- You do realise you will have to face the big bad wolf/maneating monster before becoming said hero/heroine, don't you? Don't look so worried. You'll be fine, honest!
- You are bound to cross the path of a wicked witch/treacherous wizard but you will find a way of overcoming them/shoving them in a heated oven etc. Don't look like that. You will, else the story won't work. And it's no good saying it's all right for me, you are the hero/heroine.
- Yes, fate can be a cruel beggar, it's funny you should mention that.
- There isn't a time limit for how long you've got to work all hours in dreadful conditions for an awful stepmother and stepsisters. Your fairy godmother will turn up when she's ready. Sorry, love, that's just the way it is.
- You thought coming across a cottage made out of confectionery and other goodies was the end to all your problems? Wrong! At best you'd get Type 2 Diabetes scoffing that lot, at worst you face the witch who uses said cottage to entice the unwary into her oven. Perhaps you should develop your common sense more.
- Yes, anyone offering you magic beans in return for a cow should be considered a con artist. Too late now? Oh dear...
- Yes, it is odd three bears choose to live in a cottage but it would be a good idea not to eat their food, trash their furniture and so on. Best give the place a wide berth. Too late now? Oh dear... hope you can run fast.
- If anyone offers you untold wealth in exchange for an old lamp, keep the lamp and it might be a good idea to tell any future spouse/partner, why that lamp should never leave your possession. She's disappeared along with all the wealth you gained? Hmm... you didn't tell her, did you? Feeling a bit stupid now? Well you should do...
- Look, you know the woman wanted to kill you. You know she's capable of evil magic. And this strange woman turns up at your cottage offering you a big red shiny apple... the dwarves did tell you to watch out for strangers. Yet you still ate the apple... Yes I know it's all worked out okay but perhaps next time you might be better off still if you listened to the dwarves in the first place.
- If you come across magical objects that can talk, do make sure they are happy for you to become their new owner before you remove them else they'll betray you. The next thing you'll know is there'll be an angry giant pursuing you. Oh? You're on the run right now are you? Oops! Hope you're handy with an axe, you'll need to be.

AuthorI'm Allison Symes and I write novels, short stories as well as some scripts and poems. I love setting my work in my magical world, the Fairy Kingdom, and my favourite character is Eileen, who believes hypocrisy is something that happens to other people without caring that statement is hypocritical in itself! Eileen is huge fun to write for and about. Archives
