Fairy tales and specific motifs
HI, i was wondering if anyone could help me in writing my own fairy tale...it isn't as simple as i thought it would be. I am taking a class that analyzes fairy tales and we have been reading a whole bunch of them, and now we must come up with our own tales, but the thing is we have three motifs which we must incorporate into our home-made stories. My three motifs are: Maiden without hands, The Wonder-child, and The beautiful and the ugly twin. i haven't come in counter with any of these motifs in the fairy tales that i have read so i was wondering if someone could help me and give me some direction in this! thank you!

writing your own tale
Well, first things first. Try searching through the old postings on this board -- I believe there's a search feature built in someplace. Each of those themes has been discussed in the past, I think. Also, Terri Windling and Ellen Datlow edit a terrific series of modern fairy tale compilations -- looking through one of those might give you some ideas too. Hope that gets you started!
