The Charles Dickens classic novel almost was never published. Here's the story of how he published it himself, battled against plagiarists, and found innovative ways to market his work. Oh, and he revitalized Christmas too. We shouldn't forget that.

"A Christmas Carol Reimagined" by Gratiana Lovelace, 2016
My fan fic "A Christmas Carol Reimagined" is the tale of a miserly middle aged man--a friend to no one--who is scared into realizing the folly of his ways when he is visited by three ghosts (past, present, and future). He then vows to be compassionate toward his fellow man and through his good deeds, he redeems himself--and he comes to know the meaning of love. My story here is my "mash up" of "A Christmas Carol" (original story by Charles Dickens) with Elizabeth Gaskell's "North & South", JRR Tolkien's (via Sir Peter Jackson's films of) "The Hobbit", and is set in the 1850's. I hope that you enjoy it! Cheers!Complete

A Christmas Carnage
The beloved characters from Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" return to solve a mystery. A grown-up Tiny Tim hunts Ebeneezer Scrooge's killer through the murky streets of 19th-Century London, leaving bodies in his wake. Follow Tim as he navigates the city's seedy underworld, aided by a grizzled Scotland Yard investigator and a wisecracking trans-woman prostitute. Together, they must outwit a host of suspects and follow a trail of clues that leads them deep into the heart of the city's criminal underworld. Will Tim be able to solve the crime and bring the murderer to justice, or will he be outwitted by the shadowy figures lurking in the city's shadows? Perhaps only the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come can say for certain.Complete
Second Chances: A Christmas Tale
Ao3 : Missfoodie2shoes (FULL CREDIT) This is my take on the classic Charles Dickens short story, A Christmas Carol. I know there are many other Harry Potter versions of it, but the ones I found were mostly parodies or comedies, and I wanted to take a more serious look at the story. I really enjoyed writing this, and any feedback, good or bad, is welcome. I wrote this many years before, after Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince came out, but before Deathly Hallows came out, so this would not be considered canon beyond HBP. I feel it still holds up well over the years, though, and thought I would share it with you all. Since this is the first Christmas since Alan Rickman passed away, I am dedicating this story to his memory. I will post once chapter a day, so this story will finish posting on Christmas Eve day. Happy reading and Happy holidays!Complete
