Nothing final yet, as they're both still early in the planning/outline stage, but my next Merfolk Tales novella will PROBABLY be either: 
          	*A Baker's Tail-a loose Swan Lake retelling about a human baker cursed to be a mermaid during the day
          	OR
          	*The Sea Princess's New Shells-A gender-flipped mermaid retelling of Emperor's New Clothes

@Kae-LeahWilliamson I also thought about the old woman in the woods, the gold-children, Jorinda and joringel, Rumpelstiltskin and mother hulda

Looking for suggestions for fairy tales to base my next "Merfolk Tales" novella on. I have some ideas in my head, but they're all kind of half-baked at the moment, so I'm open to suggestions. I'm looking for fairy tales:
          *That can easily be adapted into a 20,000-40,000 word novella, so it's preferred that the original story is fairly long and detailed.
          *Are relatively lighthearted in tone and/or have a strong moral message
          *Can easily be adapted into a mermaid world

@heatherstafford55  The idea, which is still in the very early planning stage but very well may be my next book, is about a mermaid princess who ends up transforming into a human to hide from her evil stepmother.
