The motivation behind building Evil Princesses Realm
What if Disney princesses were evil, or became the villain? Which story would you write?
This was the prompt that started the whole thing off, Nathalia did a stream where she started to plan possible plots. Katiemay Write joined in the chat and now we are going to write this series together.

The goal of the project
We are hoping to get an amazing series out of this, with retelling's. The retellings are going to lean towards the dark side.

Evil Princesses Realm's Unique Selling point
Retellings are easy very popular and sometimes easier to write. Or just more difficult because the writer is bound to follow curtain plot beads, curtain well establish characters. To change that can be a challenge, but that is the beauty of the practice. To make that popular story your own.

Reader Experience
That is something we need to figure out, do we lean into the all hope is lost. Do we blend the stories from time to time? Or are we going to keep them seperate?

Reader Tone
Somewhere in the middle, at least that is what I (Nathalia) would say. Not everybody savors the same problem as our hero's or villains. But the people inside the stories, well they have problems.

Recurring Themes
We are going to focus, on the darkest themes of the fairy tales. But in some cases 'Sleeping Beauty' we are going making up our own dark themes.

Character Agency
Every character is the hero of their own story, no matter if they are the 'hero' or the villain. We need to try to keep that in mind and also make them feel as real as possible, in a world full of magic.
