We've all heard the fairytales: The charming knight finds the tower the beautiful princess is hidden away in, all to slay the evil dragon to bring her home and marry her. Right? Well, not anymore.

In this contest, take the story of the knight saving the princess from the tower and put an unlikely twist in it! Maybe the princess isn't a princess? The dragon's nice? It's actually a giant goat? The prince is like 85 years old? Take your pick!

Any genre or length is accepted. Have fun!

You clicked didn't you.

I would, I'm curious like that. In fact I'll probably browse the contests and still take a look because well - the heading told me too.

This may be the very last one my ladies and gentlemen! My heroes, competitors, my warriors and knights!

What is the prompt you ask?

"Into the woods."

Are you playing with the pixies or playing as children up trees? Are you fighting in a battle so intense it stains bark red? Are you hiding? Going on a date? Staring up at the stars? Murder?

So many things can happen in the woods! For a moment or a lifetime it is up to the authors of daring characters to play in the woods!

Any length and time setting... it is the last one after all. Make it count!

AND GUESS WHAT?!?!

Penana loves us! But you already knew that.

PRIZES!!!

Yes, you read that correctly. Penana is giving the winner a postcard with this theme upon it. You're gonna have to win it because I can't - so do your best!

So many can get in on this opportunity I have given you all THREE WEEKS! Ages I know! But there it is. Don't forget to enter though - time is deceiving.

And most of all - have fun entering and reading each other's stories. Like count is always considered.
