This short stage adaptation of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol is written to a large degree in iambic pentameter, the most frequently used meter of the plays of William Shakespeare. Join familiar characters such as Scrooge, Marley, Bob Cratchit, Tiny Tim, and various ghosts on the journey you know so well, delivered with the elevated (and approximated!) language of the Bard of Avon.

"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
Ebenezer's First Noel: A Prequel to The Christmas Carol
The Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens, is the beloved story of a miser's transformation. Ebenezer's First Noel shows what happened to Ebenezer Scrooge before and after Jacob Marley and the three ghosts visited him. In this retelling, Jacob sends Ebenezer back to his days when he was in love with Belle for one last chance for love and to save Marley from his torments. Pursued by the arch-criminal Professor James Moriarty, Ebenezer and Belle and their children Catherine and Heathcliff find refuge and make their lives in mid-nineteenth century Australia. Using themes and characters from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, H.G. Wells, and H.P. Lovecraft, Ebenezer's First Noel ties up all the loose ends but remains true to the spirit and style of Dickens's classic. It's a story of romance and redemption from the fog and the gas lamps of London of the Industrial Revolution to the early years of Australia's pioneers.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
