Hello, Retellers!
“The reason that clichés become clichés is that they are the hammers and screwdrivers in the toolbox of communication.”
[Terry Pratchett, 'Guards! Guards!']
What are some of your favourite tropes in retellings?
AnnieL803
@retold It's always interesting to see what people translate the ball into in Cinderella retellings. Sometimes it's a masquerade, sometimes it's a costume party, sometimes it's a school dance, sometimes it's multiple days of a festival. . .but it's always Cinderella.
FictionwithPhoebe
@retold Not sure if this counts as a trope, but I like retellings set in different locations or time periods than the original.
