Greetings,

I've been doing a lot fo reading about the importance of Fairy Tales and Fantasy Stories in child development. This book has been an interesting read so far.

Have any of you out there in Alliance-Land either:

a. Told stories about your characters or other people's characters to children?

or

b. Written any of these stories down like a child's storybook?

I'd love to hear about it if you have.

Our Head of Plot, and my friend, here at the Calgary chapter has recently published his first fantasy novel!!! It is fantastic! A good read for young and old alike.

I encourage everyone to check it out, you can get it on Amazon. As well as other places too of course. :)
 
I regularly talk about what our "camping friends" are doing with my 2-year-old who attends our events, as well. So I'd say she's sufficiently immersed in the stories that are told by and about our characters. I'll have to look into that book further, though.

I've never written any stories down or revamped them for telling to kids...


I have, however, made it a point to play with Luke's daughter whenever she's on site. The dead quiet in the room when the big scary "orange kitty" got down on the ground and rolled around with the baby was pretty priceless.
 
I've used characters and vague plot outlines as bedtime stories a few times.

It's what happens when you're at the end of a 5 day sleepover marathon with a 3 and 4 year old and you've read every book in the house with them. They start to call you out on repurposed fairy tales.
 
Not true. It just has to be carefully edited.

I used the idea of Silas, a man who could remake the world around him, as a bedtime story... it ended up being fun, because the kids would tell me how they'd change things, and we'd make up a story about how things would go after the alteration.

Nothing that happens in Deadlands is fit for children's consumption.

Didn't I LIVE a live action adaptation of Peter Pan at Deadlands?

Also... My kid's LOVE hearing the story of Paolo and "the pipe. "
 
The tale of Paolo and the Flying Bat is the exception that proves the rule, since everyone should hear that harrowing story.
