Choose Your Own Adventure Fairytale Tag

Last year, the ladies at Fairytale Central brought you the Fairy Tale Tag, in which you were asked all sorts of fairytale questions.

This year, they’ve brought a choose-your-own-adventure tag! Let’s get right to it, shall we?

---

– Your father the king has declared a contest for your hand in marriage. But he’s allowing you to decide what kind of competition it will be. What do you choose? Is there a penalty for losing, or do the losers just go home while the winner remains to marry you?

Hmm…my first thought was archery. But jousting…nope, jousting sounds too painful. Sure, archery can be painful…if you aim wrong. But it sounds safer than jousting, so…archery.

And no penalty for losing; they just have to go home.

– You’ve just been told that you’re the Chosen One – the heir to your kingdom’s throne. Of course you demanded proof, but you didn’t expect quite so much of it to be brought forward. You grudgingly ask the state of the land. Your kingdom is at war with two neighboring kingdoms, a third kingdom is expecting your kingdom to ally with theirs and help them fight in agreement with an old treaty, there is famine in two counties in the north, and the barons of the kingdom are fighting over who will supply the palace with food for the next year. What do you do first?

Uh…

– You’ve set off to find your fortune but end up caught in a storm in the middle of the night in an enchanted forest…and there’s an ominous growl emitting from the trees. A warm looking cottage sits nearby but you’ve heard that questionable figures dwell in this wood. What’s your plan of action?

Check out the cottage first. Just in case there are friendly dwarves living there.

---

– It is time to christen your dear new baby. It’s expected to invite the local fairies but they’re known for “gifting” babies with less-than-desirable characteristics (Ella Enchanted-style). Do you invite them anyway or “accidentally” forget to send out an invitation and risk the wrath of the petty (but powerful) fairy-kind upon your kingdom?

Invite them anyway. No way I’m burning all the spindles in the kingdom; people need those to spin wool so they can weave it into cloth so they can make clothes that they NEED.

---

– Your fairy godmother grants the choice of three gowns for your one chance to meet the prince at the ball: a dress the color of the golden sun, a dress the color of the silver moon, or a dress the color of the sky. Which dress do you choose?

Color of the sky. But would it be the color of the sky in the morning, afternoon, evening, or night?? That’s the real question!

---

– Your cursed beloved tells you that only when he marries a true-blood princess will he be set free. Do you choose to aid him by finding a princess that can set him free from his horrible curse? Or do you visit the witch of the forest and make a deal with her to become a princess – but you will only get to be with your prince one day a year.

…I can’t decide which is worse.

---

– You’ve just completed a fairy tale adventure worthy to join the ranks of the world’s greatest legends. Alas, the kingdom’s most famous minstrel is also notorious for adding his own embellishments. Would you rather have your story lost to the world, your name and deeds forgotten, or to to be known as a hero throughout the land…just in a very inaccurate and mangled version of the story?

Well…

---

– You’ve just been approached by a man in a pointy hat who says you’re the chosen one destined to save a magical world. Before you enter the portal to this new world, you are allowed to take one piece of modern technology with you. What do you choose?

But…would I be able to use said piece of technology in the magical world?

---

– Your parents have angered a powerful witch in your land, and she has chosen to strike out at you to punish your parents. However, since you weren’t the one who actually angered her, she’s letting you choose your own fate: 1) sleep for 100 years and leave your parents to die of old age while you sleep, 2) be locked alone in a faraway tower so your parents will never find you, 3) lose your voice so you’ll never be able to speak to your parents, or 4) give you a fatal golden touch so that you can’t hug your parents lest you turn them into statutes.

Well…I’d rather not sleep for a 100 years. Like sure, I love sleep as much as the next person, but even I have limits.

As terrible as my singing voice is…I’d rather not.

NOPE TO THE LAST ONE.

And finally…the tower. Considering princesses in towers tend to be found anyway, whether by a prince or a thief that stole my crown and ironically has it in the satchel I’m holding hostage from him…I’ll go with the tower.

---

– You just found out that you have a twin, and you two were separated from birth because an ancient prophecy claimed one of you would bring ruin upon the kingdom. Are you the prophesied twin of ruin, or is it your brother/sister? How do you figure that out, and what do you and your twin decide to do about it?

Is this a trick question?

Alright, so…there you have it!
