	B. What you need to know if you want to be an editor? Well, first off, you need to at least know the bare bones of grammar. If you don't know what a preposition or an article is, get lost. If you just looked it up on google, this isn't for you. If writing about utterly gory, scary, dark, dreary things that destroy all good things about these fairy-tales from your childhood isn't your cup of tea, get out. I want this to be as gruesome as possible whilst maintaining a certain macabre, artistic appeal. That means that you need to be able to depict things in powerful imagery without redundancy. You should also have a gargantuan (Well, ok, maybe just above-average) vocabulary... basically, instead of saying 'red' five times in a row, change it up a bit. Use 'crimson' and other synonyms. Use a thesaurus if you must, but don't over-use adjectives.		B. What you need to know if you want to be an editor? Well, first off, you need to at least know the bare bones of grammar.

Twisted Tails AN intro

New page

Author's Notes: Introduction

Hello there. I'm guessing you're ready and raring to go and read this CYOA, but before you begin, I'm going to clarify a) what this is about and b) what you need to know if you want to be an editor.
Also, if you don't want all previous fairy-tale, happy ending ideas of your childhood favorites ruined, smashed, raped, and beaten, then it'd be best if you left.
If you've gotten the idea already and don't want to read about anything else, just skip down to the link to the next page.

A. This CYOA is going to be based on an assortment different fairy tales, but they are going to be the ORIGINAL versions, with all the dark, twisted things that go with them, some of which can be exaggerated and added onto. For instance, in Beauty and the Beast? No talking dishes here. We're talking thousands undead souls bound into servitude with a contracts book by Lucrezia, the former ruler, summoned to do work with different bells, and talked to in the Scrying room with mirrors. Cinderella? Don't get me started. Red Riding Hood? There is no lumberjack.
Getting the picture? Good! I hope you enjoy. These fairy tales may not have an original dark version, in which case it's up to the editors to 'darken' them up as they are added to the CYOA.

B. What you need to know if you want to be an editor? Well, first off, you need to at least know the bare bones of grammar. If you don't know what a preposition or an article is, get lost. If you just looked it up on google, this isn't for you. If writing about utterly gory, scary, dark, dreary things that destroy all good things about these fairy-tales from your childhood isn't your cup of tea, get out. I want this to be as gruesome as possible whilst maintaining a certain macabre, artistic appeal. That means that you need to be able to depict things in powerful imagery without redundancy. You should also have a gargantuan (Well, ok, maybe just above-average) vocabulary... basically, instead of saying 'red' five times in a row, change it up a bit. Use 'crimson' and other synonyms. Use a thesaurus if you must, but don't over-use adjectives.
Besides basic grammar, You need to know the original version of the fairy tale you're working on-- if there is none, follow the basic ideas of the macabre tales you've seen in the CYOA beforehand. REMEMBER... I read my work over and over and document EVERY WORD in a word doc. If I find that something has been unnecessarily changed or if you put something utterly crap into my CYOA, I'll delete it and/or change it right back, so make sure what you're posting is good. There isn't much point in posting it if you aren't going to post something good.

Now that that's over...
