Reinventing The Classics with Priestess Skye 14 Years, 8 Months ago Karma: 696975
A new challenge idea was brought to my attention by Danyealle and so I'm going to run with it.

Reinventing the Classics...in other words, using the ideas and premise and story of an old piece where the copyright has expired and adapting it and making it your own...featuring Sesshoumaru and Kagome.

You can use any piece of literature as long as the copyright has expired on it. By having an expired copyright, we are given freedom to use, change and interpret what we'd like.

Examples include but are not limited to the following:

-Peter Pan (Not Disney or the plays, those are still copyright...only the original story found on the site)
-Moby Dick
-Works by Edgar Allen Poe
-Sherlock Holmes
-Works of Maurice LeBlanc (ie: Arsene Lupin)
-The original Jungle Book (not Disney)
-Dracula
-Works of Daniel DeFoe (ie: Moll Flanders)
-Works of Charles Dickens
-Works of Jane Austen
-Works of Aesop (Aesop's Fables)
-Works of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm (Grimms Fairy Tales)

The list goes on and on. Basically anything you find on this site www.gutenberg.org/browse/languages/en is fair game. They also have downloadable copies of the original stories on the site so you can read and use it as a reference.

This challenge has no deadline, so complete as you have time. There is also no work limit or minimum, though keep in mind that if you are doing a chaptered story, each chapter needs to be minimum 700 words as per Dokuga rules.

What I would like to see is each story given your own twist as you adapt it, rather than rewrite it word for word and simply inserting Sess and Kag where need be.

For Fanartists, you're more than welcome to participate in this challenge as well! Instead of writing a story, unless you want to, draw a scene from one of them using SessKag!

Participants can pick up one of these two banners, or both if you choose, doesn't matter to me. Pick and choose whichever you'd like





Happy writing/drawing!

Oh, Jane Austen was an exceptional writer <3 I'll have to try this out after I get some other stuff out of the way - summer's a lot more busy than you would think.

But I really love this idea, Skye! ~karma!~

Anyways, is there a certain deadline? I would love to do this, but it may not be for a few months..

EDIT: Thanks ~ That's good to know! Thanks for putting up this challenge!

Oh my gosh!!! This is a FANTASTIC idea, and the fact that there's no deadline is just icing on the cake!!!! When I'm finished with my current story, I'd love to write for this challenge! I keep saying that I'm going to quit writing, but ideas, be they mine or now Priestess Skye's, keep drawing me back in!!!

For this challenge do we have to rework the entire story or just scenes?

I still think Sesshomaru would make a good Bram Bones (Sleepy Hollow). Perfect for that part LMAO!
And, yeah, Sleepy Hollow is one that is out of copyright.

If you want to simply rework a scene instead of a whole story, that's fine with me

Hmh. Since there is no deadline, I might as well perhaps take a part in this... I'm bad with deadlines since my inspiration sorta comes and goes. ^^; It's a whimsical thing, just like my writing in general. xD

But yes, this all seems like a wonderful idea, and now for some reason I do have the idea of Jane Eyre stuck in my brain. >,> Though, I already have two on-going projects, so it might take a loooong while till I get anything done for this, if then I ever will.

In anny case, I'm interested and I might participate. :3

You sure about that 'no deadline' thing? Then how will you choose the best story written for this challenge? Or you just don't choose.... ????? >_< I'm sort of confused...

This idea?

AWESOME. <3

And it's slowly creeping its way up my to-do list - any excuse to check out Project Gutenberg, tbh. xD

Wow, this sounds interesting. I've looked online, and I must say, I think I'd tackle "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" by Frank L. Baum. I've been inlove with the story idea and I think I use the principle Idea then workd with it from there. Hmm... This should be good! I wonder who Sesshomaru's character should be? Oh! I got it! FUN!

Dorothy: Kagome Higurashi
Scarecrow: Miroku
Tin-Man(er. Woman): Sango
The Cowardly Lion: Sesshoumaru (that should be interesting!)
The White Witch: hm...Kanna, I think it'd be fun to make her a child
The Wicked Witch of the West: Kikyou...maybe, maybe not... still undecided

Of course it won't be completely the same, but I think it'd be an interesting work.
I hope it qualifies.

here's mine dokuga.com/fanfiction/story/2395/1 It's Aesops The Cock and the Pearl redone by being named Naraku and The Shikon Shard. I'm doing a whole set of Aesops (one-shot style), uploading one a day.

Okay while here is mine

A Grimm Twist: Briar Rose

And as the title suggests it is a twist on the classic Briar Rose by the Grimm Brothers, except that its a bit of a role reversal as well. Our handsome (sexy) Sesshomaru takes up the role as the Princess Briar Rose and as you can guess, the only plausible saviour is our own Kagome Higurashi. Enjoy and if it pleases you to do so, please leave me a review ^_^

Hmm . . . Sesshoumaru as Heathcliff. An interesting idea. I can see him in that role. I'll have to brush up on Wuthering Heights and see what ideas I get.

Omg I've been telling myself over and over again I need to find something to read that isn't Twilight and not only will I work on this challenge but I will do it from a book I haven't read yet. Though I think i'm gonna call dibs on a Jane Austen story because it would be perfect.

Edit: Woot I already decided upon Sense and Sensiblity just because I already read Pride and Predjuice and have grown tired of it...unless the copyright on Watchmen happens to expire anytime soon

I'm going to do Christmas Carol. Sesshomaru is going to be scrooge (though much cuter), and Kagome will be all three ghosts, just in different costumes. Geez, now I'm excited.
