Please write a story about Rumplestilzkin.

How would I make Rumplestiltzkin romantic, Jacklynn?

Jenni James did a good clean Rumplesilzkin romance.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

I've recently read about five or six versions of Rumplestilzkin, and many of them veered away from the original version by making Rumple the good guy and the love interest - that's just not Rumplestiltzkin. The love story is in her marriage because she has to sign a contract to give her first born to Rumple unless she can figure out his real name.

I like Fairytale retellings and it seems to me that you like the story of Rumplestilzkin. So do I. I highly recommend you reading The Crimson Thread by Suzanne Weyn. It is my favorite retelling to date but I have to warn you...Rumple is good. Still I highly recommend this one.

Thanks, Joy. I'll check that one out.

Jenni James did a very good job turning rumplestiltkin into a love story.
