The idea came from rabidchild67 who suggested I write a White Collar A/U as a Grimm Brothers fairy tale.
Now, being the literal, literary and literate fic writer, I took myself to the Internet, read dozens of GB tales - and discovered that most of them are fairly awful. Whether it was the translations, or what - they were pedantic, redundant, anti-semetic and quite often, nonsensical. Had RC67 suggested Hans Christian Andersen, this may have been a completely different story.
But the only way I could deal with the GB format was to adopt it, twist it to suit my purposes, add lots of crackastic WC touches and let 'er rip.
Fractured Fairytales - Directed by Michael Bey. I will pay to see that.
