Dumbledore announced to the assembled students and staff, "I'd like to introduce our new Defense Against the Dark Arts instructor, Mr. Harry Dresden."
(yes, I know the two universes are incompatible, deal.)

The handwritten letter that came in the mail was on thick, expensive paper. It read:
"On Thursday, 5 November, a vampire will visit your home. Invite him in. Please remove all religious icons and all mirrors or reflective surfaces from the reception area. Thank you."

Pick a fairy tale. It doesn't have to be a long one. Then retell it, from another character's point of view. You can choose the villain (a la Wicked), or some minor character (a la Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead), or another character. Post it here.

I'm not sure what the etiquette for posting fics here is, but I recently wrote a short story I wrote based on an opening line I found here, and it's now posted in my writing journal, sunset_glory.
Take a chance...click here!
Enjoy!

Oh damn, I forgot I was going to go out with George tonight. He always wants me to be the girl, and I should have started changing Wednesday if I wanted to be a girl for tonight....

I saw that there hadn't been a story seed posted in a while, so I hope that my sharing one is okay :)
"So wait, let me get this right. We're going to steal the idol, fight off hundreds of natives, leap into the plane, and also get the girl?"

This isn't so much an opening line as a title suggestion.
"Drive-by Flirtation"
