TWISTED TALES || RACEBENT ROMCOMS
I’ve been considering posting this new feature over here for a while, and some time ago, I held a poll on Twitter about whether or not to do so. I got a resounding “Yes!” from the few people who responded so I guess we’re doing this.
What is this?
Twisted Tales started off as a series of photosets depicting POC fancasts of fairytales that are traditionally cast as not-POC. It started when the casting of Beauty And The Beast was announced, and sort of spiralled from there. I have been posting the photosets on Tumblr for a while now, and have more in the planning stages, and am always taking suggestions as to what to make and who to cast.
Racebent Romcoms was a similar idea, but it was me taking existing Hollywood romantic comedies, and recasting them for the modern day with a more diverse cast. There are less photosets of these, but I have more ideas that I am still trying to put together.
However, I want to know if it would be better to post these features every two weeks – on alternate weeks – or every week. My main worry is that I won’t be able to catch up with actually putting together these photosets, or I will run out of ideas.
So, two options, and this poll will also be up on Twitter. What do you think I should do?

I like the idea of doing this! Maybe do it every two weeks so that it is easier for you to keep up with? Don’t overwork yourself!

Thanks! I’ll be doing one of each every other week, I think. So one week will be Racebent Romcoms, and the next will be Twisted Tales! The first one goes up on Friday this week. I’m more stressed now than I was when I posted it on Tumblr! Lol.
