I’ve previously written about Laura Gibbs’ great work in “Drabbles” Are Cool Writing Assignments – Here Are A Ton Of Models.
One of the assignments she gives to her students is to write microfiction “drabbles” (no more than 100 words) from folktales. At that previous post you can see the actual assignment she gives students.
She’s actually begun putting the versions that she writes into eBook form, and she’d distributing them for free!

and the CC license means people can just copy and use them; there’s a plain text file to make it super-easy to transfer the materials into any format, any environment, editing as needed, etc. etc.
lots more to come! 🙂
