Frosty Needs HELP!

thanks

Yeah right. as if i'll tell you my ideas so you can go make money off it..
Um since this is a horror site,... are the fairy tales gonna be horror like? cause if they are heres a hint. sexual erotic type horror stories = zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz's man thats whats killed off the vampire genre. thats my opinion

well thanks for the opinion...but not all the stories are going to be sexualy active...some maybe but not all...and with stories like Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty and the such there will have to be some erotic exposure if you want it to be different from the original....
but im going more for gore and gothic scaryness then anything else

Have you ever read the original, uncut Grimm tales? Some of them get pretty dark and violent. Also, check out Strewelpeter for some ideas.
