The Apple Princess
Summary:
We raced down the trails at a furious pace, avoiding low-hanging branches and brambles on either side. Ahead of me, the trail opened up, and I saw the clearing I had seen so many times in my dreams. I saw several short men clustered in a circle, and with a start, realized they were standing around a glass coffin. I slid to a stop and walked my horse forward, hand resting automatically on my sword hilt. The leader of the dwarves scuttled to my side, bowing and polishing his glasses on his beard, his eyes downcast, face grave.
“You came too late, my Prince,” he proclaimed sadly, and his shoulders slumped with grief. “Snow White is dead.”

I love the idea of writing stories for all the princes!
Personally, I think the story of Beauty and the Beast would be interesting- how the prince became the beast and whatnot. Cinderella may also be interesting, with the prince's quest to find the foot that fitted the glass slipper.
I don't know, I'm sure you'll come up with something. I'd definitely love to read more if you write it though.
And check out some of my work too, pretty please?

OMG!
This. Is. Awesome.
I love fairytales! Who doesn't love to believe that there's a Prince Charming out there for all of us?
The way that you wrapped all the little points of the story up were amazing. I escpecially loved the work with the mirrors (reference to "mirror mirror on the wall" - I'm so proud I got that, but it's really smart!!!)
And the link to Rapunzel at the end just topped off an absolutely brilliant story. I hope you write more fairytales, that was amazing.
It was-, you know what? I can't even express in words how clever and brilliant that was. I loved it!
