For general writing advice, I've never seen anything tha can hold a candle to Stephen King's ON WRITING. The first half is an autobiography of his writing life and the second half is a style manual. Really fantastic, practical advice in that one.

of course you've read Anne Rice's sexually charged Sleeping Beauty tales, right?

Check out Snow, Blood, Apples by Neil Gaiman. Its a really, really cool short story that twists Snow White.

I wrote a staory like this myself, not long ago....think I might have posted it here, actually. I'll see if I can dig it up for you to read:)
