One good 'Red Riding Hood' fanfic could be one where Red Riding Hood is a skilled archer and she uses her skills to outwit the wolf in a more action - packed version of the story. For example, instead of just being a helpless girl, she has been training in secret with a hermit in the woods.
There might be a fanfic where Red Riding Hood is a detective in a modern - day setting, investigating a series of disappearances in the forest that are somehow related to an urban legend of a wolf - like figure. This would blend the classic elements with a modern mystery genre.
One similar story is 'The Wolf and the Seven Young Kids'. In this story, a wolf tries to deceive a mother goat's kids while she is away, much like the wolf in 'Little Red Riding Hood' tries to deceive the girl. Another is 'The Three Little Pigs', where the big bad wolf also plays the role of the villain trying to get to the pigs. There's also 'The Girl Without Hands', which has an element of a young girl facing danger from a malevolent force like in 'Little Red Riding Hood'.
One of the darkest versions could be the ones where the wolf actually devours Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother without any rescue. It's a very brutal and straightforward take on the story, emphasizing the danger and the harsh reality of the wild.
The grandmother can be a very interesting character. In some fanfictions, she's not just a helpless old lady. She could be a retired witch who still has some magic up her sleeve. For example, she might have enchanted the red hood to give Red Riding Hood special powers.
One origin story of Red Riding Hood has its roots in European folktales. It was likely passed down orally through generations. In some versions, it was a cautionary tale about the dangers of the forest and strangers, with the wolf representing the lurking threats in the wild.
The first story typically follows the well - known plot with the red hood as a symbol of innocence. The wolf takes advantage of this innocence. In a second possible story, it could be set in a different time or place. For example, in a modern city. Little Red Riding Hood is still on a journey, but instead of a forest, she has to navigate through the busy streets. The 'wolf' could be a modern - day villain like a con - artist. And she uses her wits to overcome the danger.
These fanfics can also play with the idea of transformation. Maybe the wolf has the ability to transform into a human - like form, and a complex relationship develops between him and Red Riding Hood. It might involve elements of mystery, as Red Riding Hood tries to figure out the true nature of this strange wolf - turned - human.
One family - friendly version could be that Red Riding Hood is actually on a mission to take some delicious food to her sick grandmother. She outsmarts the wolf by using her wits and the help of some forest animals. For example, the birds might warn her about the wolf's presence.
One interesting aspect is the moral lesson. It warns about the danger of talking to strangers. Little Red Riding Hood's naivete in chatting with the wolf led to her being in danger.
We can conclude that the relationship between Little Red Riding Hood's characters is as follows: - Little Red Riding Hood and Grandma: Little Red Riding Hood and Grandma have a close grandfather-grandson relationship. Little Red Riding Hood often visits her sick grandmother. - Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf: Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf are enemies. The Big Bad Wolf is the source of danger for Little Red Riding Hood and Grandma. - [Little Red Riding Hood and the Hunter: Little Red Riding Hood and the Hunter have a relationship of rescue and being rescued. The appearance of the Hunter saved Little Red Riding Hood and Grandma.] Please note that the above relationships are based on the search results provided and may not be complete.
One interesting plot twist could be that the wolf is actually a cursed prince. So instead of the traditional ending of Red Riding Hood being in danger from the wolf, she ends up helping him break the curse. Another could be that Red Riding Hood herself has some sort of magical power that she discovers during her encounter with the wolf. For example, she can communicate with the forest animals and they help her outwit the wolf.
