Novel(la?) outline
May. 23rd, 2012 02:52 pmThe one that goes with this.
Posting because of a conversation over at Shakesville, and how "I have been contemplating writing my own Snow White reboot for close to three years now, in which SW is the other kind of fairest and not really conventionally attractive. Also it's a fusion with Snow White and Rose Red, because the same name. And dwarf mining politics. And yes. (And also Red Riding Hood, but I didn't mention that there.)" Posting it here instead of over there because it's hella long and I have doubts about the Disqus comment limit.
[Content Note: Violence against a pregnant woman; assassination and attempts]
( Outline )
There's still several other things I need to decide in addition to wherever I left notes in the outline: how old everyone is going to be, how old the target audience is, what skin color everyone is going to have because I don't want everyone to be white but need to figure out about other countries and stuff, what SW and RR's names are actually going to be, who eventually does end up ruling the country, more details of Dwarf politics, etc. I am fairly certain that RR/SW's family line has some elvish/fae ancestry, which is one of the reasons their country has been so reluctant to let that iron vein get tapped, but there's still more to be decided there.
I've also got a bunch of stuff planned about Redcape's family and circumstances (the whole rebooted Red Ridinghood event took place in her childhood, and I'm pretty sure she lost a limb to the incident), and may look for an opportunity for RR to meet them.
