Week 3: Brainstorming Storytelling Styles
Topic. My Storybook will be online
dating profiles of Mermaids. I want to have the site be along the lines of a
regular dating site you would find now, but instead of humans, they would just
be mermaids. I found four stories in particular that I would really enjoy
encompassing into my Storybook. The first story, which actually kind of drew me
to this topic, was Sam and the
Mermaid. I think this story really shows how ruthless and persistent a
mermaid can be, and I have the perfect profile in mind for this one. Another
Story that was very interest was Lorelei. This story
gave a great depiction of a mermaid to which I would like to elaborate on. Of
course I can't spoil any fun for now though. The other two stories I thought
about encompassing are The
Mermaid's Twin Sister and The Lady of
Gollerus. I thought both of these stories had some potential on being added
to my storybook. It may take some tweaking, but I would like to include them
both.
