Roundup: Once Upon a Fic exchange

[firecat]

Once Upon a Fic is a small exchange for fics based on fairy tales. All the nominated fairy tales must be available in the public domain. The source sheet for this year is a Google doc, available here.

27 works were posted this year. The exchange has run for 8 years.

This is my second time participating. I wrote a story based on Vasilisa the Beautiful and a story based on The Selkie Bride. (links are to the original sources)

I received a lovely, haunting story about Allerlairauh | All-Kinds-of-Fur.

Summary: "Before I fulfill your wish, I must have three dresses: one as golden as the sun, one as silver as the moon, and one that glistens like the stars. Further, I must have a cloak put together from a thousand kinds of pelts and fur. Every animal in your kingdom must contribute a piece of its skin for it."
