Fairy tales are a veritable mine of story ideas, be it Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, or the Puss in Boots. Stories can be even rewritten, so that Cinderella gets a positively feminist spin, where she does something unexpected to help herself without having to marry the prince, or Sleeping Beauty's fair savior who kisses her awake turns out to actually be a princess like in Neil Gaiman's story. Play with story ideas and spin them

so they reflect the more current times.
