A lot of the stories would be good as a novel.

Which stories do you think would be good as novels? I know the authors would love to hear that kind of feedback!

I think that the Obedient Wife, Mind Your Peas and Qs, and Frosted Glass would all be really good novels.

I think "How the Little Mermaid Got Her Tail Back" by Andrea Dale in Fairy Tale Lust could have been expanded on to include more history, and more of the developments along the relationship with Phillip. It was a great short story but I think with more background and slower detail, it would make a great novel.

I think the one you're thinking of is "Big Bad Wolf (An Excerpt)". It is, indeed, an excerpt from a novel. I loved the story so much and felt the scene could stand alone as its own story. I'm sorry it didn't work for you!

I really did enjoy the story, and I'm happy it was put in there, because it prompted me to want to read that entire story. I can stand alone, but it's also easy to tell it wasn't necessarily meant to, if that makes sense
