The American known by
the screen name “Elven
One” is part of a large
and growing community
known as cosplay artists.
According to the
Oxford
Dictionary,
cosplay is “The practice
of dressing up as a
character from a
movie, book, or
v i d e o
game,
especially
one
from
the Japanese
genres
of
manga and
anime.”
F o r
purposes
of this
article, we are limiting cosplay to the subgenre of fairy tale heroes. And beyond just
dressing up as their favorite characters,
most cosplay artists create their unique
creations and also often participate in
elaborate photo shoots.
Elven One, pictured at left, has many
such shoots of her Cinderella cosplay (as
well as others) on the cosplay.com website.
This cosplay site is loaded with many
artists proudly displaying their work, some
with detailed descriptions of the costume
creation and information about the photos
displayed.
The Magic Heart is a piece of fan fiction
written by Piccolo Sky. It is a self-described
adaptation of a lesser known fairy tale
called Donkey Cabbages.
This work is just one of many writing
samples of fan fiction fairy tales available
on the website fanfiction.net. Aspiring
writers and folk tale retellers from around
the globe are flocking to the web to try
their luck at developing their writing skills.
Many of the stories available are very short,
consisting of only a paragraph or two, while
others are submitted a chapter at a time as
part of a larger work. This is a great outlet
for those that want an outlet for their
hobby and to get feedback on their writing
and storytelling abilities.
