie, I'll vote as well.

FOR THE FIRST ROUND:
The theme is: Drabble (a work of fiction exactly 100 words in length)
The topic is: Fractured Fairytale (will depend on your matchup).
PAIRINGS:
Silver Crystal vs. Emekittycon Kitten
In your drabble, you have to spin the story of The Princess and the Tin BoxRed Starlight vs. Jaybells
In your drabble, you have to spin the story of The Necklace of Princess FiorimondeMajestic Mary vs. Skip
In your drabble, you have to spin the story of The Well of the World's EndFeline Fantasy vs. Darkling
In your drabble, you have to spin the story of The Goose Girl—
These fairytales are sort of obscure, so feel free to google them to read! Also, note, you don't have to write the full fairytale, it can just be a scene, or your interpretation of it–it's a fractured fairytale, so anything goes really. These are due on the 17th 🙂 And don't feel bad if you lose, all of you are amazing at writing, and this is just for fun 😀 😀

I'm a little confused at what you mean by a "fractured fairytale . . . " Do we write original ones with the same name, or are ours based off of those fairytales? If so, do we rewrite part of it with it being the same, or do we change something?
Oh, and do compound words with a hyphen count as one word or two?

A fractured fairytale is a work that is based off of an original fairytale, but you give it your own twist. So yea, it's based off of those fairytales–but you can almost totally change the fairytale, as long as it's still recognizable. I had a friend write a fractured fairytale of red riding hood, where red riding hood was an illegal trader who also happened to be very good at lassoing octopuses. So you can deviate from the fairytale as far as you like!
Compound words that are hyphenated count as one word 🙂

I stand by the water fountain after school, trying to gulp back the water and tears. I should be at the MMA. Not Cathy.
Cathy was my friend. Apparently I’m “too bossy.”
She confronted one morning, telling me to secretly switch pictures for our school’s art contest (the theme: horses) or she’d tell my teachers I’d cheated on finals. (I didn't.) Her entry was an ugly nag, mine a beautiful magical horse.
Cathy’s won the contest, 200$, and a trip to the museum, leaving me to hang out after school, listening to the geese. My chest burns. I hate Cathy.

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.

Are y'áll going to write stories?

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.

Is this ever happening . . . ?
