I have absolutely no idea how I am going to narrow this down so quickly, but I will start to attempt to do so. I am having a hard time since a lot of the topics seem very promising and I am interested to start with things that call my name.
I think I am really interested in focusing on a Fairy Tale possibly, I like the idea of rewriting those and I did that last blog post. That was something I really enjoyed doing. I think the idea of focusing on a Fairytale and telling the story from a villain's perspective or giving a backstory similar to how the movie maleficent gives a backstory to the esteemed villain of the sleeping beauty story or similarly to Into the Woods the Sondheim musical that shows how the characters are flawed in some way and "happily ever after," isn't quite what it seems. Resources I looked at.
Another topic I may be interested in is urban legends, I didn't realize that was an option but I am super interested in doing research on urban legends. I loved the game poptropica growing up, and there was an island where you were supposed to go search for the different cryptids and decide whether they were real or not. Whether it be Nessie the Loch ness Monster, Bigfoot or the Chupacabra I think the idea is super cool. I am not exactly sure how I would approach this project necessarily, but I think I could do something exciting with it. Web source.
I also thought about possibly doing a goddess and going through her life and stories because strong feminine divine figures are extremely interesting and could be cool to focus on. I don't know exactly what culture of goddess I would want to focus on if I chose this route, but I like the idea of the Huntresses of Artemis and talking about that as a chosen family. Another goddess I have heard about and may want to think about is Venus from Roman mythology. The only knowledge I really have of these are just talking with my friends about which goddesses we would be in mythology, but I'm interested in learning more. Web source.
Finally, my fourth option is Jewish Fairytales because I have taken several Jewish History classes and I think it could be cool to analyze the history in another sense of the word. To focus on the storytelling that the people shared and talk about the different characters that were influential in the retelling throughout the years. Web source.
I think honestly, I really like the idea of doing a story about cryptids because I find them very interesting, but I don't quite know how I would go about it in a storybook way. Hopefully I can figure that out but if anyone has any ideas I am all ears!
